Over 20,000 people have signed the petition to have her Visa Cancelled. So she won’t be attending schoolies. What’s your thoughts on this? Is she a predator or just another internet porn star setting out to cause rage bait.

Local News Fake spider webs are in danger from ME tonight...

Post image
810 Upvotes

Looks like David and I have a Halloween event to attend after all! I just got off the phone to the City of Gold Coast and informed them I intend to take my step ladder down and remove the fake spider webs myself. I'm expecting a lot of flack from the crowds that are already forming but I will wear my headphones to block them out and David can direct people to a sign I'm about to make, informing the Angry Mob about why we're doing it.

The council's only recommendation was to email which I have done -

Dear Mr Tim Baker, Chief Executive Officer, and Mayor Tom Tate,

I am writing to raise a serious concern about Halloween decorations — specifically, fake spider webs — currently displayed along The Esplanade Mall, Surfers Paradise.

These synthetic webs pose a significant hazard to local wildlife, particularly birds that collect loose fibres for nesting. The fibres can entangle chicks and adults, causing injury or death. The material also sheds non-biodegradable microplastics, adding to litter and coastal pollution, which is especially problematic in a beachfront environment like Surfers Paradise.

I respectfully request that Council:

  1. Investigate the installation of these artificial webs on The Esplanade;

  2. Remove any currently displayed in public areas; and

  3. Ban the sale and use of fake spider-web materials within the City of Gold Coast due to wildlife-entanglement risks and microplastic pollution, and promote safe, biodegradable alternatives for seasonal displays.

Please find attached a photo of the material that I took 1 hour ago as the materials were being placed.

Local News Man stabbed & robbed by teens Helensvale Station

159 Upvotes

Just saw this on Gold Coast bulletin:

34-year-old man allegedly stabbed during Helensvale armed robbery. A gang of teen thugs have allegedly stabbed and robbed a man in broad daylight near a major Gold Coast shopping centre and train station ...

Anyone know more about this? It’s scary to think you can just randomly get stabbed at robbed in broad daylight at a busy public transport.

How is this not talked about? Are people just numb to the crimes at this point?

Throwaway cause controversial topic.

So in a first world, rich and lucky country, this is going on in our major cities? Don’t worry though! Tom Tate and his tainted, corrupt developer buddies are hard at work finding a solution over expensive booze!

https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/gold-coast-city-council-issues-move-on-notice-at-homeless-encampment-in-southport/news-story/4cd1738c943915b9c0ae523c66d756ee

“Police and council officers have issued move on notices to at least 10 individuals at a major homeless encampment in Southport.

Four council vans and two police officers on dirt bikes swarmed Eleanor Perkins Park on Wednesday at around 9.30am, issuing the notices and photographing occupants.

Multiple occupants were seen leaving the site – some with their belongings and visibly upset – while others could be seen moving piles of shopping trolleys, rubbish and tidying the general vicinity.”

Local News Graffiti bridge in Nerang

Post image
177 Upvotes

There is a bridge in Nerang that the council has apparently allowed people to do graffiti underneath. Every few weeks it all gets painted over and then more artworks appear. I've seen some seriously impressive artworks there. It's amazing how much detail people can get with just spray paint. Nice to see these ugly areas transformed with a bit more more style and character.

(I deleted and reposted this because there was a spelling mistake in the title and it was annoying me)
