 A whale that became entangled in shark nets on the Gold Coast has now been freed. The sub-adult humpback whale was spotted by beachgoers off Currumbin early this morning. Local John Gordon was among those who alerted authorities before paddling out to the whale. He said the whale did not look in a great way. “I suspect it’s been caught through the night because it’s not frantic, it’s almost running out of gas,” Mr Gordon told Seven.

 Agritourism operators in south-east Queensland's Scenic Rim region are asking tourists to sign waivers — and some to avoid their properties altogether — due to increased vigilance about the threat of foot-and-mouth disease.  Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) affects pigs, cattle, goats and sheep. It was detected in Indonesia in May and spread to Bali earlier this month, prompting fears a tourist could carry the disease into Australia on clothing or footwear. In the worst-case scenario, billions would have to be spent on a national response while scores of painfully diseased cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats could be culled.

 While the economics of electric buses may make them an increasingly irresistible public transport option, year 4 student Annabelle Nicolson has a different reason for liking her new electrified ride to school. "If the gas from the bus goes into the air, then we, and the plants and the animals, can get sick," she said. Annabelle will be among the first students at Hillcrest Christian College to ride on its new electric bus as part of an upcoming trial. The trial is the only one of its type on the Gold Coast, with the school hoping to transition its fleet over five years.
