Yet another tacit Liberal party murder confession. "IndyWatch Feed National"
The Liberal Party has made a number of tacit murder confessions in regard to Robodebt and the illegal importation of COVID-19, but the SA Division of the Liberals appears to be striving to win a glod Logie award for such confessions.
Short link to this posting: https://wp.me/p1n8TZ-38N
In a video of 35 seconds duration, the SA Liberal Party hammers the Malinauskas Government for making ambulance ramping twice as dangerous, and potentially twice as deadly as it was under Premier Steven Marshall.
I may be wrong, but I strongly suspect that this advertisment is an admission that the Liberal Party violated the Genocide provisions in Section 268.5 (2) of the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act (1995) and the Criminal Neglect provision in Section 14(1) of the SA criminal code:
This advertisement is 35 seconds of ultra-compelling audio-visual evidence of the fact that in Australia, politicians see themselves as being above the law when they make fatal decisions.
HOW WIERD This advert is demanding that Peter Malinauskas fix a deadly problem that the Liberal Party did not fix in 4 years of government.
Robo-debt, Welfare-Gate, COVID-GATE and Vaccine-Gate are other examples of this nasty habit of making unlawful decisions that kill people.
PLEASE SHARE MY WEB POSTING LINK WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THEY CAN SEE THIS VIDEO BEFORE THE LIBERAL PARTY WAKES UP TO THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF THIS TACIT MURDER CONFESSION AND CANCEL IT.

Isnt it wonderful how the men in opposing political parties can unite in hate and belligerence? "IndyWatch Feed Vic"
It really is quite sweet to see,- in America, the Democrats and Republicans being friendly on the same page. Same for Australia, where the Labor and Liberals are being lovely to each other.
So good to see. Its a bit of a pity that they fight each other so strongly about policies on health, education, welfare, environment all those things that are crucial for the common good.
But now, and this really is very much a blokey thing, the opposing political parties are agreed hating China, and on the need to spend many, many billions of the taxpayers money on weapons, especially nuclear. (Australias nuclear submarines wont have weapons, I hear your cry) Australias subs will be controlled by USA, secretly, like the Pine Gap facility Australians wont even know whats on them.
Well, the blokes are good at business, too, and so are the bought females that are celebrated these days (think of Victoria Nuland, Jennifer Granholm, Penny Wong ). And, they are right. You couldnt get a more reliable customer for your weapons business than the tax-payers, who have to just pay up, bindly. with no say in these $multibillion nuclear decisions made on their behslf.

Statue of netball legend Sharelle McMahon unveiled in Melbourne "IndyWatch Feed Vic"
On March 7th of this year, female athleticism took the stage with the arrival of a bronze statue at John Cain Arena honoring famed netball player Sharelle McMahon.
Unveiled by Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Steve Dimopoulos, the tribute is the creation of Australian-based, internationally renowned sculptors Gillie and Marc co-founders of Statues for Equality, the global project to bring more diversity to public statues and was funded in part by the Andrews Labor Governments $250,000 Celebrating Female Sporting Icons initiative.
Stay up to date with whats happening in and around the region here.
Victorians, like the sports we play, are diverse and its important that the athletes we choose to honour reflect that diversity, said Dimopoulos. Recognising our female sporting heroes will help level the playing field and inspire the next generation of elite sporting talent.
A celebrated athlete and Victoria native, McMahon has enjoyed an illustrious 25-year netball career as both a player and a coach.
After playing for the Melbourne Phoenix and later the Melbourne Vixens, she joined the national netball team, the Australian Diamonds, at the age of 21, and began an international netball career spanning 14 years and 118 matches. Over this time, she and her team earned two gold and two silver medals across four Commonwealth Games, and two Netball World Cup victories. She captained twelve times and scored the winning goal at the 1999 World Cup.
In 2010, she was the first athlete from a team sport to serve as a flagbearer for the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, and in 2016 she received recognition for her many accomplishments through induction as an athlete member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
Though she has since retired as an athlete, McMahon continues her work in sport as Cricket Victorias Head of Female Cricket, a position shes held since 2021.
Its a fitting recognition on International Womens Day for Sharelle McMahon, said Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins, whose incredible achievements, both on and off the netball court, have left an indelible mark on Victorias sporting history and been an inspiration for women and girls everywhere.

