Today, I’ve written to the Prime Minister to demand an immediate halt to new 786 visas for Palestinians and to begin the return of those here temporarily, now that the war in Gaza has ended. The conflict is over. Rebuilding has begun. That means it’s time for those who have been

For those who have been following, I have been in a mammoth David vs Goliath battle against Consumer Affairs Victoria over a routine Freedom of Information request I sent in 2023. And it is over. I won! https://t.co/EjGWKhLc3L

Adelaide Crows fans beware! Viagogo hosting ads for illegally inflated tix to the Collingwood game. Tix originally $105 being sold for up to $520. Penalties for breaching 10% mark up laws in SA are up to $20,000 for individuals or $100,000 for a company...but requires enforcement
