Delve into *The Coal Curse: Resources, Climate and Australia's Future: Quarterly Essay 78* by Judith Brett, a pivotal exploration of Australia's economic dependency on fossil fuels. This insightful essay highlights Australia's historical reliance on coal and the complex dynamics of the 'resource curse' that has shaped national politics. As a country rich in natural resources yet lacking in innovation, Australia faces a crucial turning point. Brett addresses vital questions: Should Australia double down on coal in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has disrupted international trade and tourism? Or is it time to pivot towards renewable energy and sustainable local manufacturing?

This Quarterly Essay details the costs of Australia's coal addiction, the societal impacts of fossil-fuel interests, and the urgent need for effective climate policy. A must-read for anyone concerned about Australia's ecological future and global climate challenges, this trade paperback encourages thoughtful discussion on leadership and environmental responsibility. Discover Brett's compelling narrative about Australia's future and gain insights into the pressing need for a transition away from fossil fuels.

Good fit and nice sharp holesaw included
The hole made by the included holesaw was the perfect size for the insert. They work well and cosmetically look much better than a raw hole in the wood. I tried the cable wrap and inserter and both make the job of wrapping and securing the cables much easier. Overall a good product and a good value.

Great for small projects. Nice fit.
I purchased this set while building a couple of end tables. They fit like a glove and it's really nice that they come with the hole saw bit. It's a great set for what you get.

Includes everything you need and a bonus to get the cord wrap
I bought this to route the cords up to the monitor on a height-adjustable desk. The top of the desk is an inch thick, and this was easy to drill through. To make sure I got a clean cut and did not damage the top, I put painters' tape on the area where I wanted to cut and drilled a small starter hole to get it exactly in the right spot. It cut a really clean hole from the top, and the plastic insert fit perfectly. Once I got the hole cut and the wires run where I wanted them, I put the cord wrap on. The tool that comes with the cord wrap is really slick and super easy to use. I was able to bundle together three cords that hang off the side of the desk. Given that the desk is adjustable, it was a nice bonus to get the cord manager with the kit, as it keeps the cords from getting hung up in the desk when adjusting it. I'm very happy with the purchase, great price.

Good product
The hole covers are great. As far as the hole cutting bit. Not so much. But still worth the price.
