Stonington board members boycott meetings to scrap $1.8 million marketing plan

“Chrissy did not use her card for personal purposes,” O’Donnell said. “There have been occasions when payment defaulted by mistake using the wrong card. On those occasions, she notified us immediately and reimbursed the money.” The Chapel Street Association paid WTFN $40,000 to use Bondi Fit Dr. Kate Adams promoted the retail sector as friendly to dogs, and paid celebrity gardener Jamie Dorey $70,000 for promotional videos, including one on sustainable shopping.

Sharp N Smart ready to add Victoria Derby to Spring Champion success at Randwick

“I just had to take my medicine but what I was able to do was get him into a really good rhythm, he wasn’t expending any gas, and I knew I had the two to beat right in front of me. That’s why I didn’t push forward. To take them in the jeep, I waited for them to pump pressure in each other. I did my work around the track but they did their job from 700m to the line and the best horse came out on top.” Strong westerly winds played their part all day and Bowman was happy to be on the show of three and use the horseshoe cover around him. “Being an avid golfer, I know how much wind helps and the wind hurts and the wind was on our butt up to 1,000 and then it was covered up to the corner of the house,” Bowman said. “I did really well on this occasion, it wasn’t always the case, but without a top athlete I wouldn’t have been able to do it. He was screaming for these distances and now that he’s hit it, it should be a live opportunity in the VRC derby. I hope that I can go and ride it.” Blake Shinn gave the perfect Elliptical ride and was thought to be the winner before the strong resident defeated him late on. “He is brave in defeat. The winner was very good that day but he was a very promising horse going forward,” Shane said. Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Brisbane Council issues emergency flood warning

“Peak rainfall should occur during Sunday morning, with clearance likely from the southeast by late evening.” On Saturday, parts of Wide Bay received nearly 300mm, with Tin Can Bay cutting 288mm and rainbow shore 264mm. Windy weather is expected in Brisbane on Sunday as it moves lower south from the Wide Bay area.attributed to him:nine Flood warnings are now in effect for the Mary River, Warril Creek, and the Bremer River (the lower watershed of the Brisbane River), as well as the Logan and Albert rivers. Storms are still possible on Monday and Tuesday but by Wednesday the weather will be “mostly sunny.” The office said storms were expected as the “low pressure system” drifted south from Hervey Bay. Earlier on Saturday, heavy rain fell around the central Queensland coast, causing minor flooding near Maryborough and Bundaberg. Meteorologist Helen Reed said the Sunshine Coast had already received nearly 300mm in the 24 hours through Saturday morning. “It appears that the trough system that has moved very slowly across the state in the past few days has created a focal point from that depression just north of the Sunshine Coast,” she said earlier in the day. “He’ll hang around with the intent of producing lots and lots of rain and thunderstorms.” Reed said the rain in Brisbane would be the heaviest on Sunday. “today [Saturday]It could rain, but tomorrow it will be very wet.” Initial flood warnings were issued for some coastal rivers of Wide Bay, and early flood watch was issued for the upper Brisbane and Locker Creek areas. “We wouldn’t rule out the possibility that an already wet watershed could pick up more than it can handle,” Reed said. The bureau said a separate severe thunderstorm warning will be issued if severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain are detected. A windsurfing hazard warning will go into effect Sunday for Fraser Island and the Sunshine and Gold coasts, according to the bureau, affecting rock fishing, boating, surfing and swimming.

Parmesan brand fights in court as Italian cheese makers challenge Kraft

The ingredients included are milk, salt, initiator culture, enzymes and an anti-caking agent. The minimum aging of Parmigiano Reggiano is 12 months, and the average ripening period is 24 months. Both the Consortium and Kraft produced dictionary definitions to support their arguments. Tracy Berger, a representative of the Registrar of Trademarks, said Australian cheese consumers are unlikely to confuse Kraft’s blended product with Parmigiano-Reggiano wedges produced in Italy. “It is plausible that someone … did not mention in his testimony that if they saw cheese carrying cheese [Kraft] A brand they think was Parmigiano Reggiano, from or connected to Italy,” “Australian cheese consumers, whether they are ‘informed’ or ‘uninformed,’ understand that Parmesan has more than one connotation.” Caterina Borsato, owner of Cucina Bar Caterina in Melbourne’s Central Business District, is one of the restaurateurs who have given evidence in the case on behalf of the Parmigiano-Reggiano consortium. She said real Parmesan cheese is made in a certain region of Italy under certain rules that maintain quality.

If you use the word Parmesan, you think it’s Parmigiano.” Cheese expert William Studd also spoke on behalf of Italian producers in the case. Tell the age And the Sydney Morning Herald The two products couldn’t be more different. “It’s chalk and cheese, the pre-grated stuff sold in little shakers, smells and tastes completely different,” he said. “It portrays a shoddy product as something it isn’t and I think it’s misleading.” The Parmigiano-Reggiano consortium recently filed an appeal in the Federal Court seeking the Australian Trademark Office’s decision to be overturned.

