Researchers are working to come up with a non-lethal solution to curb dingo attacks on Queensland’s Fraser Island, after a spate of recent attacks.

Experts believe a repellent likened to bear spray could be the answer, but they’re also considering shock collars and water pistols loaded with lemon or

onion juice as options for a trial. The push comes after an attack on a young boy and his mother on Queensland's Fraser Island last week. Image: News Corp Australia

Andrew Bolt: Online activism has been reduced to ‘shouting people down’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says anonymous far-left activist group Sleeping Giants refuses to engage in debate, resorting to ‘shouting people down’ and ‘trying to silence them’.\n\nResearch conducted by Sky News in February on the most active participants in the advertiser boycott campaign found that a single user was responsible for 43 per cent of the activity, and eight out of the ten most engaged accounts were anonymous. \n\nSome brands have succumbed to the online campaign by withdrawing their advertising from Mr Bolt’s program, including private health fund NIB. Mr Bolt shared correspondence from a viewer who explained that those supporting free speech ‘can be an activist too’, and closed their NIB account in response to the company's decision.\n\nMr Bolt shares his ongoing experience with the group and its attempts to silence him and other free speech supporters by targeting advertisers.\n\n\n\n If thats what rupert wants... Always the tolerant ones. 'far-left' 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🙃

Jackie Trad sending 'half a message' with re-skill push | Sky News AustraliaQueensland's Deputy Premier Jackie Trad says those in the coal industry should look to 're-skill' for future jobs amid a global coal backlash.\n\nMs Trad told state parliament on Tuesday that it was time to help thermal coal-dependent communities move away from the industry amid a decline in demand.\n\nThe Courier Mail's National Political Editor Renee Viellaris told Sky News that 'there isn't these swathe of jobs opportunities in Central Queensland' for workers to turn to should they look to 're-skill'.\n\nMs Viellaris added that Ms Trad was sending 'half a message' and the Labor Treasurer needed to clarify the areas she expected workers to develop new skills in. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n These idiots don't get it. Soon the worldwide population will demand the closure of coal mines. Get on the right side of history, support and retrain your work force or just keep sticking your head in the sand. Like it or not the world is changing. Tradjic is as big a fruit cake as the other one who appears to be hiding from someone. If Ian Macfarlane and the LNP (the party not the taxpayer) wants to foot the bill if his prediction is wrong then by all means. In reality its likely that continued advances in technology will make thermal coal increasingly unattractive.
