The Libyan Dam Collapse Disaster

On September 11, 2023 a once- in-a-thousand-year storm dumped an unprecedented level of rainfall across eastern Libya. It rapidly filled up the reservoirs behind two dams placed along a seasonal river that led into the Libyan city of Durna, which at that time had a population of around 90,000 people. One after the other, the enormous water loads placed on each of the dams proved too much for them to bear, leading to their catastrophic failures, which send a titanic surge of water tumbling down through the valley directly toward the city as if it were a tsunami.

New era begins as parliament opens

Australian politicians have marked the beginning of a new era as the 48th federal parliament opened in Canberra. Veteran MPs and fresh-faced senators alike sat shoulder to shoulder marked on the pews of the Wesley Uniting Church as they marked the opening of the parliamentary year in Canberra on Tuesday. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hoped for the health and wellbeing of all Australians during the church service, and remarked on the tradition as a “wonderful way” to start the term.
