Hi there, Do you live in the city and not happy with the high cost of living? Well, then you should move to any nearby suburbs where the cost of living is low. But this is not the only reason why people move to the suburbs from the city. I have recently read an article on this subject that explains the main reasons why people move to the suburbs from the city. After reading the article, I understand the factors that force people to move to the suburbs, and the cost of living is one of them. If you want to know the reasons in detail, then you should read the article that I am sharing here.  https://www.betterremovalistsgoldcoast.com.au/reasons-why-people-move-to-the-suburbs-from-the-city/

Hundreds of thousands of jobs could be created in Australia by hurrying the shift to zero greenhouse gas emissions, a study backed by business and investment leaders has found. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates 835,000 jobs have been lost since the coronavirus pandemic shutdown began in March.

Hello hello. We awaken this beautiful Wednesday to news that Victoria is still a growing point of concern in the Australian coronavirus recovery. Let's dig in. 1. There's a bit of growing tension about the whole Melbourne COVID-19 situation. As 20 new cases are announced in Victoria, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has reiterated her advice for people to "rethink any travel to Melbourne whatsoever". "We're recommending people just don't travel to Melbourne at this point in time until the government feels down there they have controlled the community spread," the Premier told ABC television this morning.

 Food of the gods: a typical Australian cheese platter. Photograph: nazar_ab/Getty Images When I first bought chicken in Australia, I was horrified to see how much blood oozed out of the packaging and congealed on my frying pan. I forgot that I was used to buying halal chicken in Malaysia, where the blood was drained from the carcass. I was so put off by my new Australian meat produce that for three months I shopped at a kosher butcher since it employs similar blood-draining techniques. The day I could buy and cook meat from a standard Australian market was when I knew my tastebuds had evolved.

'Virtually no demand' for coins in Covid-19 era as Australia's shift from cash to digital hastens As a result of the trend, the Royal Australian Mint and the Reserve Bank are considering producing less physical money The Royal Australian Mint has seen “virtually no demand” for coins in 2020 as physical retail closed down, although the Reserve Bank of Australia – responsible for supplying banknotes – was forced to produce about 2.5bn extra banknotes to respond to a surge in Australians withdrawing their savings as early pandemic fear set in, behaviour which emptied consumer banks of their cash stores.

Australia has recorded its first Covid-19 death in one month, with Victoria’s chief health officer, Dr Brett Sutton, announcing that a man in his 80s died overnight, bringing the country’s total death toll to 103. It came as Victoria grappled with a spike in cases in the past week, reporting double-digit rises in new cases every day for more than one week. Twenty new cases of the virus were announced by Sutton on Wednesday. The new cases include three staff members who tested positive at Hampstead dental clinic in Maidstone, 8km north-west from Melbourne city. There are now 241 cases that have been identified since the epidemic began in Victoria that indicate community transmission, an increase of eight since yesterday.

Rozhan and Jwan sit on the couch at their home in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, looking through photographs of their former life in Iraq. Their 12-year old son Adrian doesn’t have many memories of his birthplace and the life his parents described as idyllic until four years ago. As a school teacher, Jwan was under pressure from members of the local community to convert to Islam. When she refused, the insistence turned violent.

Because we are rich in coal and gas, Australia has been plagued with two decades of wars over climate policy. The wars have claimed three prime ministers: Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Malcolm Turnbull. They have also, in the words of journalist Alan Kohler, ruined Australia’s ability to conduct any kind of sensible discussion about economic policy and to achieve consensus on anything. The response to the pandemic shows that consensus and effective, evidence-based policy are not impossible for Australia’s politicians. Faced with a crisis of life and death, they can put aside ideology and stare down vested interests.

This month, federal authorities finally announced an upcoming ban on mercury-containing pesticide in Australia. We are one of the last countries in the world to do so, despite overwhelming evidence over more than 60 years that mercury use as fungicide in agriculture is dangerous. Mercury is a toxic element that damages human health and the environment, even in low concentrations. In humans, mercury exposure is associated with problems such as kidney damage, neurological impairment and delayed cognitive development in children.

