After a few hours or days, the koalas will eventually climb down from one tree to seek tasty leaves on another, and wander into the harmless traps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#039;s hard to confuse a koala with any other animals - they&#039;re pretty easy to spot,\u201d says Jodie Wakeman, veterinary care and clinical director at Friends of the Koala, a non-profit that runs a wildlife hospital where the koalas are being brought for vaccination.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"4588754,4432342\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem toReplace\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.nbcnews.com//news//world//video-shows-koalas-other-animals-hurt-australia-s-fires-getting-n1113436/" data-publish-at=\"1578668820\" data-url=\"video-shows-koalas-other-animals-hurt-australia-s-fires-getting-n1113436\">Video shows koalas, other animals hurt in Australia's fires getting help<\/a><\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2020//03//24//koalas-saved-from-australian-wildfires-released-back-into-natural-habitat/">Koalas saved from Australian wildfires released back into natural habitat<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After a check-up to make sure the animals are in good condition, researchers administer anaesthesia and shots of vaccine, then keep them under observation for 24 hours after they wake up to confirm there are no unexpected side effects, says Wakeman.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to vaccinate healthy koalas to prevent them from becoming infected with chlamydia.<\/p>\n<p>Before release, the researchers mark the koalas with a dab of pink dye on their backs, to ensure the same animals aren\u2019t caught twice.<\/p>\n<p>When the first vaccinated koala was returned to her habitat in March, the scientists placed her cage at the base of a tree and opened the door.

each year around the world, and their total number has nearly halved since the onset of human civilisation. \n\nAustralia is now taking steps to address this issue by making sure new residential areas are built without indiscriminately chopping down trees. \n\nThe Western Australian government has introduced new planning laws to require a minimum number of trees for any new residential development. \n\nAdditionally, 15 per cent of a building site will need to be dedicated to \"soft landscaping,\" such as a lawn, with the requirement lowered to 10 per cent if an important tree is preserved. \n\nSustainable infill development \n\nAhead of the new planning laws, which will take effect in September, a sustainable building consultancy, the Forever Project, has already managed to build a workable example. \n\nIn an area of 800 m2 in Perth, four houses and a shed are nestled under a lush tree canopy. \n\nAbout 40 trees thrive in this urban setting, keeping the homes cool and providing safe habitats for wild animals and birds. \n\nRecent research in Central Europe has found that the shade provided by trees can lower the surface temperature of cities in the summer by up to 12\u00b0C. \n\n\"The urban forest is so precious, and it's such an important part of what makes our community liveable. It gets sacrificed, we believe, because that's the only way we can do infill,\" said Chris Ferreira, Founder of the Forever Project. \n\nInfill development involves building in vacant or under-used land lots within urban areas. \n\nLocal authorities hope the new rules will help convince people of the benefits of keeping trees. \n\n\"In many of the developments in the past, the entire block is either roof cover or paving, so we need to encourage tree canopy, and ensure that there's more shade, cooler suburbs, and also places for animals and birds,\" said Western Australian Planning Minister Rita Saffioti. \n\nFor more on this story, watch the video in the media player above. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>It\u2019s estimated that about 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the world, and their total number has nearly halved since the onset of human civilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Australia is now taking steps to address this issue by making sure new residential areas are built without indiscriminately chopping down trees.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Australian government has introduced new planning laws to require a minimum number of trees for any new residential development.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, 15 per cent of a building site will need to be dedicated to \"soft landscaping,\" such as a lawn, with the requirement lowered to 10 per cent if an important tree is preserved.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7356942\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//01//30//this-mega-lab-can-create-sun-snow-wind-and-rain-all-to-work-out-how-to-build-better-houses/">This mega-lab can create sun, snow, wind and rain - all to work out how to build better houses<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Sustainable infill development<\/h2><p>Ahead of the new planning laws, which will take effect in September, a sustainable building consultancy, the Forever Project, has already managed to build a workable example.<\/p>\n<p>In an area of 800 m2 in Perth, four houses and a shed are nestled under a lush tree canopy.<\/p>\n<p>About 40 trees thrive in this urban setting, keeping the homes cool and providing safe habitats for wild animals and birds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//34815395///">Recent research<\/strong><\/a> in Central Europe has found that the shade provided by trees can lower the surface temperature of cities in the summer by up to 12\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>\"The urban forest is so precious, and it&#039;s such an important part of what makes our community liveable.

