NonePolicymakers at home and abroad are anxious about offshoring F OR DECADES China has put foreign capital to work. Officials encouraged Western firms to trade technology for access to its vast market, helping to build up Chinese competitors that were often better and always cheaper. They began shipping goods westwards. The resulting “China shock” is often blamed for causing economic dislocation and despair in America’s industrial heartlands. Now, however, it is China’s turn to worry about offshoring. Its manufacturers are taking flight.

MITCHELL — Having kicked off practice recently, a new era has dawned for the Mitchell High School girls basketball team. To help guide the team forward, the Kernels are turning to its most experienced players to front the charge. ADVERTISEMENT The senior trio of returning starters Carsyn Weich and Lauren Van Overschelde, along with role player Makenzie Peterson, have taken on more prominent leadership roles within the relatively young roster, while also being among the players the Kernels will look to as they try to improve on a 20-win season and a sixth-place finish at state last year. Even with the success, which included a 15-0 start and the Eastern South Dakota Conference title, the girls know they’ll need to find an extra spark in order to compete for wins. “We’re going to have to be more confident,” Weich said. “We all know we have big shoes to fill and we’re stepping up a little bit and doing more each practice. Our coaches have faith in us, so we have to have faith in ourselves too.” “We just have to remember it’s for the team,” added Peterson. “I know we have so much potential and I know we can bring it. I’m waiting to see it and I know everyone else is as well.” Much of the discussions have been about what can the Kernels do together, knowing everyone will have to make meaningful contributions following top point-scorer Sawyer Stoebner’s graduation, who also led the team in rebounds, assists and steals last season. Each of the three seniors have stepped up to lead the team in different ways. Weich has led ball-handling drills in practice, while Peterson and Van Overschelde have used their actions during practices to set an example to the other girls on the roster. Having been around them throughout their basketball journey, Kernels head coach Dave Brooks knows they’ll let their work ethic set the tone each time the team’s together. However, their words carry added significance. ADVERTISEMENT “I trust their judgment,” Brooks said. “When they speak up, we need to listen. When something’s getting caught, out of control or if they’re pushed far enough, they will speak up, and I think that’s good for our kids to have that.” Patience will also be key, as outside of Weich, Van Overschelde, Peterson, and junior returning starter Addie Siemsen, this year’s team is composed of mostly freshmen and sophomores who’ll see time at varsity and junior varsity this season. Knowing the importance of maintaining morale, even as the group will inevitably deal with adversity throughout the season, the seniors are working on keeping themselves positive and instilling confidence. “We can’t be down on ourselves and we can’t be down on our teammates,” Van Overschelde said. “There’s going to be moments, but we have to stay positive and that’ll make everyone else get better every single practice and every single game.” Overall, the players and coaches know the first few games will be a learning process for the team, as Mitchell opens the season with consecutive home games at the Corn Palace against defending Class A state champion Vermillion on Friday, Dec. 13, and ESD foe Watertown on Tuesday, Dec. 17. Weich, Van Overschelde and Peterson have shown the rest of the Kernels their ability to take on the added responsibility, having grown from the final game at state last season throughout the summer to being in the position they’re in now. “We have great seniors,” Brooks said. “It’s amazing how kids can change from junior year to senior year, which is a good sign. They get along well and like hanging out together, and will still be in the gym with others when practice is over.”Tweet Facebook Mail A bipartisan committee has brushed aside concerns about unfairness to back the AUKUS treaty, while urging governments to make nuclear waste storage a "priority". The Senate's joint committee on treaties decided the agreement, and the nuclear-powered submarines it will eventually deliver, would give Australia a "clear advantage" in the "most complex and challenging strategic environment since the Second World War". The inquiry into the broad military alliance with the US and UK heard concerns from Australian National University law Professor Donald Rothwell and others about the wording of the agreement being too heavily in favour of London and Washington. Australia will purchase US Virginia-class submarines under the AUKUS defence pact. (AP) He said AUKUS offered "an enormous amount of flexibility" for the UK to US to withdraw, without giving Australia the same leeway, describing the agreement as "somewhat exceptional". The international law expert argued the deal handed Australia all the risks while indemnifying its allies and also raised