old news 25 october 2002 friday

continuing my write up of old news.

australias most famous train the ghan had a crash that killed 4 school children.

carltons former boss john ellilot is in legal trouble still and the case threw out his attempt to stop it going to court.

i agree with children having a bigger say in services considering its their future and it effects them more directly than other people.

i think singing the national anthem should be made mandatory once a week or something but not all the time at school and saluting the flag is a bit over the top voteline. The nats will spend 1 billion dollars on insfructure a bit too much really.

an inaccruate article about players born in the 60s in the afl as many will retire before the next season. a lot of trade rumos in the afl as well with adam yze to stay at melbourne while hawthorn and carlton getting involved in recrutiing.

survivor marquesas episode 7

the tribes are told about a summit and need to send one member of each tribe rob and kathy are chosen where they get to eat and prepare for the merge they discuss whats going on at each others camp with rob telling kathy about how they will target them which makes kathy supecisasious the tribes than merge to old rotu beach and call the tribe soliantu with pink buffs (some of the guys especially robert aren’t happy about it) rob tries to put more doubt in kathys mind about rotu sticking together and it works a little bit. The immunity challenge is standing on a buoy for the longest possible time kathy wins immunity. Rob and sean get into a altercation with john about trustworthiness. in a new twist the winner of the immunity challenge can gave it up (it only happens 4 times ever in the shows history) kathy keeps it and boston rob is voted out 7-2-1 over john and zoe but we will see rob in four more seasons of survivor as an contestant plus one as a mentor and twice on the amazing race.

next time can sean save himself and can paschal and neleh wise up to their bad positiion in the game.

continuing my look at current news

in good news labor have held the qld seat of streetan at the by election as the cojunt finishes in the safe seat only a slight swing against labor of 1.6 percent is nowhere near enough to unseat labor. A protest against covid has raised the risk of a super spreading event in melbourne sydney and brisbane an illegal protest occured during lockdown without the proper protections so it will put at risk another extension to victorias lockdown and keep the nsw case numbers high it is not worth protesting if its going to increase what you protest about. a comment on the abcs misreprsented series is that it is genuine the way it reports that woman aren’t treated equally to men in politics and something has to be done about it maybe even quotas just to even it up. sport news afl bulldogs have knocked melbourne off the top by 20 points. hawks are still vunerbale for the wooden spoon after a 19 point loss to adeliade and north beating carlton by 39 points brisbane destroyed gold coast after half time by 49 points from 29 down and west coast keep their top 8 hopes alive with a 8 point win over st kilda.

the first clue sends them to sao paulo brazil on american, continental or united flights the trick is the departure order of flights mean nothing american would have been best if not delayed first to leave first to arrive and lake/michelle break the rules by ringing ahead to book tickets which is not allowed but end up on the worse flight the continental flight anyway. The first clue in brazil is at the hotel unique which sends them to a hard to find bridge despite being on a good flight john/scott and lisa/joni fall way behind because of bad cab drivers the detour is more bad news for john/scott it is a helicopter ride to one of three hotels or building a motorcycle few teams do the motorcycle correctly and the helicopter ride is a bit of a race to the three hotels are different distances. after lighting a candle they race to a soccer field the pit stop where john/scott face their fears for nothing as they are eliminated.

sofitel fiji danahuru island review november 2019

today i am doing a retro tip review from my 2019 fiji holiday (my last overseas holiday). The resort is on a seperate island to the main island and is accessable by car from the airport with a conviant car service. The resort has been renovated since i was there so some of this might have been fixed. The reception has the main resturant and where you can check in/out for the sofitel as well as fiji airways flights from nadi airport. the room is pretty average but ok with a tv, wifi (but it is very very slow) charging ports and a few things. The pool is the highlight when not too busy its nice and relaxing just time it ok you need to get a towel from one of the staff. there are a few other food places in the resort which are good sometimes. The port also has a lot of food places and is accesable by hop on hop off bus that stops at all the resorts on the island. overall its an ok resort but has room to improve.

water restrictions are being introduced for melbourne if no rain for 10 days.

govenor general goes to bali to visit victims good idea.

a car crash victim sues for 1.3 billion dollars due to the damage he got a little over the top but still valid. i agree that you should not hurt people of either arab or muslim faith as there only a few bad people not the entire religion (otherwise the catholic church should be treated the same for hiding abuse and sex abuse so its not practical).

no i don’t think boys are being neglected for girls i think thats a big statemnt but some people say samesex schools are coming back maybe over the top.

matthew allan and trent croad will stay at their clubs for one more year.

the only thing about some rubbish shows thats good is how stupid there name is.

a new medal name called the matship medal great name.

