• kaminoge 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fantastic tour - amazing way to see Brisbane and the Bay. Wasn't really sure what this was going to be like - but it was fantastic. Definitely blew any expectations out of the water. Matt was a great guide and we couldn't believe how much of Brisbane we got to see. Starting from Kangaroo Point we headed down river and ended up in the Bay in sight of Manly Marina. Floating around the Bay (we shut the jet skis off to just hang for a bit) on a gorgeous winter's day while dolphins frolic around you is hard to beat, they were so close and there were so many! Apparently you even see dugong some times although we weren't that lucky. We then made our way back up river all the way to St Lucia before heading back to Kangaroo Point. We chose the tandem jet ski and both got a turn at driving. The tour had a great mix of times when you're going slow and appreciating the scenery and times when you can cut loose and enjoy the jet ski. I hadn't been on a jet ski since I was a kid and my husband had never ridden one before - there were good instructions at the start and Matt did an excellent job of making sure we were safe despite all the other craft on the river. This was a fabulous tour and I highly recommend it as a way to see this gorgeous city from a different vantage point while having fun on the water. Thanks Matt for a great day!

Ciara Nugent in Buenos Aires

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Argentina’s Javier Milei will meet tech executives including Tim Cook and Sam Altman in California this week, marking the libertarian president’s fourth trip to the US in five months as he seeks to build hype for his economic reforms.

Milei will spend Tuesday to Friday in San Francisco, meeting business leaders including the Apple and OpenAI chief executives, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, the president’s office said on Monday.

His spokesperson said the trip was designed “to position Argentina in the world once again”. The Latin American country’s tech sector is one of the region’s largest.

Milei has travelled extensively since taking office in December, courting the global spotlight via friendships with rightwing figures such as Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who he met at the carmaker’s Austin factory in April, and giving fiery conference speeches defending his free market “anarcho-capitalist” beliefs.

By the end of June he will have completed eight foreign tours — a record for Argentine presidents in their first six months in office, per newspaper La Nación. None have been within South America.

Milei’s latest trip abroad comes at a moment of turbulence at home. On Monday, the president’s office announced the resignation of cabinet chief Nicolás Posse, one of his closest advisers, after delays to the government’s legislative agenda in congress.

Posse will be replaced by interior minister Guillermo Francos, a veteran politician and one of Milei’s main negotiators in congress.

Opposition politicians have criticised Milei’s travel, and three lawmakers have asked police to investigate his officials for using public funds on a trip to a far-right political conference in Spain, which they argue was made in a personal capacity.

For many Argentines, roughly half of whom approve of Milei’s government, his global profile has been a “novelty”, said Cristian Buttié, director of pollster CB Consultora.

“We are not used to Argentine presidents being famous internationally; for young voters the photos with Elon Musk have a certain allure,” he said. “But the question is: will that fame benefit Argentina, or will it just benefit Milei?” 

Analysts said international businesses were likely to hold off on investing in Argentina, which is suffering its worst economic crisis in two decades. Annual inflation was running at 289 per cent in April and economic activity was down 8.4 per cent in March compared with a year earlier.

Milei has slashed government spending to halt the use of money printing and bring down inflation. But he has yet to secure longer-term reform in congress, where he controls fewer than 15 per cent of seats.

“Many, many years of a volatile investment climate have [badly damaged] Argentina’s international reputation,” said Kezia McKeague, managing director of McLarty Associates, which advises multinationals operating in Argentina. “You don’t change that in six months.”

“There is a great deal of excitement in some sectors, but companies aren’t ready to pull the trigger yet,” she said.

Negotiations are dragging on in the senate over Milei’s first two bills, which include measures to cut the fiscal deficit and an incentive scheme for investments in mining and other sectors.

Musk and Milei discussed lithium, the crucial electric vehicle battery metal of which Argentina has some of the world’s largest reserves, when they met in April, according to the president’s team. But Musk did not announce any new investment.

The government also has yet to lay out its plan for removing Argentina’s strict currency controls, which limit companies’ ability to take profits out of the country, and whether it will pursue Milei’s controversial campaign pledge to replace the peso with the US dollar.

“There is a lot of inconsistency . . . which makes it impossible to plan investments,” said Fabio Rodriguez, director at consultancy M&R Asociados. “That’s what I’d want to hear about if I were an investor meeting with Milei, rather than socialism and capitalism and freedom.”

