| Call it a rare moment in the spotlight for Australian morning television. On Sunday’s “Insiders,” the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s political editor, Chris Uhlmann, filed a segment that resonated globally. | |
| Reporting from the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany, Mr. Uhlmann delivered a scathing critique of President Trump’s performance at the meeting and in his time in office to date. | Reporting from the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany, Mr. Uhlmann delivered a scathing critique of President Trump’s performance at the meeting and in his time in office to date. |

| A soon-to-open Melbourne cafe is resisting waste in hospitality with a simple idea: the Emergency Mug Wall. | |
| Locals from the suburb of Brunswick responded to a call-out from the cafe, Handsome Her, donating their spare mugs to a drop-off spot at the back entrance. | |
| The owner, Alex O’Brien, has worked in cafes for years. “One thing that gets to me is how much waste we make,” she said. | |
| No disposable cups will be offered when Handsome Her opens at the start of August. Instead, two espresso bars will be built into the cafe, where people are encouraged to stay and drink coffee at a discount. | |
| Are takeaway cups really that bad? | |
| Earlier this year, the comedian Craig Reucassel drove a tram around Melbourne that was stuffed to the windows with 50,000 coffee cups — the amount he claimed Melburnians send straight to the landfill every 30 minutes. | |
| His three-part television series, “The War on Waste,” which appeared on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in May, estimated that Australians use close to a billion takeaway cups a year, most of which can’t be recycled because of a plastic lining inside the cup. | |
| One coffee shop in Perth has also banned takeaway cups. It keeps a tally of the disposable cups it’s avoided sending to landfills, counting 70,000 saved in one year. |
