At 3:50pm, three police vehicles were photographed for exceeding the speed-limit.

Victoria - The place to flee
In "damned if you do, damned if you don't" circumstances, the PM visited some of Victoria's flood regions. Some people seemed encouraged to have Julia "on the ground" but others lambasted her for apparent political rhetoric and cliches, leaving some questioning her sincerity and wondering if it was the 'real' or 'fake' Julia that had visited.
Victoria's present State slogan is "The place to be"; maybe it should be "The place to flee"!Go to the Contact us page if you'd like to add this or other markart cartoons to your publication.

New media vs newspaper
As technology increasingly enables portable and instant media, younger generations adopt smart-phones like new friends, whilst older folk find it difficult or impractical to let go of their traditional newspapers.

A fork in the road for Ben Cousins
When Ben Cousins sought a new club to revive his AFL career, after being banished from the West Coast Eagles, it seemed surprising that Collingwood showed early interest in recruiting him. President Eddie McGuire had recently proclaimed the Collingwood club would not tolerate player delinquency since an incident in which player Heath Shaw had smashed his car whilst driving under the influence of alcohol. McGuire publically labelled Shaw's passenger friend (anonymous at that point) a "scaley mate" for allowing "a high profile footballer" to drive after he'd been drinking alcohol... Rather embarrassingly McGuire later discovered that Shaw's "scaley mate" was Collingwood team-mate Alan Didak.
