Hello, here's what's been happening in the news today.

The developer lobby group, Urban Taskforce, has warned the NSWstate government about the nimbyism (Not in my backyard - ism) attitude hel by local communities in regards to the proposed overhaul to the NSW planning laws which would see local communities have more power in how their community is to be developed.

However, they are perfectly fine with the community's YOLO attitude

Fans outside The Olsen hotel in Brisbane today were fooled by a Justin Bieber look-alike waving from a hotel room window, thinking that he was the real deal.


But from that far away, it is easy to mistake the baby that was waving for Justin Bieber.

The environmental group, Conservation International, today had posted a video today of a whale shark sucking fish from a hole in a fishing net.

The silverside baitfish screamed with joy at being freed, only to realise where they were headed.

The NSW school holidays are over and with students now returning to school, it has been predicted that traffic congestion in the state will now get even worse.

So if you thought that nothing could be worse than having your kids stuck in the backseat screaming 'are we there yet?' during the holidays, you were wrong.

A bear in Los Angeles that had achieved Twitter fame as 'TheGlendaleBear', attracting over 24, 000 followers on the social networking site, has been caught and released back into the wild.

There, Mr Grylls will continue filming the next season of 'Man vs Wild'

That's the news for today! See you tomorrow!
