Space-saver

Many modern cars now come with a space-saver spare wheel, which is smaller than the regular wheel. The main reason for this is that the space-saver spare takes up less space, obviously, and is lighter than a standard wheel and tire.

Some vehicles don't even come with a space-saver spare. My...

Luc Longley

The documentary series, Australian Story, has no narrator and no agendas, just authentic stories told in people's own words. Tonight they had a documentary on Luc Longley, the first Australian to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA), playing for four teams over ten seasons.

On the way down

There is a deflating feeling when you watch your team fall from the dizzy heights of Premiers one year to missing the finals the following year. And that is, unfortunately, what is happening to my team, the Richmond Tigers. There are many reasons why this is the case, injuries to...

We are always strong in the pool,...

Continual improvement

With my new payroll system project at work, I have now completed two payroll cycles, and all of the workers have been paid accurately and on time.

I have been surprised at the low number of pay enquiries that have come as a result of the new payroll system. And none...

ALP

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) is a political party built on the support of the working class. It descended from labour parties founded in the various Australian colonies by the emerging labour movement in Australia to become a federal party, present at the first sitting of the Australian parliament in...

Safe injecting rooms

The Victorian government is about to open a second safe injecting room, a place where people can inject drugs in a supervised health setting. This means that if someone overdoses in the room, a staff member can respond immediately. This second safe injecting room will be in the central business...

Rapid decline

I am feeling disheartened about my football team. They lost another game today, making it four losses in the last five games. After the exhilaration of premiership success three of the past four years, their current losing streak is a stark contrast to the team that has been so successful.
