Crank the Croc
THERE’S plenty of roadworks going on along Steve Irwin Way, which will be good in the long term.
In the short-term though my cold blooded heart goes out to shops that look like they’re about to be swallowed up by a new traffic lane.
A couple of small signs saying “Shops are still open” remind drivers they can stop. But who would? It’s too difficult.
Hope the traders are getting some compo for the disruption.

ANYONE else wonder what was going on during the Oympics Opening Ceremony.
Me neither and apparently that’s my fault.
Anyway it’s that time in the sporting calendar that we stay glued to our screens and become experts on everything from street skating to shuttlecock.
Didn’t the Matildas cop it for losing badly to Germany.
Luckily they kind of made amends by beating football powerhouse Zambia, 6-5. Maybe the Premier will announce plans for a new bronze statue for the team.
What, me worry?!
READING quite a bit about the housing crisis and everyone pointing the finger about like they’re holding a water diviner.
On the horizon is another interesting predicament and that’s the lack of jobs.
Friends have told us that their kids who graduated last year simply can’t find work. The preceding year it was a matter of turning up at the front door of an employer and you’d be ushered straight in. Not so much anymore.
If we are following the US, then another percentage point of unemployed in 12 months’ time is increasingly likely.
Anyone else remember leaving school in a recession?
I did, but luckily was too naive to know too much about it so just thought it was normal to have to scrap for a job.
