MORE asbestos has been found in other sites around the Rozelle Interchange — this time on garden beds outside of Rozelle Parklands

🚨 🔥 Russia: Wildberries employees burned down the 100,000m² (25 acres) warehouse in Saint Petersburg in response to Putin's fascist raids at the location earlier today - masses of workers were arrested to be sent to fight in Ukraine. Wildberries is Russia's Amazon ripoff.
