Monday always seems so non-threatening from the vantage point of Friday. But it’s here and it’s never as fun up close. But don’t worry. We can make the transition back into the working week a little easier with the easy to digest bite sized pieces of news.
It’s everything you need to know … without the effort. Some would call it cheating. We like to make our own rules.
Enjoy!
1. Ita Buttrose says Gillard needs to call an election. Now.
The Herald Sun conducted a whip around of some high profile women to get the low-down on what they thought of PM Julia Gillard. Ita Buttrose was withering in her response, saying Gillard needed to tell the Greens and Independents that ‘the party was over’ and call an election now. Dawn Fraser said she didn’t agree with what the ‘refugees were getting’ and argued pensioners deserved more help. What’s your constructive criticism for the PM?
2. Easy Tiger airways, is this the end?
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has totally grounded the fleet of 10 Tiger planes until at least Saturday after a litany of safety concerns, pilot error and poor performance. The authority can legally only ground the craft for five working days but is believed to be seeking court approval to go for longer. The move would likely destroy the business model and see the Singapore owned Tiger removed from the air for good.
