Hemp crops can be used to mop up troublesome sewage effluent that would otherwise be dumped at sea, say Australian researchers. A team led by eco-technologist Dr Keith Bolton from Southern Cross University in Lismore, New South Wales, is analysing hemp from a one hectare crop harvested from land next to a public sewage treatment works. His team is testing the hemp to see how well it acts as a 'mop crop', a crop that absorbs sewage once it has been treated at a sewage treatment plant. Mop crops have become an increasingly popular alternative to dumping sewage effluent in the ocean, said Bolton. Byron Bay residents had been strongly opposed to a proposed local …

TWENTY-four soldiers and nine sailors have been thrown out of the Australian Defence Force for abusing drugs -- and the careers of several Townsville soldiers are also on the line. The sackings follow drug raids on the Northern Territory-based 1 Brigade, which prompted a nationwide crackdown on drug abuse in the ranks. It is also likely that a number of soldiers who tested positive for drugs at Townsville will also be sacked. Chief of Army Lieutenant-General Peter Leahy said yesterday 47 soldiers tested positive as a result of the raids at Robertson Barracks, near Darwin, late last year. Ninety-seven soldiers were tested out of 3598 personnel. General Leahy …