AFL addresses controversial holding the ball rule as umpires face mid-season training on interpretation

Sport AFL addresses controversial holding the ball rule as umpires face mid-season training on interpretation

The AFL has made a mid-season change to the contentious holding the ball rule after weeks of backlash from coaches and fans.

AFL hierarchy have directed umpires to shorten the 'reasonable time' component of the rule after a range of coaches expressed confusion at how the law was being implemented.

"It has become clearer throughout the season that in discharging their duty of care whilst executing a tackle, tacklers are positively electing not to take tackled players to ground in the tackle or are generally doing so in a reasonable way including by not using excessive force," the AFL said in a statement on Wednesday.

"As a consequence, we are seeing players hold onto the ball slightly longer and challenging the definition of 'reasonable time'.

"Our umpires are clear on the interpretation of holding the ball and it continues to be a focus of umpire coaching each week.

"We want to ensure our clubs, coaches and players understand the rules and how they are being officiated."

Carlton's Michael Voss, Gold Coast's Damien Hardwick and Geelong's Chris Scott are among coaches in the past week to express confusion about the rule.

Hardwick, after the Suns' loss to Carlton, said the length of time taken to pay holding the ball free kicks was creating a "very, very dangerous situation".

The triple-premiership coach said umpires needed to "pay a free kick or blow the whistle".

"What I will say is 131 effective tackles today and there were four holding the balls for both sides," he said post-game.

"We've just got to get on top of this because the players certainly owe each other a duty of care, but as umpires we've got to blow the whistle earlier.

"Because the reality is they're putting players in a really compromising position that they could get hurt, and we don't want that.

"So we've got to look at it. We've got to coach it.

"I know it's incredibly hard, but from a player's health and wellbeing point of view, we've just got to make sure for the benefit of the game that we look after the players."

Voss said after that game he would follow up with the AFL while Geelong's flag-winning coach Scott added his voice to a chorus of concern.

"The players are in an incredibly difficult position at the moment," he told Fox Footy on Monday night.

"The tribunal have clearly said that if you pin the ball carrier's arm … (and a) head hits the ground, that's a dangerous tackle.

"It's a real coaching challenge at the moment."

Taylor Swift catches a lot of heat over jet travel. Here's her actual impact

H ow did Taylor Swift become a lightning rod in the debate over carbon dioxide emissions, and just how much does her private jet contribute to global warming?

The Eras Tour superstar is known for boosting economies, being taught at universities like Harvard , rerecording her music and breaking records with new album releases including "The Tortured Poets Department." She has also gained attention for flying her private jet (she sold her second one) around the world for concert stops, to do business and meet with friends in New York, rehearse in Los Angeles, see her family in Nashville and visit her boyfriend Travis Kelce in Kansas City, Missouri.

Conversation began in 2022

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

In the summer of 2022, Kylie Jenner posted a photo (that's since been deleted) of her and Travis Scott's private planes with the caption, “You wanna take mine or yours?” The backlash led the Yard , a content and public relations firm, to publish a study of which celebrities produced the most private jet emissions that year. The publication put Miss Americana as the top of the list.

The Yard has added a disclaimer to the top of the study that reads in part: "Following the release of our data, Rolling Stone contacted each of the celebrities' representatives for comment. Taylor Swift's representative said the following: 'Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.'"

The jet tracking student

Amid the hype in 2022, a student studying information technology at University of Central Florida (UCF) started to track Swift's two jets. Jack Sweeney set up an automated system that posted updates when the billionaire's private planes departed and landed. His account took off during Swift's trips to NFL games as fans checked to see if she would attend to root on the Kansas City Chiefs .

The increased attention outraged Swifties who said Sweeney invaded the tortured poet's privacy and posed a security threat .

"It's all public record, you have this information at your fingertips," he says over Zoom. "There's an interest by fans, but others are upset. They think I'm stalking (Swift) when I'm just sharing public information."

His fascination with tracking planes began during the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. Sweeney looked into Elon Musk's planes and posted information about his jets. At one point, he says, Musk offered him $5,000 to shut down the X/Twitter account. The UCF student talked to a journalist instead, and the deal was off the table.

Musk, the owner of X/Twitter, banned Sweeney's accounts. With his Instagram account garnering close to 100,000 followers last winter, Meta also pulled the plug.