Witchcraft and the Cruelty of Anti-Semitism "IndyWatch Feed National"
(L) Chancellor von Bismarck (C) Witch burning, Photo:

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB
I recently found a 1956 book entitled The Magic Background of Modern Anti-Semitism: An Analysis of the German-Jewish Relationship. It was written by Adolf Leschnitzer from lectures he gave at Free University of Berlin from 1952 to 1954. He served in WWI as a German soldier and then was a history teacher in high schools until he emigrated, to escape persecution, in 1939 first to Netherlands then to England.
The theme of the book Magic Background goes like this. For two centuries the 1200s and 1300s there was violent persecution of Jews in Germany (this book never talks about Jews elsewhere). Oddly, the cruelty lightened up during the 1500s and 1600s, the reason being that a focus on witchcraft replaced it. Then it came back again in 1800s and 1900s.
In the preface, Adolf Leschnitzer says In an...

Electricity charges are set for a steep rise "IndyWatch Feed National"
Contributed by Jim Hayes
Australians are about to pay a whole lot more for using electricity. All parties promised to put a stop to all these price rises during the last federal election campaign. The promise has been betrayed.
The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) who is supposed to keep a lid on he rises has just lifted what can be charged by electricity companies, and they have been allowed to set tiers to charge different plans with different prices in some areas. The argument given is that this will generate competition.
Expected price rises are from around 20 percent to more than 30 percent. This will add considerable financial stress to many already pressed households.
The problem with the existing price regulation system is that it relies on the belief that the market is the way to generate the best outcome. If this outcome is to deliver lower prices, it has been a total failure.
To be fair, it must be acknowledged that the Albanese government did set a price cap in October last year. This had a small and temporary positive effect. There was a little fall in prices. Unfortunately. this might be coming to an end. A bigger and longer-term solution is needed.
Images by LAVO: Ending coal power plants and shifting to renewable alternatives is part of the answer
If lower energy cost is still the objective, there must be a different approach. It is not necessary to peg to international prices, as is the case at the moment. Instead of generous subsidies to energy companies, there should be sufficient investment into cheaper and cleaner energy. Australia remains reliant on aging coal generation plants that are no longer working efficiently, and therefore raising costs. T...

Der Ukraine-Liveticker heute hat ein paar bemerkenswerte ... "IndyWatch Feed National"
Der Ukraine-Liveticker heute hat ein paar bemerkenswerte Meldungen im Kleingedruckten. Liest das eigentlich berhaupt jemand, diese Liveticker? Ich berspringe die immer, aber diesmal wies ein Leser auf diese Meldung hier hin:
In Bulgarien haben Getreideproduzenten einen Importstopp fr ukrainischen Weizen gefordert. Die um gut 30 Prozent billigere, zollfreie Einfuhr aus der Ukraine mache die heimische Weizenproduktion nicht mehr konkurrenzfhig [] hnliche Probleme gebe es auch infolge des Imports von preisgnstigeren Sonnenblumenkernen aus der Ukraine.Jetzt macht der Putin auch noch unsere Bauern kaputt!!1!
Aber die Meldungen drumherum haben auch ein paar Klopper. Den hier z.B. finde ich super:
Die Grnen fordern raschere Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine.Man vergleiche das mal mit den Wahlkampfplakaten vor dem Krieg. Aber es stellt sich auch noch eine andere Frage. Von wem fordern sie das konkret? Ich dachte die sind in der Regierung?
Oder wie wre es mit dem hier:
Russland hat im vergangenen Jahr dank hoher lpreise einen Handelsberschuss von 332,4 Milliarden US-Dollar (gut 311 Milliarden Euro) erzielt. Das Exportvolumen sei um 19,9 Prozent auf 591,5 Milliarden Dollar gestiegen, der Import im gleichen Zeitraum um 11,7 Prozent auf 259,1 Milliarden Dollar geschrumpft, teilte die Zollbehrde mit. Gegenber 2021 ist der Handelsberschuss Russlands damit um 68 Prozent gewachsen.Die Sanktionen wirken!! Nur nicht in die Richtung, in die sie gedacht waren. Der lpreis wre ohne die Sanktionen nie so hoch gegangen.
Auf der anderen Seite muss man natrlich immer vorsichtig mit solchen Angaben sein, denn sie kommen von der Landesregierung. Die hat ein Interesse daran, dass die Zahlen so aussehen, wie sie aussehen. Da knnte es ein paar Flle von kreativer Buchfhrung auf dem Weg gegeben haben, wie bei uns mit der Arbeitslosenstatistik z.B.
Auerdem gab es noch die Meldung, dass die Russen die CIA-Story nicht glauben, dass der Nord-Stream-Angriff von einem verwirrten Einzeltter aus der Ukraine gekommen sei, denn die Ukraine habe ja dadurch nichts zu gewinnen gehabt.
Aber die Topp-Meldung in der Liste ist ganz am Ende:
vergangenes Jahr stieg die Ukraine durch die Militrhilfen aus den USA und Europa jedoch zum drittgrten Rstungsimporteur auf.Wer importiert denn gerade bitte noch mehr Waffen als die Ukraine?!? Dafr muss man zur Prim...

