Update from Bundaberg

Update from Bundaberg

Sorry John, I dont have grad pictures but I’m organising for my mum to send me some. I thought an update would be just as good though. Well first full-time job and it’s go go go. Seem to be at work for a fair chunk of the day but I’m really enjoying it, can’t complain(…)

Congratulations Merrin!

Congratulations Merrin!

I would like to speak on behalf of all Jschool students in congratulating our peer Merrin Jagtman on securing a cadetship at the BBC in Essex. What an awesome achievement! Its not me, and I’m excited. However, its sad (albeit exciting to) that Jschool will be finishing soon and some of our classmates will be(…)

Last few DEX days

When I last posted about my DEX work experience it was on a Wednesday, so here is all of the Thursday/Friday action that followed. Well actually Wednesday night was pretty full on, couldn’t sleep all night due to kids playing up outside on bikes, made even worse by their parents shouting out gems like “You(…)

Andrew Bolt gives Prof Henningham a big wrap!

I know he will be embarrassed by my posting this but I think it’s great kudos from a well-known man in the media industry. -> have a look here Politically, I don’t agree with the vast majority of what Bolt says (Liberal Party spokesman, Howard and G.W Bush champion, blaming the harmless Judas Priest on(…)

Not explosive but good none-the-less

Hi all, just thought I’d put a quick few words up about my last few days here at the Grafton Daily Examiner (DEX if you’re in the know). Nothing dramatic like a bomb scare (sounds cool Merrin) but I have been kept pretty busy. The editor here is a cool guy and the news conferences(…)

StK 16.12.108 df. BL 7.15.57

StK 16.12.108 df. BL 7.15.57

For those who missed it, St Kilda made a mockery of their 15 year losing streak at the Gabba to annihilate the hapless Brisbane Lions by 51 points. St Kilda dominated from start to finish, but potential last gamer Michael Voss can hold his head up high after a great performance for the losing team.(…)

Something for Australian football clubs to think about?

Something for Australian football clubs to think about?

From Britain’s The Guardian: It is a sport where men are men, players who go down injured are derided as ‘poofs’… …Yet Manchester City (English soccer team) have decided to challenge football’s taboo by becoming a champion of equal rights, hiring gays to work at its stadium and training ground and attracting new supporters from(…)

Week 2 at the GCB + pics!

Week 2 at the GCB + pics!

Well Monday was the quietest day I had at the GCB, and that’s saying something! Nothing was happening on the scanner, nothing major from the weekend and nothing on the rounds. Because it was quiet, after doing some vox pops I trawled through hansard and found some good stories. They didn’t get a run but(…)

Sir Paul McCartney

If Sir Paul developed a pokie machine gambling addiction costing him millions, could he say he had been robbed by the one armed bandit and a one legged bandit?

Funny stuff

Funny stuff

Don’t you think its funny that Labor MP Nita Cunningham, the one who quit suddenly due to ill-health, and in effect triggered the election, is the member for Bundaberg? Ill-health, Bundaberg. Ill-health, Bundaberg. Ill-health, Bundaberg… hmmmm I wonder if she checked into hospital.

Update on my classic “media watch” post

Update on my classic “media watch” post

Well on my first post ever I told you all about my poor friend Justin Koschitzke and his injury woes (if you remember Media Watch bemoaned the fact that he was the first story on Channel 9 news one night, rather unfairly I thought). Well GREAT news he made his comeback today (Sunday), played a(…)
