🇬🇧 #RishiSunak has moved to prevent a #Tory rebellion over new onshore #WindFarms by making it easier for them to be approved

New rules will change #Council planning requirements from unanimous agreement to simply demonstrating local support

It follows an intervention by former ministers, including ex-Prime Minister #LizTruss, who felt progress was too slow

You can't actually tell from this terrible photo, that I took after he'd started, but this German tourist is PISSING on the flower bed I maintain, outside the unlawful STL, behind out tenement.

I don't even think he's staying there; the bloke of the couple who are came out with him and instructed him to piss there. The flat has a toilet.

I'd just like to thank all #Edinburgh #Councillors, and especially Senior #Council officers for supporting illegal #STLs & their #landlords, for this gift.

Council introduces laws to help protect endangered koalas from dogs

"Dog owners living in parts of the Gold Coast must now follow strict rules or face fines under tough laws designed to keep koalas safe...New laws in a Queensland city mean people who live in designated koala habitat area must prevent their dogs from attacking the animals, by providing a range of options so the marsupials can enter and escape."

"Each year, probably about 100 koalas get taken into animal hospitals … due to dog attacks, around about 75 per cent of them die — so it's a major issue."

"The proposed new laws have been designed to help protect koalas by ensuring dog owners in designated koala areas provide koala-friendly backyards"

I'm a Jew, living in #Germany and consider the "#Central #Council of #Jews" as bad and #Schuster as an #idiot. I'm a #Zionist. But I think #BDS is an understandable #response to #humanrightsviolations and the exercise of a #humanright by itself. #Humanrights are inalienable and indivisible. Even an #idiot such as #Schuster should be able to understand that. Nevertheless, #BDS is of course worthy of #criticism. Of course, I will not allow my #Haaretz or my #CheckPoint..

Why did it take until 2023 to declare "Milad El-Halabi was not duly elected as a councillor for Merri-bek City Council" and that "Mr El-Halabi benefited from ballot tampering"?

Very concerning!

Hi everyone. I started a #PETITION to end the use of FIREWORKS in #Brimbank. I have been in communication with council but it seems they are no longer responding...though the petition is already gaining support.

Whilst #fireworks may be pretty & enjoyed by some, they have negative impacts on people with #sensory conditions & #PTSD, our #environment & on both our companion animals & wildlife.
People can leave the area when given notice, however, there is usually insufficient notice provided. #Council will also advise we take counter measures for our companion #animals (which in most cases do not work), but we can do nothing to quash the harm that befalls our #wildlife as a consequence of their use, including their DEATH!

Can I please ask you all to SIGN & SHARE the PETITION with family & friends? The louder our voice, the better chance we have getting action on this issue - & yes it is an issue for as long as it has negative impacts.

I'm not calling for a total #ban - there are alternatives that can be used much more safely (& sustainably); such as drones & laser shows, & I actively encourage the transition.
It would be wonderful if we could end the harm coming to animals & #people in this area, who are traumatised ALL throughout December & again in January.

You do not need to be a Brimbank resident to support this petition!
Thank you for your support.

Bayer reaches $6.9 million settlement with New York over Roundup safety claims

"Pesticides can cause serious harm to the health of our environment, and pose a deadly threat to wildlife," and companies that make them must be "honest" with consumers about the dangers..."

"The settlement requires Bayer to stop advertising glyphosate-based Roundup as a safe and non-toxic product."

"The $6.9 million will be spent on reducing the impact of pesticides on pollinators and aquatic species."
