SAMSUNG and LG have launched a new battle for television supremacy with both companies to unveil 8K televisions at Europe’s biggest consumer electronics show. But big questions remain whether Australia’s notoriously slow NBN internet system will have the firepower to support 4K streaming, let alone 8K television. LG believes the market for 8k TV will grow to about 5 million units by 2022. For consumers, the best news could be a drop in prices for 4K TV as the new kids on the block are rolled out. LG is sticking with its OLED driven technology, arguing it will continue to dominant the ultra premium market for users who want the most vivid pictures with the deepest blacks. It’s ‘world first’ 8K (7680 x 4320) OLED TV was launched at IFA 2018 in Berlin. The 88-inch 8K LG OLED TV features over 33 million self-emitting pixels. 4K resolution is 4096 pixels across the screen and 2160 pixels down. Most television screens promising to deliver a 4K resolu

The new energy minister, Angus Taylor, says he’s not a sceptic about climate science, just the economics of green schemes, and he’s declared renewables are “in my blood” and have an important role in the energy system. But while overtly backing solar and hydro, but not wind — a technology he’s long opposed — Taylor has also signalled he wants to encourage new investment extending the life of existing coal and gas plants, and upgrading ageing facilities, with an objective of boosting supply. In his first major speech in his new portfolio, Taylor has recommitted the government to pursuing heavy-handed interventions in the energy market cooked up in the last days of the Turnbull government, including “last resort” divestiture powers to break up power companies if they engage in price gouging. Renewables forecast to halve wholesale energy prices over four years But while threatening to wield the big stick, Taylor also sent a clear message to power com

TONY Abbott’s sister could replace Malcolm Turnbull in the Sydney seat of Wentworth, with the city councillor considering a tilt for Liberal Party preselection. Tim Hornibrook has confirmed she is considering running once the seat is vacated by the ousted prime minister she’ll consider entering the preselection fight. “I can confirm I am being encouraged by my Liberal Party colleagues to throw my hat in the ring and I will consider doing so,” Cr Foster told the Wentworth Courier. “But the Member for Wentworth is still the Member for Wentworth and until that changes this is a bit premature.” Why would this be a slap in the face? Because for months Mr Abbott has been at the centre of sniping and backbiting from the backbench, not just openly criticising decisions made by Mr Turnbull but behind the scenes working to turn the tide on his Prime Ministership. When asked if he would stay on as Wentworth MP Mr Turnbull had a biting response — aimed dire

Qantas has recorded a 15 per cent increase in annual profit due to strong demand for travel and an easing of capacity wars that had dented domestic flight profit margins in earlier years. The airline made a full-year net profit after tax of $980 million, versus $852 million the year before. The company’s preferred measure of “underlying profit before tax” also rose from $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion, which is a record for Qantas. Its profit result was based on a billion-dollar increase in revenue to $17.06 billion, and comes despite a rise in jet fuel prices. “We’re seeing healthy demand across key sectors matched with improving levels of capacity discipline, which is a positive sign for the year ahead,” Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce noted in the report. “This record result comes despite higher oil prices. We’re facing another increase to our fuel bill for financial year 2019 and we’re confident that we will substantially recover t

NBN Co will promote its chief financial officer Stephen Rue to lead the company, replacing Bill Morrow who leaves at the end of this month. Though the network builder had engaged a search firm to look externally for a suitable candidate, it wound up promoting from within. “Given the unique nature of the NBN access network and the Australian telecommunications environment, with the end of the build phase only two years away, the Board concluded that an internal candidate with firsthand experience of driving change and improvement throughout the company would be best placed to help ensure all Australians have access to fast broadband by 2020,” the company said in a statement. Rue has been chief financial officer for NBN Co since 2014. He will take up the new role of CEO on September 1.

Fraser Anning was urged to be controversial by a former One Nation official before he gave a racially inflammatory speech that has also triggered warnings the union movement will abandon Katter’s Australia party over the controversy. On Thursday Sky News played a recording purported to be of the former Queensland One Nation president Jim Savage telling an unidentified person that he and others had told Anning months ago to “say something really controversial, really hit that nerve” to draw attention to his first speech. “We told him to do that and that is exactly what he did,” Savage said, adding they urged Anning not to apologise afterwards but instead “hold your fucking nerve”. ‘Not under investigation’: Michaelia Cash denies being interviewed by AFP — politics live Savage told Guardian Australia he did not recall the conversation but it “sounds like the sort of thing I might have said” after Anning’s speech, adding he thought it

Melbourne has been dislodged by Vienna for the first time at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s global liveability index, strengthening the Austrian capital’s claim to being the world’s most pleasant city to live in. The two metropolises have been neck and neck in the annual survey of 140 urban centres for years, with Melbourne clinching the title for the past seven editions. This year, a downgraded threat of militant attacks in western Europe as well as the city’s low crime rate helped nudge Vienna into first place. Vienna regularly tops a larger ranking of cities by quality of life compiled by the consulting firm Mercer. It is the first time it has topped the EIU survey, which began in its current form in 2004. The struggle for Melbourne: has the world’s ‘most liveable’ city lost its way? At the other end of the table, Damascus retained last place, followed by the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, and Lagos in Nigeria. The survey d

National Australia Bank executive Andrew Hagger has insisted the bank was “entirely open and transparent” with the regulator in estimating its likely compensation costs, after being accused of delaying tactics. After NAB’s extensive grilling on the charging of fees-for-no-service, Mr Hagger, who was called back on Friday, faced repeated questioning about what the bank told the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, which was preparing a report on banks overcharging super clients in October 2016. Andrew Hagger also appeared at the financial services royal commission earlier this year. Mr Hagger, the former head of wealth, told the commission he had communicated the likely increase in its compensation bill, which ASIC thought was about $16 million but the bank expected to reach $34.3 million, to ASIC Commissioner Greg Tanzer.
