Eleven cyclones tipped for summerNeroli Roocke, Monday October 14, 2013 - 17:35 EDT
A near-average tropical cyclone season is forecast for northern Australia.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the tropical Pacific Ocean, which affects tropical cyclone activity in Australia, is currently neutral (neither El Niño nor La Niña), meaning there is no strong shift expected in the average location of tropical cyclones.
It says most tropical cyclones occur between the start of November and the end of April.
In an average season 11 will form near Australia and about four will cross the coast.
Last summer was also an average season for cyclones, with the preceding two years (2010-11 and 2011-12) above average for cyclone activity.

Family meals 'healthier for kids'
- 20 December 2012
How often do you sit down together as a family for a meal?
As well as being a chance for a good catch up, new research suggests family meals may be making you healthier.
Researchers at the University of Leeds found that eating together - even if it's just once or twice a week - boosts how much fruit and vegetables kids eat.
Fruit and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre which are really important for keeping our bodies healthy.
Five portions per day
The researchers studied the eating habits of 2,400 children at 52 primary schools in south London.
They found that those who always ate together managed to have the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables each day.
Those who only sometimes ate together came close.
Experts reckon that watching your parents and brothers or sisters eat teaches you good habits.
'Healthier choices'
The study found 656 families said they always ate meals together at a table, 768 sometimes did, while 92 families never did so.
Health experts are now calling for more to be done to encourage families to get together at meal times.
Azmina Govindji, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "If children are eating better in childhood, they are more likely to make healthier choices in adult life - and since food directly impacts risks of conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, eating together as a family seems like a small price to pay."

The latest figures issued to ifa's sister publication SMSF Adviser by the regulator indicate ASIC has received 276 applications for limited licences as of 28 January 2016 and approved 88 limited AFSLs.
The number of limited licence applications submitted to ASIC has increased by 72, up from 204 as reported by SMSF Adviser last year, while the number of approved applications has risen by 10.
SMSF Association head of education Liz Ward said accountants have repeatedly been warned by ASIC that 31 March is the effective cut-off date for those accountants who want limited licences.
"After this date, the regulator is giving no guarantees that there will be sufficient time for accountants to meet the necessary requirements involved in getting an AFS licence," said Ms Ward.
"Across the industry there is concern and, to some degree, bewilderment about what the thousands of accountants who now advise SMSFs are going to do after 30 June."
If accountants are not operating under an AFS licence, whether full or limited, or have not established a referral arrangement or joint venture with a party that has an appropriate AFSL, Ms Ward said, they will effectively only be able to provide tax advice to their SMSF clients.
She also warned accountants who are expecting the deadline to be extended that they will be "sorely disappointed".
"If you haven't got your plans well underway by now, you have a problem," she said.

Accountants know they don't have to worry about this because ASIC has always turned a blind eye to their activity, while strangling the life out of financial planners. ASIC's view is that consumers are better off with conflicted, inappropriate, ill informed, undocumented advice from an accountant, than with any sort of advice from financial planners.
Accountant SMSF licensing is just ASIC pretending to be even handed. No-one expects them to actually enforce it.
The law is in and the deadline looming.
Importantly, getting your own license is just one way for accountants to satisfy the new law. I believe the easier and more productive way is to join a licensee that can authorise them and support them in this new era of advice.
Accountants are living in la la land. It has never actually dawned on them how lucky they are. They were given an exemption from the FSR laws for the last 15 years. It was always supposed to be temporary and they are lucky it was put in the too hard basket for so long. It was never the Government's intention for accountants to be allowed to give unlicensed, undocumented (and in many cases very poor) financial advice without any relevant qualifications or training and limited recourse for those who are adversely affected. It is time for all accountants to put the violin away and get to work on getting professionally licensed. They will find no sympathy on a financial planning forum like this!Concerns mount as accountants snub licence date
Disappointed Accountant, Reality has said what I was looking to say so much better.