filed a human rights complaint against 20 large pension funds over their investments in two \u201ccatastrophic\u201d gas projects. \n\nThe traditional landowners of the Tiwi Islands near Darwin, and the Pilliga Forest northwest of Sydney , claim the funds have an \u201cobligation to prevent adverse human rights impacts of companies in which they are invested.\u201d \n\nOil and gas giant Santos is seeking to extract gas from these culturally and environmentally significant areas, under its Barossa and Narrabri projects. \n\n\u201cWe will not allow [the forest] to be damaged or desecrated to a point where it will not return to its natural state,\u201d says Karra Kinchela, a Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \u201cWith at least 90 cultural sites, the most abundant wildlife and biodiversity, there is no other place like it in Australia.\u201d \n\nTiwi Islander, Larrakia and Gomeroi First Nations peoples - represented by Equity Generation Lawyers - have filed their complaint directly with the superannuation funds. They are joined by members of the funds who have requested information about their investments. \n\nAustralia \u2019s top 20 super funds, including AustralianSuper, REST Super and Hostplus, collectively manage more than \u20ac1 trillion of members\u2019 retirement savings. \n\nEnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) issues have increasingly influenced investors in funds and companies. In 2020, mining giant Rio Tinto was forced to make management changes after it destroyed sacred rock shelters at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia for an iron ore mine. \n\nWhat environmental damage could Santos\u2019s projects cause? \n\nIndigenous communities say the Barossa and Narrabri gas projects will threaten their culture, livelihood, and risk damage to the environment - including affecting the breeding patterns and nesting grounds of animals. \n\nThe Barossa project, worth around \u20ac2.15 billion, is an offshore gas production project northwest of Darwin that will supply an onshore liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) facility via a 385km undersea pipeline. It aims to start delivering LNG in 2025. \n\nOf a similar value, the Narrabri project is a coal seam gas venture that could provide half of New South Wales\u2019s gas needs once operational, National Indigenous Television (NITV) reports. \n\nBut the projects risk spills, pipeline eruptions and \u201cdevastating impacts\u201d on the local environment according to Market Forces, an affiliate project of Friends of the Earth Australia, which is assisting the complaints. \n\nPrecious wildlife including threatened marsupials, endangered birds, dugong , turtles and other sea animals all stand to suffer if the projects go ahead, it adds. \n\n\u201cIf Santos gets its way with the Narrabri gas project, enabled by investments from Australia\u2019s super funds, they will pollute our sacred water that sustains all life,\u201d adds Miah Wright, another Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \n\nAntonia Burke, Indigenous human rights advocate from the Tiwi Islands alleges that the oil and gas major has \u201cleft a trail of destruction\u201d across the country. \n\nHow likely are the Barossa and Narrabri gas projects to go ahead? \n\nThe move from the Indigenous landowners comes after the Gomeroi people in January filed an appeal to the Australian Federal Court on a permit for the Narrabri gas project. The National Native Title Tribunal in December had permitted Santos to go ahead with the project. \n\nAn appeal by Santos to resume drilling on its Barossa gas project off northern Australia was rejected by the federal court in December after Indigenous groups raised objections. \n\nSantos then said it would apply for fresh approvals for its biggest project in line with the court's order. \n\nWill van de Pol, acting executive director of Market Forces, says that the pension funds must ensure Santos upholds the human rights of Traditional Owners or else dump their investments. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s in the best interest of super fund members, Traditional Owners and the climate to stop these catastrophic gas projects going ahead.\u201d \n\nJenny Bennett, a member of one of the implicated superannuation funds Aware Super, says \u201cI can only fiercely raise my opposition to such investments, particularly when I think of our two grandchildren, (three and seven), who will be dealing with the dire consequences of continual fossil fuel reliance.\u201d \n\nSantos did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment but has previously said it undertakes consultation with all key stakeholders for all of its projects. \n\nCommonwealth Super Corp, AustralianSuper, Australian Retirement Trust, Aware Super and AMP - the five largest pension funds involved - did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A group of Indigenous Australians have filed a human rights complaint against 20 large pension funds over their investments in two \u201ccatastrophic\u201d gas projects.