the govenour general says his trip to egypt is still a good idea despite the risk i’m not sure egypt is usually pretty dangeorus compared to bali which was just attacked.

water saving ratings for appliances to save water looks like a decent idea if done right especially in a drought.

i agree theres no good reason for most people to have guns only mentally stable police and miltary people should have it really no more recreational shooters being able to practice away from a firing range either.

voteline i have already expressed my view on the mateship medal.

todays news 24 july 2021 saturday

continuing my look at todays news.

covid is still an issue and it seems that gladyses delay in action has hurt the other states even more with cases now ln longreach qld because of a qantas flight attedant. Dan andrews has a good idea that should have been implemented earlier a ring of steel to keep cases in sydney i also think they should have done more to lockdown bondi and that part of sydney at the start of this outbreak. Victoria may have its lockdown ended but its too early to tell and the travel bubble with nz is susspended for the mean time. In other news the conservatives are crying fowl over a abc documentary about the mistreatment of woman mostly by conservatives instead of trying to fix the problems david littleproud (deaputy national party leader) is against quotas to fix the lack of woman representation something has to be done about this even if a so called slightly biast tv show says it and the liberals need to bring woman back to the party at any cost or else they don’t deserve to govern. alan joyce cotinues to hurt his workers with threats. in sport news port adelaide have kept their top 4 spot with a 28 point win over struggling collingwood (who have been critiercised by eddie mcguire who feels he shouldn’t have been sacked what a narcisist) today carlton host north bribane host gold coast west coast host st kilda melbourne play bulldogs in the game of the round and hawthorn play adelaide. storm have made it 15 straight after surviving a cowboys scare 20-16 and roosters beat newcastle 28-8 in the other game last night penrith play brisbane south sydney play warriors and manly hosts wests not much room for an upset today.

prediction for the day

after losing early it seems maraamu is in trouble while patricia becomes bosy on that tribe makes some not like her. Kathy is the annoying person on rotu saying she will help if they listen to her which angers her tribe. with food shortages robert is not keeping up well according to neleh. the reward challenge is removing rocks from a boat rotu again win the challenge rob and sarah are growing close on maraamu. the immunity challenge is the disgusting food challenge where it comes down to rob and neleh eating fafuru which neleh wins for rotu. Some of the tribe want to vote out sarah for being week and a comment at tribal about saving energy for challenges hurts her chances but patricas bossiness and weekness costs her the game as patricia is voted out 4-3.

rob mariano (boston rob) 25

sean rector 30

vecepia thorney 36

neleh dennis 21

the players paddle to camp with sean saying about sarah it was like cleopata on the raft they than set up camp but the players don’t have food unless they find it peter shows maraamu a bit of yoga which annoys rob. kathy is already on the outs of rotu because of her views of how to run the camp. The first challenge is using an outriger canoe race lighting fire rotu win the challenge. sarahs and patricas weekness pus them on teh chopping block but the tribe sends peter home 5-2-1. Note rob despite being the reason peter was voted out becomes friends with him after the show in fact he was one of the few survivor alumni at rob and ambers wedding.

next time will they get food and patrica becomes bosy.

old news 15 october 2002 tuesday.

cotinuing my look at old news stories.

a lot more about people missing due to the bali bombings with a lot of people still missing. it also effected air paradise international who where going to launch flights from bali but will be delayed due to the attack (it is also not a successful airline in the end). judge finds both sides of the pell case truthful in other words no real verdict. people have a genuine concern about getting involved in a war would create more risk and some people think that according to the editorial. no i don’t think the bali bombing should automatically fight in the iraq war at least until its proven to be nescuary and also it means we have less to protect ourselves. kangaroos to replace sydney as port melbournes afl sponsor spelling doom to the murray kangaroos. hopefully more happy news next time.

todays news 23rd july 2021 friday

covid cases have risen a lot especially in nsw but also in victoria making it very dangeorous qld have shut their border to nsw, vic, and south australia which is reasonable considering how out of control the outbreak is. The victorian liberals think dan andrews should have acted quicker to shut the border which might be true but its strange that the liberals where the ones saying it. A bussiness owner is in seriese trouble in echuca (i think) for leaving his pub open for people to eat in as opposed to take away saying its trying to make money but he should have to pay the fine for being caught law breaking, In non-covid news england seems to have an asslym seeker problem but the answer is trying to get refugees there legitamently but the idea that france are responsable because they crossed the channel from france when they come from other countries is not true and turning back boats is just cruel and illlegal also don’t listen to tony abbott. Alan joyce threatens stand offs due to lockdown which is not the way to do it if you have mistreated your workers for years if you stand them down things improve they won’t work for you again infact no one will only clive plamer is worse as a bussiness manager/owner. To sport news canberra have stunned parramata 12-10 in the nrl last night to move into the top 8 temporarily tongight roosters host newcastle and cowboys host storm. Port host collingwood in the afl tonight in a game thats moved to melbourne due to adelaides lockdown.

