    ADD a new challenge to the list that begins with finding the cure to the common cold: Solving Port Adelaide’s kicking yips.The Power’s demise is now complete. The 40-point loss to the resurgent Melbourne at Adelaide Oval leaves nothing of the credibility and respect the Port Adelaide group worked so hard to restore just 40 games ago by reaching the 2014 preliminary finals.Port Adelaide bolted onto its lapel the title of “mediocre also-ran” by losing to Melbourne for the first time in eight AFL g..

  • Foreign investment rules need careful explaining

    Foreign investment rules need careful explaining
    The total amount of foreign investment in Australia stands at $3 trillion, according to the most recent figures. It is one of those staggering numbers that seems almost ludicrous to mention and practically impossible to imagine. But it is real money, generated overseas, and spent in this country to the lasting benefit of the local population. Foreign investment generates jobs and wealth for all Australians.Widespread support for the principle of open and transparent investment underpins the mod..

    All hail the bookshop: survivor against the odds
    This National Bookshop Day, Australia’s one-time Minister for Small Business, Nick Sherry, will be remembered for his words, not his deeds. A reader, book buyer and enthusiastic patron of terrestrial bookshops, in June 2011 Sherry told a conference on online business that, In five years, other than a few speciality bookshops in capital cities, you will not see a bookstore.

It's the classic fisherman's lament, the sort of thing that's supposed to make you feel better after a long day on the water essentially feeding fish as some sort of public service. Line goes in, line comes out.