concerns about a lack of certain mechanisms to resolve future disputes. The committee put concerns over the wording down to the treaties decades-long lifespan rather than it being "unfairly weighted" against Australia. It anticipated further agreements, called instruments, to emerge in the future and called for parliament to closely scrutinise them. Labor committee chair Lisa Chesters said the committee had determined the agreement was in the national interest. "Australia's acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines provides our nation with not only a strategic advantage, but also an opportunity to grow Australian jobs, education and infrastructure," she said, in a statement. "'The successful implementation of AUKUS will require upskilling the Australian workforce. This is an opportunity for our education sector and will create jobs that last for the life of the agreement and beyond. The staggering sums countries spend on defending themselves View Gallery "The 20,000 jobs added by the AUKUS program will diversify Australia's workforce and will provide high-paying jobs for trades and tertiary educated workers alike." She called for an education campaign to plug the deal's benefits and dispel "myths". The deal, signed three years ago with the aim of maintaining a "free and open Indo-Pacific" in the face of China's increasingly muscular stance, provides for a new fleet of eight nuclear-propelled submarines. The initial stage is set to cost up to $368 billion by 2055 to build, with the first vessels operating out of Adelaide by the 2040s. Australia and its AUKUS partners, the United States and Britain present the agreement. (AP) US and British nuclear submarines will deploy out of Western Australia from 2027 until the Royal Australian Navy until the nuclear-powered alternatives, whose advantages include increased range and being able to stay underwater for longer, are ready. The subs are nuclear-powered and won't carry nuclear weapons but running them out of a non-nuclear country will still require outside help for maintenance, raising concerns from some over sovereignty. Maintenance will also produce limited amounts of nuclear waste, something that was a concern at some of the hearings. "The issue of nuclear waste disposal needs to be addressed in a timely and transparent manner," the committee wrote. "While the committee acknowledges that the disposal of the nuclear fuel used to power the submarines will not be required until the 2050s or later, the decision of where to store the small amounts of low-level waste created during routine maintenance of the nuclear-powered submarines needs to be a priority."

Among the 500,000 objects in the collection of the Powerhouse museum, its new trust president nominates a shopping arcade sign as his favourite. Business leader, and former Labor roads minister, David Borger, has the job of delivering the largest cultural infrastructure project in Australia since the Sydney Opera House. Powerhouse president, David Borger, says there is a lot riding on the opening of the Parramatta museum. Credit: James Brickwood All of that will be during an election campaign year, smack bang in the middle of one of the most marginal seats in NSW. “I’d be derelict in my duty if I didn’t feel pressure because there’s a lot riding on the opening of this museum,” Borger says. The electric neon sign to which he shares an emotional attachment once belonged to a mall he’d take his mum. Representative of the 1980s commercial retail development in Parramatta CBD – much of it flattened in a local building boom – it will be hung in one of the museum’s opening exhibitions showcasing the psychology of the shopping mall. “Mum had a mental illness,” Borger says. “She would be in Cumberland Hospital every three years, and we would come for a cup of tea in the Parramall cafe. “Now that sign from that little old shopping centre is going to be a part of something bigger. It’s remnant of a place that’s probably changed more than Dubai.” Born and bred nearby to Parramatta, Borger has been a longtime critic of the lop-sided distribution of cultural investment to city museums and galleries. He was, therefore, an obvious choice to step into the shoes of former Coalition arts minister Peter Collins to lead the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences trust from January 1. The trust has oversight of a $300 million revamp of the shuttered Ultimo campus, as well as the museum’s new $915 million Parramatta headquarters, the region’s first state-run cultural institution due to open in 2026. On the Parramatta riverside, more than 70 per cent of its 1300 pieces of exterior structure of the building are in place. Inside the concierge room of the Powerhouse where visitors will be welcomed. Credit: James Brickwood Installation of doors in the largest of the presentation spaces is underway where visitors will marvel at large objects showcasing the history of air travel and space exploration and First Nations stargazing. Visitors will spill out to a northern terrace. The museum will serve a region home to one-eighth of NSW’s population, one in five of whom are under 15 years, and half born outside Australia. For many, it will be the first