The presence of an old graveyard where victims of the Bulli mining disaster were buried does not have to stop a Woonona church from redeveloping the site. Subscribe now for unlimited access . Login or signup to continue reading The Woonona Presbyterian Church has lodged a development application with Wollongong City Council to demolish parts of the buildings on site and enlarge the existing structure that has been in use since 1916. "The building no longer meets the requirements of the congregation," the statement of environmental effects said. "Consequently the Church is proposing alterations and additions so that the building more closely reflects the needs of its worshippers. In this regard, if more than 150 people attend a service then they are no longer able to comfortably fit within the existing church building." As part of the proposed development, the gravel and dirt car park on the western end of the site - next to Woonona Public School - will be formalised to create 23 spaces. The parking area is used by those going to church and also parents dropping off and picking up children from the school. This car park has been built over the site of a cemetery that was decommissioned in 1937 and the headstones later removed. An archaeological report submitted as part of the development application stated that at least nine victims of the 1887 Bulli mine disaster were buried on the site of the Woonona church. Overall, the report said it was unclear just how many people were buried there. The burial plan showed 279 plots though it wasn't clear whether they had all been used. The report stated that there were 102 people known "beyond reasonable doubt" to have been buried there. The archeological study did raise concerns about any excavation work done at the site. "The excavation would likely result in the removal of upper levels of burials, including grave cuts and grave furniture, as well as the removal of the headstones, which were buried in the 1980s," it stated. "Overall, the proposed works would result in a major negative impact to finite historical archaeological resources of local significance relating to the use of the study area as a Presbyterian Church and Cemetery." The report did identify that archaeological tests and salvage excavations could provide a "partial mitigation" of the construction impact. "The potential archaeological resources and information gathered from the excavation of the upper levels of the graves and of the buried headstones would be able to allow us to answer important research questions relating to information that is not otherwise available from any other site or source," the report stated. "The knowledge gained from the identification of the location of the graves would therefore outweigh the potential harm caused by the excavation works. Therefore, the works would contribute to our understanding of the cemetery, resulting in the partial mitigation of the potential impacts." The development application is on public exhibition until February 4.

Germany ambassador visits Edmonton, meets with Alberta premierTarleton St. 61, Hofstra 59A group of young men got a jump start on their Christmas shopping on Nov. 24 by walking out of the Mount Pleasant Dick's Sporting Goods with a cart full of unpaid fleece sweaters, according to the Mount Pleasant Police Department. The Dick's store manager relayed details of the crime to officers that saw a quartet of Black males enter and exit the Bowman Road site at different times. One of the individuals was seen leaving the store with a cart containing about $1,000 worth of clothing. One of the responding officers recalled seeing three of the four suspects walk in front of his car about 15 to 20 minutes before the reported theft in the same retail area. In a corresponding police incident report, the officer detailed that alleged thieves were witnessed exiting a black Honda sedan near Nordstrom Rack. Immediately following the alleged robbery, the lawman reported the sight of an empty Dick's shopping cart in the same spot where the Honda was parked. In a failed attempt to obtain video footage of the accused males walking out of their car, police were told by a Nordstrom Rack employee that the camera operator wasn't present. Similarly, Dick's Sporting Goods would not allow thier store manager to release any clips to the authorities. However, police were assured by Dick's that they would receive the requested video in a secured file. No arrests have been made while the MPPD gathers evidence.
NoneSAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of and actively participated in a coup plot to remain in office after his defeat in the 2022 election , according to a Federal Police report unsealed Tuesday. Federal Police last Thursday formally accused Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup. They sent their 884-page report to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal. The unsealed document provides a first glimpse of several testimonies that describe the former president as one of the key leaders of the plot, and not a mere observer. “The evidence collected throughout the investigation shows unequivocally that then-President Jair Messias Bolsonaro planned, acted and was directly and effectively aware of the actions of the criminal organization aiming to launch a coup d’etat and eliminate the democratic rule of law, which did not take place due to reasons unrelated to his desire,” the document said. At another point, it says: “Bolsonaro had full awareness and active participation.” Bolsonaro, who had repeatedly alleged without evidence that the country’s electronic voting system was prone to fraud, called a meeting in December 2022, during which he presented a draft decree to the commanders of the three divisions of the armed forces, according to the police report, signed by four investigators. The decree would have launched an investigation into suspicions of fraud and crimes related to the October 2022 vote, and suspended the powers of the nation’s electoral court. RELATED COVERAGE Dozens of recordings reveal high-ranking Brazilian officers pressured Bolsonaro to stage a coup Brazilian police formally accused Bolsonaro of an attempted coup. What comes next? The dizzying array of legal threats to Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro The navy’s commander stood ready to comply, but those from the army and air force objected to any plan that prevented Lula’s inauguration, the report said. Those refusals are why the plan did not go ahead, according to witnesses who spoke to investigators. Bolsonaro never signed the decree to set the final stage of the alleged plan into action. Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or awareness of any plot to keep him in power or oust his leftist rival and successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “No one is going to do a coup with a reserve general and half a dozen other officers. What is being said is absurd. For my part, there has never been any discussion of a coup,” Bolsonaro told journalists in Brazil’s capital Brasilia on Monday. “If someone came to discuss a coup with me, I’d say, that’s fine, but the day after, how does the world view us?” he added. “The word ‘coup’ has never been in my dictionary.” The top court has passed the report on to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet. He will decide whether to formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. The former president was formally accused of three crimes: violent elimination of the rule of law, staging a coup d’etat and forming a criminal organization. Rodrigo Rios, a law professor at the PUC university in the city of Curitiba, said Bolsonaro could face up to a minimum of 11 years in prison if convicted on all charges. “A woman involved in the Jan. 8 attack on the Supreme Court received a 17-year prison sentence,” Rios told The Associated Press, noting that the former president is more likely to receive 15 years or more if convicted. “Bolsonaro’s future looks dark.” Ahead of the 2022 election, Bolsonaro repeatedly alleged that the election system, which does not use paper ballots, could be tampered with. The top electoral court later ruled that he had abused his power to cast unfounded doubt on the voting system, and ruled him ineligible for office until 2030 . Still, he has maintained that he will stand as a candidate in the 2026 race. Since Bolsonaro left office, he has been targeted by several investigations, all of which he has chalked up to political persecution. Federal Police have accused him of smuggling diamond jewelry into Brazil without properly declaring them and directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses . Authorities are also investigating whether he incited the Jan. 8, 2022 riot in which his followers ransacked the Supreme Court and presidential palace in Brasilia, seeking to prompt intervention by the army that would oust Lula from power. Bolsonaro had left for the United States days before Lula’s inauguration on Jan. 1, 2023 and stayed there three months, keeping a low profile. The police report unsealed Tuesday alleges he was seeking to avoid possible imprisonment related to the coup plot, and also await the uprising that took place a week later. ___ Hughes reported from Rio de Janeiro
Australia's prime minister said Sunday he was ready to "engage" with billionaire X owner Elon Musk over his criticism of the government's ban on under-16s joining social media. Anthony Albanese hailed the parliament's Thursday passage of landmark legislation requiring social media firms to take "reasonable steps" to prevent young teens from having accounts.

The alliance, branded Mahashakti, fielded 121 candidates, none of whom managed to secure a win. Many lost their deposits, leaving the alliance in tatters and raising questions about its political relevance. Smaller parties have struggled to make an impact in elections in recent years, and the latest results further underscore their declining influence. Prominent leaders associated with the Third Front—including Raj Thackeray, Bacchu Kadu, Raju Shetti, Prakash Ambedkar, and Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati—faced rejection at the ballot box. Shetti, a farmers’ leader and former MP, expressed concern over the diminishing space for issue-based politics. “We have been raising genuine issues—farmers’ distress, rural challenges, and even urban problems through the MNS—but voters no longer prioritize these. Elections have increasingly been dominated by religious and emotive narratives,” he said. Shetti highlighted the plight of farmers, citing pressing issues like soybean, sugarcane, cotton, and onion prices. “Despite fighting for these causes, the response from voters has been disappointing. If this trend continues, it will discourage leaders who want to focus on real issues. Every social worker needs some power to bring about change,” he added. Shetti lamented the decline in public support for smaller parties and issue-based campaigns, noting that even his earlier electoral success was backed by farmers who contributed to his campaign fund. However, he has faced consecutive defeats since 2014. “If young farmer leaders start following the trends set by bigger parties, the essence of grassroots politics will be lost,” Shetti warned, adding that the future of smaller parties and their role in Indian politics remains bleak if voters continue to favour larger, identity-driven narratives.The space is where I like to look for opportunities that could deliver strong capital returns. Not only is capital growth great at increasing our wealth, but it also does so in a way where the tax burden is quite low. Capital growth is only taxed when the asset is sold, whereas income and interest are taxed every year. Of course, there are plenty of businesses that are growing quickly and also pay a dividend. I like businesses that are increasing their earnings rapidly because is a very powerful financial tool that can allow companies to double in size. For example, if a business grows revenue by 20% per year, it will double in size in less than four years. Having said all that, I think these ASX growth stocks below could have a very positive 2025. TechnologyOne Ltd ( ) TechnologyOne is one of the most impressive software businesses on the ASX, in my view. It provides enterprise resource planning (ERP) for clients like local, state, and federal governments, as well as education (such as universities) and businesses. This is mission-critical for their software. I have already missed out on some of the gains with TechnologyOne shares. In , I wrote how the ASX growth share was close to being my next investment. I didn't get around to investing, and it has risen 22% since then. However, it's not too late for anyone, including me, to grab a piece of this exciting business. The – reported just over a month ago – included lots of positives. Total grew 20%, with UK sales ARR jumping 70%. I think it's a great sign that growth in the UK is so strong because the UK provides the company with a large addressable market to target. The company's long-term target of net revenue retention (NRR) of 115% is impressive. That means its existing client base generates 15% more revenue in the next year compared to the previous year, which is a strong organic growth rate. The ASX growth stock is achieving this by expanding its use of global software as a service (SaaS) ERP software to streamline its services. TechnologyOne is also expecting profit growth. It achieved a profit before tax (PBT) margin of 29% in FY23, which rose to 30% in FY24. In the coming years, it aims for a PBT margin of at least 35%. According to the broker UBS, the TechnologyOne share price is 35x FY29's estimated earnings. It's not cheap, but many of the ASX's best growth shares also trade on high earnings multiples. VanEck MSCI International Small Companies Quality ETF ( ) I view smaller businesses as having more growth potential than larger ones, partly due to the fact they are still in the growth stage of their business life. This ASX growth stock is an focused on exciting businesses. Inside this portfolio are 150 of the world's highest-quality small companies. Small companies on the global stage are still relatively large – we're not talking microcaps. The companies have achieved that status because they score well on three measurements and low financial leverage. In the past five years, the index this fund tracks has returned an average of 15% per year. That compares to an average 13.4% return per year for the MSCI World ex-Australia, which is one measurement of the global share market. With these businesses spread across different countries and sectors, I like the on offer – this investment is not reliant on a few tech names to do well. In fact, only 8.6% of the fund is invested in IT businesses. Hence, I'm excited by how this fund could do in the long term.

