Water restrictions lifted but warning remains


I choose this news because right now there are some countries that lack of water. They need it to survive.On the other hand , there are some countries that already have water , but don't know how to use it wisely. In this news , it is talking about the government said to the Perth residents that they don't need to return to reticulation. Although the winter sprinkler ban being lifted.
The government is very disappointed that there is an issue nearly 5000 warning for the beaches for three months ban about the Water Cooperation. Dr Jacobs said " the ban saved more than two billion litres of water.Moreover , there is more comment added by The Water Minister Graham Jacobs that people will be able to wa
ter their gardens two times a week now. He also remained everyone.They need to remember that Perth has become its second driest winter on record.Mr Barnett told people must initial reducing the water consumption. " This has been our second driest year so there is no doubt there will be tighter restrictions over the summer months, it's
inevitable." Said Mr.Barnett
To sum up , we all should save water especially in Australia. Australia is such a warm country , so Australian people should prepare and save up some water to do their daily activities.

I choose this new because right now climate change is the major problem that our world is having. It is very interesting that warm country such as Australia can
In this news, it shows us about the coastal regions that will be Tasmania's lives suffered from climate change. Ms.Louise Gilfedder reported that the Miena Cider Gum is already decrease according to the habitat changes in the highlands. She also gives examples the impact of drought,pets,insects has really given them a major concern issue, and the region might be extinction at first.
they are expecting that warmer temperature will increase, so the effect is the spread of invasive plant will go quickly such as root rot.
Ms.Gilfedder explained that the warming in the mountain probably allows plants diseases such as root rot fungus to climb up into mountain, and it could climb up into forests which is a nice way to stop the spread of the root rot fungus.


The Climate Change Minister Nick McKims tells there is action on the report happen is still months away while the species in the location such as the freshwater crayfish and the frog are remain in danger. Mr.McKims tells that it is one of part of process to develop the responsibility from government to the climate change, and they are expecting to complete it by the end of this year.David O'Byrne, the environment minister is saying that the method is moving progressively to protect the ecosystems and the biodiversity.

Survey finds graduates' mathematics doesn't add up


I choose this new because I believed that there are many people who have a lot of trouble with Maths as well.To be honest, when I was in my high school I didn't like this subject at all. I found it is very difficult for me to understand. In addition I dislike to remember the formulas and equations in Maths.Therefore, this is an interesting news for me why some smart people such as science graduates still have an issue with Maths. In this news, it tells us about Science graduates students are having a major trouble with their mathematics skills.
According to University of Queensland Australian Learning and Teaching Council project leader Kelly Matthews reported that she found out the result from the result only 65 per cent of students felt lack of confident with their mathematics skills.
Her assignments has confirmed that Maths could be a basic of another foundation learning skills.There was some comment added about terrifying in maths that there are some sciences graduates who is having a problem to do with changing in units.For example, They struggle to convert how many centimetres there are in a kilometre. That is really awful .Now, Ms Matthews and her colleague, Peter Adams, have ensured Australian Learning to look overseas and locally for programs that provided such a good quality of science graduates.
Professor Adams said that we are certainly concern about our student's numeracy skills. Ms Matthews said the project showed highly concern in the USA and Britain that science undergraduates weren't doing very well in with their Maths skills.The ALTC project target is to change and develop models for Australian curriculum in 2011.
In my point of view, it is a great idea to develop and improve Maths skills to the students by changing the curriculum. They should do something more fun with Maths not just teaching only in the classroom. I think if they do that there are many students will find Maths become very attractive and interesting subject.

Sydney Airport Accused Of Squeezing airlines' wallets

I choose this story because Sydney is the one main of destinations that passengers from all around the world visit by.It is a large airport, so there are over million thousand people used the service from Sydney airport every day.However, it seems that Sydney airport's fees has become expensive than previous.

In this news , it tell us about Many passengers have complains about airline's fare charges that it is very excessive charges.International Air Transport Association chief executive Mr. Giovanni Bisignani told in Sydney yesterday that tougher rules should be apply on the excursive airport such as Sydney to create the fairness for airlines and their passengers. In the past, Sydney airport was the one of world's costliest airport , but now it moved from 34 th place to ninth. According to rise the fees in Sydney Airport, The airline's passengers have the anger that they are forced to a lot of money while they also continue to purchase an expensive fees on everything from car park to coffee.
Mr.Bisignani declared to the guests at National Aviation Press Club lunch that Sydney Airport's pre-tax gaining margin 82 per cent in 2009 while another airlines worldwide lost about $10 billion. Mr.Bisignani said "We need profitable airline partners.However, they must be effectively regulated so that they do not abuse their monopolistic position."
Macquarie business MAp showed the half-year results yesterday which presented the majority-owned Sydney Airport added pre-tax profit 12.5 per cent to $ 180 million.
The IATA boss , on behalf of the airline who fly to Sydney, he will discuss the subject about cutting the airport charges with Sydney Airport chairman Max Moore-Wilton this week.
Lastly, Mr. Bisignani said a new or second Sydney airport was critically necessary for supporting of the New South Walse economy.
To sum up, I personally think that Sydney airport should stay the same rate as it was in the past. Otherwise, the passengers wouldn't like to visit the Airport because cost of everything at Sydney airport is really expensive. They might find an alternative airport which is cost cheaper than Sydney airport.

Abbott 'not seeking another election'


I choose this news because the politic always involved with the unfairness. Likewise, every politicians will use every kind of strategies to get themselves wi
n the election campaign. Although the victory that they received might have flawless, but I think it is very interesting whether it true or not that Mr.Tony Abbott doesn't seek another parties for an election.

In this news , it tells us that Tony Abbott has rejected about his planning to force another election. Senator Brown said that Mr. Abbott attempts to negotiate with three independent MPs to win in a hung parliament.


Mr. Abbott refused all the accusation, and he told the newspaper that he would like to make a current situation work. Even more evidence came up, after he denied to reveal the Treasury costing of his elections policies. While MP Tony Windsor has received phone call from a Liberal party representative, and he declined to name who it was. Mr Tony Windsor said " Someone in the Liberal called me today and gave me a mouthful of rubbish, saying why don't I just get on with it and go back to an election." The Labour and the Coalition needed 76 seats in the House of Representatives to form a government,and they both also required the support from independent MPs.In my point of view, I think this kind of rumours is frequently happened in every countries. Sometimes we can't proof it because the evidences are not too obvious. However, I think being every politicians should be a fairness for the election no matter how is the result comes out.They just need to do their best.

All that Twitters turns to gold: social media

I choose this new because Social network such as face book and Twistter have become commonly use in society. Although some people think it is a ridiculous thing, we are able to use the computer application such as social network to make our career even better . A recent research by Melbourne IT found about the small businesses which using social media were more likely to make higher revenues online.The result from the research showed that there were more than 3400 small businesses that use the Internet to do their business ,social media and mobile Internet. However, the major social network are Face book and Twitter.Damon Fieldgate, executive general manager of Melbourne IT's told social media is another communication channel.At the simplest level social media, Face book and Twitter are just advance channels to communicate with customers.The benefits for business that use social-network are to get feedback on time and build a good relationships with customers that created the image of strong sales.