There are numerous AFSLs who are providing RG146 courses over 2 or 3 days that will allow accountants to able to get a limited licence. So the requirements are not overly burdensome to get the qualification initially.
The biggest issue that accountants will face is documenting the advice they give. In my experience accountants rarely put their advice in writing. I was in a meeting with one of the partners at a large firm I worked for. He was giving the client some quite complex advice. After the client left I asked him if he would now document that and give it to the client? His answer was "Hell No! You can get sued doing that." Given that the concepts were reasonably complex for the client to grasp, I asked what happened if it was implemented wrongly? "I just tell them that they misunderstood what I said..."
@Dissappointed and Reality
You are both correct of sorts and to a point.
Planners can advise only on taxation consequences as a result of their financial planning advice but they cannot charge for or "do tax work". The CPD requirements for this allowance is laughable. i.e. too much for next to nothing.
Similarly on licencing side the volume of work, complexity and costs put on accountants is more ill thought through legislation from the government now in opposition.
Nevertheless limited licencing does NOT allow an "accountant to advise on basically everything a financial planner does". They can do class of product only eg 20% domestic, 30% int'l equities etc but not security level, which share, ETF or managed fund unless they opt for a full licence.
I have met lots of bright people from both professions, I have never met ONE that was really good at both, I don't think it's possible. You will let your clients down in some respect, so just do one option (accounting or planning) or have a good referral option in place and do both that way.
The biggest issue for the accountants is managing the risk if they opt out and "just provide the facts" which I'm sure is a temptation for many.
They can be deemed to be giving advice if things don't go swimmingly and then be accused by ASIC of giving unlicensed advice which is a very serious offence that can and does result in court action.
Damned if they do and damned if they don't. It's not fair and reasonable but it is a reality that needs to be managed.
Hello, accountants shouldn't have been giving all the AFSL required advice that they were giving with zero AFSL compliance.
Now they are being asked to play on the same AFSL compliance field as financial advisers they realise it's an absolute bucket load of work. And far from a free gravy train.
And guess what they are actually too busy being accountants and doing a good job at that rather than try to do another full time financial advice job too.
So accountants will generally choose to stick to doing accountant work, SMSF accounts / admin etc as they should have been and partner with a full time financial adviser.
And for those either super smart enough (or stupid enough) to do 2 full time jobs, I say good luck to you :-)
@Disappointed Accountant
I see where you are coming from but all the TPB tax adviser allows you to do is essentially consider tax law for financial planning strategies. Doesn't allow a financial planner to do a clients tax return etc like licensing allows an Accountant to advise on everything a Financial Planner does.
I personally don't think it is comparable. TPB doesn't allow an adviser to be an Accountant but licensing allows an accountant to advise on basically everything a financial planner does.
@Jimmy Neutron - you obviously see no difference in the qualifications required to be TPB tax (financial) advisers. You are capable of using Ɖ years work experience' as acceptable to get this label - provided a third party puts that on letterhead. I don't see that happening for accountants who have been doing this for over 10-25 years! Or do I misunderstand the requirements for tax (financial) advisers?Concerns mount as accountants snub licence date
Most financial planners have opted to be licensed under the TPB's Tax (Financial Adviser) Practitioner option, bringing them into line with the requirements of the system both in terms of initial and ongoing education and CPD requirements. By most comments on these topics from accountants around limited licensing, I couldn't say the same for accountants. Most seem to keep stating that they've been giving advice for years and why should they change now?Concerns mount as accountants snub licence date
I suppose this whole enforcement on Accountants but nothing has been done about Financial planners who provide 'tax advice' is a sore point ... So I wonder why accountants are not rushing!Concerns mount as accountants snub licence date
Has anybody considered the fact that many accountants wont bother because they wont be interested in doing the work?Concerns mount as accountants snub licence date

Create Fabric Care and Content Labels
Consider DIY fabric care and fiber content labels to include along with unique home-made identifying labels for home sewn garments or fabric craft items. Enhance the quality of your sewn creation, promote a budding brand, and lend a professionalism that will set home sewn items apart from others.
