A new report as shown how Armidale in NSW could provide a roadmap of how to successfully resettle refugees in Australia.

The regional NSW city of Armidale may not seem like the obvious location to find a Yazidi pop-up restaurant.

The pop-up restaurant is just one reason Armidale, a city of around 25,000 people, is being held up as a"champion" of regional refugee resettlement. In addition to the pop-up restaurant, other initiatives that were spearheaded by SSI included arts and sports programs with the new arrivals and residents, along with fostering volunteering among locals.

The"whole-of-community" initiatives were also credited with leading to "an extraordinarily high retention rate" of new arrivals.Settlement Services International

New twist as woman charged over alleged $25m WA public sector fraudA 45-year-old Perth woman becomes the third person to be charged over an alleged multi-million-dollar corruption scandal that has reached the highest levels of WA's Department of Communities. PM Morrison you should consider introducing Robo debt from public servants, politicians and so on. It won’t be few hundred here and there, it would be millions here and there. All those millions they stole from taxpayers could equal to trillions of dollars back to treasury.

Yang Hengjun detention in China 'unacceptable' | Sky News AustraliaForeign Minister Marise Payne says she is 'very concerned' over the treatment of an Australian citizen, who remains held in detention in China. \n\nYang Hengjun, who became an Australian citizen in 2002, was arrested in August on suspicion of espionage, seven months after he was originally detained.\n\nLawyers for Dr Yang said he has been isolated, subjected to daily interrogations and cut off from family and legal representation.\n\nThe Australian government said the conditions of his detention are 'unacceptable' and the foreign minister said she has made “repeated requests to the Chinese authorities for an explanation of the charges against Dr Yang”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia She doesn't seem at all concerned about Assange, an Australian citizen who remains in detention in the UK, under much worse circumstances than the Chinese national she aims to use as a political pawn against China in same way she used law breaking Aust travellers to aim at Iran.

Council proposes 'bizarre' local laws which would ban motorbike riding on SundaysResidents are left flabbergasted as a regional Victorian council wants to pass laws restricting residents from riding motorbikes on rural properties. Please include that this isn't on public roads. How come the most stupid people in the community can get onto the council and the intelligent ones don’t even bother Hang on. Given commercial application is exempt (as farms are) the rule would only apply to people riding motorcycles for *recreational* purposes before 7am. Why is that a problem? City people might think it is, those who enjoy utter silence until the birds sing don't.
