Graeme Jacobs Is in A Trouble

  I read on a politic article, and it is about Graeme Jacobs. The reason why I choose this article is that I think this news is interesting. I think he is a confident man, but he is also intolerant. Graeme Jacobs was a Water Minister. Moreover, the Premier asked him to quit his job.
  Three months ago, Kim Taylor, the Director General of the Department of water, was dismissed Dr Jacobs. It was because they had many problems with each other. Furthermore, there were many records that Dr Jacobs disputed with Mr Taylor. The Prime Minister said that if Dr Jacob did not leave his job, he would sack Dr Jacobs to leave his job. Dr Jacob refused the accusations. He said that he just discussed about changing the policy direction of the Water Department. Premier said that Dr Jacobs could do better than this, but not deserve to lose his job. Dr Jacobs said he apologized to Mr Taylor, but it was not Dr Jacobs's fault.
  Personally, I think I do not have enough informations or records about their disputations. However, both of them should find the way to solve problems. Dismissal was not work. Read the whole article, click here.

This video is not about this article, but I just show how he works.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption For Lobbyists










  I read an article, and it was about lobbyist overstatement. The reason that I choose this article is that it is quite appealing. I think if  lobbyists have an ability to take advantage to themselves, it is quite dangerous. In fact, a lobbyist is a person who tries to persuade to use legislations, and they serve a meaningful part.
  In New South Wales, Nathan Rees, the prime minister, told the Independent Commission Against Corruption that lobbyists has been overstated. Mr Rees said lobbyist had powerful and powerful as well. Therefore, he had to control them. Mr Rees said he was finding at potential corruption risk. Furthermore, he said that they were helped by journalists. Mr Rees said lobbyists was important because the big firms do not know how governments work.
  As for me, the article was really confusing. However, I think the governments should not give a power too much to lobbyist. It is because they could take things to granted. Hence, the governments should have justice and would not take advantages of them. If you need to read a whole article, please click here.

Disaster of ACCC Boss


  I read on a business article, and it is about the trouble of ACCC boss. I choose this article because I want to know more about this kind of business, but I really do not want to stick in this situation. However, His name is Graeme Samuel. He is the leader of the Australian Competition and Consumer commission. He is one of members of the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Moreover, he was the president of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
  Graeme Samuel, ACCC boss, could lose more than 50 million dollar with a huge debts. Samuel is the owner of DFO, Austexx. He said that his family's most valued property is the australian newspaper the stake in the firm. Besides, Austexx has been trying to sell the company with debt of 1 billion dollar.


  In my opinion, he has a really huge debts. I think he has to pay for all debts in a wisely way first, and then he would plan about his money spending. If you want to know more information, please click here.

New Product From Macquarie


 It is about a new product from Macquarie. The reason why I choose this article is Macquarie is a big company, so many people interested about it, including me. Furthermore, they told us many strategies, demands and supplies for business. Consequently, it is a advantageous news.
  Regarding the first, Macquarie Agricultural Funds Management is the firm that launches investment funds and services for investors. They had sent off a crop fund on grain and oilseed production in Australia and Brazil. They said that the fund went straight to get investors with made income gradually by the sale of the produce. They needed people turn to eat more healthy food. Besides, Macquarie said that the large properties and agricultural industries were at Australia and Brazil. Thus, this is the reason why Macquarie were chosen Australia and Brazil.
  Personally, as can be seen from paragraph 4 in original article that the ways and ideas of Macquarie were great. Although, Macquarie is not famous in Thailand, and I did not know them before. If you want to read whole article, click here.

Praiseful People from GREAT NORTHERN CLEAN UP 2010


  I read this news, and it is about registrations for people who want to clean Australia. I choose this news because there are too many pollutions today, so it is a really good thing to do that.  Nowadays, there are too many trashes in this world, so this registration is one way to clean up the Earth.
  First of all, Australians noticed that March weather made many garbages there. Therefore, they set up GREAT NORTHERN CLEAN UP to make things clean before the rain is come. The member, Ian Kiernan, said that there was about 90 tons of trashes removed. Amazingly, there were approximately 1800 volunteers across Northern Australia. He said that it was fantastic. They knew that they needed to clean garbages such as bottles, plastic bags, cans and cigarette butts before the rain picks them into the sea. As we known, it will make the sea unclean, and then it can harm all living things in the sea, including Australians.
  As for me, GREAT NORTHERN CLEAN UP is a really good opportunity. I think many countries such as Thailand, Italy, France and India should have this kind of activity for their countries. GREAT NORTHERN CLEAN UP still can register by visiting here. If you need more information, please click here.


Pollution Lost!

  The article is about electricity in Australia. The reason why I choose this article is that it is very interesting about emissions generated because I did not study about emissions generated before. However, this article is about the electricity emitted generated in Australia, and there was 11 per cent rise in renewable power.
  In Australia, the emissions generated by electricity decrease last year. Moreover, there was 2.5 per cent fell of pollution levels while renewable power increased dramatically to 11 per cent. Surprisingly, the most greenhouse intensive power stations made more, and coal emitted was down. Therefore, we should use the variable powers that gain less greenhouse pollution rather than the powers that gain more greenhouse pollution. More significant detail is that Victoria, New South Wales, Yallourn and Bayswater had the five dirtiest coal-fired power stations.
  In my opinion, it is very interesting news. Nevertheless, many factories in Thailand made many greenhouse pollution. Hence, it's really bad. I do really need them to understand how bad the greenhouse effect is. Click here for the whole news.

  I read an article, it is about interviewing 3 Australians who were sitting since yesterday, morning. They said that they were waiting for new products from Apple. Apple is the company that developed many new technogy such as computer softwares, hardwares, and digital distributions.  The most popular product is iPhone. The reason why I choose this article is that I am a big fan of these products too.
  There was 3 Australians, named Jack, Callum, Mitch, who have been waiting at iStudio for very long time. Callum said that he would be making a major upgrade his phone to iPhone 4. He would develope a flip phone to use new micro-SIM cards. After that, Jack said that he looking forward to improve the camera that allows in high definition. “It’s like you don’t have to carry around a camera anymore — it is good enough quality,” said he. Jack said that he own at least five Apple products. In fact, Optus showed that there were more than 100,000 people pre-register for iPhone 4 info today.
 In my opinion, I think these 3 guys had good ideas, but it sounded like they were crazy. They waited there more than 8 hours! However, I understand that. It is very exciting to wait for the new product especially Apple. Read full news, click here.
