Here’s what’s making headlines elsewhere today:
Good morning readers, and welcome to our live news blog for Thursday, August 27.
Making headlines today is a development in the ongoing stink about a major Perth tip on the verge of closure.
The City of Perth will seek assistance from the state government for a “practical closure pathway” for Tamala Park Waste Facility after excess leachate in the landfill grew to almost 40 Optus Stadiums.
The City is one of seven member councils that takes its residential waste to the facility which accepts up to a third of Perth’s household waste.
