Australia gets first woman PM

Australia appointed its first woman prime minister, Julia Gillard, who vowed on Thursday to end division over controversial mining tax, resurrect a carbon trade scheme and call elections within months.

prime minister Kevin Rudd made an emotional and ignominious exit, quitting just before the center-left Labor Party was to dump him in an internal ballot and less than three years after a stunning election victory in 2007.Gillard has long been one of the government's best performers in parliament with her ability to sell policies and deflect political attacks.Gillard, 48, immediately offered to end a bitter dispute over a controversial "super profits" mining tax, which is threatening $20 billion worth of investment and has unnerved voters, saying she would throw open the door to fresh negotiations."It's a genuine offer - the door of this government is open ... I'm asking the mining industry to open it's mind," she said.But Gillard stood firm on the introduction of a resource tax, stressing that miners should pay more tax. She said later in parliament miners had conceded they could pay more.Australia is the world's top coal exporter and among the highest pre-capita emitters of planet-warming carbon dioxide, with coal used to generate about 80 percent of electricity.Rudd became the shortest-serving Australian prime minister since 1972, with his leadership falling apart after a string of poor opinion polls."I have given my absolute all. I was elected by the Australian people as the prime minister ... to bring back a fair go for all Australians," said Rudd, choking back tears.Government lawmakers believe Gillard has a better chance of winning back voters because she is a warmer personality who can sell policies more effectively.

In my opinion, I think nowadays girl and boy were similar. and the thing that make me believe is a wonderful ability of Gillard. That right, It was a shock news for everyone around the world that Australia had a first girl prime minister.

Victorious Wilkie in no rush to offer support

Independent candidate Andrew Wilkie has at last claimed victory in the Tasmanian seat of Denison, but he will wait a few more days before declaring who he will support in a hung parliament.

Mr Wilkie on Saturday joined Julia Gillard in Melbourne for their first formal meeting, in which he presented the Prime Minister a list of about 20 issues he wants addressed by the new government.

The support of Mr Wilkie is vital for Ms Gillard, whose Labor Party has 72 seats in the new Parliament, four short of the number needed to govern.After returning to Hobart on Saturday evening, Mr Wilkie said Ms Gillard pressed him for answers about which party he was likely to support.They will meet again on Monday, when Mr Wilkie expects Ms Gillard to come back with firm commitments to the issues he raised. He has also indicated stronger whistleblower laws and better services for southern Tasmania are key issues for him.Victory in Denison makes Mr Wilkie a key independent MP who will hold the balance of power in the hung parliament along with Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter.But he has again distanced himself from the three other independents and urged them to decide soon which party they would support in a minority government.In my way, I think he can improve Australia into the right way because if you see in his opinion, that show about many that we should to develop and he will make something new for Australian.

Australian dollar closes slightly lower ahead of Ben Bernanke speech

Everyone known Australia useddollars.The dollar closed slightly lower as traders sat on the sidelines ahead of US grossdomestic product (GDP) data and a speech by US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke to global central bankers in the United States .

At 5pm (AEST), the local unit was trading at $US0.8869/71, slightly down from yesterday's close of $US0.8875/79.Since 7am (AEST), the local currency traded between $US0.8846 and $US0.8878.CMC markets foreign exchange dealer Tim Waterer said the dollar has made up some ground against the US dollar after opening lower in the local day session."In terms of the Aussie against the US today, it's creeping higher, essentially it hasn't deviated to far from that 88.50 (US cents) level, much of the day," he said.In recent weeks there has been a string of weak economic data from the US, raising fears the American economy may be falling into a double dip recession. This could spark action from the US central bank to put more stimulus into the economy."Whatever comes out in terms of that GDP number, you could expect there's going to be some erratic trading in the US dollar."If the market were to see a print of say two per cent GDP (growth), which would be above market expectations, we could see some rallying in the US dollar."The Aussie could benefit as a result of that as well, from a global growth viewpoint.Mr Waterer said traders would be keenly noting Dr Bernanke's tone later this evening, whether he was going to be more dovish than he had been previously about whether monetary policy would be eased further.

However, It was a good new that I have heard in nowadays about business Australia news ,so we should congratulation for australian that you have a good quanlity money.

Banks blocking homeowners renovation funds

BANKS are denying funds to homeowners looking to upgrade and move into a bigger home.The hardline stance is curtailing the property market by delaying home purchases and forcing homeowners to sell their homes before buying a new one.

Industry experts said lenders are increasingly blocking homeowners from bridging finance - intermediate loans that finances the purchase of a new property while existing property is soldPreviously a common strategy for people selling one home and buying another, banks now claim bridging finance can produce bad debt while other lenders do not even offer the product.

"These loans are now very hard to get, basically because it is just not worth it for the banks," a mortgage industry expert said."Effectively it becomes like a second mortgage on the first property and banks just don't like increasing the amount of money they lend because they have no security to attach that extra money to."Once upon a time when banks weren't getting a good margin, they would have to lend as much as they could, now they are getting a much better margin, they are less inclined to approve riskier loans."The static property market is another reason why banks are loath to approve bridging loans. Several lenders are believed to have been caught out approving such loans to homeowners, only for the eventual sale price of the old home to fall well short of what was agreed to."To put it simply, the economics are against bridging loans, and banks don't want to be increasing their [bad debt] provisions," the expert said.

To sum up, they would not provide any figures that would support the claims. Moreover, they can make opportunity to themselve. And nowadays, there are many people interest in this so it would be a popular issue we talking.

Aussie bees cleared of US colony collapse?

Claims that Australia exported a virus that may have caused US bee colonies to collapse have been questioned with the release of new scientific findings.

