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.

    Think you'll find the last Float Glass Plant ( Dandenong... originally Pilks ) has closed.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