time they step into a museum. “We’ve got to be a bit unpretentious here,” Borger says. “We don’t want to be too stuffy and conservative; we have to be welcoming. We have to deliver a great experience when someone walks in the door for the first time, something that knocks their socks off.” Suzette Meade, who led protests against the demolition of the historic villa, Willow Grove, which made way for the Powerhouse, questions spending on authors, chefs and photographers appointed as museum associates alongside professional curators and conservators. She is looking for the trust, led by Borger, to focus on delivering what was promised to the families of western Sydney – a museum of science and technology to rival the Smithsonian, as well as celebrating Parramatta’s rich cultural heritage. Borger is promising dedicated family exhibitions, with the interests of families and children embedded in all its offerings. He is “unapologetic” about finding new ways to present the collection. Nor should the public mind, he says, if weddings share presentation floor space. All but one of the seven Parramatta display spaces will be available for commercial hire. “The hope is that there’s some great experiences here and some revenue generating opportunities that can go to help with the operational costs. “We need to make sure that people come back for multiple visits, that they feel a connection to the museum because quite frankly a lot of people haven’t felt close to their museums for a long time. They’ve lived so far away from them, it’s been hard to get to them.” Borger’s first challenge is meeting the government’s $75 million goal for private donations for building costs. Some $53 million has been raised for capital works over three years, $27 million short of its target. The museum is without a campaign director. Borger says there was a pipeline of prospective donors to the museum with “real weight” and was confident of “closing the gap”. Should he fall short, the bill will be picked up by taxpayers. To rumours of overruns in fitout and program, Borger concedes budgets can move. “I’m confident we will deliver an amazing series of exhibitions within the money that has been given to us,” he said, adding: “I think some people frankly don’t believe western Sydney could host a tier-one cultural institution. There’s some who still don’t. We’re going to prove them wrong.” Find out the next TV, streaming series and movies to add to your must-sees. Get The Watchlist delivered every Thursday .

Auto industry leaders say U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs on Canadian goods would have devastating effects for the sector, forcing both Canadian and U.S. consumers to pay higher vehicle prices. Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, said it’s unreasonable to apply such a tax to vehicle parts, which may cross the border up to eight times before ending up in a finished vehicle. He noted the auto industry works with single-digit profit margins. “A tariff of 25 per cent is like talking about purple unicorns,” said Volpe in an interview. “I think we need to ignore the number, because cars would cease to be made by American companies if that came into effect.” Trump sparked backlash among Canadian business and political leaders after posting to Truth Social on Monday that he will sign an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all products coming to the United States from Canada and Mexico. The incoming president said such a tariff would remain in place until Canada and Mexico stop drugs and people from illegally crossing the borders. Global Automakers of Canada president and CEO David Adams said his organization had “obvious concerns” about the announcement. “A 25 per cent tariff on all imports from Canada — the largest trading partner of the United States — will negatively impact jobs and livelihoods on both sides of the border across a number of key sectors of our economies. This would also be the case for the automotive industry,” said Adams in a statement. “In our view, Canada must act swiftly and firmly to make the case that the U.S. and Canada are stronger and more competitive when we face the global challenges together, not apart.” Volpe said any cross-border tax would increase the cost of components and raw materials that go back and forth between the neighbouring countries. That would lead to a slowdown in production and a supply shortage, prompting higher prices for customers at dealerships. “Everybody would feel it,” he said. “First, the American consumer would feel it. But it wouldn’t take too long before it would be shared by everybody, meaning everybody in Canada and Mexico as well.” During the U.S. election campaign, Trump had promised to introduce a universal 10 per cent tariff on all American imports — a pledge that would reduce the size of the Canadian economy by around one per cent, resulting in $30 billion per year in economic costs, according to previous modelling by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. But asked if he would consider any tariff level digestible for the Canadian auto sector, Volpe replied, “Zero is the maximum.” “It’s simply because we’ve built this auto sector together,” said Volpe.
