· First Nations students four times more likely to have no internet at home
· Closing the Digital Divide should be part of Closing the Gap targets
First Nations households are suffering a yawning “Digital Divide” with the rest of Australia, with a new report released on Closing the Gap Day showing one in four First Nations households has no internet access, limiting learning opportunities for Indigenous students.
COVID-19 widened this gap over the last year, with school closures meaning that many First Nations students could not access the learning materials, teaching and support that their class peers could access online, the report finds.

Feds announce $7.1M for new wind turbines at Raglan mine

Tugliq Energy to help fund the installation of two more wind turbines at
Glencore‘s remote Raglan nickel mine.
The operation, in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, already has two 3-MW wind turbines, one constructed in 2014, and the second in 2018. The two turbines currently generate around 10% of mine power, saving over 4 million litres of diesel every year, and reduces emissions by 12,000 tonnes. Two more wind turbines would increase the mine’s renewable energy capacity to 12 MW and its energy storage capacity to 6 MW, and reduce diesel use by 6.6 million litres annually.
