New South Wales (NSW) Government in Australia has unveiled a plan to invest AUD$750 million (£414m) in what it says is a green industrial revolution.
The programme is expected to support the development of new low carbon technologies, create centres of research and help existing industries future-proof their operations.
Around AUD$380 million (£210m) will support existing industries to re-tool with low emissions alternatives.
A total of AUD$175 million (£96m) is expected to set up low carbon industries such as green hydrogen while a share of AUD$195 million (£107m) will finance research and development of new clean technologies.
“And by the time I was 16 years old, I was considered ungovernable and I was dropped off into a group home,” Maci explained.
At that point, most kids languish in the foster care system, but Maci’s life took a storybook turn at South Plantation High School. A teacher, Gigi Kean, got to know her and suggested to Maci that she join the Kean family, which already had two kids.
Maci would be gaining a sister who she had become friends with in drama class and a younger brother who was in middle school at the time.
“I really just did it because we could, everything she needed was something we could offer,” Gigi Kean said, but added that she and her husband hope they’re showing that adoption can work for families even when older children are involved.
