How Australian gymnastics needs to reform in wake of damning report
This article was written by Honorary Research Fellow Dr Georgia Cervin and originally appeared in The Conversation.
The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has released its report on the culture and practice of gymnastics in Australia. Titled Changing the Routine, the report was commissioned by Gymnastics Australia in August 2020, after athletes shared stories online and in the media of the harms they had suffered in gymnastics.
The AHRC found evidence of bullying, harassment, abuse, neglect, racism, sexism and ableism across the sport, which has been going on for decades.
The technique
could replace the traditional method of digging which
results in significant costs to the
environment.
Digging methods are currently used in 99
per cent of mining activity, often resulting in significant
environmental degradation and huge quantities of solid
waste.
Global estimates of waste are of the order of
100 gigatonnes per year, significantly larger than any other
form of waste generated by humans.
The new technique
is published in
Science
Advances. It is now being further developed and
refined with support from the Minerals Research Institute of
Western Australia.

Researchers from The University of Western Australia, Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Exeter have developed a new mining technique that uses electric fields to extract metals from hard rock ore.
The technique could replace the traditional method of digging which results in significant costs to the environment.
Digging methods are currently used in 99 per cent of mining activity, often resulting in significant environmental degradation and huge quantities of solid waste.
A new study was published in Antiquity, an academic journal dedicated to archaeology, revealing that 1,000 structures have been found in northwestern Saudi Arabia. These rectangular monuments, amply named "mustatils" after the Arabic word for "rectangle," are believed to be about 7,000 years old, making them older than the pyramids in Egypt.

SYDNEY, May 4 (Xinhua) An Australian research found that people can significantly reduce risk for heart disease by eating one cup of nitrate-rich vegetables each day.
The research, revealed on Tuesday, was conducted by Edith Cowan University, the University of Western Australia and the Danish Cancer Society, and the findings were published in European Journal of Epidemiology.
Based on data from over 50,000 people residing in Denmark over a 23-year period, researchers found that people who consumed the most nitrate-rich vegetables has 2.5 mmHg lower systolic blood pressure and 12 percent to 26 percent lower risk for heart disease than normal people.