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional landowners of the Tiwi Islands near Darwin, and the Pilliga Forest northwest of <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//12//13//significant-breakthrough-this-new-sea-salt-battery-has-4-times-the-capacity-of-lithium/">Sydney, claim the funds have an \u201cobligation to prevent adverse human rights impacts of companies in which they are invested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oil and gas giant Santos is seeking to extract gas from these culturally and environmentally significant areas, under its Barossa and Narrabri projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not allow [the forest] to be damaged or desecrated to a point where it will not return to its natural state,\u201d says Karra Kinchela, a Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \u201cWith at least 90 cultural sites, the most abundant wildlife and biodiversity, there is no other place like it in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-tweet widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio\u2014auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"widget__tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"1651049364910129152\"><\/div>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Tiwi Islander, Larrakia and Gomeroi First Nations peoples - represented by Equity Generation Lawyers - have filed their complaint directly with the superannuation funds.

Last year, a joint report from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and International Union for Conservation of Nature recommended that the reef \u201cbe inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger\u201d. \n\nUnderwater heatwaves and cyclones - driven in part by runaway greenhouse gas emissions - have devastated some of the 3,000 coral reefs that make up the Great Barrier Reef. \n\nCrown of thorns starfish are yet another threat. These predators were responsible for about 42 per cent of the decline in coral cover between 1985 and 2012, the Australian government estimates. \n\nThese starfish have up to 21 arms, more than 600 ovaries, and hundreds of toxin-tipped thorns. Each one can eat 10 square metres of coral a year - and there are millions of them. \n\nThanks to their thorny spikes, they are invulnerable to most predators - but not all. \n\nWhy is the crab so good at beating crown of thorns starfish? \n\nUniversity of Queensland researchers tested the appetite of more than 100 species of crabs, shrimps, worms, snails, and small fish . \n\n\u201cThe red decorator crab was by far the most consistent predator consuming COTS in 89 per cent of the feeding trials,\u201d she said. \n\n\u201cWe were surprised by its voracity \u2013 each red decorator crab devoured more than five COTS per day while most other species barely ate a single one.\u201d \n\nThis appetite could explain why some reefs escape outbreaks while nearby coral are decimated. \n\nThe research could pave the way for a program to protect the reef, said senior author, Dr Kenny Wolfe. \n\n\u201cThis preliminary study sets us on the right path to resolving the role naturally existing predators could play in controlling COTS outbreaks,\u201d he said.","htmlText":"<p>Scientists fighting to save the Great Barrier Reef have discovered a new secret weapon - a tiny red crab.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the world.<\/p>\n<p>But many of its <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//27//its-coral-spawning-season-in-the-great-barrier-reef-watch-this-beautiful-natural-process-u/">reef-building corals<\/strong><\/a> have been devoured by plagues of toxic crown-of-thorns (COTS) starfish.<\/p>\n<p>A little red crab could help to stop that.<\/p>\n<p>The red decorator crab - or \u2018Schizophrys aspera\u2019 - has a voracious appetite for the juvenile starfish, research from the University of Queensland has shown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of the best predators of COTS we\u2019ve seen and could be a natural buffer against future outbreaks on the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//09//cop27-delivers-15-million-to-protect-egypts-coral-reefs-how-will-it-help/">reef,/u201d said lead researcher and PhD candidate Amelia Desbiens.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7385120,7258366\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//12//19//scientists-pioneer-game-changing-freezing-technique-that-could-save-the-great-barrier-reef/">Scientists pioneer \u2018game-changing\u2019 freezing technique that could save the Great Barrier Reef\u2019s coral<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//02//08//climate-win-australia-blocks-new-coal-mine-10km-from-great-barrier-reef/">Climate win: Australia blocks new coal mine 10km from Great Barrier Reef\u00a0<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>How bad is the crown of thorns outbreak on the reef?<\/h2><p>The Great Barrier reef has declined rapidly over recent decades.

Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into its search engine Bing in February, and Google's CEO Sundar Pichai told The Wall Street Journal it also plans to integrate its own AI technology into its search engine. \n\nBut it has been found by users and researchers to routinely \"hallucinate\" and give absurd responses, or state as facts things that may sound plausible but never actually happened. \n\nEuronews Next asked ChatGPT about this flaw. \n\nIn its response, ChatGPT said: \"This happens because ChatGPT has read so many different things, and sometimes it gets confused about what it should say. It's kind of like when you're dreaming and things don't always make sense - it's not real, but it's still in your head\". \n\nAsked why it was not more careful when answering factual questions, the chatbot replied: \n\n\"ChatGPT is trained to be very careful about the facts it uses and the answers it gives. However, sometimes it can get confused because it has read so many different things and it can mix up information from different sources. \n\n\"So, it might give an answer that's not completely true or make up a source that doesn't actually exist. It's kind of like when you're telling a story and you mix up some of the details - you don't mean to lie, but you just got a little bit confused\". \n\n\"But just like when you get something wrong and your teacher corrects you, ChatGPT can also be corrected by humans when it makes a mistake. That's why it's always a good idea to check the information you get from ChatGPT with other sources, just to make sure it's accurate. \n\n\"And just like you learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time, ChatGPT can also learn from its mistakes and become even better at giving accurate answers\". \n\nSeeking defamation damages \n\nIf Hood does file a lawsuit, it would accuse ChatGPT of giving users a false sense of accuracy by failing to include footnotes, said James Naughton, a partner at Hood's law firm Gordon Legal. \n\n\"It would potentially be a landmark moment in the sense that it's applying this defamation law to a new area of artificial intelligence and publication in the IT space,\" he told Reuters. \n\nAustralian defamation damages payouts are generally capped at around A$400,000 (\u20ac244,800).\u00a0 \n\nHood did not know the exact number of people who had accessed the false information about him - a determinant of the payout size - but the nature of the defamatory statements was serious enough that he may claim more than A$200,000 (\u20ac122,400), Naughton said.","htmlText":"<p>ChatGPT has caught the world&#039;s attention with its ability to instantly generate human-sounding text, jokes and poems, and even pass university exams.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot&#039;s\u00a0characteristics, however, is its tendency to make things up entirely - and it could get OpenAI, the company behind it, in legal trouble.<\/p>\n<p>An Australian mayor has indeed threatened to file the first defamation lawsuit against OpenAI unless it corrects ChatGPT&#039;s false claims that he was convicted of paying bribes and sentenced to 30 months in jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In reality, Brian\u00a0Hood was never charged with any crime and he was actually the whistleblower who helped uncover an international bribery scandal linked to the Reserve Bank of Australia in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>He told Euronews Next he was giving OpenAI an opportunity to correct this, but if nothing was done he would likely sue the service,\u00a0which was launched in November last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7507960\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//04//07//after-italy-blocked-access-to-openais-chatgpt-chatbot-will-the-rest-of-europe-follow/">After Italy blocked access to OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, will the rest of Europe follow?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hood, who was elected that same month as mayor of Hepburn Shire, 120 km northwest of Melbourne, became concerned about his reputation when members of the public told him ChatGPT had falsely named him as a guilty party in the scandal.<\/p>\n<p>He said this experience caused him extreme distress, especially as an elected official.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\"I was really shocked.