Are You Too Late To Bitcoin? "IndyWatch Feed National"
What is the top for an immutable money that becomes the standard for humanity? Why its time to get off zero.
This is an opinion editorial by Luke Broyles, a Bitcoin content creator.
How much bitcoin does it take to get rich and fund your lifestyle? How little bitcoin does it take to protect yourself against inevitable inflation, bank runs and fiat demise? Are you too late to Bitcoin? What would a 1% allocation do?
These are questions that newbies and veterans of Bitcoin alike ask themselves and each other and, oftentimes, there isnt a clear answer.
Lets provide a solid framework to answer that question.
There Is No Top For An Immutable Money Standard
January 2009 was BTC's first price prediction. Hal Finney predicted that bitcoin could become the global-dominant payment system, or $10 million per coin (Finneys calculation would be closer to $40 million today). But bitcoin would not surpass $1.00 until April 2011... Over two full years later.
What Finney understood is that upon the invention of perfect money all global wealth would inevitably consolidate into it. Henry Ford, Nikola Tesla and others also foresaw this.
A closed (monetary) system inevitably absorbs all open (productivity) systems. Money is the technology that prices everything else within its own ledger. There is no "top" price prediction for an immutable monetary standard of the human race, the standard.
Its About Purchasing Power, Not Price
So, a better way to think of bitcoin's value is not in price, but in purchasing power. Overlaying a share of monetary stock with a given amount of productivity (or economic value) is a better way to predict the money's value. Its worth noting that in a finite ledger, wealth inequality as we know it today does the reverse as we expect today (a topic for another...

How to Prepare Your Staff for an Office Fit Out "IndyWatch Feed National"
Are you planning an office refit? If so, youre probably excited about the changes it will bring for your staff and for the company as a whole. But before the work begins, its vital that you take the time to prepare your staff for the transition.
Its important to understand that an office fit-out is a process thats going to affect a significant number of people in different ways. In order to ensure a successful transition, its important to get as many people on the same page as possible.
Having a clear plan in place can help ensure that everyone is on board and ready for what lies ahead.
Here are some tips to help you prepare your staff and make sure everything goes smoothly during an office fit-out.
- Explain the Purpose of an Office Fit Out
Informing staff about any changes, renovations, or installation of furniture before they happen helps reduce disruption, leads to better morale from the staff, and allows all necessary resources to be efficiently allocated ahead of time.Additionally, it might also help to explain to your staff why youre having an office fit out in the first place. Is the company downsizing? Is the old layout outdated or impractical? Explaining the purpose of the fit-out might help your staff understand the decision and alleviate any concerns associated with the project.
- Outline Any Safety Protocols and Procedures that Must
be Followed
As the employer, you will need to outline safety protocols and procedures for all staff members that may be affected during or after the fit out. These should include sufficient training requirements along with policies concerning wearing protective clothing and equipment such as hard hats and boots. Staff also need to know where obstacles may be present as well as any site-specific risks that must be assessed and monitored throughout the process.Additionally, ensure staff are familiar with all fire prevention measures so they can safely evacuate should an emergency arise. Following these steps will ensure both staff safety and adherence to directives which may help minimise liabilities during the entire office fit out process.
- Detail Any New Policies or Processes That May Need to
be Implemented
The team should also receive notices about any challenges that might arise during construction. This might include notices about construction noise or restricted access to certain areas of the building. Communication needs to remain open throughout this time so that staff can voice their concerns and be informed of progress updates.Additionally, a detailed schedule should be put in place to...