Ponting Windies calls it a disgrace for T20 World Cup failure

loading The West Indies are set to kick off Australia’s test summer with matches in Perth and Adelaide, starting in just over a month, and back again next season for more testing, but Punting fears it will be uncompetitive. “I was [concerned] Anyway, to be honest,” Ponting said. “I didn’t need to see that to make me more anxious about my first two test matches, but it’s interesting that they’ve actually found a way, mainly at home in the last few years, for me to be reasonably competitive. on the test front. “ The West Indies’ recent Test series was a 1-0 home win against England in two games, but Ponting said Australian conditions were very different from the slow, low pitches of the Caribbean. “They will have to find some legs if they are to compete against the Australians with the current group that the Australians have,” he said. “If you just put them on paper, there’s no way you’d think they could be competitive.” Cricket Australia believes the Windies’ recent Test record offers hope in competitive matches, citing their recent defeat in England. “They have had some good test results recently,” said a spokesperson for Cricket Australia. “It will not be an easy task.” Watch the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup live and for free on Channels 9 and 9 now Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Anamoe enhances the champions position in the weight-for-age championship

On a weekend where not much went for the Moonee Valley Racing Club scenario, Saturday’s Cox Plate went exactly as James MacDonald and James Cummings had planned for race favorite Anamoe. Returning to his bout 12 months ago when he was three years old, Anamoe carried the weight of the Valley crowd to the straight, bravely stopping Anna Thunderstruck and importing El Bodegon into an epic version of the weight-age championship. It may not have been since Winx’s fourth Cox Plate game of 2019 was a favorite that held more expectations at Cox Plate, but from the moment the barriers opened to the roar of the crowd, Anamoe seemed destined to win, and when he crossed the line, the punters applauded and the champion cheered Australia medium distances. Anamui and jockey James MacDonald won the Cox Plate on Saturday.attributed to him:racing pictures Anamoe’s resume is now close to flawless. Placements in the Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper as a two-year-old highlighted his maturity as a juvenile, while his three-year-old had come of age, severely short of Golden Rose and Cox Plate, but split those races with a win. My bed is on Caulfield Guinness. His fall Rosehill Guinness win of the year was out of this world, but it will be the spring of 2022 that racing fans will remember for a long time. He did what he had to do to claim the Winx Stakes, the George Main and the Might and Power Stakes on their way to Saturday’s main event, but Cummings was going to give up all three of those wins to take home his first Cox Plate – his grandfather Bart’s race he won five times. If there’s any parallel, it’s with the two-time winner of Anamoe and Bart So You Think, who claimed consecutive Cox Plates were three and four years old in 2009 and 2010. Last year’s edition, Anamoe will also have two Cox Plates. Severe weather threatened to cover the chances of the race favorite, but the afternoon proved glorious as the track dried up after a deluge on Friday night and Saturday morning. The track started with a heavy 8, but raced a little better than that, with McDonald getting an early taste of the track over Francesco Guardi in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup. MacDonald, undoubtedly the number one Australian jockey, did not make a single wrong step on the horse. He fumbled straight to fourth, with crocodile blood sitting outside Zaki in an even tempo race, with Profondo near the fence. Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Anamoe establishes himself as a hero with victory

Anamoe has ranked himself the best horse in the country with his dominant victory at the Centennial edition of WS Cox Plate where he was better than last year when he was runner-up at the best weight class in Australia. It was a great ride from James MacDonald who rode Anamoe like he was on the best horse of the race sitting fourth until the tempo rose at the 300m mark when he moved the horse wide to sprint down leader Zaki as I am. Thunderstruck and El Bodegon chased after him to run for second and third. Passionate James Cummings – grandson of legendary coach Bart Cummings – said it was a humbling experience for him to coach the winner who now has one set of fours when he was four years old. Jockey James MacDonald takes Annamoy to victory.attributed to him:Getty Images “It’s a proper Cox board and a humble privilege to win it,” Cummings said. He said the difficulties in preparation would “push an inferior man into the bottle” as he considered winning the race at Godolphin’s stable with Anamoe stopping after his first set in this campaign, which saw him recover for three weeks. Anamoe has now won more sets of Godolphin than any other horse, having finished second at State of Rest in 2021 and then failed to win the race in the hosts room after protest. He is the first horse to win the race after being runner-up the previous year since El Segundo won the race in 2007 having finished second in 2006 behind Fields of Omagh. It was McDonald’s Cox Plate’s first win as champion Kiwi Hope said it was the race he wanted to win the most. “It goes back to Greg Childs and Sunline, Glenn Boss and Makebe Diva. These are the races you lived and dreamed of as a child and I now live in them,” MacDonald said. Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Fitzroy Balcony brings in $1.46 million as more auctions hit the market

