ACTU pleads for rate rise amnesty
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is being urged to consider the plight of working families when deciding whether to increase interest rates this week. Analysts say higher than expected December quarter inflation figures and solid domestic demand give the RBA a strong case to increase interest rates at its board meeting in Sydney tomorrow. If the bank's board does decide to raise rates, they will be at their highest level in 12 years. The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) says low and middle income families cannot afford another rise, and the RBA should hold rates at current levels until the full impact of the global financial situation becomes clearer. ACTU president Sharan Burrow says many families already have their finances stretched to the limit by mortgages, credit cards and other loans, and the RBA should look at other economies.
Ministry does not accept cheating
Update: 12:53PM THE Ministry for Education has a zero tolerance policy to cheating in exams and it is investigating the case of a teacher and an exam supervisor allegedly leaking a Chemistry answer paper during the Fiji School Leaving Exam last year. In a statement issued on Friday the Ministry stated that in relation to the allegation raised against the teacher, the case is under investigation and the officer concerned will be notified in due time of the decision. Given that the academic year has just started, the Ministry would like to remind teachers and students that the Ministry has a policy of zero-tolerance for cheaters, the ministry stated. All educational provision in Fiji is based upon a core of intrinsic and enduring values, some of which are, honesty, fairness and respect for truth and justice.
Pot calling kettle: 'Look how stoned she is!' Britney says of Amy ...
Seems Britney Spears gave quite the play-by-play analysis Sunday night as she watched the Grammy Awards. A source who was with her shared these comments from the troubled star during the 3-1/2 hour broadcast: • Though Spears expressed admiration for Tina Turner's energy-packed duet with Beyonce, she did get snarky about the younger megastar's moves on stage. "She sure knows how to toss her hair," said Britney. "Too bad she can't dance as good as Tina who's old enough to be her grandmother!" (Given Spears' own embarrassing performance at the Video Music Awards last fall, I think she'd be more careful before criticizing someone who looked far better dancing and singing than she did!) • Also given Spears' own struggles with addictions, she seemed less-than-gracious commenting on Amy Winehouse's set via satellite from London.
