An unfinished Ukrainian videogame set in Auschwitz has sparked outrage in Poland following it’s proposed horror shooter gameplay.

Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance demanded an investigation into the game following the backlash in the Polish media and Aliens Studio has implemented damage control by erasing all references to Auschwitz from their product.

A court battle has blown out the cost of an upgrade to Sandgate Aquatic Centre’s pool by more than $1 million, with Brisbane City council to help foot the bill.

Though council approved the development in September of 2014, the upgrade was put on hold when it was challenged in the Planning and Environment Court and the Supreme Court.

The five-year delay in the commencement of construction has prompted a cost increase of $1 million for the work to be completed in the jointly-funded $4 million upgrade to the pool.

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America have filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America for removing the word “boy” from their title.

Set to be called the BSA from 2019 onwards, the group announced the new name in May as it allows for older girls to be recognised as members for the first time.

Nonetheless, the Girl Scouts say the change would be a “uniquely damaging” erosion of their brand, and the lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction against trademark breaches.

Scott Morrison has denied his four day trip through Queensland is the start of a marathon election campaign, saying "this is just me doing what I do."

The Prime Minister mingled with punters at Sunshine Coast’s Corbould Park racecourse, celebrating Melbourne Cup, stating he was in Queensland listening, and most importantly hearing.

Queensland has more than a dozen seats that could turn the election due early next year, with Morrison set to visit five marginal electorates in the coming days.

Popular fish species on the Great Barrier Reef have shown signs of microplastics and other man-made plastics within their gut.

The study from the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Townsville has found this to be the first study of wild-caught commercial fish with the presence of micro-debris within a World Heritage Area.

Researches are currently unclear whether sources of the micro fibre could be from domestic, land-based or shipping-based sewage discharges, or other international sources.

Climate change experts have predicted the hole in the Earth’s ozone layer will fully heal within 50 years, a UN report has revealed.

Scientists first discovered damage to the ozone layer in the 1980s, identifying chloroflourocarbons, or CFCs, as the main contributor, previously common in refrigerators, aerosol cans and dry cleaning chemicals.

Banned globally under the Montreal Protocol of 1987, a decline of CFCs in the atmosphere means that the Earth’s ozone layer is expected to fully recover some time in the 2060s.
