	Massive mobilisation of workers all over Australia
		The workers of Australia have responded massively because they want to see an end not only to the IR laws but also to the government that has promoted them.
		One particular segment of the broadcasts that was indicative of the differences between the leadership and the rank and file were the interviews with the sacked workers from WA (See also Australia: Defend the 107 - Defend the right to strike).
		Whereas the Union leaders have accepted these laws the workers are showing far more spirit as in one interview, one sacked worker stated clearly that under no circumstances would he be paying the fines that he has been given, even if it means going to jail.

		Extreme was actually a highly underrated band that encompassed elements of Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Van Halen.
		Extreme's debut, however, is not up-to-par with those albums and is just another good, but untimely forgettable pop-metal album.
		Extreme has always had the ability to write and compose songs that seem simple, even shallow on the surface, but that have much deeper meanings, and are themed much more seriously upon closer examination.

	Ayers Rock, Australia
		This huge rock rising to a height of 348m above the surrounding plain, with a circumference of almost 9 km, consists of sandstone and conglomerate strata steeply tilted by earth movements.
		Weathering as a result of extreme variations in temperature and by water and wind erosion produced the gullies and scars, and the oxidation ('rusting') of iron in the rock gave it its red coloring.
		The distance to the top is 1.6 km, but it is a steep ascent at some points; the climb takes about 2 hours there and back.

		Here the crocs grow to 25 feet in length, and are found not only all over the freshwater rivers of northern Australia, but also in estuaries and even out to sea, too often lurking on the land between.
		The government sanctions the culling of 1.5 million kangaroos each year, but crocodiles have been protected since the '70s, and their numbers are increasing -- as are the numbers of close encounters of the crocodile kind.

		The tragic story of Vivian Alvarez Solon has exposed a systemic failure in the Immigration Department, humiliated a cabinet minister and increased pressure for a more compassionate approach to those in detention.
		This points to an institutional and entrenched blindness by the department.
		John Hodges, former Liberal immigration minister and current chairman of the Government's Immigration Detention Advisory Group, says detainees presenting with "extreme signs of mental illness should be given very special treatment before any hasty action is taken".

	BROKEN BONES IN DOGS - Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia
		If there are no breaks in the skin and the dog is limping, you should look for deformities in the extremities, which are most commonly fractures, sprains, or strains.
		Some of the disadvantages of casts include the need to keep them clean and dry, the need for frequent changes and re-evaluations, and the possibility of developing cast sores, which would mean discontinued use of the cast.
		However, Dr. Johnson points out that in some cases the advantage of cast use, no surgical invasion of the tissue surrounding the fracture, outweighs these disadvantages.

	Going Extreme in the Outback
		It's a format that increases the pace of the contest—running anywhere from a total of 20 to 35 hours to complete—while also requiring teams to match personnel to disciplines according to their respective strengths.
		Luckily, a last-minute sponsorship from Qantas Airways afforded me the opportunity to race in Australia, but unless I could join a team that had competed in at least one of the prior races (and so "inherit" its points from those earlier stages), the deficit to qualify for the Raid World Championship would be insurmountable.
		Worse still, my regular teammate, Debra McInally, had broken her foot two weeks prior to the Kalbarri race, so I was left hunting for some new running mates at the 11th hour.