Swift's team sent Sweeney two cease-and-desist letters saying the tracking was endangering the singer and a "life-or-death matter." The student hired a lawyer and after releasing a public letter and doing some interviews , the back-and-forth grew cold.

When asked about security, the Sweeney says, "Other people have done a similar type of thing where they're posting about her planes. When she flew to Brazil, the news was livestreaming at the airport. If my tracking goes away, there's still going to be stuff like that, and she travels with a security team. The airport is one of the most secure places."

Swift sold one of her two private jets at the beginning of the year. An animation shows the 2023 trips of Swift's two jets that added up to 178,000 miles, emitting 1,200 tons of carbon dioxide. The majority of those flights were to Los Angles, New York, Nashville and concert stops for the 2023 Eras Tour .

If you search for lists of top carbon-emitting celebrities, there are conflicting reports. MyClimate ranked a list of celebrities in 2023 by their carbon emissions and didn't put the Eras Tour singer in the top 20 , giving Travis Scott, Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk the highest ratings.

Swift's impact on the environment

Payless Power did a conservative prediction of Swift's jet travel for 2024 including her 86 shows in 27 Asian, Australian, European and North American cities.

"The goal of the study was to look into renewable energy," says Adi Sachdeva, a project manager with Payless Power. "Her tour is one of the biggest tours that have ever existed."

Using data from the Myclimate Carbon Tracker, the Texas-based company created a report projecting the jet's carbon emissions, not including any detours the singer may make between stops.

They noted Swift will fly an estimated 43,688 kilometers and emit 511,154 kilograms of CO2 for the Eras Tour. To put this into perspective, it's the equivalent of driving 1,307,311 miles in a gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. It's also equivalent to the emissions made from 67 households in an entire year.

Although this may seem like a lot for the singer conducting a record-breaking tour across the world, the report states her 2024 travel still doesn't come close to the top celebrity emitters of 2023: Travis Scott (6.06 million kilograms of CO2), Kim Kardashian (5.86 million) and Elon Musk (4.56 million).

"We wanted to make comparisons to individuals, in general," Sachdeva says. "A lot of times you'll see these large numbers online of a private jet but without seeing what that means, people will go with the numbers that seem very large without knowing their own emissions."

An environmentalist weighs in

Nick Loris, the vice president of public policy for C3 Solutions , a conservative climate coalition looking to improve energy abundance and energy affordability, helps to put Swift's jet-setting impact into perspective.

"While aviation is important and private aviation is a pretty high contributor to the industry, it's still a relatively small percentage of overall global greenhouse gas emissions," he says. "Some of the top emissions are caused by the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transportation, so coal, oil and to a lesser extent natural gas. Buildings use a lot of energy, and we primarily use gasoline and diesel to get around. Industry and agriculture are other fairly big contributors.”

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, aircraft accounts for 9% of carbon-related emissions in the United States. Private jets produce at least 10 times more emissions than commercial flights per passenger.

Loris notes the reality is Swift can't fly commercial. It would lead to a surfeit of issues with logistics and security; consider the circle of security guards that surround her on red carpets.

So what are the solutions?

Loris says Swift's overall impact to emissions, in 2022, was about 0.000000225% after dividing her emissions, 8,300 metric tons, by global greenhouse gas emissions of 36.8 gigatons. Her percentage for 2023 and 2024 may be slightly higher with her tour travel.

Tree Paine, Swift's publicist, told Bloomberg News in 2023 the singer-songwriter purchased more than double the credits needed to offset all her travel .

"There are a few challenges with carbon credits," Loris says. "There are a lot of good activities that result from carbon offset projects, things like reforestation projects, different types of direct air capture technologies or investments in renewable power. The challenge is there are also a lot of junk carbon offsets where the project may have been built anyway and therefore there was no additional reduction in emissions. It's also important that carbon offset projects are measurable and durable. Let's say you purchased carbon offsets for a reforestation project in California, and then all of those burn up in a forest wildfire. That would release pollution and CO2 into the atmosphere and undo the carbon offset."

Loris says with all the increased attention, the singer could become a vocal advocate for jet-setting solutions and an investor in new and innovative technology such as sustainable aviation fuels or direct air capture (essentially a carbon-sucking vacuum).

Swift is on the European leg of the Eras Tour . She has shows in 15 more cities across the continent before heading to North America in the fall.