Dr Jay Evans and Dr Yanping Chen of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) question the role of the bee virus in the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)."[The virus] was present in US bees collected several years prior to CCD, and prior to the recent importation into the US of honey bees from Australia," the researchers write in the American Bee Journal.The US$17 billion US honey bee industry has been thrown into disarray since a mysterious agent caused hives to collapse.During the 2006-2007 northern hemisphere winter, a quarter of beekeepers lost more than half of their hives, jeopardising the livelihood of farmers and orchardists who need bees for pollination.Australian bee expert Dr Doug Somerville of New South Wales Department of Primary Industriessays "Australian packages only arrived on the US shore in 2005 so the linkage with Australia is just garbage."

In my opinion, this virus was a new one that we never seen before. However, bees are an amazing animals that we had in Australia. That a good time of recover in Australia.

Sharks use snot to hunt prey

Sharks use a gel-like substance on their heads to pick up electrical signals from the water, possibly to follow a bloody trail

There are several reports of swimmers towing wounded mates to shore, with the shark still going after the injured person instead of the rescuer, says Fields.However, the findings negate an earlier study, published in the journal Nature, which says shark gel serves as a semiconductor, generating electricity in response to temperature changes.

First, find your snot

For his own work, Fields and colleagues extracted the gel from skate pores."So the gel is nothing but a conductor that allows electrical signals to move from the membrane to the brain,"

Hunting with snot

Imagine that a shark is swimming between two points of a 1.5 volt battery, with one battery end dipped into Long Island Sound and the other located in the waters off of Jacksonville, Florida

As a result, Australia is the country that have many amazing animal that we have never seen before. By the way, it like a symbol of this country show that they have a perfect environment.

To Test New Tech, Researchers Churn an 800-Pound Butter Sculpture into Biodiesel

In a patriotic dairy-to-diesel demonstration project proving the breadth of fatty materials that can be converted into useable fuels, a Philadelphia biodiesel producer and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have turned a 362 kilogram butter sculpture of Ben Franklin and the Liberty Bell into 280 litres of biodiesel.

Dr. Michael J. Haas at the Department of Agriculture suggested they turn it into fuel, and biofuel maker BlackGold was brought aboard to handle the chemistry. Philly-based BlackGold has a process for turning a range of low-value fats and greases into biofuels – they recently put their technology into a first-of-its-kind plant in San Francisco that will turn pan scrapings and dirty restaurant greases into fuels – by shaving the glycerin from the fat molecules and replacing them with methanol molecules, creating diesel.While 180 litres of fuel from 362 kilograms of once-edible (and somewhat costly) food isn’t necessarily a great bang for buck, the demonstration turned out 183 more litres of fuel than would’ve been produced if the butter had been trashed. The Ag. Department and BlackGold aren’t suggesting the US start turning its vast butter resources into diesel, but simply that we turn more of our waste products into fuel (some of the agricultural waste that comes out of dairy farms might be a good place to start in this case).

In my opinion, the should to use biodiesel, it can help you and everyone in the wold. Moreover, you know about global warming right? yeahhhh that it .

A New Superbacteria

Bacterias are the most common disease everyone in the world have. Doctor bacterias look like the animal. They need foods. They need place, and they need a perfect life. So, if you understand them. What they want, it take easy to live with them.

NDM-1 (or New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase) is a gene mutation that arms many common and harmful bacteria like E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae with a resistance that can even withstand carbapenems, the antibiotics used as a last resort when more common drugs have no effect. What’s worse, the gene has been found on plasmids — particularly promiscuous bits of mobile DNA that can move easily between strains of bacteria. In many ways, this is it,” Walsh told the Guardian. “This is potentially the end. There are no antibiotics in the pipeline that have activity against NDM 1-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

In my opinion, NDM-1 are the new bacteria we just known ,but in standard medical practice antibiotics are the way we treat bacterial infections and even if an experimental treatment is found to be effective it will take a good deal of time to get it approved for widespread use.

Sofa so good for Jones portrait

The 24-year-old artist has created. His name is Alesandro Ljubicic. king Alan Jones has a fearsome reputation but he was content to sit and be told what to do by Alesandro Ljubicic.

Did You Know Alan Jones, an unexpectedly benign portrait of the broadcaster, which is one of 37 finalists in the Moran National Portrait Prize. With $150,000 awarded to the winner, it is the world's most valuable portrait award. Ben Quilty took the prize last year with his portrait of rocker Jimmy Barnes. Quilty is a finalist again with Smashed (Diptych), as are Adam James for his reptilian portrait of Rupert Murdoch (pictured) and former Archibald Prize winner Adam Cullen with Self-portrait (Staring Death in the Face. When he saw it, Jones said: ''Holy mackerel! I don't know how on earth he has put this together.'' He said it was ''quite a honour'' to have his portrait make the final cut. ''It has nothing to do with the subject. It's all to do with the artist.''

However, he is young and he can improve his skill to do next project. Moreover, he can apply his project to do another thing. I hope he can help and make one's name to his country.

ROAD SAFETY

Nowadays, we can see many people die in the road. So, we should have illegal drugs for safe driver. Moreover, we should know about illegal in nowadays.

South Australia Police conduct random roadside saliva testing to detect the presence of three illegal drugs including:

• THC – the active component in cannabis
• also known as speed, ice or crystal meth
• 3,4-(MDMA) – also known as ecstasy.

These types of drugs have been shown to have the potential to increase the risk of road crashes.Drug driving is one of a number of contributors to road deaths in South Australia. On average, between 2004 and 2008, 25% of drivers or riders killed on South Australian roads tested positive to THC, Methylamphetamine, MDMA, or a combination of these

In my opinion, it can increase the risk of road and warning people to becareful when they drive. Anyway, this is a good illegal for your country