Canberra: Join us - rally, say No to War protect truthtellers 8am 20th March ACT Courts "IndyWatch Feed National"
Join us - rally, say No to War protect
truthtellers 8am Monday 20th March at the ACT Courts. On the 20th
anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq, and as the Coalition
of the Willing which was responsible for the illegal invasion of
Iraq on 20 March 2003 has regrouped as AUKUS, we should remember
the legacy of that disastrous war and other destructive wars.
(Reposted from Canberra Conversations.)
Two people in particular are suffering persecution today because they dared to expose war crimes. Julian Assange released material including a video of the Baghdad airstrike which killed two Reuters journalists and other civilians, and ADF Major David McBride gave the ABC information about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. David will be in court on the day to learn the date of commencement of his trial after 4 years!
We have a great line up of speakers
Dr Monique Ryan MP, Major David McBride, Senator David Shoebridge, Lawyer and survivor of a political prosecution, Bernard Collaery, Dr Sue Wareham, President of MAPW, GetUp CEO. Larissa Baldwin-Roberts and CBA whistleblower, Jeff Morris. Co Convenor of AAPP, Craig Andrews will MC the rally.
The wars on Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of people, as well as injuring or displacing millions more. The wars caused widespread environmental destruction.
Join us to call on the Australian government to:
bring Assange home
drop the charges against McBride, and
SAY NO TO WAR ON CHINA.
Please come along to support David McBride and Julian Assange and to express horror that the countries which were responsible for so much heartbreak in Iraq and Afghanistan are bent on engaging in another war.
This rally is a joint event between the Alliance Against Political Prosecutions, the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network and the Medical Association for the Prevention of War.

Australian Beaches Cleaned Significantly Through Waste Control Strategies "IndyWatch Feed National"
People oftentimes visit Australia not just to get a taste of the city, but to enjoy the beaches as well. In fact, thousands of visitors flock to the waters and watch as surfers ride the waves while others simply sunbathe.
However, with tourism also comes waste. People dont oftentimes think about the trash they leave behind. Theyre simply there to enjoy, without a care in the world. As a result, some parts of the beaches have been littered with so much plastic.
A recent scientific survey was conducted and when this was completed, researchers found that plastic on Australian beaches has fallen by 29 percent since they did the previous survey in 2013. They were impressed at what they found.
The authors of the study give credit to the well-executed and locally focused waste control strategies. They say that this is what Australians can achieve if they just put their heads together, and this may be something that the rest of the world could follow.
The efforts had been organized by the Australian national science agency. And for this y...

Pentagon Drones Gather Data for Kievs Future Strikes on Russia Ambassador to US
Anatoly Antonov quoted US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby as saying that US UAVs make these kinds of overflights on a daily basis
AP Photo/Michael Sohn
WASHINGTON, March 15. /TASS/. US drones are collecting reconnaissance data to be used by the Kiev forces for their future strikes on the Russian territory and Russian troops, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov has said.
"The unacceptable actions of the United States military in the close proximity to our borders are cause for concern. We are well aware of the missions such reconnaissance and strike drones are used for," the ambassador was quoted as saying in a communique, issued in connection with Tuesdays US MQ-9 Reaper drones crash in the Black Sea.
The Russian diplomat quoted US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby as saying that US UAVs make these kinds of overflights on a daily basis.
"What do they do thousands of miles away from the United States? The answer is obvious - they gather intelligence which is later used by the Kiev regime to attack our armed forces and territory," Antonov said.
"We proceed from the fact that the United States will refrain from further speculations in the media landscape and stop making sorties near the Russian borders," he added.

Establishment of the US Department of Defence All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office "IndyWatch Feed National"
Media release
On 20 July 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense published a media release titled "DoD Announces the Establishment of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office." The text of the release reads:
 |
| https://media.defense.gov/2021/Mar/03/2002592680/-1/-1/0/210212-A-BI463-0003.JPG |
"On July 15, 2022, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence [DNI], amended her original direction to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security by renaming and expanding the scope of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group [AOIMSG] to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office [AARO], due to the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2022, which included a provision to establish an office, in coordination with DNI, with responsibilities that were broader than those originally assigned to the AOIMSG.
Today, USD (I&S) Hon Ronald S. Moultrie informed the department of the establishment of AARO within the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and named Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick, most recently the Chief Scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center, as the Director of AARO.
The mission of the AARO will be to synchronize efforts across the Department of Defense, and with other US federal departments and agencies, to detect, identify and attribute objects of interest in, on or near military installations, operating areas, training areas, special use airspace and other areas of interest, and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security.

