The streets of #Sydney, #Brisbane and #Perth turned into a sea of green, red, black and white as thousands took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In Sydney, attendees stretched from the steps of Town Hall along the tram tracks of George Street in the city's centre, chanting "free free Palestine" and "shame shame Albanese".
A number of speakers addressed the crowd including representatives from the Indigenous and Palestinian communities, Jenny Leong from the Greens NSW and Michelle Berkon from Jews Against the Occupation.
The march was given late approval on Friday as NSW Premier Chris Minns promised a "zero tolerance" approach to any violence or hate speech.
Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall's "Bananaland is equal parts hilarious and uplifting, features a cast of unforgettable characters and makes its debut in QPAC’s Playhouse as part of Brisbane Festival from 16 September to 1 October 2023."

Wot’s in the shots? Graphene oxide? Nanobots?

What is in the #Pfizer #vaccines? Recently, #Dr David #Nixon, a #Brisbane #GP, decided to find out, putting droplets of #vaccine and the blood of vaccinated patients under a #dark-field #microscope.
That’s a more radical decision than it might sound. According to Sasha Latypova, a scientist with 25 years of experience in clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies, the contract between Pfizer and the US government prohibits independent researchers from studying the vaccines. They claim it would ‘divert’ these precious resources away from their intended use fulfilling an ‘urgent’ need.
Is that true in #Australia? Who knows? All the Commonwealth Department of #Health has said about its contract with Pfizer is that it is commercial-in-confidence.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration performs tests on all #Covid vaccines for composition and strength, purity and integrity, identity and endotoxins, but it provides scant details other than the batch numbers tested and whether they passed. (Spoiler alert: they did.)
In the US, the Centers for Disease Control specifically states that all #Covid-19 vaccines are free from ‘metals, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth alloys’ and ‘manufactured products such as micro-electronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, and nanowire semiconductors’.
Notably, this list does not include #grapheneoxide which has been widely investigated for biomedical applications. Some researchers sing its praises, its ‘ultra-high drug-loading efficiency due to the wide surface area’, its exceptional ‘chemical and mechanical constancy, sublime conductivity and excellent biocompatibility’. But there’s a catch. ‘The toxic effect of graphene oxide on living cells and organs’ is ‘a limiting factor’ on its use in the medicine.
So is there graphene oxide in the Pfizer shots? What Nixon found, and filmed, is bizarre to say the least. Inside a droplet of vaccine are #strange #mechanical #structures. They seem motionless at first but when Nixon used time-lapse photography to condense 48 hours of footage into two minutes, it showed what appear to be mechanical arms assembling and disassembling glowing rectangular structures that look like #circuitry and #microchips. These are not ‘manufactured products’ in the CDC’s words because they construct and deconstruct themselves but the formation of the crystals seems to be stimulated by #electromagnetic #radiation and stops when the slide with the vaccine is shielded by a Faraday bag. Nixon’s findings are similar to those of teams in #NewZealand, #Germany, #Spain and #SouthKorea.

Nielsen Jenkins designs Brisbane home to withstand bushfires
Australian studio Nielsen Jenkins has completed a "tough" family home with lush green courtyards protected from extreme bushfires by high blockwork walls.
Mt Coot-Tha House sits on a challenging site characterised by a steep slope at the foot of Mt Coot-Tha, in the suburb Brisbane of Bardon.
Faced with the requirements of the second-highest bushfire attack level (BAL40), the local studio designed the home as a series of low, sloping units linked by a triple-height, "civic-scaled" staircase block that steps up the forested site.
Mt Coot-Tha House is located on a forested site at the foot of a mountain
"An efficient stairway axis at the scale of the gum forest runs directly into the contour, and an informal meandering path across the plan allows for functional plateaus or occupiable contours," Nielsen Jenkins explained.
This layout provides a garage at ground floor level, a large living, dining and kitchen area on the first floor and an area for the main bedrooms on the second floor.
Floors are linked by a triple-height staircase block
Due to the steepness of the slope, the first floor features a series of smaller level changes, stepping up from a living area and balcony towards a kitchen overlooked by a large internal courtyard.
"These smaller sectional shifts allow a grounded courtyard space adjacent to the living area of the house becomes a kind of 'village green' around which the rituals of daily life are lived," described the studio.
The building features a corrugated metal facade on top of a blockwork base
The sloping rooflines on each block follow the slope of the site upwards, each clad with corrugated metal atop a blockwork base.
All of these material choices, as well as those in the interior, were made in accordance with the BAL40 rating, which also necessitated that the gaps around openings be no greater than three millimetres.
"Robust and prosaic materials have been detailed in a manner which will require no maintenance moving forward, and will let the building continue to settle into the hill over time," explained Nielsen Jenkins.
Internally the exposed blockwork of the central staircase form is contrasted by white walls and wooden floors and furniture.
The kitchen overlooks a large internal courtyard
Taking advantage of the frequent changes in level, a mix of high panoramic windows, skylights and carefully-framed openings aim to capture the feeling of "leaning back" to look at the forest. The apertures are aligned with the tree trunks on the lower levels and the canopy on the upper level.
Around the perimeter of the house a series of "wet walls" have been pulled away to deal with overland water flow, doubling as small, flat courtyard areas that mimic clearings in the densely vegetated forest.
High panoramic windows allow residents to take in the forest
Mt Coot-Tha home was recently longlisted in the rural house category of this year's Dezeen Awards.
Other nominated projects include a cave-like house by Mold Architects that's embedded into a hill overlooking the Mediterranean.
