Data released today by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) revealed that 71% (162) of wildlife caught in the last shark net season were threatened or protected* species, and 76% (123) of these animals were killed. Additionally, 16 Critically Endangered grey nurse sharks were caught, with two found dead and 14 released. This is a serious blow to this fragile species, whose survival is not guaranteed after hours spent stressed in nets. A staggering 89% (204) of marine animals caught in NSW shark nets during the 2022-2023 season were non-target species such as turtles, rays, dolphins and smaller sharks.

A Taiwanese mother and her young daughter suddenly disappear without a trace in the  Yuan Lin Financial Building in Zhanghua, Taiwan. After a decade, there have been no leads. The following case was recently brought to my attention. It has an eerie similarity to the Elisa Lam disappearance and death investigation in Los Angeles, CA: "There seems to be not a lot of material on this one. I was able to find an English source and a Vietnamese source. However, the English source took its information from another Vietnamese source so we effectively only have Vietnamese sources.

A federally funded study, led by University of Cincinnati clinical psychologist and researcher Sarah Whitton, PhD, looks to identify mental health risks and protective factors for sexual minority women (SMW). The study participants are a racially diverse cohort of nearly 400 sexual minority women (including those who identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer or another non-heterosexual identity) ages 21-26, called FAB400, who participated in a prior study led by the researcher. Alarmingly, Whitton says that she and her research team - which includes UC graduate students - found that young sexual minority women had extremely high rates of depression, anxiety and other mental health issues - even more so than young sexual minority men.

Reeling from a public furor over its inability to issue proper drivers' licenses, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) announced on Friday that it would extend the validity of driver's licenses expiring from April 24 to October 31 and waive all penalties arising from late renewal. 'Many of our countrymen have already spoken,' Assistant Secretary Jose Arturo Tugade, head of the LTO, said in a video message sent to the media. He was referring to mounting criticism that the government has again run out of plastic cards for licenses, a problem that has persisted since the issue first emerged eight years ago, or in 2015.