Denim Projects to Sew
The strong, rugged cotton fabric known as denim has a storied history. This legendary cloth is well known as hard working clothing of choice (for its durability), worn as a past symbolic badge of rebellion (American pop culture) or adopted even today by esteemed makers of high fashion clothing.
Draft Stoppers for Door or Window
As autumn will surely make its majestic last stand giving way to the chill of oncoming winter a draft stopper, or draft dodger, can ward off the drafty air that can seep under all but the tightest weather-resistant doors. Draft stoppers are easy to sew for all skill levels.
Easy Halloween Costumes for Kids
Dressing up in costume for Halloween remains an enduring childhood tradition. Something quick and easy to sew or no-sew is often a must for busy households. Costumes for children should be easy to make and comfortable to wear with safety concerns utmost.
Easy Projects to Sew Using Bandanas
The bandana has become an iconic summer fabric favorite. Like its Americana counterpart - blue jeans, it has withstood the test of time.
Easy To Sew Capes, Ponchos, Wraps
The graceful flowing lines of a cape with its charming hairstylesaving hood, easy pull-over-the-head poncho or unstructured wrap/shawl styles become chic outerwear when you sew them from this seasons luxurious fleece, wools and wool-blends.
Fabric Jewelry
Fashioning jewelry out of fabric can produce a distinctive wearable art piece that is surprising, unconventional and unique.
Fabric Stablizers
Stabilizers are generally non-woven textiles placed inside or under fabric pieces during construction to provide support and stability to the garment when stitching, particulary during embroidery. Stabilizers are different than iron-on or sew-on interfacings which also provide fabric support.
Fabric to Knit or Crochet
Fabric can be thought of as much more than flat yardage to cut and sew into clothing, accessories and items for the home. Fabric can be treated like yarn loomed, braided, knit or crocheted too.
Fat Quarters
Fat quarters are one-quarter yard fabric pieces of precisely sized cuts from a variety of coordinating fabrics. Not rectangular in size but more square-ish and wide, hence the name. A quilt makers' delight, however these precut fabric bundles are also very useful for small sewing projects.

Godvig Capital's Iraq-focused hedge fund, the Babylon Fund, experienced its biggest monthly drawdown since inception, losing 5.4% in November. The drawdown slowed the US$13.1 million fund's year-to-date returns to 13.6%.
In his monthly investor letter, portfolio manager Björn Englund partially attributed the loss to "the general spike in risk aversion globally and in the region in November, which was combined with 'lack-of-liquidity-driven' falling share prices on the Iraq Stock Exchange and higher yields, while the ongoing appreciation of the Iraqi dinar stalled–at least temporarily."
The open-ended mutual fund structured vehicle's largest losses during the month were in a few Iraqi financial services names such as Dar ElSalam Investment Bank and Kurdistan International Bank, which both lost a 25% of their value in November.
Going forward, Englund said he expects the hiccup in the Iraqi equities market to subside and the prevailing improved security and macroeconomic situation in Iraq to help "breath new life into the stock market and investors' sentiment in 2008."

I went out for a few drinks the other night. This was after I had already had a few drinks at home celebrating my wife's birthday. I think the police call this "preloading".
I hadn't been out for a while, probably a month or two, some friends were in town . . . I felt some modest "preloading" was acceptable.
I was in the provinces, New Plymouth, so, to be honest, options were limited. It certainly wasn't Wellington and its endless ways and locations to drink until you are no smarter than a four- year-old. Still, New Plymouth isn't without its charms.
The first bar was full of guys I play football with. They are, to a man, at least a decade younger than me and being in their mid-20s they dress like they are lost in the 80s. Think Duran Duran, George Michael before he came out of the closet or Rob Lowe from the movie St Elmo's Fire. They are all chest up top, suffocating denims down low and hair heading to every degree of the compass. I don't know how they breathe below the waist in those jeans, let alone put that area in charge of the thinking.
