Police disappointed...

There's a huge dance party on in Brisbane tonight for New Years' Eve.

Sniffer dogs have been deployed with police to crack down on drugs at the party.

There have been many people caught with drugs

Police are disappointed...

Yeah. Not as disappointed as the people caught with drugs... first they're caught. Next their drugs are confiscated, and last, they have a little date with the magistrate.

Fun night, huh!

Clover Moore's carbon neutral Sydney Fireworks

Some say fireworks are a huge indulgence. Sydney Mayor, Clover Moore, has bought indulgences for this indulgence.

The city's celebration for the first time will be carbon neutral, with The City of Sydney Council ordering a carbon audit into its all New Year's Eve activities.

It will measure emissions from fuels and fireworks used during the event, electricity consumption and waste created in the lead-up to and during the big party.

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the council would then offset the emissions by purchasing environmentally-friendly power and carbon credits.

Is there truly a way to measure all the CO2, or carbon as they now sweepingly call it, emitted during an event like this?

I'm not a fireworks person - F111 dump and burn, yee-har. Fireworks? Nah, not so much. However, I don't begrudge those who enjoy fireworks.
