![]() They were also served slivers of edible paper, shots of vinegar, swirls of sauce injected with “meat droplets” by the waiter, a dish called “frozen air” and another called “rancid ricotta balls”. The group were in for a staggering 27-course meal they would never, ever forget, but not in the way you’d hope after dining at a posh restaurant.Īmong the courses was a plaster of the chef’s own mouth, filled with orange foam and served without cutlery, so they had to use their own mouth to eat it. Upon their arrival, DeRuiter tried not to dwell on the dining room, which she described rather specifically as the sort of place where “where one would expect to be interrogated for the disappearance of an ambassador’s child”. Travel writer Geraldine DeRuiter was preparing for a dreamy evening - a dinner with friends at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Italy. The Noongar Boodjar plant and animal encyclopaedia collates ancestral ecological and cultural knowledge about plants and animals in Noongar Nation, with a hope that it will preserve Indigenous language in the area. Meanwhile, for the first time ever, a publicly available online tool will collate Indigenous knowledge and western science to help conservation efforts, The Advocatereports. More than 8.3 million homes and businesses are connected to the NBN network. It comes as the NBN Co became the latest behemoth to go green, The New Dailyreports, with plans to use 100% renewable electricity by 2025. ![]() Among them, leaders from Carsales, Seven West Media, IAG, Mirvac, and Macquarie Group. Up to a third of the 60 chief executives driving Australia’s business called for stronger climate plans - urging policy that will turn us into a global clean-energy superpower, pivot us towards electric vehicles, and see more carbon capture and storage for heavy industry. GREEN IS THE COLOURĬlimate change action and jobs have topped the list of federal election hopes from Australia’s most powerful private sector leaders, the AFR reports. AMA’s boss Omar Khorshid reckons that the third shot will become the norm - he told the SMH that sometime soon, people may not be considered “fully vaccinated” unless they have received that third jab just like in Israel, where a third dose was mandated in October. Indeed last week Pfizer said a third dose of its vaccine increased antibodies against Omicron a staggering 25-fold, compared with two doses, The Wall Street Journal reports. The shortened timeframe comes as early reports from Britain suggest our vaccine immunity against Omicron is lower than for earlier variant Delta, as The New York Times explains. That means folks can get either Pfizer’s or Moderna’s booster as their third shot - it doesn’t matter which vaccine you had prior to this one. Health secretary Brendan Murphy also said ATAGI had approved the Moderna booster for people aged 18 and over, as The New Daily says. It means by the last day of the year, around four times as many people will be ready for their booster. The government has reduced the wait time for getting your COVID vaccine booster to five months, from the previous wait time of six months, the SMH reports. The sunshine state’s top cop said IT staff are on standby but warned the process would be “clunky”.

It comes as Queensland threw open their doors this morning, The Australian ($) reports, ending a five-month lockout of people in NSW and Victoria. Yesterday Western Australians would’ve seen a new government push for getting a third jab - interestingly, the booster ad included Perth captain Ashton Turner, even though WA’s summer of cricket was ruined by the government’s border stance, as Yahoo reported. New pressures to get vaccinated are popping up nearly weekly, however - WA’s AMA confirmed unvaccinated people are “not a priority” on their organ transplant list, The West ($) reports. ![]() Also, The West continues, just 43% of the Indigenous population has been double-vaxxed, a dismal figure. So why wait? Could be a few reasons: WA health modelling showed about 200 fewer people would die, and McGowan has said before he didn’t want venue limits and mask rules in place over Christmas. Of course, the national roadmap said open when you reach 80%, but The West forecasts WA’s reopening date as “seven or eight weeks away”. ![]() WA Premier Mark McGowan is this morning meeting with his Emergency Management Team to work out the reopening plan, which won’t take place until the 90% vaccination threshold is met, as 7News reports (the state has just reached 80%). The country’s most closed off state will today announce when it’ll finally open its borders, WA Today reports, after almost two years sealed in. ![]()
