What if I die - will there be a Coroners Inquiry - compensation for family, prosecution of the Company re unsafe workplace and so-on. Haven't heard much about t...

I looked in the Donation box when I arrived and could plainly see an envelope with a name and note on it. Checked again this morning, no donati...

The featured animation shows a ball dropping from one kilometer high toward the surfaces of famous solar system bodies, assuming no air resistance. The force of gravity depends...

Good to hear Dr. Norman Swan on the ABC Q+A program finally admit that covid will be around forever in one form or another. We will have to have a yearly flu/covid vaccine. Not so hard I suppose, as long as we can get back to some kind of normal. Collo.

I had to drive into the Sydney CBD today to get some things from the office. I parked in Clarence Street and walked two and a half blocks to the corner of George and Kings Streets. In the fifteen minutes it took to leave the car and return to it, I saw less than 2 dozen people in the streets. Looking up and d...

With 2448 Americans and 41 Australians dead and many more injured, a trillon US dollars spent, 20 years of fighting, it seems it has been a waste of lives and resources. The British, Russians and now the Americans have all had a go at Afghanistan and all have failed. I think its a country that will just ha...

The screams of two young women being assaulted in a crowded Kimberley caravan park went unanswered as they were bashed by a group of teenagers with a metal chair and had their vehicle taken. How a night at Fitzroy Crossing left two young travellers bloodied, bruised and frightened (msn.com)
