A plan to build soccer pitches on part of Australia’s second oldest national park is failing to get public support, despite it only occupying a fraction of the land formerly used for the Belair Golf Course.
Key points:
- The state government is seeking feedback to its latest proposal for the former Belair Golf Course site
- The majority of 105 respondents have so far opposed a proposal for multiple soccer pitches and a clubroom
- Feedback on the 51-hectare site proposal are being sought by the public until May 5
The SA government revealed earlier this month its draft master plan for the south-west corner of the Belair National Park (BNP) site, where 51 hectares of land has been left in limbo since the golf course and country club function centre …

The move meets key demand by international financial institutions to help Sudans transitional authorities overhaul its battered economy.
The Central Bank of Sudan has sharply devalued the currency, announcing a new regime to unify official and black-market exchange rates in an effort to overcome a crippling economic crisis and access debt relief.
The change on Sunday is a key reform demanded by foreign donors and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but was delayed for months as shortages of basic goods and rapid inflation complicated a fragile political transition.
The central bank set the indicative rate at 375 pounds to the US dollar, several commercial banking sources said, from a previous official rate of 55 pounds. Recently, …

Boris Johnson should use his presidency of the G7 this year to insist that UK banks take part in the global push to alleviate a new developing country debt crisis, a campaign group has urged.
The Jubilee Debt Campaign (JDC) said there was a special responsibility on Britain to act, as it released new figures showing that London-based banks were the largest owners of debt issued by poor countries.
With steps being taken in New York to make debt restructuring easier, the JDC said the UK was now the most important country when it came to unblocking multilateral debt relief efforts.
The president of the World Bank, David Malpass, has urged private lenders to take part voluntarily in a debt suspension scheme orchestrated by the G20 group of lead…

If you have multiple streams of debt, like high-interest credit cards, medical bills or personal loans, debt consolidation can combine them into one fixed monthly payment.
Getting a debt consolidation loan or using a balance transfer credit card can make sense if it lowers your annual percentage rate. But refinancing debt has pros and cons even at a lower rate.
Pros of debt consolidation
You could receive a lower rate
The biggest advantage of debt consolidation is paying off your debt at a lower interest rate, which saves money and could eliminate the debt faster.
For example, if you have $9,000 in total debt with a combined APR of 25% and a combined monthly payment of $500, youll pay $2,500 in interest over about two years.
But if y…

The Australian Electoral Commission has dropped a case against former far-right senator, Fraser Anning, because it has been unable to locate him.
In November the AEC brought an action seeking a penalty of up to $26,640 against Anning in the federal court for his alleged failure to lodge an annual financial return for the 2018-19 financial year, as required under electoral law.
On 16 February, the federal court granted leave to discontinue the case against Anning. An AEC spokesperson told Guardian Australia there was a comprehensive search undertaken to locate Mr Anning in Australia but when this failed the AEC asked the court to discontinue the proceedings.
As Mr Anning was unable to be located, is believed to be overseas, and has not resp…
