Iemma stands Noreen Hay down pending investigation

The Daily Telegraph confirms this. I reckon a few of her fellow Labor parliamentarians should be thanking Morris for his apparent inconsistency.

Mark Driscoll

I’ve subscribed to the Mars Hill podcasts featuring Mark Driscoll, and have been downloading his series called “Religion Saves + Nine Other Misconceptions”, which tackles 9 issues and question areas that were ascertained from polls and blog comments as being hot topics about Jesus and Christianity. These are the questions that the series addresses (with [...]

More corruption trouble…

News is filtering through that a Labor MP from Wollongong has directly been implicated in the ICAC corruption scandal. On his 2GB radio show, Ray Hadley has made mention of Noreen Hay being recorded speaking to one of the main parties being investigated, and ensuring fast tracking of a development.

Out of the Question

Glenn Robbins’ talent is being wasted in this rather uninspiring TV quiz show on Channel 7. I watched it for the first time tonight, after previously hearing about it not being as good as it could be. He seems rather awkward hosting his own show, where on programs such as The Panel, [...]

Horrible disfigurement and pain characterises her struggle with esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB), an uncommon malignant neoplasm of the nasal vault. In layman’s terms, it’s a cancer that has robbed [...]

Brett Lee wins the Allan Border Medal

And deservedly so. Fox Sports reports that Bing’s fabulous Test statistics over the past 12 months was what got him over the line ahead of Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting.
It really has been a mature rising to peak form for Lee, who is undoubtedly in the best form of a career that has been a [...]

Jarrod Sammut extends his Panthers contract to 2010

Fox Sports reports. Very important re-signing for Penrith – Sammut was quite impressive in the games he played last year and will be a key asset if they are to climb up the table in 2008.

What would you do if you were the FA?

This relates to what is truly one of the most horrific sporting injuries in recent memory – that of Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva, whose leg was…well, snapped…by Birmingham City’s Martin Taylor in an English Premier League game this past weekend. If you wish to see the sickening effects of Taylor’s challenge, see this News [...]
