PM was invited to golf club photo-op when news of his membership broke

Documents show Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was invited to a media event celebrating a $6 million upgrade to Marrickville Golf Club, five days before the ABC reported he held an undisclosed honorary membership. The event did not go ahead. Albanese told parliament the grant would fix a sewerage problem, but a department brief did not mention sewerage and instead described clubhouse, bar and revenue upgrades. Opposition Infrastructure spokesperson Bridget McKenzie accused him of misleading parliament.

Sewerage upgrades to hit Eurobodalla budget

Council is facing a $62 million bill to upgrade the Tomakin Sewerage Treatment Plant, a report to council has revealed. A further $12 million is needed to divert wastewater from Batemans Bay to Tomakin, and $5 million to optimise the Batemans Bay plant. The Batemans Bay plant is at capacity, so Tomakin has been taking the excess waste. Council says its long-term strategy relies on upgrading Tomakin to increase regional capacity, with the work to proceed alongside the diversion and the Batemans Bay upgrade.

Council warning: ‘Nightclub smoke’ to billow from Aussie backyards

Thousands of households are being warned that artificial smoke may billow from lawns and roof vents over coming weeks. Unitywater crews are pumping non-toxic vapour through wastewater pipes to find illegal connections, leaks and defects. Residents in targeted suburbs around Moreton Bay will receive letters two weeks before testing. Property owners found with defects will need a licensed plumber to make repairs, with fines of up to $32,000 possible for illegal plumbing work. Other utilities across the country, including Sydney Water, are running similar testing programs.
