Commonwealth Games Facial Recognition to Stay
The Queensland Government won’t reveal what future use it has in mind for facial recognition software, which was put in place for the Commonwealth Games.
Civil liberties campaigners say that the Government’s refusal to reveal their future plans for the software is a disturbing development in mass surveillance.
Recently, facial recognition software was reportedly used by Chinese authorities to identify a man in a crowd of 60,000 concert-goers.

Jaala: Joonya Spirit
- Jaala’s sophomore release has been pretty hotly anticipated. Debut Hard Hold was 3RRR Album of the week, and had glowing reviews on Pitchfork and JJJ, so you can see why there’s been some buzz building around this Brisbane native. With good reason: Jaala has the smartest guitar-brain going anywhere in Australian music right now. Marry that with full-blown music-nerd rhythmic patterns, complex chords, and algebraic harmonic structures, and there’s kinda no-one who can come at her.

Breaking through to a new theatre market is extremely difficult but critical for its longevity. shake & stir have continually hooked new audience members and the importance of this is not to be taken lightly.
