		<description><![CDATA[Last week, a Family Court judge (Justice Peter Murphy) stepped down from hearing a case, having been unable to get the parents to agree about anything. (Herald Sun, 4 February)
He described their disputing as “pathetic, stupid and relentless”.
The 12-year old daughter had had to call the police because the parents couldn’t agree on a drop-off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NSW Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, proposes that new recruits for the police force must have no tattoos.
Opposition party spokesman, John Robertson, calls the suggestion “absurd”: focussing on something trivial instead of on investigating serious crime.
The police response is that the move is about “professionalism”.

Most, or at least many, tattoos depict themes like the [...]]]></description>

Perhaps the greatest female athlete Australia has produced.
Winner of all four Grand Slam tournament singles titles in the same calendar year (1970).
She won a record 62 Major titles overall.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame states, &#8220;For sheer strength of performance and accomplishment there has never been [...]]]></description>

Sing loudly.
Repeat the last line of each verse.

My dog is old now (fifteen years), his eyes are nearly blind.
 
Yet though his hips and joints are stiff, he doesn’t seem to mind.
 
He’s not in pain, he eats his food, he persecutes the cat;
 
So we’re still pleased to have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems as though Bernard Tomic cheated in his match against Alexandr Dolgopolov the other night.
When interviewed, he showed no remorse.
He is a young man. There should be somebody guiding him.
Perhaps with his great talent etc., winning has become too much of a priority with him.

		<description><![CDATA[Canada’s Liberal Party has voted to legalise marijuana if and when they get into power.
Their policy is that legalisation will “ensure the regulation and taxation of its production, distribution and use, while enacting strict penalties for illegal trafficking, etc.”
An unrealistic policy, rivalling the naivety of Australia’s Greens Party.

More than Anzac Day.
More than Christmas Day.
It is certainly being boosted by the political and media would-be opinion-controllers.
Municipal Councils are all hosting community breakfasts, sporting events etc., trying to beat up some interest.

For every phone, they are able to get $3.
So you benefit by getting rid of a bit of clutter – meanwhile benefiting one of our most reliable charities.

Over 6800 Australians signed a petition complaining about this . . . .
And by early November received assurances from DIVA that the offending promotions would stop.
Which they did.

The newspapers showed photos of him waving his arms in delight when he reached the 300 mark &#8212; arms bearing numerous visible tattoos.
Why would a grown man get himself tattooed?
Why would a cricketing nation put a tattooed person in charge of a team?
