Over 3000 live music industry members are calling upon the Federal Government for continued financial assistance in an open letter released yesterday.

The live music industry is calling for the JobKeeper wage subsidy to be extended beyond March, as music rights group APRA AMCOS says the industry is only running at 4 per cent capacity. 

"Each time there is another COVID-19 cluster or a quarantine breach, any plans to trade again are halted," the letter reads.

"We are an industry in crisis."

The Australian Marine Conservation Society has called on the Government to install cameras on gill-net fishing boats. 

Fisheries campaign manager Simon Miller says the onboard camera would show the public the volume of entanglements. 

"Gillnets are indiscriminate killers," Mr Miller said.

"They're very effective at catching fish, but they're largely invisible to lots of other species, like turtles and dugongs and sawfish."

A recycling depot run in rural north-west Queensland is now the state's largest collection area, and is diverting the funds back into its small communities. 

Without a Containers for Change depot nearby, local Annie Cork started her own for aluminium, glass and plastic in Normanton which would otherwise go to landfill.

The depot is covering 270,000 square kilometres, and has generated nearly 300,000 dollars for the community.

Major airlines have joined forces with the United Nations to support a mass COVID-19 vaccination plan.

Over 10 major airlines have signed up to UNICEF’s ‘Humanitarian Airfreight Initiative’ to deliver large volumes of vaccines, essential medicines and other critical supplies across the world. 

Airlines will cover routes to over 100 countries to achieve the global aim of equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.

Queensland residents will begin to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine from Monday onwards.

"The plan is for the first 100 vaccines of Pfizer to be given on the Gold Coast on Monday," said Premier Anastacia Palasczuk.

“Then we will be giving some vaccines to the PA [Princess Alexandra Hospital] on Wednesday and then Cairns on Friday.”

The initial stages of the roll out will target health care workers and aged care residents.
