1. This is Tina Fey. On Saturday Night Live she performs devastating satires of the gormless Sarah Palin. She also created and stars in 30Rock, a sitcom about a TV station which won a swag of Emmies this year. You would think that Channel Seven would be glad to have the rights to this top American show, but no, they relegate it to 11.30pm on Mondays. Last week they shifted it to 11.30pm on Tuesday, and then at the last minute replaced it with boilerplate coverage of the US fi nancial crisis, mostly cribbed from CNN. Now 30Rock cannot be found anywhere on the channel. Such contempt for the viewer encourages us to watch pirated copies from the internet, although we couldn’t possibly recommend this. 2. Matt Damon catches his breath after the Moscow car chase in The Bourne Supremacy (Ten, Friday 8.30pm), one of the few franchise thrillers that maintains its quality and even improves as it goes on. 3. Perhaps it was a good idea to create an Australian Top Gear (SBS, Monday 7.30pm), but simply mimicking the sets and the set pieces (there’s even a ‘Stig’ test driver) emphasises how much more entertaining the English presenters are. 1 2 3 And the Australian version has eliminated the original from SBS’s schedule.

Community organisations in Richmond can now apply for a share in the Australian Government’s $21 million Volunteer Grants Program 2008. Local Federal MP Justine Elliot welcomed the opening of the funding round, an- nounced by Jenny Macklin, the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Serv- ices and Indigenous Affairs. The Government will expand items eligible for funding under the program to include petrol for volunteers who use their vehicles for volunteering purposes. “By subsidising fuel costs, the Government is delivering on its election commitment and acknowledges the pressure of rising fuel costs on not-for-profi t organisations and volunteers,” Justine said. “We recognise the enormous contribution made by the more than fi ve million volun- teers who work tirelessly to help the elderly, disadvantaged children and those who’ve hit hard times. “For the fi rst time, organisations will be able to apply for a contribution to reim- burse volunteers for fuel costs incurred during their volunteering work. Justine Elliot MP and Jenny Macklin, Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs welcome the Rudd Government’s expansion of “This new measure will assist volunteers eligible items for funding under the Volunteer Grants program to include petrol. who use their vehicles to support people in the community, including delivering food to the homeless, taking disadvantaged children to Saturday sports and visiting the Organisations can apply for grants of be- for their contribution,” Justine said. elderly.” tween $1,000 and $5,000 to purchase equipment – including computers, air con- For more information or to obtain an appli- The Australian Government has also ex- ditioners, mowers and sporting items used cation form and the guidelines please visit panded the eligibility rules for the Volun- by volunteers. www.fahcsia.gov.au or call the toll-free teer Grants Program to include school Par- hotline on 1800 183 374. “These new funding arrangements are one ents and Citizenship Associations for the Applications close Friday 17 October fi rst time. of the ways the Australian Government can assist community groups and volunteers 2008.
