Kiwi wars: the golden fruit fuelling a feud between New Zealand and China
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...land-and-china

In the mid 2010s, a kiwi grower took the lucrative secret of a New Zealand golden strain and smuggled it to China. Thousands of hectares of illicit orchards have since sprung up, and New Zealand has spent years scrambling to protect its intellectual property. Now the stark choices facing the country’s growers also reveal wider challenges for the country’s relationship with its largest trading partner.

An investigation traced the source to Haoyu Gao, an enterprising man who had bought a kiwi orchard in Opotiki, a tiny town in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty. According to court documents, he smuggled a precious cargo of budwood to Sichuan, where he hawked female sprouts for NZ$60,000 a lot. In the end, however, the gamble did not pay off. He denied wrongdoing, but New Zealand’s high court ruled against him and ordered him to pay NZ$14m in damages.

Zespri won the courtroom battle, but it lost the war to control the spread of Gold3 through China. Its attempts to take subsequent legal action have fizzled without strong support from the government in Beijing, and in the meantime Gold3 vines have spread. In a recent report to growers, Zespri wrote that the area under illicit cultivation had doubled between 2019 and 2021 to more than 5,200 hectares.

There’s a certain irony to New Zealand having kiwi strains co-opted in China. The fruit was, after all, originally Chinese, and came to New Zealand in 1904. It thrived in the local climate, and the country began exporting it in the 1950s. In a moment of marketing genius, exporters coined the term “kiwifruit” after New Zealand’s iconic bird, with whom it shares a fuzzy brown exterior.

nude sunbathers fleeing deer fined for breaking Sydney lockdown
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...ydney-lockdown

It is unclear how the deer startled the men, and what made them dash into the bush to escape it.

Authorities located a 30-year-old man naked and carrying a backpack on the walking track near Lady Wakehurst Drive in the Royal national park, about 40km south of Sydney’s city centre.

After a further search, they were also able to find a 49-year-old man, who was “partially clothed” according to a statement from NSW police.

The men told officers they had been on a nearby beach when they ran into bushland after being startled by a deer.

The men were taken to St George police station and issued the fines for the breach of public health orders that prohibit residents of greater Sydney from travelling outside the city.

The NSW police commissioner, Mick Fuller, told reporters about the sunbathers at the press conference, saying it was “difficult to legislate against idiots”.

“But, again, they both received a $1,000 fine.”

The 53-year-old man arrived in Perth from Brisbane on 27 June. He was ordered to quarantine for 14 days and said he would quarantine at his home in Scarborough.

In addition to tradespeople, the man also invited members of the public to his home to buy items he had been selling on an online platform.

Fears for Fairfield, Liverpool and Canterbury Bankstown residents
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...covid-outbreak

The decision to prevent residents from Fairfield, Liverpool and Canterbury Bankstown local government areas leaving for work, unless they are health or emergency services workers, was taken after a significant proportion of the state’s positive cases were recorded there (80 of 111 on Saturday, 60 of which were in Fairfield).

Man arrested after dramatic escape from Perth hotel quarantine
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...tel-quarantine

After arriving in the west coast city on a flight from Brisbane, the man had his application for entry refused under the state’s Covid-19 border rules.

The man was told to leave the state within 48 hours and taken to a hotel for temporary quarantine, but just before 1am local time on Tuesday “he climbed out a window of the fourth floor room using a rope made of bed sheets and fled the area”, Western Australia Police said in a Facebook post.

The police posted photos of the makeshift rope hanging from a window on the brick building’s top floor down to the street.

Police arrested the man across town about eight hours later, and charged him with failing to comply with a direction and providing “false/misleading information”. They did not disclose the man’s identity except to say that he was aged 39 and tested negative for Covid, nor did they give a reason for his alleged actions.

The policy has, however, brought with it a series of escapes, including a woman accused this month of climbing down two balconies and kicking in a door to evade quarantine in north-east city of Cairns.

Cockatoos in Sydney learning from each other to bin-dive for food
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...od-study-finds

The sulphur-crested cockatoo is a highly intelligent parrot species notorious in Australia for its loud screeching and sometimes destructive behaviour. It is one of few known non-human species capable of dancing in time to music, as in the case of the viral sensation Snowball, the dancing cockatoo.

Following the survey, the researchers marked and observed 486 cockatoos. In direct observations, they found only around 10% of the birds, most of whom were male, were capable of opening the bins. The rest of the cockatoos waited until bins were opened to share in the spoils.

The process of a cockatoo swinging open a wheelie bin lid is “quite tricky both from a motor action and a physical strength perspective”, Klump said. “It’s a very complex and multi-step sequence that they have to learn.”

The cockatoos also seemed to differentiate between red-lidded general waste bins and yellow-lidded recycling bins based on their colour. When observed, 88.8% of the time the birds opened the general waste bins.
