Moving to a new city is exciting. It means a new environment, new people, and new opportunities. However, interstate relocation isn’t a piece of cake. It requires proper planning months in advance and professional help. You have to fulfil the terms of your current tenancy and make necessary arrangements with authorities in both cities. On top of this, you have to declutter and let go of things you won’t require in the new city. To get everything done, you can ask the assistance of relatives and friends. Also, you need to have the ultimate checklist for moving to a new city. Read more...

There are nearly 2,500 wineries in Australia, across 65 wine regions, with most being small family-owned operations.
But experts are predicting market forces will drive a number of wineries out of business over the next decade. Editor-in-chief of the Meininger's Wine Business International magazine, Felicity Carter, said a huge proportion of the wine industry internationally was not profitable. "There's a romance about wine and too many people get into it for the lifestyle and don't understand the economics of it," she said. "If you look at a country like France, children don't want to take over their parents' farms and vineyards because they see how hard their parents work and how hard it is to make money." "What's happening there is happening internationally, so we are going to see a contraction in the number of wineries in the next 10 years."

The decision by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) comes after it initially proposed the ban in July, responding to worldwide fears certain implants are linked to a rare cancer. There have been about 100 cases of the cancer, known as Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), reported in Australia, including four deaths. "Eight models of breast implants are to be suspended from supply in Australia for six months, while a number of safety and performance concerns are addressed," the TGA said in a statement. "This means that these devices will not be able to be imported, exported or supplied within Australia while the TGA works with industry sponsors to ensure the devices meet all the necessary requirements for patient safety. "Any stock of these un-implanted devices in the market will also be recalled during the suspension period."

Deloitte's partner for energy transition and renewables, John O'Brien, said most businesses need to start grappling with what to do about climate change, if they have not already. "If you want to have a business that's going to be running in 10 years, then you need to be thinking about how you're going to plan that strategy to be in business," Mr O'Brien told The Business. "If you're taking no [climate] action now, and the world is changing fast, companies that don't change with the evolving world are effectively not going to survive." Some of Australia's biggest businesses are already working to cut their carbon emissions. Software firm Atlassian announced this week it will become a net zero carbon emission business by 2050 and is calling on other Australian businesses to step up.

It’s an important decision.
The Collins fleet is based in Perth. Although the boats were built by ASC in Adelaide, their ongoing sustainment involves four-yearly mid-cycle dockings that take place at HMAS Stirling and the Henderson shipyard in Western Australia. ASC has a total workforce of around 2,200 with around 280 positions in WA to do routine and mid-cycle sustainment work. Major full-cycle dockings are required every eight to 10 years. They take two years to complete and can involve cutting open the submarine for a ground–up ‘nuts and bolts’ rebuild of hardware and systems. They are currently returned to the manufacturer, ASC at its Adelaide shipyard, where a highly skilled workforce reinvents each submarine. When moving to a different city, it is natural to feel anxious. Even if you have visited it, you don't know what to expect. What you can do is make the move as smooth as possible with the help of professional removalists and proper planning. Prepare a checklist of tasks you have to do and allocate deadlines. Ask your family members and friends to help. If you know someone in the new city, ask them to explain procedures & other processes. You can also ask them to tell you what to expect in certain situations. To know more, keep reading...

“We received submissions from retail workers, bus drivers, mothers and religious leaders, just to name a few, who wrote of the ever-growing importance of Christmas Eve as a special time for family and friends to come together and celebrate the season and the need to properly compensate those who were required to work,” Ms Grace said. “The Palaszczuk Governments strongly agrees with them.

The ruling means Nadesalingam Murugappan, known as Nades, Kokilapathmapriya Nadesalingam, known as Priya, and their two children can stay in Australia until the court case is finalised. Nades and Priya arrived in Australia separately by boat from Sri Lanka in 2012 and 2013, and their children Kopika and Tharnicaa were born in Australia. The family has fought and lost numerous court battles to remain in the country. They had been living in the central Queensland town of Biloela until they were taken from their home and placed in immigration detention in Melbourne in March 2018. They were flown to Christmas Island after a last-minute injunction stopped them from being deported late last month.
