1. A Danish town council has made a sexy deal with its residents.
A Danish town council has brokered a very unusual deal with residents: it will keep schools and childcare centres open as long as resident keep having sex to produce babies, Forbes reports.
The declining population and falling enrolment rates mean the council is looking to close services unless more children are produced within the next four years.
Denmark has previously tried many whacky strategies to encourage residents to have more babies, including ‘date night’ childcare and prizes for positive pregnancy tests.
2. Darwin to stop NT residents from buying cask wine – unless they’re driving.
The chain of bottle shops in the Northern Territory has introduced new restrictions on the sale of cask wine — by imposing a ‘no car, no cask’ policy, ABC News reports.
The restriction, currently being trialled by liquor chain Beer Wine and Spirits in three of its stores, only allows people to buy cask wine if they have driven in their cars to the bottleshop.