Men in their 20s are like roosters, strutting and scratching around, pecking at their drink, always keeping an eye out for Miss Right Now who in a week or two may actually turn into Miss Right.
They would certainly have noticed Kate, the rest of the bar did. When it came to fashion, Kate subscribed to the less-is-more convention. She was on her hen's night and about to marry a farmer who was going to love and care for her deep in rural Taranaki. She was partying like she might never see civilisation again.
She was particularly keen to impress upon my group how proud she was of a certain two parts of her anatomy. It's the same two parts most men keep a pretty close eye on naturally, so she needn't have bought it to our attention.
The second bar was dark and dingy. No-one seemed to have had a haircut or a shave this year. They played the music with no singing that you have to be really drunk to enjoy. So, obviously the dance floor was packed. I felt very old at this bar; I wanted to request a song I heard on the radio in my car. I would have been laughed at or assaulted. I wasn't keen on either.
The third bar was an Irish one and even though I'm of Welsh descent, it seemed just right. They had music coming from people playing instruments rather than a guy with a laptop, a pretend record player and a set of expensive headphones hanging off one ear.
I had a couple more drinks, played some air guitar to a Bon Jovi song that was No 1 20-odd years ago, then my sister-in- law kindly drove me home.
I guess what I'm starting to realise is I am 35 years old. A mathematician would say I'm probably somewhere near middle-aged. Now, while I wasn't the youngest at the pub, and hopefully not the oldest either, by Sunday lunchtime I was wondering why I had gone out in the first place.
I won't admit it just yet, but if I'm not there already, I think I maybe just about to hit the dinner-party stage of my life. And you know what; I think that could be OK. Stay tuned.

Coping saws, sometimes referred to as scroll saws, are well known as manually reciprocating tools for cutting through thin materials such as plywood, masonite, balsa wood, plastic and soft metals. A conventional coping saw blade has perpendicular pins at each end that engage slots in anchor bolts at the tips of a U-frame. The U-frame has an aperture at one tip for an anchor bolt with a head and an aperture at the other tip for an anchor bolt with a thread for attaching a handle and tensioning the blade between the two tips of the U-frame. U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,635 to Hutchins is an example of an improved blade holding system using the conventional blade with pins at the ends and anchor bolt slots.
The blade is customarily mounted with the blade cutting surface away from the tips of the U-frame. However, as disclosed in Hutchins, the anchor bolts can be rotated in the apertures to change the direction of the cutting surface of the blade.
The depth of the U-frame determines the dimension that a cut can be made inside from the edge of material to be cut. By rotating the blade 90 degrees by the anchor bolts, a second cut can be made parallel to that same edge. By rotating the blade an additional 90 degrees by the anchor bolts, a third cut can be made to return to the edge of the material resulting in the separation of a rectangular piece of material. The kerf of these cuts will be the thickness of the saw blade.
The rotation of the saw blade by the anchor bolts enables a user to obtain smooth cuts but it requires stopping the sawing motion to rotate the handle to relieve the tension on the blade so that the blade can be rotated via the anchor bolts to the desired angle. The handle is then rotated to re-tension the blade and sawing motion resumed. This is considered to be inconvenient, time consuming and increases the wear on the threaded handle and anchor bolt interface.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,548,393 to Strug is an earlier effort to permit a rotary adjustment of a coping saw blade to any desired angle to the workpiece by an adjustment of ratchet wheels with leaf springs intersecting the teeth of the ratchet wheels. Again, the sawing motion in Strug must be stopped to permit the angular adjustment as in Hutchins.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,514,609 to Roy is an effort to permit multidirectional coping saw cutting without interrupting the sawing motion. Roy discloses a blade with teeth extending continuously and spirally in a helical manner around a hardened cylindrical wire body. The kerf of the cut is the diameter of the wire plus the additional extending teeth depth. The cutting action is more of a ripping action with the teeth not aligned with a thin backing support resulting in a cut that is not as smooth and thin as a conventional coping saw cut.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,642,038 to Mannes is another effort to permit multi-directional cutting in a sabre saw in which the user is not limited to the depth of a U-frame as in a coping saw because the blade is only connected at one end. However, in Mannes as in Roy, the cutting action is a ripping action and the kerf is not very thin and smooth.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a saw blade that can be used in a coping saw U-frame to provide a smooth cut in multiple directions without changing the setting of the blade and without changing the orientation of the saw. This is accomplished by an axial movement of the saw blade that will rotate the cutting surface 90 degrees each in three increments resulting in four different cutting directions. Within each increment, the cutting surface permits enough reciprocating movement to perform a conventional smooth and thin cut.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide rubber O-rings to secure anchoring pins in the anchor bolts to prevent broken blades from being propelled when a blade breaks and the spring tension of the U-frame is released.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a coping saw that is safe, convenient to use and requiring less time to use by children in handicraft classes where they can develop manual dexterity and coordination in using prescribed sawing motion and axial adjustment to achieve desired directional cutting changes.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a coping saw that is an improvement over Hutchins, Strug, Roy and Mannes, incorporated herein by reference, in the features of those prior art saws as explained above.
