Paul Zaidman & Anna Selleck are both partners in life and business; they are typical of the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of so many Australian couples who embark into the adventure of running their own business.
With extensive dance and life experience they were prepared to face most challenges to make their business successful, but like so many other small businesses in 2020, nothing could have prepared them for what they faced through the covid-19 crisis; or at least our government’s management of it....Click Here

Assange, an Australian son to be abandoned or rescued?
It can be difficult to attempt to be a person of ethics who sets themselves standards to live by. Once you have done so, then comes the attempt to meet those standards in your day to day life. God knows I have tried through my life only to come up short much of the time.
Once you have set those standards you have then guaranteed that you are walking into a minefield of incidents that could compromise those principles and have you looking like a hypocrite.
So why set them in the first place? For me, a definition of success has evolved in my life, that to be............Read More

Standing tall on both feet isn’t sinister, it’s courageous.
Words matter, misconstruing words can matter more, using words to raise emotions while empowering another agenda is deceptive, but for those who do not see through such deceptions for a lack of trying, is both foolish and dangerous.
Which brings me to professional sportspeople, politicians and celebrities.
Throughout 2020 we have had to endure many things, but one of the most grating things to witness is people who should know better taking a knee over something they don’t fully understand. This year, three simple words, “Black Lives Matter” have seen people who never should lose any ability for cognitive reasoning. Either that or they bow to pressure from certain groups for fear of being labelled a racist and if that is the case it’s worst than a lack of cognitive ability, it a lack of intestinal fortitude and moral courage......Read more

Melbourne Uni Black Angels take a step backwards, but now hope to leap forwards in 2021.
For most Melbourne based sporting clubs, 2020 was the season that never was, unless you belonged to an elite professional sporting organisation. This was no exception for the Melbourne University Black Angels who saw their BIG V basketball seasons for both their Men's and women's teams simple evaporate in a haze of COVID-19 precautionary measures.
For our founder and directory, this was especially frustrating as he was in his first year as the Men's head coach at the Black Angels. After coaching basketball both at junior levels for over thirty years to have an enforced layoff he did not want, prove to be challenging.
"We had a very promising young squad going into what would have been the 2020 season and then everything simply stopped the week before our first round. It was all quite surreal." ......Read more

Do you have a service to barter? |
|
|
In these difficult times businesses are low on revenue and cash flow making it difficult to pay for services. We are prepared to show some initiative for any business who would like to take advantage of our services we are more than prepared to enter into a bartering arrangement for any business that can provide a service that we would be interested in.
For example services that we are currently looking for include Dentists, Mechanics, Accountants, especially tax accountants, and auto electricians. We are though willing to talk to any business about potential bartering arrangements. If you're interested, send us your proposal to the email address below.

The Community Forum
Serving our local community
Over the the past two years and particularly earlier this year, we visited your business to promote our online newspaper and obtain your business email for our email newsletter.
Sadly once the COVID19 lock-downs commenced back in March we decided, like many others, to put the business into hibernation, anticipating that any lock-downs would only be for a short time.
How wrong we were.
The purpose of this email is make you aware of the advocacy efforts for small business we have commenced towards Federal and Government mp's and allow you to join and support us as we continue those efforts.
To understand our lobbying initiative and how you can support us then please read this email in full.
