Fixing the problem would require shutting down the ocean outfall – which reaches 2.3km offshore – for maintenance and diverting sewage to “cliff face discharge”, which would close Sydney’s beaches “for months”, a secret report obtained by Guardian Australia using freedom of information laws states.

again, if you actually CLEANED your fucking water rather than just straining the turds and dumping it in the ocean, you wouldn't have this fucking issue.

Act like a goddamn civilised city, Sydney.

It could be the size of four Sydney buses.

Anything to avoid using metr . . . Wait a damn minute, y'all are already metric.

So is 4 Sidney buses longer or shorter than a drop bear can fall without dying? Or if it's easier, how many ostrich eggs long is it?

Wrong continent for ostriches, we only measure things in emu eggs here

Ah shit. I knew it was one of them flightless bastards. You wouldn't happen to know the conversion rate for ostrich>emu>penguin eggs?

1 ostrich egg is approximately 1.1 emu eggs.
