The Crescent Moon drug syndicate supplied the drugs to the Australian syndicate the two condemned prisoners were involved in running. Normally you would expect such people would be protected by corrupt officials and law enforcement officers in Indonesia. Perhaps the AFP tipoff to their...

I'm not sure about them being highly trained. From the video I saw it's certain that at least one of them could fire an assault rifle and leave a compact pattern. The main thing, though, is they showed no compunction in using their weapons to assassinate their targets. Maybe they have killed...

Top Chef? Perhaps the Heston Blumenthal way. Heston's solution for getting a properly fried white without hardening the yolk is to cook them in two stages. Separate the egg and carefully drop the white into a hot pan and place over direct heat, or in the oven, until set. Then drop the yolk on...

My experience for air conditioning my home. From past work as a person responsible for a commercial building maintenance I had come to know air conditioning technicians. At the time their recommendation was to use Daikin brand inverter type units. Daikin only sell through their dealer network...

Just looked and a poster on another forum said Ferrier Hodgson advised them that a decision will be made late January. http://www.afr.com/p/business/companies/james_packer_backed_collapse_burnt_tqtc3Rfz2czz3a8UmM4ZWK The 40 per cent plunge in the crude oil price has claimed its first...

One thing to remember about Norway and the Norwegian Continental Shelf oil and gas exploration story is not just the level of taxation but the way the access licensing was originally set up. The Government created a company called Statoil with the principle of 50 percent state participation...

Successful Australian companies are progressively being bought up by overseas based multinationals. They then ratify operations and manufacture in the least costly country, just employing distribution and support employees at a market level. It's all about the bottom line with no consideration...

They had him on at the beginning of the siege. Urging that the police should go in straight away and not make the mistake of holding back. I got the impression that it was his view that the police should always charge in at the first opportunity in these situations. However the hostage taker...

Here's a representative of the Roger Montgomery discussing whether it's time to part with cash or not. Also I heard that yesterdays falls on the ASX were associated with low volume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-6Pz_74HGk

Due to our bi-lateral agreements with the USA when they ask for coalition partners we comply. If Labor was in Government they would do the same.

Well I'm not invested in BHP because I have no idea where their share price will be. Was just replying to a poster on a forum pointing out some things. First point supply side influence on the price of iron ore due to increased production with the second possibility of reduced demand yet to...

That's probably a 12 month price forecast. It was only a few weeks ago that it was near $40.00. I suppose a falling Aussie dollar might help them in the medium term once the sellers have stopped selling. Up till now iron ore demand in China has been fairly steady, but due to increasing supply...

It wasn't an ISIL flag. It was a black flag with writing on it that praised Allah. The police had been visiting him a lot lately because they and his family were concerned about his behaviour. His passport was confiscated when authorities learned he was planning to go to Syria. Presumably this...

If you had a problem with the card you would call the 24 hour helpline.

If you look at the young people that were the subject of the recent raids and news reporting they are the children of migrants. Some families migrated to Australia 10 to 20 years ago. One particular family mentioned were Afghan aristocracy and in Australia have professional type employment...

Well the bank stocks should stabilise once the overseas hedge funds have finished selling out in response to the falling exchange rate. At some point we should see buyers returning to take advantage of cheaper shares. With current rates in Australia and the cpi rate what it is cash holders are...

Add into the mix of what others have said a fall in the exchange rate. Many Australian stocks are held overseas and when the exchange rate drops and looks like going into a down trend many overseas holders will be sellers. When sellers outnumber buyers the sp trends down. The Aussie dollar...

Yes, it's especially bad in places like Mexico where the police can be the criminals and politicians and business leaders can be the perpetrators. I read an article on the weekend about an investigative journalist visiting Australia at the moment for the Festival of Dangerous Ideas...

Tala mashed potato, ice cream scoop. Made in England. Over 50 years old.

Some people like bagpipes but there's a time and a place. I was once having dinner at a restaurant and a chap arrived, stood near our table and started to play the bagpipes. I had to leave although the other patrons seemed to enjoy the droning.
