Known for blending supernatural suspense with ’80s nostalgia, Stranger Things is set to continue this mix in its final chapter, with each episode reportedly packed with content and possibly extending to feature-length, according to cast member Maya Hawke.

Season 5’s production was delayed due to recent writers’ and actors’ strikes, resuming in January. New characters are expected to join the Hawkins crew, with the iconic Linda Hamilton from Terminator in a prominent role, along with Nell Fisher, Alex Breaux, and Jake Connelly, promising fresh dynamics and tensions.

With its late-’80s setting confirmed, fans can look forward to a thrilling finale that combines horror, nostalgia, and emotional depth, encapsulating the elements that have made Stranger Things a cultural phenomenon.

Netflix has confirmed that this season will wrap up the show’s narrative arc, making for a fitting farewell to the series.

PL Embraces Wasted Food Project Proposed By Pn Opposition State

Nov 7 2024

The Nationalist Opposition has expressed that, after proposing a bill on food waste over a year and a half ago, the Labour Government has now chosen to adopt it within the 2025 Budget.

During a press conference held by Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries Toni Bezzina, alongside Shadow Minister for Social and Affordable Housing, Pensions, and the Fight Against Poverty Ivan Bartolo, the Opposition highlighted the timeline of their initiative.

They noted that in May 2023, they presented a bill to Parliament aimed at reducing food waste by reallocating unused food to those in need. This measure would not only address food insecurity but also mitigate the environmental impact of food waste.

The Nationalist Party claims that, rather than acting immediately on this proposal, the Government delayed its adoption, only now incorporating it into the upcoming budget plan.

Water Services And Civil Protection Partner Up To Enhance Emergency Responses

Nov 7 2024

The Water Services Corporation (WSC) and the Civil Protection Department (CPD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance public safety and emergency response in Malta and Gozo.

This agreement focuses on two main objectives: the installation and upkeep of fire hydrants and specialized training for WSC staff.

Through this partnership, WSC will install and maintain fire hydrants at key locations, which will be managed by CPD in emergencies.

In return, CPD will offer essential firefighting and safety training to WSC personnel, creating a stronger, more coordinated response capability.

Minister for the Environment, Energy, and Regeneration Miriam Dalli praised the agreement, calling it a “commitment to public safety and operational efficiency.”

WSC CEO Karl Cilia and CPD Director General Peter Paul Coleiro highlighted the collaboration’s value in reducing emergency response times and preparing both agencies to work seamlessly together.

The MOU takes effect immediately and will initially run for two years, with automatic renewal provisions.

Australia Set To Introduce Social Media Ban For Under 16s

Nov 7 2024

Australia plans to introduce legislation banning social media use for children under 16, aiming to protect young users from online harm.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasised the government’s responsibility to safeguard children, stating that the law is a response to parental concerns over online safety.

The ban will not apply retroactively to existing young users, and there will be no exemptions, even with parental consent. Social media platforms will be required to demonstrate compliance, enforced by the eSafety Commissioner.

The law, if passed, would be enacted a year later and reviewed over time.

The legislation has sparked debate. While some experts agree social media negatively affects adolescent mental health, others argue that an outright ban might only delay children’s exposure to these platforms, rather than preparing them to navigate them responsibly.

Advocacy groups, including the Australian Child Rights Taskforce, argue that enforcing safety standards rather than banning access could provide safer engagement with digital spaces, as recommended by the UN.

However, supporters, like the grassroots 36Months initiative, contend that a ban is necessary, citing concerns about mental health and exposure to harmful content. Albanese dismissed education-only approaches, highlighting the unequal influence of tech companies on young minds.
