In short:

A Canberra innovation that can detect contaminants in dairy products could reduce milk waste, with around 150 million tonnes currently wasted annually.

It allows dairy companies, who previously had to wait two to three days to receive routine laboratory test results, to test on site in just three minutes.

What's next?

The Cybertongue technology may be expanded to test food for allergens or even some bacterial toxins in future.

In short:

Media academics fear for the future of regional journalism after WIN Corporation announced cuts to one of Australia's oldest nightly news bulletins.

The current one-hour 6pm weeknight news bulletin on NBN in northern NSW will be cut to 30 minutes and shifted to 5:30pm, while local weekend bulletins have been axed.

What's next?

NBN News staff were told this week that WIN management will look at the news structure over the next three weeks as they assess resources.

Over the weekend, Brisbane's Church of Scientology became the latest target of a viral trend that began in the United States just a few months ago — the Scientology speed run.

Nfi why? It is literally blasted out into space for anyone with a receiver to hear but now unless I want to spend 2 gigs of ram and a CPU core I can't listen on a computer.

Why lock down public radio? What possible state interest does that serve?

In short:

Two Victorian climbers and their rescuers have been winched to safety after spending the night stranded on a cliff in the Warrumbungle National Park, near Coonabarabran, in central-western New South Wales.

A delicate operation was launched after a 61-year-old climber suffered head injuries from a falling rock.

What's next?

The injured climber was taken to Coonabarabran Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.

He told the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion he was embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community when he came out as gay as a teenager, but the experience was markedly different when he told loved ones of his religious conversion.

"When I began the process of telling people that I was embarking on this Jewish journey, I lost a significant number of friends,"

he said.

"It was quite horrific actually."

Benjamin F said he no longer felt safe in "progressive" circles and spaces, with his former friends calling him Jewish slurs and labelling him a supporter of genocide.

"It's lonely," he said.

I'll keep this in mind

A car belonging to Western Sydney mayor Ola Hamed was destroyed in a suspected firebombing, as police investigate a string of shootings and arson attacks across Sydney’s south-west.