The above stated and related objects are achieved in a saw blade that can be used in a conventional coping saw in a slightly revised conventional manner. The blade has a single cutting surface of four segments that can transition from straight cutting 90 degrees to the left, then to a cutting surface 180 degrees to the reverse, then to a cutting surface 270 degrees to the right and finally to the first cutting surface.
In this manner, a rectangular piece can be cut out from a piece of material by a continuous reciprocating cutting motion and axial adjustment of the blade while cutting to transition to each of the four cutting directions.
The U-frame support can also be simplified by eliminating the anchor bolt at the front end of the blade and providing a fixed integral anchor slot for inserting the blade pins. Since there is no need to rotate an anchor bolt to change the cutting direction, the anchor can be fixed. Also, the handle portion with the threaded anchor bolt can be converted to a non-cylindrical interface between the anchor and the aperture to avoid any unwanted rotation while sawing and transitioning through the 90 degree segments.
Rubber O-rings are used to secure the blade and pins in the slots at the ends of the blade.
FIG. 1 is a top view of a coping saw blade with four cutting surface directions.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the coping saw blade.
FIG. 3 is a view of the blade in a conventional copiong saw frame.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the encircled forward anchor for the front blade support of FIG. 3 showing the use of a rubber O-ring for improved anchoring of the blade.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the encircled 90 degree transition from the first cutting surface to the second cutting surface of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is a view of a stepping cut using the blade.
FIG. 7 is an illustration of two cuts demonstrating use of the blade to remove a rectangular piece (1) from the edge of a piece of material and (2) from within a piece of material.
FIG. 8 is an illustration of an electric bench jig saw with a vertically adjustable work support.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the saw blade 1 in an embodiment of its intended use in a coping saw. At each end are pins 2 that can be inserted in slots in two anchor bolts in a U-frame 4 as shown in FIG. 3. Handle 5 is threadedly attached to one of the anchor bolts and can provide tension on the blade.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of 6 off FIG. 3 showing blade 1 with pin 2 inserted into slot 8 of anchor bolt 7 to secure the far end of the blade in the U-frame 4. The other near end of the blade is similarly anchored in an anchor bolt that is threadedly attached to the handle.
FIG. 4 also shows rubber O-ring 9 tightly secured around the anchor bolt away from the slot prior to insertion of pin 2 into slot 8. Another O-ring would be similarly situated on the anchor bolt on the other end of blade 1 that is attached to the handle. After insertion of the pins, the O-rings are moved over to the slot to better secure the pin in the respective slots for sawing in different directions. Also, in case of blade breakage, the broken blade will not be propelled by the spring force of the U-frame.
FIG. 5 shows the enlarged portion 3 from FIG. 2 of the first transition from the straight cutting surface to one rotated 90 degrees to the left. This transition covers about ⅛ to {fraction (3/16)} of an inch and occurs at two other transition points along the blade as shown to the left in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIGS. 6 and 7 disclose the operation of the saw in cutting material in different directions using cutting surfaces 11, 12, 13 and 14 as shown in FIG. 3.
