Today, basic details of the new Australian Citizenship Test were released, including a practice version on THIS government website. I slayed the test with a score of 24/25, making me a super Aussie, another mate of mine scored a 21/25 which made him, a bit of an Aussie, but an Aussie none the less. However, [...]

I had to post on the day of the offical digital radio launch today. It could be a historic moment in Australia. Or not.

The Normality of Bongs
Last night I watched parts of the new Channel 7 series, “Word’s Strictest Parents”, Australia’s version of sending our nastiest teens to other parts of the world. The show was funny and pointless but what caught my attention was

I’m eagerly awaiting the Iphone 3GS release with the idea set firmly in my mind that it will change my life. But I’m finding news articles about the Australian release underwhelming.

Recently we’ve been treated to media coverage on the tension between Indian people and everyone else in Australia resulting in a epidemic of Indian beatings. Once such place Indian beatings are on the rise is Melbourne where thousands of Indians (and friends of Indians) congregated to rally peacefully against racism towards Indians.
Not So Peaceful Rally?
