So it was with great disappointment I learnt my favourite Sydney food truck would be out of action indefinitely over summer. Yet the news was not all bad: chef and owner Alexander Wong was parking his mobile food stand because he was working on opening a restaurant. While the truck focused on Malays..

• Tom will be sorely missed

  

  AS YEARS roll by, the more it becomes apparent that the people who love the light harness sport are still the bonds that hold the game together. Last month we lost a long and devoted supporter in Tom Henry Maher. Born in Charlton Victoria in 1932, Tom trained and drove his own team in the early 70s all around the Victorian country circuit, including horses like Hillsend Lass, Satin Adios, Eastern Nymph and Golden Kay. He became another name on the list of southern transplants when mo..

• Great dividing wage

  

  NEW wealth distribution figures reveal the widest divide between the Coffs-Clarence region's "richest and the rest" lies in the Korora-Emerald Beach area. The top 1% of earners took in 9.3% of the area's total income in 2012-13, according to new Australian Bureau of Statistics data. Those in the highest 5% wage bracket earned 23.4% of the area's income, while the top 10% shared 34.7% of total earnings. That left nine out of 10 working-age adults with less than two-thirds of the total..

• A silent reception for a smart report

  

  For me, the most interesting thing about gas in eastern Australia in the past week has not been the widely-publicised decision by AGL Energy to walk away from its coal seam gas project in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, but the quiet, almost surreptitious, publishing by the Federal Government of a new report on gas price trends.Commissioned by the federal industry department from consultants Oakley Greenwood, the 180-page review has materialised without fanfare — no media statement by the..

• Gadfly: Is Brandis suffering drain damage?

  I keep hearing this story about Bookshelves Brandis, and as I’m sure it can’t be entirely accurate I’m loath to repeat it. Maybe a Queensland reader can clear up the confusion.  It seems that when young George was a law student at the University of Queensland he was prone to irritate people, something that seems entirely out of character today.  A group of his irritated colleagues seized the soon-to-be-brilliant lawyer and put him down a stormwater drain, with a heavy metal cover.  He was le..

• Serial crook walks free after more than a year in prison

  

  A CAREER crook who likes breaking into people's homes at night and stealing things has been sentenced to four years behind bars. But remarkably he walked free from court after a judge deemed the 417 days he had already spent in custody was enough. Light-fingered Goodna man Warren Doyn Cobbo, 42, pleaded guilty to 24 burglary offences committed between October, 2011 and May, 2014. Cobbo targeted homes in Yamanto, Collingwood Park, Flinders View and Redbank Plains during his 18 month c..
