Howard Cleared in AWB Enquiry

November 28th 2006 06:47
As the Sydney Morning Herald reports, before the Cole enquiry into AWB's kickbacks to Saddam Hussein 60% of voters didn't believe the federal governments story that they had no knowledge of the bribery. Now the credible enquiry has not only cleared the government of any wrongdoing, it has given them a scapegoat as well.

Do you think that figure will now drop much below 60%?

WA Switches to Daylight Saving on Sunday

November 28th 2006 06:20
The West Australian reports that after much debate, WA will start a three year daylight saving trial on December 3rd. The trial will be followed by a referendum to determine if the change becomes permanent. Over the next two years the start and end dates for daylight saving in WA will match those of Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales.

WA has had three previous daylight saving trials in 1975, 1984 and 1992. All were followed by referendums and all failed. Will this trial be any different?


Rottnest island WA
West Australians will be spending an extra hour on the beach, for now anyway.
