sounds like a great junket, froggy. what's new to learn about roads you can't get out of a book or the web and what's wrong with a video conference :)

I understand that by attending last year's conference help my new local government secure 60 million in road funding.

This money was to seal a road that the State Government promised to seal in 1957 when it closed the rail access to our town.

Unfortunately there a State election soon and last time there was funding for this project the State spent the money in Perth on the expansion of the train passenger network. 

I did learn how the Victorian State Government needs to hand over 200 million to the Glengle Shire so they can fix their roads. Plus NSW councils need more road funding from their State government. Apparently the Federal Transport Department wants a new user pays road funding system as the current fuel taxes are unfair and not providing them with enough income.

You city slickers believe everything the Fed's tell you about the NBN and how it provides fast Internet to everyone. Well video conferencing requires decent Internet speeds, plus it's a poor way to deliver a conference.

The NBN started construction in my area in May 2013 and it has not been completed as yet. I assume they want to complete their entire east coast network before they complete my area. IMO it should be called the NBN.CON.

Don't kid yourself DF I live in metro Melbourne and we are not even on the planning list that shows the areas to be done in the next three years. I have tried to work how the choose the areas to do and the the result is they pick them with a blind fold and a pin!

I bloody don't ... I may not be a city slicker anyway but I have the nbn's satellite 'service' (despite having 100% signal strength for fixed wireless, I'm not permitted access to it). Slow when it's working, which happens episodically.

Far too systematic, Mr Old.

Forgot to ask, Froggie: did you learn about the Queensland system which used to operate brilliantly by having a minister of the crown living in a local government area (with the small proviso that any developed road usually ended at the minister's gate?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