According to the Australian Government website, the federal government is recommending that e-cigarettes containing vaporiser nicotine (nicotine in solution or in salt or base form) and nicotine-containing refills be banned from entering our country.

Hi All, I have been brushing my teeth everyday in the morning, but I still got cavities. Obviously, I was eating a lot of candies and chocolates as I have a sweet tooth. However, I never imagined that a simple tooth ache could lead to cardiovascular issues. So when I met my dentist, he told me that I must visit a specialist with a full body check-up report. I prodded him and he told me that oral health is related to the health of the body as the bacteria can sometimes affect the brain and the heart. I am sure most people don’t know about this, so here is an article to help you understand this concept.   https://www.dentisthopeisland.com.au/how-mouth-health-can-affect-whole-body-health/

Well that’s it. Australia’s much-heralded three decades of growth are over. What have we got to show for it? How has Australia changed since a recession last racked our economy back in 1991-92?

Good morning, team. Welcome to day two of a four day week. My how times flies. 1. Pat yourselves on the back. There were just two new cases of coronavirus recorded across Australia on Tuesday, both in returned travellers in hotel quarantine in Sydney. That means no community transmission for the first time since we started tracking it. 2. Just a handful of Australia's 50 largest super funds have a good track record on issues like climate change. As major shareholders, our super funds have a strong hand in corporate governance both locally and internationally, and the The Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR) has compiled fund voting records on issues like climate change, workers rights, and gender equality. You can see who generally performs best on that metric – and who isn't up to scratch. Read more:  https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/10-things-know-morning-australia-232526049.html

Australia is to be one of the first markets for the hydrogen-powered Nikola Badger ute, with reservations to open on June 29, the company tweeted on Tuesday. The news about the hotly anticipated electric utility truck (known as a ute in Australia and pickup in the US) followed closely on the heels of the company’s listing on the Nasdaq after a reverse merger with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp, and a surge in its market value to surpass that of legacy car makers Ford and FCA.

After 10 weeks in lockdown, coronavirus restrictions have lifted in New Zealand, giving the green light for the country's live entertainment industry to come out of hibernation. Key points: New Zealand's biggest venue operator will open with classical and contemporary music, then dance, ballet and finally opera and theatre Operators in New Zealand say seated venues have an automatic advantage over standing-room clubs because of the ease of contact tracing The rapid re-opening has given hope to Australia's arts and entertainment industry, with venue bookers making plans to reopen in September New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the move on Monday, meaning life can return to some semblance of normality across the ditch, with only contact tracing and border controls remaining. It means concerts and live entertainment can start up again — although things will be a little different. Read more:  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-10/new-zealand-arts-mu

Calls to “defund the police” in the wake of the death of George Floyd are leading to immediate proposals to either dismantle police departments or cut their funding in US cities like Minneapolis, New York and Los Angeles. There has been similar anger over Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia, but the idea of defunding the police doesn’t translate so easily to this country.

An Australian boy who was missing for two nights on a mountainside in near-freezing conditions has been found safe and well, police say. William Callaghan, a 14-year-old with non-verbal autism, became lost during a family walk at Mount Disappointment, in Victoria, on Monday. His family had raised concerns that his inability to verbally communicate may hinder search efforts. He was found on Wednesday near the peak of the mountain.

Michael Fullilove is the executive director of the Lowy Institute in Sydney. He is the author of “Rendezvous with Destiny: How Franklin D. Roosevelt and Five Extraordinary Men Took America into the War and into the World.” Over the past three-quarters of a century, Australians and Americans have worked together as close allies, from the U.N. Security Council chamber to the conference rooms of Asia to the mountains of Afghanistan. They have cooperated on diplomatic problems, shared intelligence and, from time to time, fought and died together on distant battlefields.