forced to cut their emissions by 4.9 per cent each year. \n\nIt will apply to 215 industrial polluters overall and marks the first time emissions reductions have been written into Australian law.

emits 15.4 tonnes of CO2 annually. This is around three times the global average. \n\nThe country\u2019s economy is heavily dependent on exporting its resources, meaning attempts to regulate the industry have been met with bitter opposition and intense lobbying . \n\nFormer prime minister Scott Morrison - ousted in a federal election last year - famously brought a lump of coal into parliament \n\n\u201cThis is coal. Don't be afraid. Don't be scared. It won't hurt you,\u201d he told MPs. \n\nThe new prime minister Anthony Albanese has taken a more progressive stance on climate .

Its first use in the English language can be traced back to the British explorer, Captain James Cook\u2019s journal, from the 18th century. \n\nOther words included in this update also refer to concepts of M\u0101ori land ownership and sovereignty, such as \u2018rohe\u2019 which refers to \"a M\u0101ori tribal boundary\", first used in 1942, and \u2018rangatiratanga\u2019 transliterally meaning \"chieftain\" or \"nobility\" but specifically used to refer to the right to self-determination of the M\u0101ori people. \n\nSeveral of the nouns in this new addition are also related to M\u0101ori customs such as \u2018powhiri\u2019 (a M\u0101ori welcoming ceremony), 'koha', defined in the OED as \"a gift; an offering, donation, or contribution\", and \u2018wharekai\u2019, defined as \"a building in a M\u0101ori settlement or community\". \n\n\"The OED will record even more M\u0101ori contributions to the lexicon as it continues to monitor the evolution of English in this part of the world,\" says the Oxford University Press. \n\nWho are the M\u0101ori? \n\nThe M\u0101oris are indigenous Polynesian people who have inhabited mainland New Zealand since 1320 when their ancestors are believed to have arrived to the island country in fleets of large canoes called \u2018Wakas\u2019 (in the Te Reo M\u0101ori language) from a mythical homeland called Hawaiki. \n\nOver centuries of isolation from the rest of the world, the M\u0101ori developed their own culture, language, mythology, and craft, which are distinct from other Polynesian groups who live on other islands in the Pacific. \n\nEarly contact with Europeans began in the 18th century - ranging from beneficial trade to violent encounters. This was the first time that the various tribes living in New Zealand started identifying themselves with one name - M\u0101ori meaning \u2018ordinary\u2019. \n\nRelations between the M\u0101ori and European settlers - who the M\u0101ori referred to as \u2018Pakeha\u2019 - remained mostly cordial during the early colonial period until 1860 when the rising number of settlers and disputes over land bought from the M\u0101ori led to the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872).\u00a0 \n\nFollowing the wars, many M\u0101ori lands were taken by the Pakeha who tried to assimilate the M\u0101oris into their culture by banning the use of the Te Reo M\u0101ori language and replacing Tohungas (expert practitioners of a particular skill especially medicine) with Western medicine.\u00a0 \n\nBy 1896, New Zealand\u2019s M\u0101ori population was 42,113 compared to a Pakeha population of 700,000. The M\u0101ori population was also hit intensely by the 1918 influenza pandemic when death rates among the M\u0101ori were 4.5 times higher than the Pakeha. Nonetheless, the M\u0101ori population recovered in the 20th century, and underwent a cultural revival in the 1960s. Influential M\u0101ori leaders fought for social justice against historical grievances leading to the New Zealand government signing many treaty settlements, especially land deals. \n\nThe M\u0101oris are now a minority in New Zealand, numbering up to 892,200 - or 17.2% of the total population according to a June 2022 survey. Decades of co-existing with the Pakeha have led to the assimilation of words from Te Reo M\u0101ori into the English language spoken in New Zealand. \n\nCommon M\u0101ori words used by both M\u0101ori and Pakeha English-speakers in New Zealand include aroha (love), iwi (tribe), kai (food), koha (gift\/ present), and maounga (mountain).

Its first use in the English language can be traced back to the British explorer, Captain James Cook\u2019s journal, from the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>Other words included in this update also refer to concepts of M\u0101ori land ownership and sovereignty, such as \u2018rohe\u2019 which refers to \"a M\u0101ori tribal boundary\", first used in 1942, and \u2018rangatiratanga\u2019 transliterally meaning \"chieftain\" or \"nobility\" but specifically used to refer to the right to self-determination of the M\u0101ori people.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the nouns in this new addition are also related to M\u0101ori customs such as \u2018powhiri\u2019 (a M\u0101ori welcoming ceremony), &#039;koha&#039;, defined in the OED as \"a gift; an offering, donation, or contribution\", and \u2018wharekai\u2019, defined as \"a building in a M\u0101ori settlement or community\".<\/p>\n<p>\"The OED will record even more M\u0101ori contributions to the lexicon as it continues to monitor the evolution of English in this part of the world,\" says the Oxford University Press.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who are the M\u0101ori?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The M\u0101oris are indigenous Polynesian people who have inhabited mainland New Zealand since 1320 when their ancestors are believed to have arrived to the island country in fleets of large canoes called \u2018Wakas\u2019 (in the Te Reo M\u0101ori language) from a mythical homeland called Hawaiki.<\/p>\n<p>Over centuries of isolation from the rest of the world, the M\u0101ori developed their own culture, language, mythology, and craft, which are distinct from other Polynesian groups who live on other islands in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Early contact with Europeans began in the 18th century - ranging from beneficial trade to violent encounters. This was the first time that the various tribes living in New Zealand started identifying themselves with one name - M\u0101ori meaning \u2018ordinary\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Relations between the M\u0101ori and European settlers - who the M\u0101ori referred to as \u2018Pakeha\u2019 - remained mostly cordial during the early colonial period until 1860 when the rising number of settlers and disputes over land bought from the M\u0101ori led to the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the wars, many M\u0101ori lands were taken by the Pakeha who tried to assimilate the M\u0101oris into their culture by banning the use of the Te Reo M\u0101ori language and replacing Tohungas (expert practitioners of a particular skill especially medicine) with Western medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By 1896, New Zealand\u2019s M\u0101ori population was 42,113 compared to a Pakeha population of 700,000. The M\u0101ori population was also hit intensely by the 1918 influenza pandemic when death rates among the M\u0101ori were 4.5 times higher than the Pakeha. Nonetheless, the M\u0101ori population recovered in the 20th century, and underwent a cultural revival in the 1960s. Influential M\u0101ori leaders fought for social justice against historical grievances leading to the New Zealand government signing many treaty settlements, especially land deals.<\/p>\n<p>The M\u0101oris are now a minority in New Zealand, numbering up to 892,200 - or 17.2% of the total population according to a June 2022 survey. Decades of co-existing with the Pakeha have led to the assimilation of words from Te Reo M\u0101ori into the English language spoken in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>Common M\u0101ori words used by both M\u0101ori and Pakeha English-speakers in New Zealand include <em>aroha<\/em> (love), <em>iwi<\/em> (tribe), <em>kai<\/em> (food), <em>koha<\/em> (gift\/ present), and <em>maounga<\/em> (mountain).

For New York, it\u2019s skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building. In London, the towering figure of Big Ben looms greatly, while the Paris skyline is unthinkable without the Eiffel Tower. \n\nThe single building that has captured the imagination for longer than any other in the Antipodes is the Sydney Opera House . Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the arts venue is looking back on half a century as an indelible part of Sydney Harbour\u2019s landscape. \n\nIn the 1950s, Australia\u2019s biggest city had a far more barren skyline. An open competition to design the new opera house was entered by more than 200 budding architects from across the world. \n\nDanish architect J\u00f8rn Utzon was victorious in 1957 with his distinctive shell design. \n\n\u201cIn it, the judges could see the innovative design, the response to the setting on the beautiful Sydney harbour, and really what this place could be, which is a sculpture, an artwork in itself, to celebrate and house the performing arts,\u201d explains Sydney Opera House Heritage Manager Laura Matarese. \n\nConstruction began in 1959 with an initial expected finish date of 1963 and a budget of A$7 million. It would take over a decade more before the building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973. By then, costs had risen to A$102 million, offset by funding from the Australian lottery. \n\nUtzon died in 2008, aged 90.\u00a0 \n\nThe 70-year-old Peter Tucker recalls the time vividly. He started working at the Sydney Opera House in 1971, two years before the official opening. \n\nOn his first day of work, Tucker was 19, fresh out of school and about to become a father. At the time, you could lose your job if you arrived late, however serious your excuse was. \n\n\u201cI got up in the morning, and my wife went into labour, so I had to rush my wife off to hospital, at Paddington hospital, then I made my way down here and I commenced work as a builder\u2019s labourer,\u201d says Tucker, who is now operations supervisor of the site. \n\n\u201cFirst day here was good, they introduced me to a jackhammer, and that\u2019s where I stayed for the first six months in the drama theatre. It was really, really good. In the afternoon, I went and saw my wife, and I had a lovely son,\u201d he reminisces. \n\nTucker has stayed at the Opera House all these years, the last person still employed at the venue who also worked on the building site. \n\nHe also got to shake Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s hand in 2006 when she opened the Colonnade, an external loggia on the west of the building. \n\n\u201cWhen I was working here, it was all just scaffold, and there was a big massive safety net that if anybody fell, they were caught in the safety net, and then all of a sudden it\u2019s all gone, and then there\u2019s musicians on stage, and they\u2019re playing, and you\u2019re saying \u2018how beautiful is this coming out\u2019 you know, I\u2019d never heard a full orchestra before, but, wow, that was very impressive,\u201d says Tucker. \n\nIn the past 50 years, the Sydney Opera House has been home to various resident companies, including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Sydney Theatre Company, Opera Australia, the Australian Ballet, Bangarra Dance Theatre and more. \n\n\u201cThe numbers are amazing. It's 118,000, at last count, performances have happened in the Opera House and 63 million seats have been sold. So, that\u2019s an extraordinary number of people who had an experience here,\u201d says Fiona Winning, director of programming, Sydney Opera House. \n\nIn its 50 years of existence, the Opera has welcomed many guests. \n\nArnold Schwarzenegger won his last Mr Olympia crown here in 1980, Pope John Paul II addressed a massive crowd in 1987 and in 1990 the recently freed Nelson Mandela spoke to 40,000 people amassed on the outside steps. \n\nFor the first time ever, the Opera had to close in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. \n\nIn the meantime, a major refurbishment of the Concert Hall was underway. \n\nLast July, the Hall reopened with a much richer and clearer sound, according to musicians. \n\nThe stage has also been dropped, which means audience members in the front rows don\u2019t have to look up anymore. \n\nA lesser-known and more intimate room is the Utzon room, the smallest performance space in the Opera House. \n\nUtzon designed it himself. The room looks out to the water, and a wall is covered by a tapestry he commissioned. \n\nThat room has welcomed all sorts of events, from chamber music to, more surprisingly, punk bands. \n\nIn 2007, the Opera was included on UNESCO's Heritage List. To mark this year\u2019s 50th anniversary, about 250 performances, events and experiences showcased by Australian and international artists are organised. On the birthday weekend, 21-22 October, an open house will take place for everyone to visit.","htmlText":"<p>Every iconic skyline has the buildings that define it.
