Strahan is one of Tasmania's 'top towns to visit'' but the site of Australia's worst whale stranding is now littered with rotting carcasses, reducing some visitors to tears.

Residents of a tourist town near the site of Australia's worst mass whale stranding say the decomposing carcasses are ruining one of the area's most popular attractions.

"If you just wanted to come and take some photos of the sunset or go for a long walk to clear your mind, that's [Ocean Beach] the place you go," she said. "Ocean Beach is the longest sand beach in Tassie and it's part of the natural beauty of Strahan so having dead whales as a backdrop to it isn't a good look," he said.

"The Government is giving money to people to travel the state and Strahan is one of the top towns to visit, but we can't send people to see dead whales," she said. "The removal of whales from Macquarie Harbour and on Ocean Beach closest to the township of Strahan was prioritised and completed," it said.

New normal for Victoria will involve 'hundreds, not millions, in lockdown'A leading epidemiologist says Victoria will soon be able to control the coronavirus by placing 'rings of steel' around discrete outbreaks rather than using a blanket city lockdown. Because the people of Victoria kick ******** arse. But Dutton has now let 17 NZers into Victoria and apparently lost them. They could have picked up Covid in Sydney on their way through a farcical border 'system' Please pat the leading epidemiologist on the back and wheel back inside the lab. The last thing we need is more Stalin steel rhetoric.

WHO says trial shows remdesivir does not help COVID-19 patientsA large study led by the World Health Organization suggests the antiviral drug remdesivir did not help hospitalised COVID-19 patients, in contrast to an earlier study that made the medicine a standard of care in the United States and many other countries. I trust the WHO about as much as I trust the ABC Who says human to human transmission isn't possible..... The who also said international borders closures werent needed & the CCP plague wasnt human to human transmissible . Lets rely on the WHO

‘Biden family corruption’ story censored by tech giants shows they are ‘not neutral’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host James Morrow says the shocking part of the Biden scandal story is the way which tech giants reacted to the news, in a manner contrary to their claims of being “neutral platforms”.\n\nIt comes as the New York Post released an expose detailing links between Joe Biden and his son who was paid at least $50,000 a month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian energy company who allegedly set up a meeting with the Vice President.\n\nFacebook and Twitter both censored the article, advising they are limiting the distribution of the story on their platforms until a third-party contractor can 'fact check' the article.\n\n“It’s scandalous behaviour given not only the number of people who get their news via social media but also the stories they have allowed in the past to go through unchecked,” Mr Morrow said.\n\n“Twitter and Facebook never warned anyone about sharing stories about Trump’s tax returns, even though unauthorised sharing of personal tax data is a big violation of US federal law.\n\n“Now that we have clear evidence plain as day of Biden family corruption less than 500 hours away from a hotly contested US election, Twitter and Facebook want to be the final arbiters of truth and decide what you are and are not entitled to say.\n\n“It’s not good enough and it puts the lie to claims that these tech giants are just natural platforms.”\n pwafork God forbid they fact check it... Why would they let the facts get in the way.... pwafork A bit like News Corp. pwafork Are you a neutral platform?

Maguire agrees Premier 'did not want to know' some details of dealingsDisgraced former Liberal MP Daryl Maguire said he regularly refrained from telling Premier Gladys Berejiklian 'too much detail' about his business dealings | LucyCormack LucyCormack Gladys knew LucyCormack Its extraordinary that she ignored all the warning signs that would normally give cause for concern.. deliberately turning a blind eye is wilful ignorance. This is not an attribute that is befitting of a Premier. LucyCormack Because she didn't want it done over the phone but only in private when they were together? She's not stupid but he is. He is such a very stupid clodhopping politician.