prediction for the day

storm will win again tonight unfortunately.

preview of the day

division of higgins is a three cornered contest really in a traditional blue ribbon seat katie allan won it last time for the libs but labor and the greens have risen in the area still i think the libs will hold on but not definatley yet.

amazing race 8 leg 8

the final 5 families race to the mesa airport for a roadblock of doing a fliyng stunt and than race to the grand canyon for a clue that sends them to the glen canyon dam for the detour of either navigating the waters or bailing water. they race to the pit stop where the paolos (thank god) are eliminated.

  1. godloski family (3 firsts a record at the time for all girls teams)
  2. linz family (no first still)
  3. weaver family
  4. bransen family
  5. paolo family (eliminated)

next time utah and the yield.

amazing race 8 leg 7

after two legs out of the us they return but first have to grab a clue in the water of costa rica than a detour of painting a wheel or harvesting sugar cane. before flying to phoneix arizona the roadblock is another fear of the weavers (who threatens the paolos that they will get revenge for the yield) but the mum still does it they race to fort mcdowell the pit stop where the bransen family are last but not eliminated due to a navigational error.

  1. godloski family (first all girl team to win 2 legs)
  2. weaver family (when will they get first)
  3. linz family
  4. paolo family
  5. bransen family (non-elim)

next time flying stuns and the grand canyon.

survivor africa finale

the final 4 aren’t relaxed lex is angry at tom and it leads to an argument that makes lex want to take out tom but the plan is take out kim j the final 4 immdgbunity challenge is answering questions about the eliminated players won by kim j in a controversal tie breaker as the question was which female player has no pirecings on the body kim j was right with kelly but lex was right with lindsay so technically there should have been another question tom is voted out 3-1 as a result. The final immunity is hands on a hard idol after talking about the 13 eliminated players. Lex despite being sick tries his best and ethan goes out first but kim j stun everyone winning again she votes out lex. The jury questioning is interesting with brandons question of who doesn’t deserve it when ethan says brandon it costs him his vote kelly asks them to pick a number frank asks about qualities, kim p asks who helped learn about themselves. tom asks a silly question lex asks not sure and tehresa if they said anything regretful ethan is unlucky not to win unaminious but still is still the first winner by more than one vote 5-2. Ethan plays again in all-stars and winners at war lex and tom play in all-stars and tehresa is in the poll for second chance but is denied a spot. ethan goes on the amazing race. The reunion is hosted by bryan gumble no real news there. next season marquesas and the debut of boston rob.

afl 1912 the grand final record and guide

the big game of the season the grand final is going to be interesting with south trying to stop essendon going back to back but to do so they have to stop fred baring who was the diference with 3 goals in the prelim.

Essendon won 7.10 52 to 6.12 48 against carlton in the prlim to make the grand but south aren’t expected to be easy. Essendon won the semi earlier expect a good game.

continuing my look at old news stories.

the big news story is the terriost attack in bali the bali bombings 187 dead and a lot more injured inclduing north melbournes jason mcartney and mick martyn.

medicare is dying according to gps while the term is an overreaction but it is a porblem that making people not bulkbill is destroying the system they need to properally fund it out of the budget not with a medicare co-payment or something ridicilous i added a future prediction to that,

someone says hearld sun colomunist andrew bolt is fictional by left wing commedians uhm have you ever watched right ring nut job network sky news or read the hearld sun.

i would travel overseas even after a terroist attack if i avoid the danger area or the middle east (but obviously not now due to co-vid)

the fact that its bad for future kids health. Coal mines maybe made illegal at some point as a result in a big verdict while the case was thrown out it still says about the issue of climate change and the failings of the liberals on the issue who have destroyed our climate change policy and replaced it with nothing and even threw out a prime minister who had a semi decent policy on the issue.

the olympics will be in brisbane in 2032 now its been made offical by the olympic governing body.

the afl might keep changing the draw for future rounds.

todays news 20 july 2021

covid is still the biggest issue currently with england recklessly reopening their whole economy way too early in my opinion as the cases are still out of control there. Victorias lockdown will be extended at least five days maybe a week at this stage as case numbers are still too high and are now in regional victoria (Mildura). the debate on if queenslands premier should go to the tokyo olympics continues even though a liberal minister is not in trouble for going personally i think it’s not a really important thing but if its in the states interest it should happen and if its good enough for scomo to avoid hotel quarrentine she should too although i don’t think the olympics should happen anyway.

