There used to be brothel tours of Langtrees Kalgoorlie, I gifted my sister a tour back when being edgy wasn't ogre,. It had some awesome merchandise in it like a signed on each half split wicket from the tied test match between Aus and India, a boxing glove with five of the top heavyweight boxers (Mohamed Ali was one of them and evidently it was quite rare for him to sign mech) and other crazy stuff.

I don't remember any kids there but it would have been unremarkable for a baby to be with one of adults on the tour, it looked pretty much like any tour group you would see in Rome down to the retired rich as gently caress American retired lawyer and his wife we befriended on the tour.

And you thought your sharehouse was bad

Council 'jumped the gun' in evacuating 40 seasonal workers from Shearwater property, owner says


The company that owns a Tasmanian property from which 40 seasonal workers were evacuated has denied the property poses any risk to life.

The Latrobe Council issued an emergency order to vacate 30 Arthur Street, Shearwater last Friday, alleging there was a "significant and obvious risk" to the health and safety of dozens of seasonal workers living there.

The council has alleged 43 people, including 40 seasonal workers from Vanuatu, were being accommodated at the property.

All have since been offered alternative accommodation.

Simon Baldock, the director of Insight Tas Pty Ltd which owns the house, said he "empathically denied" the council's claim that it was appropriate for an emergency order to be issued.

"It will be alleged by us that there is no evidence of a threat to life," Mr Baldock said in a statement.

"We assert that the council has, once again, without any warning or dialogue, jumped the gun and shot first and with no intention of even asking questions of us."

About 70 people were found living in the same property in 2020, also resulting in an emergency order being issued.

"As a residential tenancy, the house was built to standards approved by the Council as late as 2006 and was being lawfully occupied by our tenants to the standards required of a residence of its size," Mr Baldock said, adding the house was "no different to a large share house".

"The tenants who lived in the house are effectively one big family," he said.

"They are all known to one another, they work as a team and have all made the journey to Tasmania choosing and wanting to live together.

"The damage from the targeted action of the council in excluding non-family persons from living there is made worse by the hurt inflicted on the Pacific workers who had every right to enjoy their home and who now have been dispossessed."

Mr Baldock's company has appealed the evacuation order to Tasmania's Civil and Administrative Appeals Tribunal (TASCAT).

His lawyer Glynn Williams said their main argument would be around building classification.

"The basis for the emergency order is that there was an aggregation of people there that weren't related, so it becomes an argument about building classification," Mr Williams said.

"The owner's position is quite clear, that as residential tenants of the property and from a large kinship group from Vanuatu, they're not only familiar with one another, but they're effectively one large household, so the appeal will be about and testing building classification."

Mayor takes aim at federal government's 'maladministration' of scheme
Latrobe Mayor Peter Freshney said inspections of the Shearwater property were carried out due to community concerns.

He said because of legal proceedings he could not comment specifically on what issues were identified, but some did relate to fire safety.

"Given those reports and advice, the general manager had no option but to issue an emergency order to evacuate the building housing seasonal workers," he said.

Ahh yes, perfectly reasonable to have 43 people living in one residential house, I mean it has so much more room after 27 other people moved out.

I bet they were being charged $200 a week to live there as well

Water storage dams, hydro dams, and flood control dams, all have very different use profiles.

Water storage: retain water for as long as possible, release only as water is used. Draw water from the depth of the dam that has the best quality (varies).
Hydro: release water as electricity is required, often significant amounts. You also want a significant “head”, or difference between top and bottom, to maximise potential energy of the stored water.
Flood control: keep the dam as empty as possible so it can hold water during a flood.

So for water storage you can put mini hydro generators on to generate as water is released for use, but you don’t get much power and the cost/maintenance may outweigh the benefit.

Correct, when "no cops at pride" is itself a contentious opinion within the LGBTQ community, it shouldn't be one of their straight allies who decides to protest by jumping in front of a float and disrupting the parade.

i'm not objecting to the protest, but it could have very obviously been executed better, & her as a straight cis woman unilaterally making herself the face of 'no cops in pride' (which is the correct position) makes it much messier

She needed to put 10 more points into QUR instead of investing everything in BLK and STR. If she had enough of the right skill points she could turn into a little ramp and make the cops do a kickflip

its only contentious among the wealthy board of directors because it impacts event sponsors and even there its a hotly debated topic. I dont appreciate you erasing the very real community opinions that call for it every year and are shot down

There's definitely flags to look at when someone is criticised for not protesting "properly" but yeah it probably is fair to criticise when the person involved is a straight politician currently trying to carve out her own independent political identity.
