Saw a commercial on TV telling us the importance of gas and how it is used to make bricks, aluminium products and glass . There is no glass manufacturing companies in Australia.

Why are the Greens inc supporters are against COAL and GAS and yet they accept product made from dirty crude oil which product toxic polluting compounds i.e petrol , paradichloro benzene ( urinal blocks which are banned in many countries ) .Perhaps they are funded by the rich. If we get rid of crude oil there would be no supermarket food , no clothes , no ...........Rem we need to save the planet at all costs.

Lithium ion batteries for cars are made by using coal fired power station in the process. Lithium batteries life span is 7-8 years or 120-140000 klms. Cost to replace them is $10-20000 that does not include labour cost. You buy an electric car for $60,000 in 5 years time the cost of a your will drastically devaluate.

Vegetable oil i.e sunflower , peanut can be used to produce bio fuel as a substitute for diesel fuel.

The low unemployment figure is totally misleading, according to Centrelink if you do 0ne hour of work per fortnight you are classified as employed. What make figures look good there are much more casual and part time workers today compared to 20 yrs go. The figures should be based on 36 hrs working week.

Interest rates we up ,according to the reserve bank people are spending too much. Yet tax cuts were introduced and wages increases for the P.S. All this means people have more money to spend and yet interest rates dipped slightly.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