Putin Lambasts Version on Pipeline Blast by Ukrainian Activists
The explosion of such kind, with such power and at such depth, could only be made by specialists, supported by the whole might of a state having certain technologies, Russian President noted
ULAN-UDE, March 14. /TASS/. Statements that the terrorist act at Nord Stream pipelines was committed by certain Ukrainian activists not affiliated with official Kiev are downright nonsense, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview on Tuesday.
"I am confident this is utter nonsense," the President noted in a comment on publications offering such version.
"The explosion of such kind, with such power and at such depth, could only be made by specialists, supported by the whole might of a state having certain technologies, Putin noted. "Certainly," the Russian leader said, answering the question whether it can be assumed that exactly the Western countries committed the blast.
"One should always look for those having the interest. Who was interested? Theoretically the United States is certainly interested - to halt supplies of Russian energy resources to the European market and deliver volumes of its natural gas, particularly liquefied, even if it is much more expensive - by 25-30% - than Russian one," Putin said.

Ocean Groves Andrea Robertson eases us into Autumn with her golden new EP Seasons Volume 1 "IndyWatch Feed Vic"
Ocean Groves Andrea Robertson is the singer and songwriter whose name is now synonymous with passion, honesty and integrity.
When you hear her songs, its instantly clear the immense power Robertson holds with her voice both delicate and mighty with each word sung. Her cadence and style stir listeners and provides them with comfort and warmth, something ever-present on her new EP Seasons Volume 1.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
Radiating with an inner and outer heat, Seasons Volume 1 arrives this Autumn (and with it, three stunning new songs), marking the first of a series of four EPs to be released over the course of a year, all coinciding with the change of the seasons.
An intimate record of personal growth and transformation, Andrea Robertsons new EP opens in a lush and lifting haze: gentle acoustics lull us into a trance as Robertson blends honest songwriting with eloquent vocals. She sings, Im throwing off all my troubles, leaving behind all my cares, focusing on what really matters, and that is why youre still here.
The name of the opening track is appropriately named All That Glitters, the first single released from the EP.
I really love this song, I wrote it after sitting down and strumming an old 12-string guitar my husband bought for me. It was one of the songs that briefly (but not completely) broke the long, dry spell in my songwriting.
With a certain warmness that feels like a fresh jacket on a chilly night, More Than Ever is the the EPs second track, channelling Robertsons knack for creating nostalgic blends of folk, country and soulful-blues-inspired songs.
Over a bluesy acoustic guitar, this dazzling song bares resemblance to a classic alt-country track and Robertsons sweet voice and signature tones falls over them fittingly. The song finds Robertson singing a poetic tale whilst around her guitars glisten like red and yellow leaves on a tree. Warm, breezy and country-tinged as ever, the near-five-minute song ends with sparse, fading instruments that leave us inspired, exhilarated, and ready for the next adventure.

Govt committee in Pakistan lets plagiarizing vice-chancellor off the hook "IndyWatch Feed National"
A government expert committee in Pakistan last year cleared a university vice-chancellor of plagiarism charges based on inconsistent claims of ignorance, Retraction Watch has learned.
The committee, which was convened by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), also appears to have flouted rules that would have held the vice-chancellor responsible even if he had no knowledge of any plagiarism committed by work under his supervision. HEC funds and oversees higher education in Pakistan.
This sends the wrong message to the academic community and undermines the credibility of the HEC, Farukh Iqbal, who brought the charges, told Retraction Watch.
The case seemed simple enough at first. But it has since spiraled into a saga that may reveal as much about the value of political muscle in Pakistan as it does about academic dishonesty.
In October 2020, Iqbal was working toward a PhD in chemical engineering at RMIT University in Australia when he noticed a new paper in the journal Fuel that looked familiar. The authors, it turned out, had lifted heavily from Iqbals 2017 masters thesis, as we reported in 2021.
Iqbal complained to both the HEC and Fuel. The journal investigated and found that Iqbals work had indeed been plagiarized. It pulled the paper in June 2021. (The retraction notice mistakenly refers to a PhD thesis.)
That same month, however, the first author of the retracted paper, Vice-chancellor...

Contributed by Joe Montero
Anthony Albaneses performance in San Diego was an embarrassment. Surely, he could have at least pretended to be other than a fawning puppet of the United States. Standing up as a leader with his own mind and a little independence would have won respect. The cringe worthy performance failed to do this. Many expected much better from a government they expected to turn away from the foreign policy of the Scott Morrison era. They are left disappointed.
The Australian Prime Minister joined US president Joe Biden and British Prime Minister rishi Sunak. These are the three countries joined in the AUKUS alliance, and it has been clear from who is calling the shots from the start. This has now been confirmed. Biden made it clear that hat his words that the purpose is to ensure the Indo-Pacific is kept free and open. This is code for maintaining the two oceans as United States spheres of influence and control. Sunak and Albanese played second fiddle.