In FIG. 6, the cut is achieved by initiating the cut with cutting surface 11 to the end of the first cut 15, pushing the blade through to engage cutting surface 12 and applying pressure to the left while sawing for the given distance 16, pulling the blade back to re-engage cutting surface 11, making cut 17 for the given distance, pushing the blade through again to engage cutting surface 12 to perform cut 18, pulling the blade back to perform cut 19 and, finally, pushing the blade through again to engage cutting surface 12 to complete cut 20.
In FIG. 7, the cut-out section on the left is achieved by initiating the cut 21 with cutting surface 11 to the end of the first cut 21, pushing the blade through to engage cutting surface 12 and applying pressure to the left while sawing for the given distance 22, pushing the blade through to engage cutting surface 13 and applying upward pressure while sawing to complete cut 23 to the edge of the material.
In FIG. 7, the cut-out section on the right is achieved by initiating the cut 24 with cutting surface 11 to the end of the first cut 24, pushing the blade through to engage cutting surface 12 and applying pressure to the left while sawing for the given distance 25, pushing the blade through to engage cutting surface 13 and applying upward pressure while sawing to complete cut 26, pushing the blade through to cutting surface 14 and applying pressure to the right while sawing to the end of cut 27 resulting in the rectangular section bounded by 24-25-26-27 dropping out of the material.
The preferred embodiment of the blade is to be used in a coping saw comprising a U-frame as described above. However, in view of the Mannes disclosure above, another embodiment of the blade could be used in an electric sabre saw (with one end support) or an electric bench jig saw with both ends supported where an electric motor is the reciprocating mover (instead of manual movement as in the preferred coping saw movement). However, in each of these cases, sawing would be interrupted because a shoe or work supporting surface would have to be adjusted relative to the cutting surface along the length of the blade to perform the needed change of cutting direction.
In FIG. 8, motor 28 is a reciprocating mover of saw blade 29 which can cut through a workpiece supported on work support 30. Work support 30 can be adjusted vertically with respect to blade 29 with the four different orientations to saw in four different directions without having to rotate the workpiece being cut.
Having described the preferred embodiment and obvious modifications of it, there may be others that are obvious and are also intended to be covered by this disclosure.

Kiwifruit disease spreads through Waikato
Relevant offers
Nearly 30 kiwifruit orchards in the greater Waikato region are now infected with Psa-V, the vine-killing disease that has brought the gold fruit export industry to its knees.
An additional 36 orchards in the Waihi area have the bacterial infection.
There are 131 registered kiwifruit orchards in Waikato, which until Psa-V hit in August, contributed around 20 per cent of the country's export organic kiwifruit crop. Last year they earned $29 million and provided jobs for 300 at the season's peak.
The Kiwifruit Vine Health agency said 14 Waikato orchards had been confirmed with the disease and 15 on the Coromandel Peninsula.
The next kiwifruit harvest is in April and KVH Waikato co-ordinator Richard Glenn said for many growers this would be their last gold fruit crop until new graftings of hopefully less vulnerable varieties got established.
"It's going to be a tough five years. Kiwifruit growing in New Zealand has changed forever."
The disease, discovered in Te Puke two years ago, has now spread throughout the North Island.

It's Official: Ian Holm Returns as Bilbo Baggins in 'The Hobbit'
Ian Holm will reprise his "Lord of the Rings" role in "The Hobbit". Although Martin Freeman has taken the lead role of Bilbo Baggins in the adventure fantasy movie, director Peter Jackson has confirmed via his Facebook account that Holm will still make an appearance in the film as the elder version of Baggins.
"One comment that came up from the recent video blog was the Bilbo voice at the end - many of you assumed it was Sir Ian Holm," the post read. "Whilst Ian will be returning as the older Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, that recording was actually Martin Freeman's voice, taken from a script read through we recorded when the cast first arrived. I have to admit, I wasn't sure who it was when I first heard it, either. Cheers, Peter J".
