Tennis star Novak Djokovic facing deportation from Australia

Jan 7 2022

World tennis number one, Novak Djokovic will be facing a hearing next Monday to see whether he will be deported from Australia or not. The Serb arrived in Australia last Wednesday to try and defend his Australian Open championship. He wasn’t allowed to leave the airport due to insufficient documentations and as he didn’t “provide appropriate evidence” of double vaccination or a medical exemption.

There has been many speculation whether the anti-vax Novak Djokovic would be allowed to particpate. All questions were supposedly answered when the player joyfully announced that he had gained an unexpected medical exemption to play.

The 34-year old is currently being kept in the Park Hotel in Melbourne, with his mother stating that her son is struggling to sleep in the “terrible accommodation”. Many of his fans have also gathered outside of his hotel to show their support for their favourite tennis player.

The player’s father has come out with some statement saying “This has nothing to do with sports, this is a political agenda. Novak is the best player and the best athlete in the world, but several hundred million people from the west can’t stomach that.”

Paulina Dembska’s name added to University bench in remembrance of victims of gender-based violence

Jan 7 2022

After falling victim to a brutal murder on January 2nd, Polish language student and beloved member of the community Paulina Dembska’s name has been etched on a University bench which remembers victims of gender-based violence.

In 2020, the University Student Council KSU had installed the bench on the Quadrangle with the aim of raising awareness on gender-balance violence and remembering the women who fell victim to such acts. The names of these brave women are etched and immortalised on the bench, which was painted purple to increase awareness on domestic violence.

In a recent post on KSU’s page, the council rightfully stated that “violence against women and girls remains, one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world” and “Paulina’s senseless killing must not be forgotten.”

RIP Paulina.

BMW’s latest concept car actually changes colour and people are losing it

Jan 7 2022

The year is 2021 and while flying cars aren’t exactly a thing yet, BMW’s latest colour-changing concept car is giving people a taste of the future and they’re loving it.

The BMW Flow electric SUV concept can change between black, white and gray and the press of a button thanks to specially-created wrapping along the vehicle’s body. Rather than paint, the SUV’s wrapping is made with e-ink technology similar to that used in e-readers, with electric wiring fixed to each section.

The panels contain millions of tiny capsules with positively-charged black pigments and negatively-charged white pigments, with electric currents allowing the driver to change the car’s hues at will. BMW did not announce any intentions to bring such technology to production vehicles but did acknowledge the benefits of car’s having such features… stealth mode anyone?
