    P lu n g in g 5 into politics Should sports stars dive in? When you consider what makes a successful politician, three things stand out: to succeed, a politician must be reasonably popular, they should have a fairly high profile, and most important of all, they have to be credible. If that’s basically what it takes, there’s a select band of Australians boots. "Some translate their public standing into lucrative who have all the right qualifications in spades - Australia’s top sponsorship deals, or a career as a commentator," she says. sports people. Jackie Kelly says sitting politicians are lucky that more elite sports Most of our best sportsmen and women boast the sort of profile people don’t attempt to win seats in Parliament. “They’d do very and popularity a politician would kill for, and it seems everything a well,” she says, "at least initially. However, when they came to put sports star utters, no matter how banal, finds its way into the media. themselves up for a second term, they'd be assessed just like every other politician." It’s surprising then that so few of our top athletes have translated their public standing into a political career.

Supervisor Derrill Shinabery oU Greenbush Township introduced a resolution that the board ,decline to accept the federal participating costs and that the federal government be reimbursed the money that it has expended, to date for additional architectual fees (reportedly about $I,,084). The resolution garnered the votes of seven supervisors, but the other 13 present at the meet­ ing turned it down. The result seemed to be that the board will go along and accept federal funds, although no such application for the funds was approved. Shinabery told, the board his resolution was not intended to scrap the emergency operating center, but' merely to retain control by the, county over the future use of the emergency operating center portion of the east wing. The resolution was introduced at the board's afternoon session. Early in the morning session, the board heard Capt. Edward A. Lenon, commanding officer of the civil defense division of,the ST.

  • 27 June 2006 EDITORIAL: a More Sustainable
    27 June 2006 EDITORIAL: A more sustainable Australia needs better public policy By Michael Mullins & James Massola The online magazine New Matilda may be Eureka Street's competition, but it shares with us the conviction that better public policy is the key to achieving a fairer and more sustainable future. The long-term good of the nation is at the heart of New Matilda’s recently-launched Reclaiming our Common Wealth. It's a campaign that aims to inject into a regime of policy development, a degree of rigour, and values such as good citizenship and ethical responsibility. The questions posed, and suggestions made, go beyond the ‘What’s in for me?’ approach that dominates our national Zeitgeist. The questions are more profound, and more vexing, than current political leaders would have us believe. The document Reclaiming our Common Wealth would see our laws formed not on the basis of whim, or political expediency, but something much deeper. During its 16 year history, Eureka Street has tried to play a part in setting the agenda for national public debate. We have not gone to the extent of formulating policy like New Matilda. But many of our articles have policy input as their underlying agenda. For instance, in this issue Frank Brennan highlights the need to work out policies that address ethical questions that accompany the medical breakthroughs promised by embryonic stem cell research. He warns against the dangers of a fundamentalism or intransigence in some religious leaders, that is disengaged from the conscience of the nation. But the same time, he says some of the promoters of the research 'have played fast and loose with the processes of political deliberation.' If Brennan sees fundamentalism and impatience as the enemies of good policy, Francis Sullivan identifies timidity and loss of nerve as major stumbling blocks.

Gleeson Pty.Advertiser Ltd., at the Office, 53 Herbert Street, Allora, Q. 4362 “Since 1935” Issued Weekly as an Advertising Medium to the people of Allora and surrounding Districts. Your FREE Local Ph 07 4666 3128 - E-Mail [email protected] - Web www.alloraadvertiser.com THURSDAY, 30th JUNE 2016 ALLORA & THE BOER WAR Following on from the publication of the book “Keeping their Memory Alive” telling the stories of the men from the Allora district killed in WWI, the Allora and District Historical Society have decided to research the involvement of men from the Allora district in the Boer War, and the actions of the citizens of Allora during the war. The Boer War was fought in southern Africa from 1899 to 1902 and commenced before the Federation of the Australian colonies. It was fought between up to 500,000 troops from Great Britain and its colonies, and approximately 75,000 Boers who were Dutch and French Huguenot settlers in Transvaal and the Orange Free State fighting to retain their freedom from Great Britain. The Allora district’s involvement in military matters dates from November 1888 when a Rifle Corps was gazetted and steps were put in train for the purchase of land for a rifle range. In 1898 a sign-on took place for the Queensland Mounted Infantry in Allora. The Allora district soldiers made up a detachment of G Company of the Q.M.I. based in Warwick. In July 1899 the Queensland Government offered troops to assist Great Britain in its fight against the Boers in southern Africa.

    paramore after laughter full album download MQS Albums Download. Mastering Quality Sound,Hi-Res Audio Download, 高解析音樂, 高音質の音楽. Paramore – After Laughter (2017) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz] Paramore – After Laughter (2017) FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96kHz | Time – 42:38 minutes | 909 MB | Genre: Rock Studio Masters, Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | Front Cover | © Fueled by Ramen. After Laughter is the fifth studio album by American rock band Paramore. After Laughter represents a departure from the usual punk pop and alternative rock sound of their previous releases. The album touches on themes of exhaustion, depression and anxiety, contrasting the upbeat and vibrant sound of the record. Upon release, After Laughter received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the band’s new sonic direction and the 1980’s new wave and synth-pop sound on the album. We know, we know, Paramore isn’t just Hayley Williams. Paramore is a band. But when every roiling, addictive album is directly fueled by the discord of yet another lineup change, you start to wonder: Should the hole left by the most recently departing bandmate be considered an official member of the band? It’s a thought you can’t help but mull over listening to Paramore’s crackling fifth full-length album, 2017’s After Laughter. The lineup this time features Williams, guitarist Taylor York (a member since their 2007 sophomore effort Riot!) and original drummer Zac Farro, returning after an estrangement since 2010. Notably not present here is bassist Jeremy Davis, who left for the second time in a huff of legal disturbances in 2015.
