Picture: Julianne Osborne According to a recent report, sleep deprivation and nights of broken sleep lead to people waking unrested and unrefreshed. This is an issue where integrated housing is leading to many different social and cultural groups living in close proximity to each other. While some want to sleep, others consider the night a time for loud socialising activities, with sleep being caught up during the working day. Homeowner Congratulations and thanks to NT Farmers CEO Paul Burke for his hard work and the unstinting hours he has given to ensuring that overseas fruit pickers could be brought into the Northern Territory to help pick our mango crop this season. His dedication and conscientiousness have turned what could have been a disastrous season into a profitable one for growers. Urban Farmer Climate change? Perhaps what were really trying to do is modify many natural extremes of world climate to suit us. Many hundreds of millions of people now live/work in various natural disaster high-risk zones all over the will be a future now that we have vaccinations in place, its not the biggest stuff-up in Australian history, its (one of) the biggest emergencies.

We omnipotent humans have grown accustomed to our own way: eliminating all natural obstacles in our expansionism way wildlife, vegetation, terrain (shifting volcanoes remains tricky) exploiting all resources when/wherever why wouldnt we try to modify inconvenient climate, too? Andrew T. Durack, so what (if we have to have booster shots) I dont remember actually signing up for anything to do with vaccinations, and Im glad the government forged ahead with them. The government has not left us all wondering (only you) what the future holds, Im confident that there
