    There's an incredible amount of money available in mining, particularly at a high level such as the example you've provided. There's many people working FIFO who earn north of $150k a year, sometimes close to or even more than $200k working in positions that are in lower management or not even...

    Sri Lanka vs Australia - June/July 2022

    So 2-1 to Australia in the T20I matches with Sri Lanka claiming the ODI's 3-2. The "A" series ODD matches were tied 1-1 while Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the "A" first-class games 2-0. Onto the tests now with Australia 8/313 at stumps on day two, leading Sri Lanka by 101 runs. Certainly an...

    I recommend it, @Kram81. I've had a good experience with thus far and if you've got a decent internet connection then it should be fine.

    I agree, @Kram81. I've always thought the same thing. While the salary is quite decent, it does involve a lot of travel and a lot of work. There are people who are paid far more in this country for other lines of work. Being a senior member of a government or even leading a country is of high...

    The increase was 5.2% which is the highest such rise for a number of years and is slightly above the national inflation average at the moment. Business sectors and the previous conservative government were calling for a much lower increase so this latest escalation will at least see workers keep...

    Brilliant picture. Sydney Harbour and the Opera House looking very vibrant as is the boat.

    He'll be coaching before then. A team in Tasmania would be a good six or seven years away if the clubs agree to it, there's still a lot to play out before a vote is held later this year.

    It was a balmy 23.3 degrees here and sunny today. #thisismywinter

    Perhaps. I see the price fell more than 10% today, has dropped 19.75% in the past five days and has fallen close to 50% in the past six months.

    It is still very expensive regardless of which country it is in. Certainly a lot of money to pay to fill up a car, particularly for a litre of petrol, let alone putting in enough to fill up an entire tank. We haven't been paying A$1.35 per litre for petrol for some time now. It was close to...

    Geez, that is insane. I did read that Australia had some of the lowest petrol prices in the world. Europe is certainly very expensive in terms of the cost of fuel.

    Shield Thread.

    WA has four genuine pace bowling all-rounders at the moment, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Mitch Marsh and Marcus Stoinis. You can add in Hilton Cartwright as a batting all-rounder as well. A pretty remarkable effort to have all of them from one state. Not many of the other states have such...

    England vs New Zealand - June 2022

    England have named an unchanged side for tomorrow, Jack Leachhas passed his concussion test after a compulsory seven day break so will take his place in the side. Colin de Grandhomme is out of the series after suffering a heel injury so New Zealand will make at least one change. Henry Nicholls...

    England vs New Zealand - June 2022

    New Zealand reached 4/236 on day two, Daryl Mitchell reached 97 not out while Tom Blundell was unbeaten on 90. Unfortunately for the Kiwis, they collapsed to be all out for 285. Mitchell scored 108 and Blundell 96. Stuart Broad and Matthew Potts were the main wicket takers with three each...

    Interesting, I did think petrol would be a bit more expensive out your way. I imagine your main supermarket there is IGA? Things are certainly more expensive there than your typical Coles or Woolworths. I do find that produce is of a higher quality there but that prices are higher, no doubt...

    There's been a lot of spending by both sides, the Liberal Party have done a lot of that since they've had more time in charge but both sides will be guilty of that. No all debt is bad but wasting money is. I won't blame either government for the spending recently nor the spending when the GFC...

    I thought it was Pfizer, there was a desire to make an mRNA vaccine here as Australia does not have the capability to do that here which was why the AstraZeneca vaccine was made here locally by CSL. They needed to. The previous government neglected the area to the point where they were meeting...
