One minute it is the lack of #nimby that allows #china to expand their #datacentres, the next they are suggesting China is influencing Australians to stop the expansion of #datacentres.
To suggest #nsw and their regional anti climate change industry i don’t think China needs to waste too much money on this. #insiders -

I've got a question about Australian customary units of measurement.
You've probably heard of very large volumes of water being measured in Sydney Harbours.
For example: 'Three times the amount of water in Sydney Harbour.'
My question is how much of the harbour are we including here?
Like, is Middle Harbour included in a Sydney Harbour of water?
What about the Lane Cove River?
Are we cutting it off at Goat Island? Or Cockatoo Island?
Or are we including the Parramatta River here?
If so, how far up? All the salt water bits?
In high tide? Or low tide?
Or are including the water past the weir at Parramatta Quay?
If so, are we measuring in regular conditions, or when the Parra River floods?
And how far up the river are we going?
Parramatta Lake is part of the same river system. Is Parra Lake included in a Sydney Harbour of water?
Inquiring minds need to know...

Preventing dog attacks through pet owner competencies - A licence for dogs owners
According to scientific studies, the problem with biting incidents lies not with the dogs themselves, but at the other end of the leash.
Stricter dog ownership laws are currently a major focus in New South Wales. Following a series of fatal dog attacks and coronial inquests, there are mounting recommendations to introduce mandatory dog licenses and specialised education for owners.

Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."
"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

‘It’s our kinship’: can #Australia learn to coexist with #dingoes?
As dingoes vanish from parts of Australia, a new documentary is calling on governments to move away from #eradication and towards solutions that benefit both #farmers and #animals
By Rosamund Brennan, 11 May 2026
Excerpt: "As Takau began looking into dingo laws, she says she found that policy was shaped largely by livestock interests, with little regard for #FirstNations cultural authority. 'There were no Aboriginal people having a say in this animal,' she says.
"In many parts of Australia, dingoes are grouped with 'wild dogs' under biosecurity laws and treated as pests or invasive animals, allowing – and in some places requiring – landholders to kill or exclude them to protect livestock.
"But Takau argues that framing ignores both their cultural significance and their ecological role. 'Dingoes keep Country healthy,' she says; they can control #overgrazing by animals like goats and #kangaroos, and reduce pressure from feral cats and foxes, which prey on #NativeWildlife.
"Through her advocacy, Takau met #AlixLivingstone, founder of #DefendTheWild, and the two began working to centre #Aboriginal voices in #DingoConservation. That work led west, through a #CulturalExchange that brought rangers from #Queensland and northern #NSW together with Aboriginal corporations on WA’s south coast to share dingo monitoring knowledge and cultural stories.
"The film and campaign grew out of that exchange. In February, Moort was screened at WA parliament, where custodians called on the state government to remove dingoes from pest classifications in biosecurity law and phase out 1080 baiting and #strychnine-laced foothold traps, which can cause prolonged, painful deaths.
"Livingstone says the campaign is not about pitting Aboriginal people against farmers but shifting support from killing programs to coexistence measures such as #BetterFencing, #GuardianAnimals and practical help for landholders. 'It’s about finding solutions for farmers that protect their interests but also maintain dingoes in the environment,' she says."

That work led west, through a #CulturalExchange that brought rangers from #Queensland and northern #NSW together with Aboriginal corporations on WA’s south coast to share dingo monitoring knowledge and cultural stories.
"The film and campaign grew out of that exchange. In February, Moort was screened at WA parliament, where custodians called on the state government to remove dingoes from pest classifications in biosecurity law and phase out 1080 baiting and #strychnine-laced foothold traps, which can cause prolonged, painful deaths.
"Livingstone says the campaign is not about pitting Aboriginal people against farmers but shifting support from killing programs to coexistence measures such as #BetterFencing, #GuardianAnimals and practical help for landholders. 'It’s about finding solutions for farmers that protect their interests but also maintain dingoes in the environment,' she says."
