Good morning. Pacific governments at the Cop29 climate talks have lambasted Australia’s plans for a massive gas industry expansion in Western Australia, saying it could result in 125 times more greenhouse gas emissions than their island nations release in a year. They say the Labor government is “not acting in good faith” when it stands on the global stage and promotes its climate credentials.

Meanwhile, Russia has targeted Ukraine’s power grid in a huge missile strike, and an Israeli airstrike in a busy residential area of central Beirut has killed Hezbollah’s lead spokesperson. Plus: Tom Wright and Matt Faessler each scored hat-tricks as the Wallabies hammered Wales in Cardiff.
