BERLIN - Germany's cartel office on Thursday cleared the formation of a joint venture between German defence contractor Rheinmetall and the state-owned Ukrainian Defense Industry (UDI).

The Electrical Trades Union has called on the ACT Chief Minister to intervene, after Evoenergy announced it would dock the pay of workers who wear campaign materials or inform the public or media about their struggle for a decent pay rise. Despite the worst cost of living crisis in recent memory, the company made a pay offer which amounts to a paltry eight percent over three years, a significant cut to real wages. Annual inflation is running at six per cent. The ACT Government effectively owns 50 per cent of Evoenergy through its wholly owned subsidiary, Icon Water.
