Seasons that challenge traditional harvest and growing conditions are becoming the new normal for some Queenslanders struggling with changing circumstances, although the occasional farmer is getting lucky.

Mr Albert said this harvest had been "a tough one".

Co-founder Jason Kinsella said that, unlike some other regions, the rain had come at the right time in the right amount for his vineyard near Murgon in the South Burnett region. "So the ripening of the grapes is much slower, and the slower the ripening period, the acid remains high — which is what we want for the winemaking process — and the flavour is retained.It has been far from the best season for sugar cane growers in the Childers region, who finally finished what might be the longest crush in their 128-year history on January 9.

"This has been a season filled with many challenges, mostly out of our control, and I guess probably a season for the history books," he said.

‘Zoomers’ want Sky News Australia ‘cancelled’ over Australia Day TikTokSky News host Paul Murray says “zoomers” appeared to hate Sky News Australia’s TikTok, slamming Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe’s Australia Day tweet, where she questioned who would be celebrating “invasion, murder and theft”. He said these people want Sky News Australia “cancelled”. “A website run by a bunch of middle-aged people pretending to be young, Pedestrian TV, decided to show the hate towards the one about Australia Day, in part because it was made by us here at Sky News,” he said. Becuase tik tok isn't your platform. You appeal to the older generation. Tik tok is for younger members of society, with totally different views to yours. Not sure why this is head scratching. You wouldn't like the place Paul, people are able to clap back at nonsense and the median age isn't 60 🙂 Low ratings don’t mean you’re cancelled. It’s just you put out a crap show.