Australia has signed up for the stationing of a fleet of nuclear submarines and expanding the number of United States military personnel on Australian soil and this has nothing to do with the defence of Australia. If this had been the case, equipping the Australian Defence Force would have taken a different form. It would not be based on the means to fight overseas, which is exactly what the submarines and the military alliance is all about.
The cost has of the submarines already blown out to $368 billion and likely to blow out much more before they are delivered sometime after 2030. This will impose a considerable cost on the Australian government and economy. Investment that could have been used for more useful purposes will be directed down this black hole.
If the truth were told, it would be said that these submarines will not really be Australian. They will remain under Washingtons command, while Australia gets saddled with the bill. The expanded port in Western Australia will become an American facility. The promised small arms and military supp...

Wetland addiction "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"
My wetland addiction persists
The highlight of last weekend was five (5) Gull-billed Terns. Only my second local record of this species, the small and exclusive party soared into the sky high above me along with a mixed flock of Straw-necked Ibis and ducks (Grey Teal, Australian Shelduck, Pacific Black Duck and Australian Shoveler).
The Gull-billed Tern is a distinctive tern of both coastal and inland wetlands, foraging over shallow water for invertebrates, also taking frogs, lizards and flying insects on occasion. Significantly larger than both the Whiskered Tern and White-winged Black Tern (both species also seen this summer), the Gull-billed Tern has a heavy black bill and a large, black piratical patch surrounding the eye.
Black-tailed Native-hens are another irregular visitor, arriving as if from nowhere to the plains. To date Ive only seen a handful, but suspect more will arrive from the inland over coming weeks.
Small numbers of Golden-headed Cisticolas have been conspicuous on a number of wetlands.

Were ready to deliver and were here for the long run: Jimmy Eat World share Clarity on Their Future and Past "IndyWatch Feed Vic"
A gut-wrenching line delivered by THE Hilary Duff to Chad Michael Murray in the iconic 00s movie A Cinderella Story. Cut to the final play of the homecoming game, as Duffs Sam is chased down by Murrays Austin to share a kiss. A droplet falls on Sams cheek and the skies open up signalling the end of the drought. It is a pop culture moment that changed history itself, all underscored by the steady, emotionally-charged build of Jimmy Eat Worlds Hear You Me.
This is just one moment of the 90s and early 2000s soundtracked and made superior by the presence of Jim Adkins, Zach Lind, Tom Linton and Rick Burch. They made an appearance on Murray-led drama One Tree Hill at the infamous TRIC, and wanna-be rockstars lived out their best Jimmy Eat World stage experience playing The Middle on plastic-coloured buttons on Guitar Hero World Tour. It all came after the commercial success of Bleed American, but at this point, Jimmy was an adventurous and clever eight-year-old kid who had just entered his emo phase.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
Formed in 1993, the four-piece from Mesa, Arizona cut their teeth on the punk rock sounds of the southwest, releasing their debut EP One, Two, Three, Four the following year. It was their debut album Static Prevails and sophomore giant Clarity that built the Jimmy Eat World depth and diversified sound, drawing from the Sunny Day Real Estate framework. But the grunge waves of the 90s were bubbling at the shore of the new millennium as the indie rock resurgence and emo evolution appeared on the music horizon. Jimmy Eat World were in the swells, about to unknowingly hang ten on the shifting tides.
At the time when we were making Clarity and Bleed American, we were a really young band and we didnt really know how far we would go. We felt...

Rental relief in the regions "IndyWatch Feed Vic"
City rentals tighten
SQM Research reported today an increase in rental vacancy rates in Darwin, Canberra, Hobart, as well as many regional locations, as the long tail of the dwelling construction pipeline delivered some welcome relief to tenants.
There were significant increases in rental vacancy rates in many parts of regional Australia: Gold Coast, Mornington Peninsula, and the Blue Mountains, for example.
On the other hand there were sharp declines to very tight levels in CBD vacancy rates for Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, as international students rushed back to Australia.
Overall, there is likely to be ongoing pressure in the rental markets of the larger capital cities as students return and as employers increasingly require employees to be back in the office.
Indeed there was no respite for renters in the largest capitals, with asking rents for units rising nearly 9 per cent in Sydney and Melbourne over the past quarter, while Brisbane wasn't far behind.
