Frugal shoppers are stocking up on heavily discounted grocery items in bulk quantities not seen for years, filling their trolleys with six times the normal amount. The trend is driven by consumers looking to cut costs during tough economic times, as well as intense price competition among supermarkets. As major retailers close down, new discount stores are poised to expand and fill the gap, creating over 1,300 new jobs in Queensland within three years through new locations and aggressive growth.

Heather Doonan collects books from schools and libraries in Brisbane and ships them to remote areas in Papua New Guinea that lack educational resources. She has shipped over 1000 boxes of books this year alone through her nonprofit Books For PNG Kids. Doonan started the program over 20 years ago after discovering many children in PNG had no books, and it has grown from a small hobby into a major operation. She hopes to continue educating PNG children and getting more books to remote areas.
The document discusses how high heel wearing habits are changing. It notes that many female workers are choosing mid-heels over skyscraper heels for the office in order to look professional while also being more comfortable. A shoe expert says lower heels are becoming more popular worldwide. The document also discusses how sales of organic meat have increased as shoppers seek ethical options after footage showed cruel treatment of Australian cattle in Indonesian slaughterhouses. Butchers have been fielding many questions about the source and treatment of their meat.
The document discusses the high level of biosecurity at a secretive lab that studies deadly viruses. Scientists at the lab work daily with a virus that could potentially kill millions. The lab has strict safety protocols, including multiple security checkpoints, airlock doors to seal sections, and requirements that nothing leaves and no one exits without sterilization and decontamination. The article notes that the team researching the viruses is nicknamed the "Bat Pack" and works toward developing vaccines and early warning systems for viruses like Hendra virus that can infect horses and humans.
Scientists working on a Hendra virus vaccine have urged drug regulators to fast-track approval of the vaccine due to the current outbreak being the worst on record. While the virus has so far only spread from bats to horses to humans, the researchers are preparing for the possibility it could mutate and spread directly from bats to humans or between humans, as another similar virus has done. Their vaccine research aims to develop a formulation that could protect against Hendra virus and potentially related viruses. The researchers met with regulators last week to discuss expediting the approval process, as animal trials have shown the vaccine to be effective.
Norway massacre face of evil. The document is a newspaper article that discusses the 2011 Norway attacks and Anders Behring Breivik, the man responsible for the terrorist attacks that killed 77 people. The attacks included a bomb in Oslo and a shooting at a youth camp. Breivik has been described as the "face of evil" for committing such violent acts.
Three horses on separate properties in southeast Queensland were confirmed dead from Hendra virus in late June 2011. A timeline shows that a vet first euthanized a horse at a property near Brisbane on June 20th believing it had colic. This was followed by another sick horse at a separate property that was taken to a third property where it died. Blood tests later confirmed the horse had Hendra virus. Additional horses then became sick and were euthanized at the first property, with blood tests confirming Hendra virus in those cases as well. People exposed at the various properties were monitored with blood tests.
Rally calls for animal export ban
Almost 100 people rallied in Ipswich to demand an end to live animal exports to Indonesia due to graphic footage showing cruel treatment of exported cattle. Animal welfare workers promise larger protests in capital cities on June 18. Some beef producers and abattoir owners have joined calls to pressure the government to halt all live animal exports.
This document summarizes recent research findings on the increasing wealth and living standards of the average Australian household. It finds that multiple computers, internet access, game consoles, and plasma TVs are now standard. It also notes that Australian families now typically have enough bedrooms so children don't have to share, and can afford household help like cleaners and gardeners. The increasing expectations of comfort and technology are driving these changes in what is considered normal or average in Australian homes according to the researcher.
Alicia Gali, a woman from Queensland, Australia, is suing the Commonwealth of Australia. She claims that after being drugged and raped at the resort in Dubai where she worked, a consular officer failed to warn her that by reporting the rape to local police, she could face imprisonment under Dubai's laws. Gali is also suing the resort, claiming she was raped by three co-workers. She contacted the consular officer for advice after the incident and says she was not told her complaint could lead to her being jailed for adultery.
The strong Australian dollar is negatively impacting several industries. Tourism operators are seeing fewer international visitors as the strong dollar makes Australia a more expensive destination. International students are also being affected as their scholarships and budgets do not stretch as far with the higher cost of living. Manufacturers that export most of their products are also struggling with less competitive prices in overseas markets due to the increased value of the Australian dollar. Unless the dollar declines significantly, some industries may have to permanently restructure operations to remain viable.
The Australian dollar has reached parity with the US dollar and may reach $1.50, but this is hurting some Queensland industries. Tourism operators are struggling with fewer overseas visitors and more Australians traveling abroad. The strong dollar is also hurting manufacturers and other exporters. Some experts say the high dollar may persist for years due to Australia's strong economy and demand for commodities. The closure of Couran Cove Island Resort demonstrates the toll the high dollar is taking on tourism.
The document discusses issues with the Building Services Authority (BSA) in Queensland, which handles disputes between homeowners and builders. It notes that there were over 5,600 complaints lodged with the BSA last year, with 80% of claims accepted. However, homeowners say the disputes process is complex, lengthy and costly. A review found the system needs to be overhauled to resolve disputes faster and hold subcontractors accountable for defective work. Builders are also frustrated as current rules prevent them from taking action against clients who do not pay.
This document summarizes a dispute between a family and the Building Services Authority (BSA) regarding defective bamboo flooring installed in the family's newly constructed home. The flooring buckled severely, preventing the family from moving in. While the BSA initially found in the family's favor, requiring the floors be replaced, the BSA later reversed its decision without informing the family. The family has spent $30,000 fighting the case so far and repairs are estimated to cost over $100,000. Brisbane's Lord Mayor criticized the BSA for being "bogged down with red tape" and failing to properly handle building disputes.
Facial recognition software uses algorithms to analyze facial features and produce unique "face prints" that can identify individuals. The article discusses how this technology is being used by retailers to collect customer demographic data like gender, age, and mood without directly recording images. It notes foreign criminals have been found with "target lists" of Australian scam victims compiled using personal data purchased from marketing companies.
1. Authorities in Queensland, Australia are planning to trial a sophisticated public surveillance network using facial recognition technology connected to CCTV cameras to identify persons of interest and help fight crime.
2. Researchers will seek access to police databases including images of offenders to test the system. Privacy concerns have been raised about future use of data.
3. An early trial phase is planned for late this year at Ipswich's surveillance center which monitors 200 cameras. Researchers say facial recognition technology has advanced and may now be useful for law enforcement.
A Queensland couple spends $20,000 per year on their diet of 30 bananas per day. They previously spent $40 per week but wild weather has increased banana prices, now costing them $600 per week. If they maintained this diet for a whole year at current prices, it would cost over $30,000 and require consuming almost 2400kg of bananas. A nutritionist warns their high-fibre diet could cause diarrhea for many people.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
