It's a real shame that Govts invariably consult educated experts rather than than pragmatists who actually know.
Until we all come to see waste as a resource rather than waste, we'll not make progress in anything.
Waste is volume, energy, keeps our living space clean etc etc. Instead of worrying about where to put our waste we should think where we can use it in a practical way.
Sea walls could be made from waste. Artificial reefs to attract marine life could be made from waste. The possibilities are more than we can list !

How about burning it to generate electricity ?

Our governments have had a National Waste policy
since 2009. An updated National Waste Policy was
published in 2018.

The Department of Agriculture, Water and the
environment tells us that the National Waste Policy
"provides a national framework for waste resource
recovery in Australia. It outlines roles and
responsibilities for collective action by businesses,
governments, communities, and individuals. The National
policy guides continuing collaboration between the
Australian governments, businesses, and industries".

It does not remove the risks for governments, businesses,
and industries to implement tailoured in response to local
and regional communities.

On a not really related matter, I heard on the BBC radio program News Hour last night
that in a Mozambique village an Initiation Ceremony for village boys was
being held when it was attacked by Islamists.
In the incident 20 boys were decapitated.
I could not find any item in the BBC news web pages and there has been
no reports that I have heard on Australian TV or radio.
Has anyone heard other reports ?

Sorry that went into the wrong thread, I have no idea how that happened !
Anyway, now it is here let me know if you heard about it.

Foxy,
i have googled this but haven't seen anything that looks like a practical solution in place.
