Lucky that Waverley Police Station is pretty much across the road

We managed to avoid it coming up for 4 years! They have offered to talk about it but I don’t think I want that. At the time I obviously had questions about what happened on the beach, but now the details seem unimportant - I know dad was well cared for and that is enough. I am not sure how to...

About six years ago my dad died in a surf accident. I recently was talking to a friend I have made since then, and we worked out that they were the person who pulled him out of the water and gave him CPR. I’m not sure what do do with this information. Obviously I have thanked them profusely and...

My wife has been pretty sick and depressed for the last two weeks and has barely left the house I just dragged her out for a quick lunch at our local cafe between meetings - we are sitting at one of the outdoor tables having a quiet sandwich, enjoying the sunshine... and a car drives past and...

I too would sign a petition to put INXS in an iron maiden

People who don't know how to use Slack Them: Hi (five minutes later when I see the message) Me: Hey mate, what's up? (five minutes later when they see the message) Them: I have a question (five minutes later when I see the message) Me: Go for it! (five minutes later when they see the message)...

In average terms, the average Australian worker pays a similar overall rate of tax to the average OECD worker - that hides a lot of complexity however. The tax wedge is the ratio of tax paid by a single worker vs the total cost of employing that worker. It measures the extent to which taxation...
