ABC News


"Not seek any financial compensation" means it's already been settled privately with NDAs or has an early release payout in her contract, so that it literally cannot mean 'compensation'. An employment lawyer wouldn't have just had her resign without some form of settlement.

Yeah, settled already.
Still a sad day.
Will be interesting if Scurrah gets the job which I’m still hearing is a possibility

As much as I don't like him, Biden is now Nevada away from claiming victory.

Could be worse.

Could have to put up with another four years of Trump, or worse *gulp* KANYE :lol:

That is why I rate it, I think things will get very ugly once Trump is ousted but the long term prognosis is better for the world IMO.

Either way, I doubt whether either of them will see out their term.

The big Goofy Year 12 has had his last exam this morning...

Finished strong, though he isn't so confident about the exam, apparently it was a bit of a tough one.

He's a good lad who isn't a natural scholar, but has worked incredibly hard and deserves to have a nice break before he starts Uni (hopefully) next year.

It'll be nice having a cleaner, dishwasher and gardener in the house... :)

It's been an interesting year, business wise. How has everyone else faired?

We (my work) have actually had a damn good 2020 so far, in comparison to 2019. Covid, while frustrating, has not overly affected us.

That said I know I have missed some opportunities, in particular overseas through not being able to travel. I hope that in 2021 we can travel again, so I can re-gain some bits of lost territory. One of my competitors in NZ, have an ex All Black as the Sales Rep....... the locals think he is some type of god. That aside I get a fair bit more work than he does.

Other than some delays in raw materials from the biggest country in Asia we haven't noticed any drop off.

Importing delays, from competitors have been good news for us. Now to sandbag the gains we have made, post Covid. Putting plans in place around that now.

My back yard crop* this year.

Tomatoes, corn, capsicum, basil, strawberries, all of them are kicking goals. Put them in late September and they've gone mad. Had to add 1.8m high stakes to the tomatoes as they've already outgrown the 1.2m high ones. Corn looks like something out of a bloody gardening show.

Maresi!
