Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has admitted the scraping of 50 million user’s personal data by political consultancy Cambridge Analytica was a “breach of trust between Facebook and the people who share their data with us.”

Adelaide has become the first capital city in Australia to recognise the local indigenous people as the traditional land owners of the area.

A 2017 staff survey by Brisbane City Council, obtained by Fairfax Media, reveals less than 50 per cent of employees feel “inspired” at work, and only two-in-three think their “workplace is free from harassment and workplace bullying.”

The survey was completed by almost 6,000 employees and the results have been available to them for some time, although they weren’t made publicly available.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has defended his administration and said “It’s not all bad news” and that the important thing was they listened to their workers.

Brisbane City Council will today reveal the final design for their Woolloongabba bikeway, running for 2.5km along Stanley St and Annerley Rd.

Construction on the project, which will eventually connect to the Kangaroo Point bikeway, is expected to begin in mid-2018.