"The Hobbit" focuses on Bilbo Baggins who joins a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets Gollum, the creature that will change his life forever.
Beside Freeman and Holm, the forthcoming film also has Richard Armitage on the cast line-up to play Thorin. Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, and Andy Serkis will also reprise their "Lord of the Rings" roles as Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, Legolas, and Gollum respectively. Serkis additionally serves as second unit director in the film which is due in December 2012.

Sean Plunket
British Prime Minister David Cameron is copping a mountain of flak for his refusal to implement the major recommendations of the Leveson inquiry into the phone hacking and skulduggery practised by many members of the British media.
OPINION: Justice Leveson wants a new statutory body to oversee a new independent press regulator which would supposedly be an independent check against the unethical and in many cases illegal activities undertaken by British hacks and sanctioned by their bosses.
A group called "Hacked Off" which represents many of the "victims" of phone hacking and journalistic malfeasance claims Mr Cameron's refusal to implement the recommendations is a massive moral and political failure and has launched a petition to push for a cross party consensus to implement Lord Leveson's ideas.
Here in New Zealand there were calls this week for more rules regarding election coverage when Massey University marketing expert Associate Professor Claire Robinson claimed her analysis of newspaper coverage of the election campaign showed a pro National Party bias.
The stories both concern a desire to somehow control the way the fourth estate might operate in a Westminster style democracy.
I'll deal with Claire Robinson's bias claims first. It was hardly cutting edge stuff - she simply counted and measured the column centimetres Phil Goff and John Key received in the four weeks of the election campaign and whether or not the respective leaders were smiling.
Seems there were more photos of Mr Key and he was smiling more often. Add to that the fact that National won the election and, bingo, you have an inherent bias among the mainstream media so obvious that Mr Goff has considered complaining to the Press Council.
If he does I don't imagine he'll get that far. The narrow focus of the Robinson study and her somewhat simplistic notions of what constitutes unbiased coverage make her research virtually worthless.
Media coverage doesn't necessarily equate to positive electoral outcomes. John Key himself noted much of the latter coverage in the campaign involved pictures of him smiling at John Banks, blissfully unaware that a radio microphone on the table between them was recording every golden word.
This isn't to say there is no bias in New Zealand media. There most certainly is at an individual and institutional level. Most often, it is unconscious or unwitting, incredibly hard to positively identify and virtually impossible to eradicate.
To attempt to do so by writing a new set of rules and regulations would be a waste of time. It would hamstring the majority of genuine journalists doing their best to inform their readers/viewers/listeners of the opinions and activities of our politicians.
Impartiality has always, and ever will be, an aspirational goal for the media but kidding ourselves that some code of conduct can ever actually achieve it is a vain hope.
Events in Britain, where media bias is generally accepted, are far more concerning. The issues there are not about how the fourth estate presents the news but how it gathers it. In the case of Rupert Murdoch's empire it would seem the catch cry was "by any means necessary".
I'm happy to say that in my 25 plus years in New Zealand media it is not the prevalent attitude here. I don't know any Kiwi colleague who has bribed, hacked or blackmailed to get a story. The teapot tapes suggest some of us aren't above a bit of covert surveillance but it is most certainly the exception rather than the rule.
The Leveson inquiry showed us that attitudes were different among a large sector of British media but despite the fact that I find that abhorrent, I think Mr Cameron is doing the right thing.
After all, it was the media as a whole which exposed this story in the first place; British law clearly has plenty of devices to bring the perpetrators of these foul deeds to justice as the plethora of criminal and civil cases under way shows. A new statutory body to monitor British media won't mean better news coverage, just less.
Good journalism often requires determination to persevere in the belief that the story you are seeking to uncover is of real and genuine interest to the public, even when your colleagues, bosses and those in power say you are wrong. Brave journalism needs to be given the freedom to thrive rather than frightened into submission by any code or law that mistakenly tries to control it.
