From the beginning of this month, women in Saudi Arabia will be informed via text if their husbands are divorcing them.

Prior to this technological update, men could divorce their wives without notifying them. This does little to change the marital law system, as knowledge of the divorce does not ensure the right to alimony or effect custody of children.

This comes after criticism of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman’s rulings have been deemed as a ‘red herring for archaic Saudi values and practices’.

Brisbane’s dock workers vote to strike over a supposed 'attack' on pay and conditions.

The existing wage agreement pays waterfront workers an average of $150,000 in Sydney and $130,000 in Brisbane for working 30 to 33 hours a week, with the union alleging rebuffing demands to cut superannuation, leave, and a $10 an hour pay cut.

Crocodile farmers in Queensland can now legally hunt and gather crocodile eggs in the wild, and hatch them for luxury goods.

State government introduced changes to conservation laws without public notification which permits hunters to hatch wild eggs for their skin and meat.

State Government says egg hunters will have to apply for a licence, follow strict guidelines and monitor local croc numbers.

The licence has been beneficial to farmers like John Lever, who has been forced to travel to the Northern Territory to collect his eggs.

There’s a big stink over a million rotting fish in Australian river. Even causing an Australian MP to vomit while shooting a video campaigning on polluted waterways.

Up to a million rotting fish need to be removed from Australia’s Darling River as the carcasses could trigger another wave of deaths.

The fish need to be collected “within a matter of days” according to environmental scientist Stuart Khan. If they remain in the water, bacteria that feat on the carcasses will proliferate and rob the water of oxygen, compounding the problem.

The Russian LGBT network has been monitoring alleged abuses in Chechnya, following the imprisonment of forty people and the alleged death of two people from torture.

Chechnya’s authoritative figure, Ramzan Kadyrov has consistently denied allegations of illegal detention and human rights abuses.

A new image captured by European Space Agency’s Mars Express spacecraft showcases an ice crater on the surface of mars.

The Korolev Crater is 82 km wide and nearly 2 kms deep, and holds perpetually frozen water in its basin. Ice still exists on Mars near its poles and the Martian atmosphere has tiny amounts of water vapour.

Kirsten Siebach, a planetary geologist at Rice University in Houston, claims that there used to be water in rivers and lakes on Mars but it largely either froze as the atmosphere dissipated or was lost to space.

Six people were taken to hospital after a tourist bus flipped 20 meters down an embankment in the Gold Coast Hinterland last night.
