On the face of it alcohol is so funny - you can take a potion that makes you so good at driving the government has to make it illegal

Practicing good journalism is difficult. But it's extremely important for democracy.

Nine recently gave a boss accused of misconduct a $1 million payout. It’s putting up Scotty Cam in a five star hotel for the Paris Olympics. But this very profitable company refuses to offer its journalists fair pay. That’s why we’re striking.

You want us to build from this - create a financial model that allows us to keep players like Shamar Joseph playing test cricket.

We lose money playing test cricket this needs a co-ordinated ICC approach.

Qantas has given access to its Chairman's Lounge to the prime minister's 22-year-old son.

Certainly puts the recent government decision to block extra flights that helped Qantas block out opposition in a new light!
