Brisbane residents say they are waking up in the middle of the night gagging and spluttering because of a foul stench that is also irritating some people's eyes, and which they say comes from a local factory.

I work fairly close by and have never noticed any smell from this joint, but the local Facebook groups are always complaining about it. Possibly it only comes during some sort of production run they do overnight.

There’s complaints about it going back 10+ years so not real sure what the latest action group expect to achieve. Also slightly unfortunate that the organiser of the action group’s name is “Karen” what with the implications.

Cool acronym though.

Karen Ruse says she has to choke back the urge to vomit whenever she is hit with a stench reminiscent of cat urine in Brisbane’s south.
The Moorooka resident said she was regularly woken at night by a pungent odour she believed was wafting from the nearby EGR plastics factory on Evans Road, Salisbury.
Ms Ruse recently founded the Salisbury Moorooka Emissions Limitations Lobby, or SMELL, after previous lobbying attempts to reduce the smell failed.

    lol I joined the Facebook group to see what’s happening.

    Turns out that Karen person acts exactly as the name suggests… I don’t think this group is going to achieve anything.

    Here’s to 10 more years of cat wee!
