North Korea launches claimed ‘spy satellite’, Seoul says

South Korea's military detected the launch of what Pyongyang has described as a military reconnaissance satellite "from Tongchang County area of North Pyongan Province in North Korea, at around 6:29 today" in a southerly direction, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. "Our military is checking whether it is flying normally," they added.The military was now analysing whether "what North Korea has claimed as a space launch vehicle" -- ostensibly intended to carry a satellite into orbit -- may have broken up in mid-air or crashed after vanishing from radar early, the Yonhap News Agency reported.The "projectile disappeared from radar before reaching expected drop point," Yonhap said, citing the Joint Chiefs, adding that the military was looking at the possibility of it "exploding mid-air or crashing". North Korea on Tuesday confirmed it planned to launch what it called "military reconnaissance satellite No. 1" before June 11, havin...

The way Australians have been recycling is all wrong

But it’s not all bad news for sustainability, as saving money is motivating more sustainable lifestyle choices, according to a new report by Cleanaway.Eight in 10 Aussies are opting to repair items rather than replace them, and six in 10 are buying secondhand, motivated primarily by saving money rather than by environmental concerns.Ruby Dwyer says the current crisis has encouraged her and the family to look at second-hand purchasing from online sites like Facebook Marketplace.“I go to more op shops for toys and books for my son. These sorts of behaviours wouldn’t have been at the forefront of my mind prior to this financial crunch,” she says.“Since the cost of living has risen, I’ve found myself repairing items. In the past, I may have thrown it out or taken it to the op shop. Now I’m finding that I’m learning to repair things like pillowcases and baby clothes. That’s definitely a behaviour change.”SORT IT OUTThe report also lifts the lid on our everyday recycling behaviours, proving ...

Food label mistake everyone makes

QUESTION: Hi Dr Zac, I found myself looking at a nutritional label the other day but realised I had no idea what I’ve been looking at – what’s good, bad, and a potential heart attack in the making?! Can you help me with a code breaker so I can understand what it is I’m actually looking at? – Jackson, 27, CairnsANSWER: It’s important to check the nutrition labels, but it’s even more important to actually read them and understand the nutritional value of foods you are eating. It’s something that should be taught in detail in schools across Australia. Obesity is a leading cause of death in Australia, as well across the Western world, and that is one simple method of preventing it.Furthermore, if we focus on schools and incorporating not only nutritional education but also the cooking application, we could change the culture of tuckshops into health shops. The same can be said for the absolute junk that is sold quite often at hospitals. Surely if we cared more for the carers/nurses and tea...

I could never have imagined what it was actually like.”Barr then asked her whether she’d “warn people not to go on MAFS” in the future.“I think it’s really dangerous,” Winter replied.“I know that some of my castmates are really struggling.“I’ve been struggling … I hope that people just understand what it’s really like and that’s why I’m trying to spread a bit of awareness about it because ...

Croc encounter leaves ‘wildman’ stunned

Crocodile tour leader and self-described “wildman” Damian Duffy has had plenty of close encounters with big reptiles, but he’s recently shared the only experience that left him truly rattled. The incident, which occurred in the Northern Territory, took place shortly after Mr Duffy heard word of dozens of crocodiles had been spotted feasting on a dead buffalo on a nearby river bank. He headed out on his boat to see the sight and came across “about 15 crocodiles hanging around” the carcass. He decided to drop an anchor, Mr Duffy told Channel 9, but then the wind started to pick up. “I wound up abandoning the photography mission as it was too difficult to keep the boat out of harm’s way,” he said.“I pulled in the anchor and went about 15 metres up river. I’m idling the boat, keeping it against the wind. I just got goosebumps, the spider senses were tingling, and I was looking around.”It was then that Mr Duffy saw the “colossally huge” animal that had pushed him into fight or flight mode. ...

Greece eyes new vote as PM to seek absolute majority

The conservative New Democracy party of Mitsotakis scored a thumping win in Sunday's vote, with a clear 20-point lead over its nearest rival -- Syriza led by leftist Alexis Tsipras.Voters handed the conservatives their best result in 14 years, crediting the party with bringing economic stability back to a nation once known as an EU laggard.Mitsotakis himself said the "great victory surpassed our own expectations".But it fell short of an outright majority, leaving Mitsotakis with the option of either seeking a coalition or calling a new vote.The 55-year-old Harvard graduate on Sunday made clear his preferred option."Together we will fight as of tomorrow, so that in the next elections, what citizens have already decided -- a self-reliant New Democracy -- will be mathematically confirmed at the ballot.""We will move forward, boldly and steadily, to complete today's important first step, and be the final winners," he said, adding that Greeks "want...

Government’s policies to get wages moving are working: Tony Burke

Workplace Relations Minister Tony Burke discusses the Albanese government’s policies to get wages moving as he insists inflation will come down. “Could you imagine where cost of living would be at the moment if you still had the determination to keep wages low that the previous government had?” Mr Burke told Sky News Australia. “As inflation starts to come down, we want to get to the point where those lines cross. “When those two lines cross and wages start to get in front of inflation again as inflation comes down, that’s when people start to get ahead.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au

Stepdad was OnlyFans creator’s No.1 fan

The NSW-based woman, who posts on TikTok under the handle Ta1laaa, shared in a video on Tuesday that she’d “ruined her mum’s marriage” after finding out he spent almost $2000 on her content and had requested custom-made videos. “I ruined my mum’s marriage, I never planned telling this story on TikTok, but here we are,” she began in the clip. “So when I first started my website, I had this customer who was my number one customer, bought every single thing that I sent him, he was pretty much a follower since the beginning. “We would talk every day, he made custom requests, very specific things, and he also had a very specific user name on the website.” Within two months, the user – who also had an account on TikTok with the same handle – had spent $2000.