Australia, the world’s most China-dependent economy, that the tariff and bans were punishment for Canberra’s political support for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus. Since the moves last month, China has also thrown two more trade-related sanctions at Australia. Last weekend, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a warning against travel to Australia due to a significant increase in racist attacks on “Chinese and Asian people”, and on Tuesday, the Ministry of Education issued a warning to its students looking to continue their studies at Australian universities when spring semester starts in July.

Trade and Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham has labelled China's warning against its citizens visiting Australia "unhelpful", as Chinese state media said the warning was issued in response to Australia's "anti-China" policies. Key points: There have been a number of high-profile racist incidents in Australia targeting Asians during the coronavirus pandemic Nevertheless, analysts say that China's travel warning is the latest attempt to pressure Australia into cooperation Incidents of xenophobia and harassment of foreigners have also been recorded in China during COVID-19 Senator Birmingham told RN this morning that he accepted Asian-Australians had faced incidents of racism since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but rejected the idea that Australia was unsafe for foreign tourists.

Australia might be in its first recession in almost three decades, but our economy is faring better than many advanced economies driven into decline as they attempted to fight a surge in coronavirus infections. Key points: Australia is about to suffer its first recession in three decades but the economic damage domestically is not as bad as overseas Economists say policy responses from state and federal governments could help in a faster economic recovery The big unknowns are what happens after JobKeeper ends and if there is a second wave of infections On Wednesday, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg conceded Australia will enter into a technical recession when the June quarter GDP data is released, breaking its record of 28 years without one. But economists say Australia's ability to limit the spread of COVID-19, and the Federal Government's massive economic stimulus, will mean the nation will likely emerge from the crisis in better shape than most.

Australian distillers that made a rapid pivot into hand sanitiser manufacturing at the height of the Covid-19 crisis have been left with hundreds of thousands of litres of unsold product, as cheap and less effective imports flood the market.

This World Environment Day, it is useful to reflect on Australia’s climate-induced bushfire disaster during the summer of 2019-20. A conservative estimate is that 1.25 billion animals and 100 billion insects died. Climate change contributed to the inferno through drought, extreme temperatures, dry lightning strikes and unique fire weather systems. By the end of January 2020, more than 10 million hectares had been burnt. However, Australia’s biodiversity was in a precarious state even before the fires. The 2020-1 IUCN Red List ranks Australia sixth in the world for the highest number of threatened species of reptiles; fish; molluscs; other invertebrates; plants; fungi; and protists (a kind of a single-celled organism). It ranks after Madagascar; Ecuador; Mexico; the United States; and Malaysia.

Just 38 of a predicted 36,000 food boxes have been delivered under a $9.3m government initiative designed to deliver emergency food supplies to older Australians isolating throughout Covid-19. The emergency food supplies program was announced at the beginning of April after the national cabinet had recommended self-isolation to those over 70 and amid supply shortages at supermarkets. At the same time, a $50m injection to fund 3.4m meals on wheels portions to 41,000 older Australians over six weeks was also announced.

 Google Australia has rejected calls for the search engine giant and Facebook to pay Australian media companies $600m a year for using their news content, saying the figure is based on “unfounded assertions”.

James Faulkner’s career is in limbo after the Australian cricketer suffered another setback last week. The 30-year-old was not offered a new contract by Tasmania for the upcoming season, meaning if he wants to keep pressing his claims for a return to the international arena he needs to hope another state comes calling. Faulkner developed into a genuine matchwinner in the coloured clothes for Australia but struggles with injuries and poor form mean his time with the Tigers has come to a sad end. The snub from his home state, who the all-rounder debuted for as a teenager, reflects a steep fall for someone who was Man of the Match in the World Cup final when Australia won the trophy on home soil in 2015, taking three wickets and stifling New Zealand with his variety of left-arm seamers and cutters.