Despite the large crowd, no one raised their hand to make an offer on the stunning property, which was once two separate homes. The couple joined a Victorian balcony to their original home, a converted stable, in the early 1990s. Thornton, known for her roles in The man from the snowy river And the TV series sea ​​changeBurstall bought the stable for $30,000 in 1977. Australian actress Sigrid Thornton and her husband, film producer Tom Bristol’s home, have sold in a single auction, worth $3.9 million. attributed to him: Records showed that they bought the adjoining balcony in 1991 for $153,000. Nelson Alexander Carlton’s manager, Nicholas West, said the sale was “not intended,” but was confident it would be sold out within two weeks. At a previous auction, in Brunswick, West said a two-bedroom Victorian balcony sold under the hammer for $1,315,000 after four bidders competed. The home, located at 21 Bishop Street, was completely renovated prior to entering the market and has been acquired by an investor. “It’s a really interesting market where you can have four bidders in one auction and then nobody in another,” he said. Across town, in Brighton East, a modern four-bedroom townhouse at 12a Beltane Avenue sold for $2.26 million after two bidders battled. The home sold above $1,975,000 to $2,165,000. Bids started at $2.05 million, with “good competition” seeing it sell, said Matthew Bellius, director of Marshall White Bayside. A five-bedroom, Art Deco home at 21 Parker Street, Ormond had six bidders up for grabs, with 66 bids submitted before the home sold for $2,292,000. That was higher than the $2.17 million reserve. Kristen Henderson, partner of Port Phillip and Bayside Agency, said it was “one of the craziest auctions” for quite some time. A young family bought the house, beat up other families, and one seller was left in tears after losing it. “It’s just a good family home with a lot of space, and it’s going to grow with a family,” Henderson said. “This is very rare at the moment.” In Toorak, a beautiful 2.5-bedroom apartment at 1/13 Denham Place under the hammer sold for $1.13 million to a young family. The property, which was a long-term investment for the seller, who had owned it for more than 20 years, had a price tag of $900,000 to $990,000. Buxton Stonnington Harley Toyle dealership said the property was immediately put on the market after an opening $1 million bid from one of five bidders. “There was a crowd of 50 people at the auction, and it was intimate because it was raining inside,” Towell said. He said that high-quality real estate attracts a lot of competition. “There are still plenty of options for buyers, and there’s probably only a week left on the list before Christmas now for sellers to enter.” In Coburg North, a three-bedroom home at 14 Suvla Grove sold for $1,066,000–$136,000 above reserve. Four active bidders competed, and a young couple from the local area were the final buyers, said Alex Ellen, auction manager at Ray White Brunswick. Eileen said 80 people were in the crowd, despite the constant rain in Melbourne. loading “This proves that family homes in the area are still doing really well,” said Eileen. “I think there is also an urgent need from buyers because they have pre-approved for a loan and know that they will be reclassified once interest rates go up. “They may not be able to borrow as much as before, and that means they are going from buying in Coburg North to buying in [cheaper] Faulkner. They are entering while they can afford the suburbs they want to be in.” Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Brooks Koepka seems to have won recently, a mysterious streaming service in a galaxy far, far away… The Cricket World Cup takes place on Australian soil and so far he has traveled under an assumed name, sneaking through airports undetected. The start of the Twenty20 event, a group of qualifying matches, the World Cup but not the World Cup, was low key to say the least. We call it a soft opening. But Shays, with the big games starting this weekend, the real games – Australia vs. New Zealand in Sydney and Pakistan vs. India in Melbourne – there appears to be something at stake now as to cricket’s place in the Australian sports imagination.

Australia flags new corporate penalties for privacy breaches

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia on Saturday proposed tougher penalties for companies that fail to protect customers’ personal data after two major cybersecurity breaches left millions vulnerable to criminals. The penalties for serious breaches of the Privacy Act would increase from 2.2 million Australian dollars ($1.4 million) now to AU$50 million ($32 million) under amendments to be introduced to Parliament next week, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said. A company could also be fined the value of 30% of its revenues over a defined period if that amount exceeded AU$50 million ($32 million). Dreyfus said “big companies could face penalties up to hundreds of millions of dollars” under the new law. “It is a very, very substantial increase in the penalties,” Dreyfus told reporters. “It’s designed to make companies think. It’s designed to be a deterrent so that companies will protect the data of Australians,” he added. Parliament resumes on Tuesday for the first time since mid-September. Since Parliament last sat, unknown hackers stole personal data from 9.8 million customers of Optus, Australia’s second-largest wireless telecommunications carrier. The theft has left more than one-third of Australia’s population at heightened risk of identity theft and fraud. Unknown cybercriminals this week demanded ransom from Australia’s largest health insurer, Medibank, after claiming to have stolen 200 gigabytes of customers’ data including medical diagnoses and treatments. Medibank has 3.7 million customers. The company said the hackers had proved they hold the personal records of at least 100. The thieves have reportedly threatened to make public medical conditions of high-profile Medibank customers. Dreyfus said both breaches had shown “existing safeguards are inadequate.” As well as failing to protect personal information, the government is concerned that companies are unnecessarily holding too much customer data for too long in the hope of monetizing that information. “We need to make sure that when a data breach occurs the penalty is large enough, that it’s a really serious penalty on the company and can’t just be disregarded or ignored or just paid as a part of a cost of doing business,” Dreyfus said. Dreyfus hopes the proposed amendments will become law in the final four weeks that Parliament will sit this year. Any new penalties will not be retroactive and will not effect Optus or Medibank.
