A report presented to September's Ordinary Meeting of Council has highlighted the positive long-term financial feasibility of converting unused or underutilised Townsville City commercial buildings to apartments. Townsville City Council worked with the Property Council of Australia to carry out the report. Mayor Jenny Hill said this was one of the strategies Council is looking at to try and address the lack of housing in the city.

A scene from the "Black Rubber Shoes" movie released in 2022 (Saehan Production)A group of comics and cartoon artists raised concerns Thursday over the government's recent corrective order aimed at handling the 'Black Rubber Shoes' incident, saying that it lacks any power to hold the publisher responsible. The Artist Lee Yoo-young Incident Task Force said Thursday through a statement they 'welcome the corrective order as it confirms the ‘Black Rubber Shoes' contract was unfair.' However, the group is worried that the order lacks validity.

Blue morning glory, seen here close to the Cobham Bridge, can cover trees with a weedy blanket. Photo/ Supplied Opinion: It's been a great season for weeds in Whanganui, particularly the climbing ones which like to take over and smother trees and hedges. These climbers are like rust — they never sleep. And they have become increasingly prominent this summer in many of our backyards, parks and walkways. With many to choose from, I mention some of the more prominent culprits hoping that property owners will seek to recognise and remove them.

BIDI BIDI, Uganda — Watering the neat lines of green salad leaves outside her thatched home, Susan Konga, a South Sudanese woman living in a refugee camp in northern Uganda, is preparing her kitchen garden for the next harvest. This year the success of her tireless cultivation will be put to the test – complete self-sufficiency. Global crises like the war in Ukraine, the earthquake in Turkey and the drought in East Africa, mean there's less food aid for people like Konga. A 50% shortfall in funds this year has forced the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to cut off the food supply for hundreds of thousands of refugees in Uganda, whch hosts more than any other country in Africa.

With so many things going wrong for Labour over recent months, not to mention a tetchy public feeling the pain of high inflation and a wobbly economy, the most surprising takeaway from political polling had been the failure of National and its leader Christopher Luxon to capitalise fully on this as we headed towards the general election on October 14. Well, that might have changed. Most recent polls have indicated a tight race, but with National and Act just having enough support to form a government.

France said Monday that Japanese nationals are among the hundreds of evacuees transported out of Sudan aboard the French military aircraft, as fighting in the African nation has led to countries rushing to rescue their citizens from the violence. The French foreign and defense ministries said they evacuated a total of 388 people. But they have not announced the number of evacuees by nationality. In this image from video provided by the French Armed Forces, military personnel load belongings of evacuees onto a plane at the airport in Khartoum, Sudan, on April 23, 2023.