old news september 25 2002

welcome back to my coverage ofold news paper stories

the war in iraq looked more and more likely after tony blair explains the strategy and it looked like australia was going to join (which they do).

afl clubs in financal trouble and need more money to survive from the tv rights deal done the year before interesting brisbane the regining premiers and soon to go back to back are in debt by a huge amount.

amanda vanstone thinks parents want money on childcare places not on paid maternity leave which in my opiniion in a good idea despite it not being setled yet the pros and cons.

someone in the hearld sun opinion says they should take credit for a drought (which is more than ridicilous) when refering to the labor state goverenment.

a rare four club afl player scott cummings retires before getting to 200 games.

my vote on the old voteline question should the afl help struggling clubs my view is yes.

a liberal mp for herbert (the townsvile electorate) says the air strike is an act of terrorism over the top really.

survivor africa episode 2

after tribal clarence is more on sketchy ground due to the beans incident while the older samburu try and work on silas which worries lindsay of the younger crew the reward challenge is having to carry logs through a course and sort them out in order from biggest to smallest than one climbs to the top samburu wins confort items and the remaining supplies from day 1. On boran it seems that it is men v woman while jessie is sick. The immunity challenge is the disgusting food challenge which everyone has to drink cow blood (i’d be sick) it comes down to linda v kelly with linda winning immunity for samburu. At tribal its between clarence for trushworthiness or jessie for being sick and its jessie voted out 5-2.

old daily news september 24 2002

i am starting to write about old australian news that made the newspapers in melbourne (thanks to the state library of victoria for giving me the links and newsbank (i think) for publishing them) this is more of a summary and my modern take on the issues they do. i will also be doing sometimes a write up on the current issues of the day as well but this won’t be under the same title.

this is from both the hearld sun and the age the storie sources just for ballance. only stories that i find interesting will get mentioned.

the reason i picked this date is it is right in the middle of grand final week 2002 of the afl with simon black winning the brownlow medal the night before there is a lot of stories on that. with the unlucky port midfiedler josh francon who has his carrer runied by injury finished four votes behind him.

as the victorian election was coming up (some people wish it was now) they talk about the issues about the eastern freeway which is creating problems for the bracks goverenment.

john howard the pm of the time is in trouble with an international incident with zimbawe which in my opinion you gotta be careful on what you say and freedom of speech should be restricted to avoid hurting peoples feelings to the point of succide.

a principal at 25 in the mallee well it happened.

adeliade city threaten to pull out of the nsl mounths before it happened at least it happened not during this season.

germanys election was record close but it looks like schroder got back,

hope you enjoy my take.

survivor africa episode 1

16 new contestants arrive in kenya for the third season of survivor already split into two tribes boran and samburu. And are told about the dangerous animals that they will probablly encounter and the importance building a good shelter the contestants are

boran

diane ogden 42

jessie camchio 28

clarence black 24 (and he is black as well as his last name)

kelly goldsmith 22

tom buchannan 45

lex van den burghe 38

kim johnson 56

ethan zohn 27

samburu tribe

carl bialconhie 46

silas gaither 23

lindsay ritcher 23

brendon quinton 25

frank garison 43

kim powers 29 (yes thats two kims this season)

theresa (tbird) cooper 42.

diane is immeditaely sick on boran while the other tribe are quickly split by age with the young and old even in numbers not a good sign. Samburu win the first challenge another version of quest for fire winning immunity and matches. boran is clear to vote out diane until clarence opens the tribes food to share with diane which annoys the tribe but in the end they go strength over trustworthiness in a 6-2 vote with tom also voting for clarence with diane.

amazing race 7 leg 9

the four teams depart india for turkey robs overconfidence proves costly by lying about an earlier flight when he thinks his direct flight from delhi to instanbul but there is a better flight via dubai which uchenna and joyce as well as meredith and gretchen get (despite ron and kelly being misled by only hearing some of the info which was useless) the teams search for the travolosity roaming gnome (which i think is still a sponsor 25 seasons later and the gnome appears every season in some form) the clue sends them to another location for this legs detour of either searching a lot of colomons for a grid thing and than raise something out of the water. the more popular choice was finding the weights of a lot of people until a certain weight. The next clue sends them to a fortress for the roadblock of climbing it and than search for a key before repeling down the flights early on make a big diference but in a werid twist for a non-elimination leg and they get the trip because they found the right gnome (a weird twist.

  1. uchenna and joyce (getting good form)
  2. merredith and gretchen (first top 3 finish)
  3. rob and amber (interesting strategy)
  4. ron and kelly (non-elim) (20 000 dollar spree on travelosity) (will they recover)

no more predictions from now on for amazing race recaps.
