Almost every household and business in NSW will have a weekly compost collection from July 2030, under proposed legislation to mandate food waste recycling and reduce landfill. Overriding a plea by the NSW Local Government Association not to mandate the frequency of collection, the bill says councils must collect food scraps weekly, either separately or in a combined “food organics garden organics” (FOGO) bin. Michelle Gray and her son Harry with their FOGO bin in Rose Bay. Credit: Wolter Peeters NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe said in her second reading of the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment (FOGO Recycling) Bill 2024 last month that stipulating the frequency of service would “ensure that households are not discouraged from using FOGO because of the decomposition of material before collection”. “We are aware of the smell issues – this mandated collection frequency aims to address that,” Sharpe said. The aim is to reduce the waste going to landfill, with space running out in Greater Sydney and some regional areas, and to reduce greenhouse emissions. Rotting organic material in landfill releases methane, which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide for global warming. Loading It comes as a leaked draft of the biannual review of the National Waste Policy Action Plan suggests Australia is unlikely to meet a number of its waste targets, including the goal to halve the amount of organic waste going to landfill by 2030. The report, obtained by the Herald, found 28 per cent of local governments across the country provide FOGO services, and 15 per cent provide garden-only bin collection. Yet, the amount of organic waste going to landfill rose by 3 per cent to 5.89 megatonnes between 2016-17 and 2021-22. The bill also includes mandates for businesses, which is believed to be a first in Australia. A NSW Environment Protection Authority spokesperson said the introduction of the bill meant the state was “leading Australia in food waste reduction”, promising a statewide education campaign to support the new laws. Sharpe said the bill was necessary to reduce the amount of organic waste going into landfill. “There is no beating about the bush – Greater Sydney is running out of landfill. Our recycling rates have stagnated at 2016 levels,” Sharpe told parliament. “There are problems in regional areas too – areas like Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour are also predicted to reach capacity within the decade.” Michelle Gray says FOGO has been “a good learning experience” for her children. Credit: Wolter Peeters On average, food waste makes up more than a third of the material in NSW household red (general rubbish) bins, Sharpe said, and applying the mandates to all households could divert almost 950,000 tonnes of FOGO waste from landfill each year. The EPA spokesperson said, after a decade of government support, there were at least 32 industrial-scale compost facilities in NSW, and the mandates would encourage further investment. For Sydney councils already offering FOGO, the rollout has been bumpy at times. Residents have reported missed bin collections, leading to stench and fly infestations. Moves to reduce general waste collection to fortnightly , as the Inner West Council did last year, are also controversial. Separating food scraps will not be a problem for the Gray household in Rose Bay. Michelle Gray, her husband and her three children are part of a Waverley Council FOGO trial. Previously, the family composted fruit and vegetable scraps at home but sent the remains of eggs, dairy, meat, bread and grains to landfill. Now it all goes in the green (FOGO) bin. “I really liked doing it ourselves, but I also like knowing other people are doing it, so there’s a collective reduction in landfill,” Gray said. Loading “It’s been a good learning experience for [the kids] as well. Kids adapt a lot quicker than adults, and they know that when they finish eating their dinner, their waste goes into FOGO now.” As a former local councillor, Gray is aware of the pushback from some residents but believes it is necessary for environmental reasons. From July 2030, councils must offer a weekly organic waste bin collection and ensure the waste is not contaminated during transport, or face penalties of up to $500,000, or $50,000 a day. The Local Government Association’s submission to the EPA in July opposed fines. Rules for businesses and other institutions will be phased in from 2026 to 2030 and there will be similar fines. There are no fines for households. The bill also requires large supermarkets to record their food donations monthly from July 2026, and permits the EPA to publish the figures. Sharpe told parliament that fines reflected the importance of the mandates, but the approach would not be “draconian”, and there would be exemptions where needed. The Coalition supported development of FOGO while in government but does not yet have a position on the bill. The Greens are yet to examine the bill in detail but welcomed the issue being on the agenda.

