Brickbats to a Mullum ‘not neighbourly’ neighbour for their treatment of a family relocating to town. The family’s container arrived a few hours before they did, and the neighbour refused to allow it to be left on the public reserve adjacent to her property, for just two days. The container was dropped at the Mullum Industrial Estate, leaving the family to find a way to bring it to their new home. End result: BSC said it could be unloaded in situ, meanwhile it cost the newbies more angst and money for the inconvenience. Welcome to Mullum! Q Q Q Q

It appears that whoever is in charge of Senator Hanson’s domain name (paulinehanson. com.au) forgot to notice it was about to expire. Fast-acting cyber activists have bought the domain and redirected it to the refugee advocacy group Refugee Council of Australia. RCOA is a non-profit national umbrella body for refugees and people seeking asylum and those who support them, with 200 organisational and over 1,000 individual members. Their website says, ‘You can help us keep fighting for refugees and people seeking asylum by becoming a member, donating, volunteering or taking part in our campaigns.’ If he/she still has a job, Pauline’s Hanson’s webmaster has some explaining to do.
