Maybe they should have offered a box of classy French wines and some bottles of champagne with each submarine delivered.

This will spark a war between Frenchies and Ozzies. The Ozzie navy will then use their fancy new 'Merican nukeyoolar subs to clobber those old fashioned diesel-electric Frenchie subs.

That was a weird one, involving our very militant construction workers. A sub-set of their union, plus agitators from previous anti-lockdown, anti-tax protests were violently objecting to their union boss (John Setka) agreeing with the state government's proposal of no jab, no work in the construction industry. The irony is that, in the past, Setka has been one of the most violent and thuggish union leaders we've had for many years (and I'm saying that as someone who is pro-union in almost all circumstances). They blockaded the union office and hurled stones at union officials, including Setka... ;)

Previously, they had had large protests in the city when they were banned from eating and drinking in their precious "tea-rooms" - this, in a context where they have been able to work and earn money when many others could not.

Well, they've shot themselves in the foot big time - the state labour government lost patience with the industry and the union, and all construction sites are now shut down for 2 weeks...
The Victorian government will forcibly shut down all construction sites in metropolitan Melbourne and all other locked down local government areas in response to violent protests on Monday.

The Andrews government engaged in crisis talks on Monday night with the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), following the heated brawls outside the union's Elizabeth Street offices in Melbourne's CBD.

Protesters rallied against the Victorian government mandate requiring all construction workers to have at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose by September 23.

Cane toad tadpole lure to launch as toxic pests' breeding season heats up
Researchers discovered that tadpoles were able to detect cane toad eggs in the same body of water and seek them out and eat them.

Using a similar pheromone found in the parotid gland of the adult toads, researchers were able to lure tadpoles into the traps by coating a sugar cube-sized airstone in the chemical.

Importantly, the lure does not attract other species, like native frogs.

The lure is placed in a specially designed box that allows the tadpoles to enter through funnels on either side and get trapped inside the box.

"So you're actually using the cane toad's own toxicity against itself," Ms Vincent said.

Tadpole breeding season tends to be when the weather is warm and wet and a female can lay up to 35,000 eggs one clutch and can lay two clutches a year.

.....

The single-use lure works in a matter of hours, attracting hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tadpoles.

The traps can be placed in the shallow edges of waterways, where tadpoles swim and search for food.

"The largest stats for catching is over 40,000 tadpoles in a single trap," Professor Capon said.
