Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols....
I was thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure you need to sign the documentation after double checking what the registrar has put down. We have up to 6 weeks too to register the birth if you haven't had chance to decide on a name yet.

MPs will seek to make water company bosses criminally liable for sewage spills under plans to amend legislation making its way through Parliament this week....
I don't think they are, they're more akin to forums.
In my mind, social media is where you follow people and people broadcast their lives. That's the social aspect of it.
With Reddit and Lemmy we follow communities on topics we're interested in.
I do get the arguments for it to be social media but that just makes the category way too broad, as you could argue any site with a comment section is social media.
How is this a controversial take? If you need a wall to keep people in or attempting to emigrate makes you a "defector", or you've built up a huge surveillance network where your neighbours or even partners can report you for bullshit "crimes" , you're an authoritarian state.
Car manufacturers have called for urgent action to reignite the switch to electric vehicles, after sales figures showed slowing demand among ordinary motorists for battery-powered cars....
This is essentially it. The surge in demand probably came from company cars and those who can afford to buy expensive cars, but now that demand has been met then sales have dropped off. We're not yet in the market to replace our car but I do keep an eye on things, and every time I look at a new EV, they're like 30 or 40k over what I'd be willing to pay.
I imagine it's an issue of economies of scale, they're more expensive because they're producing less than ICE vehicles; the only way to get them cheaper would be for some heavy government subsidies.
Those aren't compliant. The reject all needs to be as prominent as the accept all option without any additional clicks. So many sites get it wrong it's insane!
I've heard people doing this and then getting black listed from the entire banking system. Can't open bank accounts, access any credit, and the banks don't have to tell you why you're blacklisted. It's supposed to be very very difficult to undo.
Chicken burgers with a home made sauce made up of mayo, sriracha, ketchup and lemon juice, with sweet potato fries. My son will have southern fried Quorn burgers instead.
Starting to realise this almost sounds like an ad but I promise it's not! My son hasn't been veggie long so meal planning has become so much more difficult!
It's the first time I've had it and it was ok, better than I expected. The only thing is that it doesn't release those delicious oils that proper chorizo gives out. But yeah, chorizo is really unhealthy but so tasty. Any time a recipe asks for 75g,I just chuck the entire lot in!
Wet wipes containing plastic are finally set to be banned across the UK as ministers warn a ‘step change’ is needed to protect the country’s rivers....
We used to use re-usable cloth wipes for a while with our first. They were OK but honestly wet wipes were so much more convenient, in that they seemed to do a better job of cleaning and also you don't have to faff about storing them and washing them etc.
