"The logging industry is finding ways to get around the so-called ban."

"A loophole in the law banning Victoria's native timber harvesting means logging projects can still go ahead as the state government passes project approval responsibility to local councils."

"How could it be that a local council would have the expertise, the biological and ecological expertise, to approve logging in an area? When you log and regenerate an area of native forest … that same area of forest becomes much more flammable for a prolonged period of time," Professor Lindenmayer said. "I don't think that we should be adding that extra fire burden for rural and regional people to have to deal with."

Motion to drop racism definition panned as 'really bad look' at council
Ottawa city council waded into a brief but testy debate over the definitions of racism and colonialism on Wednesday, amid questions over whether a funding policy should specifically mention white people.

@peterjukes I've just come from a #Council meeting not directly associated with my #Politics but similar #community #communication #Issues. The '#Liberal #Left #Socialist ' wing is fragmented, Many #narcisstic #Officers . I always argued for one #media #office to speak for all. 'We' had the £'s pre #StopBrexit & after to fund an office & the talent to staff it. Now? No one single voice speaking #Truth to #Power @PeterStefanovic

The sector is plagued with scandals, from wage theft and conflicts of interest to excessive spending on marketing, travel, and consultants.

Alongside these scandals, Australia’s Vice-#Chancellors are some of the highest paid in the world.

The corporatisation on our tertiary sector threatens the very existence of our #Universities. These ‘bean counters’ have had their way for decades. It is time for the govt to mandate better educational and professional outcomes. Sack all #Council members, tighten up rules and regs, and start again with better reporting and more rigorous oversight than before.

#Colchester in #Essex is apparently 9th most surveilled area in the UK, according to counts of #Council #CCTV camera schemes..

I guess this is what comes of ignoring the long term effects of #ToxicMasculinity for 30 years (and also being a town with an active #military #barracks) - nearly 20 years ago a young lass told me how the city streets were a warzone at night due to angry men on 'roids and #cocaine

Gazette · Colchester revealed as 9th most surveilled area in the UKBy Halle Groves

Other than its falling apart and awkward to get in/out of (due to the one way system) I've not got a problem with the old maltings site in #Ipswich being used for a #carpark - but I think its a bit of a pisstake the #Council is essentially expecting motorists to be unpaid security guards by their presence (when it costs the same to park in as all the other Council car parks, and there are better ones just a few metres away!)
