For a start, sympathy for any family that has to endure such a situation, but seriously:

“Chris and Brad Scott’s brother dies after tragic nut allergy death” (Herald-Sun)

"Tigers reject calls Yarran recruitment a mistake"

This is why punctuation is important.

I think they need to stop calling Matty Dea a reject. He’s not wrong though.

Perfect conditions
Brace for summer snake explosion
VICTORIA’S cold, wet spring means more — and bigger — snakes will be lurking around our homes this summer, reptile experts have warned.

  • the (over)use of the word, “explosion”, especially in the HS, is ridiculous.

But if most of the snakes explode, there will be far less live ones to actually bite people.
It would seem ‘the experts’ are wrong.
Isn’t this a good thing to report on?

If they do explode I hope they are not on planes.

There’s only one snake I wanna see exploding this summer … etc :wink:

They call him The Jet, because he can fly.

No. No he can’t.

What’s a tragic nut?

Anyone still in the Saga thread.

Rage rage against the dying of the light!

From the neighbouring thread:

There was some concern about McLachlan’s availability with Channel Seven raising concerns but influential manager Craig Kelly, who looks after both stars, has apparently smoothed the waters.

Just basic editing:

“And this year they are going global, expecting to raise more than $1 million this year thanks to a growing international love for our firey’s.”

Age editor-in-chief stood down.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/age-editorinchief-mark-forbes-stood-down-after-sexual-harassment-allegation/news-story/9acd5255129772391e28397a00e9ca98

The Age editor-in-chief Mark Forbes has been stood down after a sexual harassment allegation.

Confirming the action after The Australian put questions to The Age’s publisher Fairfax Media, the company said: “Mark Forbes has been stood down pending the outcome of an investigation that is underway.

“Fairfax is committed to a safe workplace and has zero tolerance for any behaviour that does not meet the highest standards. Alex Lavelle, editor of The Age, will oversee the newsroom.”

The Australian understands the allegation was made in relation to an alleged incident that took place at an event linked to the recent The Age Music Victoria Awards.

News of Mr Forbes stepping down after nine months in the top position coincides with the prestigious Walkley Awards in Brisbane this evening, the annual event to recognise and reward excellence in journalism.

Mr Forbes could not be reached for comment.

After starting his career at Fairfax as a cadet in 1985, Mr Forbes was appointed editor-in-chief of The Age in April.

He was installed as acting editor-in-chief in February, replacing Andrew Holden.

Prior to his appointment, Mr Forbes was The Age’s news director for three years, and prior to this, editor of The Sunday Age from 2009 to 2013.

At the time of his appointment to the editor-in-chief position, Fairfax editorial director Sean Aylmer described Mr Forbes as an outstanding journalist “with a keen news sense and belief in quality reporting”.

Mr Forbes has held various roles at the publisher over the last 31 years, including stints as defence and foreign affairs correspondent in Canberra as well as Indonesia correspondent.

He has also worked at ABC’s current affairs program Four Corners and Seven Network.

Fairfax Media is publisher of The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, WAToday, Brisbane Times and the The Canberra Times.

Good.

Good.

From the courier mail:
“A CHILD rapist has been jailed a decade after his crime when a mother realised what he did to her daughter while cleaning her room.”

Not sure who was cleaning the room.
