Eight containers of trash - weighing some 210 tonnes - left Indonesia's second-biggest city Surabaya on Monday aboard a cargo ship bound for Singapore, the local customs agency said on Tuesday.
Plastic trash collected by scavengers at a garbage dump site area in Lhokseumawe, Aceh province, Indonesia.Last month, Indonesia said it would return the Australian rubbish after authorities found hazardous material and household trash, including used diapers and electronic waste, in containers meant to only hold waste paper.
Batam authorities were also preparing to return another 42 containers of waste, including shipments from the United States, Australia and Germany.

SBS Fair enough, too! Why do we have kerbside recycling if we’re not recycling it Let the moths out of the federal wallet, redirect those unearned political pay rises & get major recycling infrastructure up & running in every state & territory, on & off shore. It’s our waste!
What I thought they would be grateful in accepting that garbage. Guess Indonesia needs some democracy.
But wait I thought ScottMorrisonMP banned it first auspol
We can now stop shipping them foreign aid.
Fair enough- each country should have a system in place to deal with the waste it generates. Its past time we looked at our over consumption, excess packaging and a inadequate waste management system. plasticfree recycle
western countries should stop pretending they are so civilized.... they abuse developing nations , pollute the shit out of them with their factories and garbage but pretend to be so developed and continue to teach everyone how to live with their stupid 'bringing democracy' crap

It's hard to fathom Australia's recklessness while our homes are disappearingHere in the Pacific, the Australian Government's recklessness in the face of the climate crisis — in full knowledge of its implications for our people — is hard to fathom. I'd like to see some empirical evidence of this outrageous horseshit you're passing off as truth, that doesn't involve fudged raw climate data and computer models. statesponsoredpropaganda AGWscam More contrived climate change hysteria from ABC. Australia is responsible for about 1% of global emissions. PMScottMorrison doesn't believe there is such a thing as Climate Change. He believes this change to the climate is part of the natural procession of the Earth taking 25,000years. If he is right, we are all part, not just Island homes. Either way, assistance should come.

Infrastructure advisory body says roads and transport must 'catch up'Infrastructure Australia says services are coming under unprecedented pressure and the current boom in construction projects needs to become the new normal to keep pace with population growth and changing consumer demands. $137 million and rising, no cap, new bridge at Windsor smashing through the heritage precinct of Thompson Square, archaeology blow-out, massive footprint, 3 lanes replace 2 with no improvement to traffic.

The end of the suburban sprawlInfrastructure Australia has declared the end of the suburban sprawl across Australia's east coast and warned the biggest challenge facing government will be providing enough inner-city services to cope with the surging population. Population control, FFS! decentralisation won't work. No jobs, no transport, no internet bla bla bla... It's too late as bloody usual. Gov might wake up when the people that keep the place running can't afford housing in the big cities. Surging population? Control/Stop immigration. Job done.
