In short:

Australia has more than 250 data centres and more in the pipeline, prompting experts to warn against using drinking water to cool servers.

An Australian bank has frozen the accounts of a prominent Neo-Nazi leader, while a US-based technology firm has blocked the group's attempts to solicit donations online.

The nation's corporate watchdog has also revoked the group's proposed company name, "White Australia".

Despite these actions, the Neo-Nazi organisation claims it has collected 1,495 of the 1,500 signatures required to register as a federal political party.

Anyone else find it odd that this article doesn't contain the word 'Trump' even once?

Whether Epstein was “well” or not in October 2011 is not known but what is is that the world knew who he was a sex offender.

Good grief! I guess news.com.au fired all the sub-editors?

Incurable once you're symptomatic, and, to be totally clear for anyone not aware, invariably fatal. It's a horrible death, too. Also, the incubation period can be anywhere from a few weeks to two years.

The ABC article could have benefited from making that clearer. It calls the virus 'deadly', but doesn't impress upon the reader just how deadly.

Whether Pocock, individually, is in or out is pretty irrelevant to ordinary Australians, yeah, and there's probably a bit too much of the word count spent on that aspect. However, that MPs' leisure activities are being funded by the gambling lobby and other corporates does seem worth public scrutiny.
