Back in the 70's we had a group chain themselves to hoardings near a nuclear sub in Port Melbourne.
Nice sunny day it was too.
So we watered them, and fed them, and watered them some more.
Then watched, waited and had a laugh.

Tourist cops $2300 fine for ‘brazen’ act on Fraser Island
A 23-year-old man was snapped by a bystander and dobbed into a ranger for performing an illegal act on a popular Aussie island.

A tourist has learned a very expensive lesson after he was fined for feeding biscuits to a dingo.

The 23-year-old Australian man was waiting in line for a ferry on the island of Fraser Island, 250km north of Brisbane, when a bystander photographed him brazenly feeding the wild dog – known as Dingo in the local Indigenous dialect.

The incident took place in April, however following an investigation from the Queensland’s Department of Environment and Sciences (DES), the man was fined $2300 this week.

“A member of the public told rangers the man was at the front of the vehicle line while he was waiting for the ferry at Hook Point back in April,” DES compliance manager Mike Devery said in a statement.

And another customer data information hack. Medibank this time.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-20/medibank-cyber-attack-hack-stolen-data/101557122

Quote
In a statement, the company said the criminal group allegedly responsible had claimed that 200 gigabytes of data had been stolen and that it would be reaching out to affected customers to let them know and what to do next.

Quote
"That data includes first names and surnames, addresses, dates of birth, Medicare numbers, policy numbers, phone numbers and some claims data."

It said the claims data involved where the medical service was and the codes that related to their diagnosis and procedures.

This is the sort of stuff that inspired those old English comedy series' Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister. If they brought them back today they could run them as reality shows.

Given fuel costs are directly related to the weight aircraft are lifting I dunno why passenger airlines aren't charging by the kilo including your luggage-

Never had a problem with this as long as they get the added increase in space to accomodate the larger taller person as well.

https://www.theage.com.au/culture/celebrity/jerry-lee-lewis-outrageous-rock-n-roll-star-dies-at-87-20221029-p5bty7.html

Jerry Lee Lewis, the untamable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer whose outrageous talent, energy and ego collided on such definitive records as Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On and sustained a career otherwise upended by personal scandal, has died at the age of 87.

I thought this was the same mistaken report, from 2 days ago.

The news came two days after the publication of an erroneous report of his death, which was later retracted.


Lewis passed away at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, with his wife, Judith, by his side, a statement from his publicist said. He had been ill in recent years and suffered a stroke in 2019.
