When even wildlife experts can't quite make sense of a strange scenario involving a snake and a frog, you know it's probably very unique.

The team at Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers think so, anyway.

Sharing an image that truly has to be seen to be believed, the Queensland-based wildlife group have shown exactly what it looks like when a green tree frog ingests a baby snake and poops it out the other end – whole.

"What is going on here?!" the snake catchers wrote on Facebook.

"We were sent in this crazy photo of a green tree frog with a baby eastern brown snake coming out it's bum.

"Was the frog struggling to digest and poop out the snake? Did the brown snake slither all the way through the digestive system?"

The group then turned to their audience for help to digest just what was taking place in the bizarre image.

"Was the frog struggling to digest and poop out the snake?," they wrote.

"Did the brown snake slither all the way through the digestive system?

"The lady who found it said the frog was trying to pull it out with its back legs, so she pulled the snake out for it.

"Wow, just wow."

The post attracted almost four thousand likes and comments, with confused social media users hypothesising about exactly what was occurring.

"What the hell?" one wrote.

"How bizarre," said another.

But others pointed out that the practice may actually common in green tree frogs. 

"This is very common, the green tree frog will pretty much eat anything that moves," a user wrote.

"They grow very fast and can get fairly big, hence the reason they eat basically anything and everything that moves in their line-of-sight, including snakes, baby ducks, other frogs and toads, birds, and small mammals.

"I'd say it's digestive can't handle a snake so ends up coming out almost the same way it went in."

Though the frog lived to tell the tale, the same could not be said for the little snake.

More than $500 million worth of frozen food risks being binned after a giant Australian trucking company collapsed.

Scott's Refrigerated Logistics entered voluntary administration last Monday, leaving 1500 employees in the lurch.

It is a massive freight business for supermarkets, moving on average 8000 pallets daily to major grocery retailers, independent supermarkets, food manufacturers and exporters.

Receiver KordaMentha confirmed today the fate of more than $500 million worth of cold items is up in the air as it is trying to relocate about 114,000 pallets of food.

Scott's has 24 warehouses across Australia that need to be emptied due to the company's collapse, but because there are limited alternative cold storage facilities, these products risk being binned.

Coles said it has removed all its stock from the Scott's storage facilities, but some of the supermarket giant's supplier did have their own transport and storage arrangements in place directly with the failed logistics company.

"Our focus remains on continued availability of refrigerated products in stores and online for our customers," a Coles spokesperson told 9News.com.au.

"Coles is no longer relying on Scott's Refrigerated Logistics for our deliveries and we have transferred services to our other transport partners.

"Our teams are also working with suppliers who previously managed their own deliveries directly with Scott's, and we are helping them to quickly secure new options to continue deliveries to major supermarkets. We will continue to closely monitor deliveries across our supply chain.

"We are working hard to minimise disruption for customers and our farmers and suppliers as deliveries ramp up."

KordaMentha earlier warned there will be supply disruptions for Scott's other contracted supermarkets including Woolworths and Aldi.

"We're working closely with our impacted suppliers to maintain continued products to our distribution centres." a Woolworths spokesperson said.

Aldi expressed its sympathies to Scott's as the freight industry is hit by residual COVID-19 pandemic impacts, diesel shortages and soaring fuel prices.

"The supermarket supply chains rely on many interdependent partnerships, following the challenges presented this week from Scott's Refrigerator Logistics, we have worked with our existing logistics partners to ensure the 3 per cent of Scott's business managed for ALDI now transitions to other logistics partners," an Aldi spokesperson said.

Earlier, KordaMentha's Scott Langdon anticipated there would be a great deal of interest in snapping up the business.

But this didn't come to fruition as the firm approached interested parties about the sale of Scott's but was unsuccessful in securing any bids last Friday, KordaMentha said.

The collapse of the freight giant comes as the industry faces heavy pressures, particularly with fuel costs.

According to the Transport Workers Union, almost 200 companies in the transport industry became insolvent in 2022 alone.

Perth mother-of-two Justine McGovern doesn't know where she will sleep tonight.

After six frantic and fruitless months of searching for a place to rent, the 55-year-old will join Australia's growing number of homeless today.

"I would never have believed that this would happen to me at my age," McGovern told 9news.com.au.

All week, McGovern has been sorting out her belongings and putting them in storage, getting ready for today, when she will be forced to vacate the rundown house she has been renting in Thornlie, in Perth's south-west, since September.

The house and its two neighbours on either side have been sold, ready to make way for a new development.

McGovern and her ex-husband normally share custody of their two teenage daughters equally, but now – as she has no place to live – they will move in full-time with their father.

Over the last few weeks, McGovern said she had reached out to various agencies to be assessed for emergency accommodation, but was yet to hear back on whether there was anything to offer her.

Now, her terrifying deadline is suddenly here and she is struggling to cope with the stress.

"I've realised in the last 24 hours that I've actually got the shakes quite badly," McGovern said.

"I'm an insomniac at the best of times, but I think I only slept for one hour last night."

Without a car to shelter in, McGovern said she was struggling to come up with options of where to sleep.

"I'm terrified of ending up in a homeless shelter, to be honest," she said. 

"I'm having visions of sleeping at the airport as that seems to be the safest option if it comes down to it."

The rising homeless

McGovern is one of many who have slipped into homelessness recently on the back of a national cost-of-living, housing and rental crisis.

The number of homeless in Australia has risen 8 per cent in the four years from 2017-18 to 2021-22, according to the latest report from Australian Homelessness Monitor. 

A Productivity Commission report, released in August last year, acknowledged homelessness was fundamentally tied to housing affordability.

A confluence of high inflation, surging interest rates, and a lack of supply has made renting a home more unaffordable than ever.

In Perth, the vacancy rate for rental properties is currently at a record low of 0.7 per cent.