There’s a cost to Nebraska football embracing its 34-year tradition of Black Friday games. A chance to reflect much, for one thing. Or celebrate, for another. NU on Saturday ended a 10-game losing streak to Wisconsin and a seven-season bowl drought in one fell swoop, but when the Huskers reconvened Monday, a short week of preparation for a nasty rival stared them right in the face. “We haven’t even had a team meeting since the game,” Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said at his weekly press conference. “We walked in today, 8 o’clock, and it’s Iowa special teams (prep). No time for ‘hey, great job.’ There’s no time for it.” Bad memories still linger in the Huskers’ minds, though. The Hawkeyes have won eight of the last nine in this series — six of those by one score, including last year, a 13-10 gut punch that kept Nebraska from making a bowl. If Iowa blew kisses at NU in 2019 on a game-winning field goal, they did something else in 2023. People are also reading... “Their players are waving at our guys — ‘hey, have a good Christmas!’ — that was painful,” Rhule said. “That was really painful. So I don’t doubt that our guys will be ready. But their guys will be ready. It really just comes down to football.” Win the turnover battle. Block and tackle well. Make plays when they’re available. Execute the way offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen wants. To focus on those things — without the psychological pressure of a long December hanging over the program’s head — is a nice bonus to clinching the bowl before heading to Kinnick Stadium for a 6:30 p.m. game on NBC. The temps will be in the 20s; Nebraska, practicing outside most of the year, is prepared for that. Iowa’s offense, though fitted with a new coordinator, resembles a more effective version of the Hawkeyes’ recent attacks, with a blend of power and zone runs executed by running back Kaleb Johnson, second nationally in rush yards. Iowa ranks first in the Big Ten — and 13 th nationally — in rushing yards per game. “They’ve run some people off the field just by running the football down their throat,” Rhule said. So, Iowa is Iowa is Iowa. It was Iowa 10 years ago, when it lost 37-34 to Nebraska two days before the firing of Bo Pelini. It was Iowa two years ago on the day it lost to NU just as the school was finalizing a deal for Rhule. And at 7-4 overall — 5-3 in the Big Ten — this season, it is Iowa now. Nebraska, on the other hand, moved from a program with no bowl berths this decade to at least one this winter. It saw, in its win over Wisconsin, a work ethic rewarded, a process confirmed and a rare midseason offensive coordinator hire vindicated. “They know that they can do it, they know they’re capable of it,” Rhule said. “So let’s continue to do it. That’s the expectation now. What was once possible, now we know we can do it, so let’s do it.” Rhule anticipates Nebraska’s roster will be healthier after the flu ran through the team last week, and NU’s offense now manages playing time the way the Husker defensive coaches have — by who practices well during the week. That translated into backups who got more snaps against Wisconsin than other games this season — Emmett Johnson, Luke Lindenmeyer and Nate Boerkircher — and who stood more often on the sideline. That’s Holgorsen’s effect, to some degree, and it’s the new price of success. "Dana's brought a standard, offensively, that, I'm not going to say we didn't have before,” Rhule said, “but he has the experience to kind of follow through on it that will be good for us all to learn from.” The lessons learned in a game are the lessons learned in a season, Rhule said. The week is short, the prep is detailed and Iowa is Iowa. Who might Nebraska be? “We have to make sure the football’s right,” Rhule said.

The decision by special counsel Jack Smith, who had fiercely sought to hold Mr Trump criminally accountable for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, represented the end of the federal effort against the former president following his election victory this month despite the election-related cases and multiple other unrelated criminal charges against him. The move, announced in court papers, marks the end of the Justice Department’s landmark effort to hold Mr Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. In court papers, prosecutors said the Justice Department’s position “is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”. Mr Smith’s team emphasised that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Mr Smith’s team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Mr Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Mr Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated and has vowed to fire Mr Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. However, it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Mr Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The US Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Mr Smith’s team filed a lengthy brief in October laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.Is a liberal arts degree useless if you want to succeed in life?
