It’s great to see a boss pointing these things out to the employees. Sure, a cash handout is great, but ongoing work is much better.
Have a read of the letter that this employer sent to his employees here.
As a small business owner, I agree with this email entirely, even though I only employ one person [...]

I have noticed over the past month or so that there have begun to be some more obvious changes in transport in response to the increasing fuel costs.
Over the past year there has been an increase in Camry’s/Aurion’s as taxi’s and police vehicles in place of some of Falcon’s and Commodore’s, and over the past [...]

“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” (Benjamin Franklin, from Wikiquote)

Steve Griffiths is the local Labor councillor for Moorooka Ward, and with the upcoming election for Brisbane’s Lord Mayor and so on, he sent out an application for postal votes, which I filled in and returned to his office.
I received a letter, signed by [...]

According to an article earlier today on the Sydney Morning Herald, the censorship ministers will be discussing giving an R18+ rating to games at the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG).
At the moment, the highest rating a game can have in Australia is MA15+ and there is almost no ID checking taking place to ensure that [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything about Mr Rudd et al’s internet censorship schemes and so on, so I had been starting to hope they had realised that it would just be digging their own grave.
Apparently not.
It’s no big surprise that the Rudd Government claims the NetAlert software that was pushed by the [...]

Australian from yesterday covering the pitfalls and problems with ISP level filtering and various forms of filtering. It is probably the most accurate and reasonably presented article I’ve seen from a newspaper yet, even though the quotes are predominately from IIA spokesman Peter Coroneo’s rather than someone from the current government.
“…he warned it could never [...]

With newspapers Australia wide running near identical articles on the latest announcement today from the Australian Labor Party, and blogs worldwide abuzz, I can’t help but be astounded.
How is mandatory ISP level internet filtering a smart idea? Whether it causes a speed difference or not, which I believe it will, it makes me wonder how [...]

Ha! So I hear Prince is threatening to sue fan sites, that sounds logical to me, don’t you? Fan’s get more people to listen to my music, therefore, sue them. Ah wells, that’s his problem I suppose. Knew there had to be a reason I never liked him.
In more interesting news, I just received my [...]
