Sleaford Mods: Sleaford Mods
- By now, Sleaford Mods' music has become a well-executed mnemonic state. Gruff vocals spit a sardonic and biting diatribe over simplistic loops, cemented into a style unmatched by others. When I first encountered them it was like running into a drunk bloke ranting at the pub, a recipe that I found surprisingly entertaining; it’s been a grouse time since. Coming into this new self-titled EP, Sleaford Mods operate from a code of their own. Variety might not be the duo’s strong suit but when the product is consistently brilliant, can we really complain, at this point?

Adani admits to clearing land and failing to report it to Queensland Government
Adani has admitted to clearing six hectares of bushland and failing to declare this in its regular reporting to the Queensland Government.
The land was cleared on the Carmichael mine site to drill pads near boreholes and build tracks, and is approximately the size of 10 Brisbane residential lots.