House guest insists on doing wasteful chore as ‘thank you’A group of Eastern Iowa residents met Tuesday in Cedar Rapids with a staff member from U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst’s office to urge the Iowa Republican to vote against the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary for his role in spreading misinformation about vaccine safety. The group, organized by the advocacy organization Progress Iowa, said Kennedy is unfit to lead to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer, was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to oversee the federal agencies that play a central role in directing U.S. public health policy, including vaccine development and immunization activities. The renowned vaccine skeptic told NBC News last month that he would not “take away anybody's vaccines,” and has insisted he's not "anti-vaccine" despite his involvement with Children's Health Defense, a leading anti-vaccine group, and repeating debunked claims that vaccines cause autism. Kennedy also undermined confidence in the measles vaccine ahead of a deadly outbreak in Samoa in 2019 and promoted AIDS falsehoods, according to reporting by the New York Times. Diana Siguenza, a retired nurse who lives in Cedar Rapids, and Sue Cahalan, a retired physician assistant from Norway, Iowa, expressed strong opposition to RFK Jr.’s nomination, citing his lack of experience in health care and his anti-vaccination stance. They highlighted his history with the Children's Health Defense, his involvement in lawsuits against vaccines and his travels to promote anti-vaccination views. The pair said Kennedy’s confirmation could undermine public health by eroding trust in vaccines and evidence-based medicine. Siguenza said she fears dire consequences of his potential policies, particularly for cancer research and global health. She noted that many cancer treatments are based on vaccines that help the body recognize and fight cancer cells. Iowa has the second-highest rate of new cancer diagnoses in the nation, behind Kentucky. It also has the distinction of being the only state to report a notable increase in cancer rates in recent years. Siguenza and Cahalan said they hope their concerns will influence Ernst’s decision. “President Trump trusts RFK Jr. to bring more transparency to our federal public health agencies, and Senator Ernst looks forward to meeting with and vetting him,” Ernst’s office said in a statement to The Gazette. Republican Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird joined a letter signed by 29 other state attorneys general to U.S. Senate leadership urging swift confirmation of Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s new pick for U.S. Attorney General. Iowa Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, the incoming chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met Monday with Bondi. The 59-year-old Trump ally was part of a team of lawyers that defended the then-president during his first Senate impeachment trial, where he was accused — but not convicted — of attempting to coerce Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate then-former Vice President Joe Biden. Bondi, who served as Florida Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, also was involved in efforts to delegitimize the results of the 2020 presidential election that Trump lost to Biden, falsely claiming that Trump had “won Pennsylvania” at a news conference in Philadelphia and claiming voter fraud, according to reporting by the Tampa Bay Times. She also served on a federal commission during Trump’s first term focused on combating drug addiction and the opioid crisis. “President Trump made an exceptional choice with Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General,” Bird said in a statement. “Attorney General Bondi is tough, smart, and fierce. She has been a historic leader in the fight against drug abuse and human trafficking, and she will restore integrity to our federal justice system. I’ve known Attorney General Bondi both as a friend and fellow prosecutor, and I have full confidence that she will serve our country well as U.S. Attorney General.” Iowa joined the South Carolina and Florida-led letter signed by attorneys general and attorneys general-elect from 27 other states. A baby girl born Nov. 11 was surrendered through Iowa’s Safe Haven Law and now is in the care and custody of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, the state announced Tuesday. It is the sixth Save Haven Baby in Iowa this year. Under the program, the infant will be placed with foster families until a permanent home is determined. Iowa’s Safe Haven Law allows parents in crisis who determine they cannot care for an infant up to 90 days old to relinquish the newborn to the state. Designated safe havens include hospitals and police and fire stations. Health and Human Services then works to place relinquished infants in approved foster homes while the child awaits adoption. Ten infants were relinquished to the state under the law in 2023; there have been a total of 72 infants relinquished since the law took effect more than two decades ago, according to the department. More information on Iowa’s Safe Haven Law is available at hhs.iowa.gov . Iowans interested in becoming a foster parent or adopting a child can visit iowafosterandadoption.org . Sen.
