Landholders have divided landholders and ignited intense debate over the transition to renewable energies after towering power lines that cut across farms to link wind and solar projects to the electricity grid. The Victoria to NSW Internor West, or VNI West, has become a lightning rod.

According to a study published by the corporation on Thursday, the average 401(k) account balance for Vanguard participants in 2022 was $112,5702, down 20% from the $201,542 average recorded in 2021. Retirement accounts in 2022 plunged mainly as a result of a general decrease in stock and bond markets last year, but good news for employees is that markets saw some gains in the first half of 2023, boosting retirement accounts. Despite significant market turmoil last year, Vanguard said that nearly a quarter of participants saved at least 10% of their money for retirement, and the average savings rate remained unchanged at 7.4 percent.

Following a series of reports about foul odors, Anglian Water installed an underground pipe, but it was not completed. Families, on the other hand, are kept up at night, with the sounds of sewage rushing past their houses from the new pipe, with one person commenting, 'It makes me queasy considering all the poo floating over my front door.' Anglian Water hopes to finish the job next month, with the company giving out food hampers as an apology to residents. However, locals are concerned that they will be living next to the sewer line until the summer, with Firefighter Craig Rollason (pictured right with wife Katie and her infant son Harris) calling the pipe a "eyesore."
