- Watchdog probes NAB rogue traders. 14/01/2004. ABC News Online / NEWS.com.au | NAB's $180m nightmare loss (January 14, 2004). What a stuff up. No doubt they'll hike fees on us now; despite the fact the bank posts billion dollar profits every other year and can wear $180m like it's petty cash. But no, shareholders might experience a ten cent loss; so hit the customers...
- US dairy farmers fear free trade deal. 14/01/2004. ABC News Online. They think 150,000 jobs would be lost? Err... right. Just how much fucking dairy do they think Australia is going to export?
- NEWS.com.au | Rum deal for bear and beer man (January 14, 2004). The Bundy Bear is apparently so "cute and cuddly" that he appeals too much to kids. It really wouldn't have occurred to me, actually; although the idea of kiddies getting into the Bundy and going aggro is pretty disturbing (ever seen a rum-fueled mean drunk? not pretty). All told though; couldn't we ban the rum and keep the bear? :)
- Qld Greens claim Labor 'dirty tricks'. 14/01/2004. ABC News Online. Dirty tricks in an election? SAY IT AIN'T SO!
