I ballsed up the title ,

the “it” should be an “in”

This looks like an appropriate thread for this question:

In Oznewsmeejaspeak, what is the definition of the term “identity”, when applied to a person in the news?

someone well known to locals and probably a little suss. john kizon is/was a northbridge identity.

So my interpretation (this guy is a criminal, but we can’t call him that because he’d sue us) is a bit strong then?

no, that’s about right.

IMO I don’t think ‘identity’ is necessarily pejorative.

Colourful racing identity on the other hand means as off as a bucket of prawns in the sun.

I suspect that when the term is applied to a member of the Liberal Party of NSW, it means even offer than that.

(but I don’t really know).

How about that corrupt memeber of the NSW Liberal Part

How about my spelling mistakes

I thought “memeber” might be code for “identity”.

The identity who cannot remember things, or another identity?

As for the shark being shot three times, that’s something you learn when destroying large dangerous animals e.g. feral pigs.

Shoot it.

Shoot it again, to be sure.

Then, when you’re absolutely positive and certain it’s dead, shoot it again.

I’ve seen more than one ‘definitely dead’ pig get up and charge.

“A team of CSIRO scientists has cracked the holy grail of aquaculture by developing the world’s first fish-free prawn food.”

I’m no aquaculture expert, but this story from American in 2010 would seem to contradict that claim.

“To evaluate the performance of Oberons SCP, Texas A&M Universitys AgriLife Research Mariculture Laboratory in Port Aransas, Texas conducted preliminary trials using white shrimp as the test animal. Shrimp were stocked at a density of 222 animals/m3 (tank bottom area: 0.10 m2, stocking size: 0.27 0.01 g) and were fed one of two diets over a period of 5 weeks; one being a commercially-available shrimp feed formulation containing 8% fishmeal and the other being the same formulation with 100% of the fishmeal replaced by Oberons SCP. Diets were offered in excess of satiation, fifteen times a day using an automatic feeder. Natural feeds in any form were not available to the shrimp and water quality and culture conditions were not limiting to growth.

Final results showed that the shrimp fed Oberons SCP performed as well or better than those receiving fishmeal. The SCP-fed shrimp had a survival of 92%, grew at 1.65 g/week, and exhibited a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.54, while the fishmeal-fed shrimp had survival of 88%, grew at 1.52 g/week”
