"Governments announce full details of $102.5m algal bloom"

i thought they were creating an algal bloom, reading that title.

reading the article, there seems to be some unusual concepts like "AI powered submersible cytobots", "clay and gyroid absorbent sponge technology" as well as some odd policies like a tourism package and life saving patrols inspecting the water.

lot of focus about new things, with no mention of reducing pollution and climate change. is that not an option? is it just not mentioned?

are these new measures better than reducing pollution and climate change, or is it just politics like "carbon capture and storage"?

what's with this anti protest stuff lately? why aren't there rallies held to protest about that? seems like a very pressing issue.

in brisbane not long ago, there was a protest planned at a bridge. police went to court over it, the protestors lost and were banned from the bridge. But the protest went ahead anyway by a last minute route change to a different bridge

ACU registered nearly 6,000 cases of alleged academic misconduct across its nine campuses in 2024, according to internal documents seen by the ABC. About 90 per cent of those referrals related to AI use.

In a statement, deputy vice-chancellor Tania Broadley told the ABC those figures were "substantially overstated".>

90%, that's a pretty big number!

my guess is because it's the next state election in australia (march 2026)? can't think of another reason for them to choose SA in particular

queing in an absurdly long line for something is quite common in inner city cbds. always fun to see
