Natasha, Brian and their 4 children, the twins Katie and Kyle who are 13, Becky 15 and Harriet 8 years migrated to Perth in June 2004. They have just celebrated their 1st anniversary of living in Perth.
Brian had the Aussie connection with an Auntie in Adelaide, a cousin in Brisbane and his best friend Jimmy in Perth. Natasha told me that they had had a taste of some of the major cities in Australia and that they finally chose Perth over Brisbane because of the climate (Brisbane had a tendency to get humid), the property prices, which, are more affordable in Perth meant they could afford to have a two storey home close to the beach with spectacular sea views.
Sea Views from the Natasha & Brians Retreat
In fact it was the dream of a bigger home and the Perth lifestyle that led to thr decision to imigrate to Perth. They lived near Heathrow in the UK and both Natasha and Brian had jobs they enjoyed and that allowed a comfortable standard of living in the UK. This said with four children growing up fast, the family home in West Drayton was just not big enough. To move to a new home big enough for them all would have left them watching every penny. They had been holidaying in Australia for a number of years and so they decided that they would look into making a move over too the country and the lifestyle they knew they would enjoy.
Becky, Kyle, Katie and Harriet
It was Brian who applied for the Permanent Resident Visa (BQ Resident Sub Class 139) He was sponsored by his Auntie in Adelaide and his cousin was their assuror (Brian & Natasha provided his cousin with the necessary funds, which was $5000 to stay in a nominated account for 2 years from entry to Australia). They applied for their Visa in September 1999 and had a 3 year wait until they had their Visa approved in May 2003.
That is one of the longest waits I have heard of. Brian applied under the trade of a Pastry Chef, a trade he entered after leaving school. Sure he had done all the qualifications at college and worked as a Pastry chef for Air Canada's in-flight catering before leaving the trade to continue with Air Canada as a Baggage Handler.
Because Brian was applying for a sponsored migrant visa he did not need to meet the point system (although they would have accumulated enough points) but in order to get his Australian visa Brian did need to have worked as a Pastry Chef for 6 months prior to submitting his application. So on top of his full time job working for Air Canada at Heathrow airport he also moonlighted at Sainsbury's as a Pastry Chef. The hard work did the trick though and as soon as his trade had been assessed and accepted he was able to concentrate on his full time job until the time arrived to leave the UK behind.
Natasha and Brian chose not to use a Migrant Agent, instead they did it all themselves.
Natasha said that they had been told that agencies sit on applications right until the last minute and it would have been quicker for them to do it themselves. Unfortunately it was Sydney Olympics that delayed their application. The Olympics led to a vast amount of applications being received, which, were then prioritized with IT and communication being the first in line. Finally after a long wait they received their Visa in May 2003.
When they moved to Australia they couldn't leave their pet dog Fizz behind so they contacted relocation service for assistance bringing Fizz with them. Natasha told me she found them very helpful.
Now the initial intention was to make their way over to Perth in Sept 2003. Like all good plans it got delayed and instead they found themselves coming over to Perth in February 2004 to get their Visa stamped.
It was during this holiday that they stayed at the Mindarie Keys resort in Mindare, an area that Natasha fell in love with. She especially fell in love with a particular house that they looked round. It was close to the beach and had sea views from the kitchen and second floor. At the time they had yet to sell their home in the UK so they made no attempt to buy a property.
Pool Room
Within a month of arriving back from Perth to the UK they were fortunate enough to sell there home and eager to rent or buy a place in Mindare, Perth (the place they had decided they wanted to live). Natasha wanted to minimise any disruption to the children's education so buying was the best option. Anyway she contacted the agent that had been selling the house she fell in love with to be told that the sale had fell though and it was back on the market. This was just fantastic news for the family and Natasha got straight ahead organizing a mortgage. Yes that's true you can get a mortgage while you are still in the UK, it was something I learned about once I had arrived here so it was a little to late.
It was all go following the sale of the house in the UK, but for being taken for a ride by the removal company (Crown Relocations, who charged her for a 20ft container giving her the impression they had filled it to bursting point only to find on delivery to our house in Perth that is was only half full. We disputed this with Crown, purely because we would rather have filled the container and paid slightly more, than leaving a lot of things in the Uk, giving things to friends and family and bringing a container half full. I have spoken to many people who have had containers shipped over and they have had the container delivered directly to their house to fill so you can see how empty of full it is, with us we were all packed up and the items were taken in a lorry to be put in the container at Crowns warehouse. Otherwise, their journey over to Aussie land was sweet.
Natasha, Brian the children arrived in Perth in June 2004 and spent the first week with Brian's best mate Jimmy before they moved into their Mindarie home. Once in, the priority was sorting out the schools for the children which, living where they are were private schools. Public schools are available close by but they don't have the best of reputation. One thing worth noting here is that you are paying a lot less to go to a private school in Perth than you would in the UK. It is something that could well be within your reach.
A kitchen to dream of
The one drawback moving from a UK to a Perth school is that you are a year behind in the school year (although this can be seen as an advantage at times as it gives the children chance to settle in). It has been known for children to start in the year above their age when moving from the UK so it is worth asking the question if you have a bright child that you don't want to have to repeat a year. The schools do teach the same stuff over here although the teaching methods differ from the UK.
Finding work has been no problem for Natasha or Brian although they have both been a little disappointed in the wages over here. Natasha told me that having holidayed over in Australia for the past seven years they have been used to spending the English wages, which with a favorable exchange rate goes a long way. Wages in Perth are not as good and although the cost of living is more in line to the Aussie wage it does not buy as much as the pound does. Its true I have noticed the same to but then there is no way I would have had a home in the UK like I can afford in Perth and the outdoor lifestyle means you do not need to spend as much anyway.
I mean how often would you get the opportunity to your spare time down playing sport or at the surf club in the UK? Natasha and her family have a very active outdoor lifestyle with Becky and Katie playing in a netball team (Natasha coaches) and Harriet playing soccer (that's the name for English football over here).
When I asked Natasha about leaving the family behind she told me it was difficult, although the fact that her mum had moved to live in Spain a few years before had made it a little easier. In fact if they ever leave Perth then it would be to move to be near her mum in Spain. Not that that is on the cards.
After being here for a year they are now beginning to feel settled and could not even begin to imagine living back in the UK again.
The other thing that Natasha did ask me to share with you was if you buy a car when you move over here be careful if they try to offer you finance. In Perth once you sign that form you are tied in to the deal. This caught her out, she signed a form believing they would not get the finance. However, you can get loans if you are a new migrant it is just that they charge a high interest payment. Natasha managed to move her finance from the Company the garage where she got the car saving about 4% on the APR but there was no way she could get out of the deal when buying it. So if you apply for finance to buy a car be sure you want it.
The car business all said and done Natasha's parting words on moving to Perth where very difficult to begin with, you feel like you have jumped back 15 years, trying to be strong for the children, but it is well worth it in the end, you just need to ride out the bad because it does get better, and enjoy the fantastic lifestyle, beaches, house and outdoor way of life as best you can, which is not hard considering we have 9 months of fantastic weather, and the other 3 months aren't so bad either.

The first State of School Feeding Worldwide report was recently launched by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), providing for the first time a global picture and analysis of school feeding programmes in well-off countries as well as in developing nations, and data on how governments use school meals as a "safety net" in times of crisis.
According to the research, around 368 million children, about 1 out of every 5, get a meal at school every day in 169 developing and developed countries. Global investment in these programmes is of the order of US$ 75 billion, with most coming from government budgets. "School feeding assures that where quality education is available children are able to take advantage of the opportunity to learn" said the Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme, Ertharin Cousin.
"It's an investment that pays off in the future with better educated, stronger and healthier adults and also a critical safety net to prevent the most vulnerable from suffering in times of crisis".
In the past five years, at least 38 countries have scaled-up their school feeding programme in in response to a crisis, be it related to food prices, conflict, natural disaster or financial volatility. "During the food and fuel crises in 2008 many governments struggled to protect the most vulnerable from hunger and looked to school meals to achieve that. In the current recession even wealthy nations are examining how school meals can prevent families sliding deeper into poverty and hunger," said State of School Feeding Worldwide lead author Carmen Burbano.
School feeding provides an array of benefits in terms of education, nutrition, income transfer and local agricultural production. For every $1 spent by governments and donors WFP estimates that at least $3 is gained in economic returns, according to the report. WFP has been operating school meals programmes in developing countries for about half a century.
In 2012, WFP provided meals or nutritious snacks in school for 24.7 million children in 63 countries, including take home rations for 1.3 million girls and 500,000 boys – providing an incentive for poor families to keep their children in class, rather than pull them out to work in the fields in the factories or in the home. WFP supports national governments to improve their capacities to implement quality, sustainable school feeding programmes – allowing a transition from WFP-run programmes to national owned and operated school meals programmes.
The State of School Feeding Worldwide was launched at the largest annual meeting of school feeding experts, co-hosted by the Global Child Nutrition Foundation and WFP's Centre of Excellence Against Hunger in Brazil.

The November 4 killing of three women and six children from a breakaway Mormon community with dual US-Mexican nationality, caused shock on both sides of the border, and increased pressure on Lopez Obrador's government to show it is acting against brutal violence by drug cartels.
"They presented the progress they're making in the investigation and the cooperation between Mexico and the United States on the case," one relative who attended the closed-door meeting, Lenzo Widmar, told AFP.
"It made us feel reassured that an in-depth investigation is being carried out."
The victims were killed in a hail of bullets on a rural road between the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, a lawless region known for turf wars between drug cartels fighting over lucrative trafficking routes to the United States.
Eight children managed to escape, six of them wounded. One 13-year-old boy helped the younger ones hide, then walked 22 kilometers (14 miles) home to get help.
Mexican authorities, who are cooperating with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the case, say the attack was carried out by the La Linea drug cartel.
Investigators say they believe the cartel mistook the families for members of a rival gang. But some relatives have rejected that theory, saying they believe they were deliberately targeted.
In the wake of the killings, President Donald Trump urged Mexico to wage "war" on its drug cartels with US help. He later vowed to add Mexican cartels to the US blacklist of terrorist organizations, a proposal Lopez Obrador rejected, saying "cooperation yes, interventionism no."
Lopez Obrador's meeting with victims' relatives came a day after prosecutors announced they had arrested "several individuals" over the case, without giving further details.
Widmar said the authorities had scheduled a follow-up meeting in one month's time.
"We want to know who did it — the ones who did it and the ones who gave the order — and why the order was given to commit such an atrocity," he said.

Who got that wild hair?!
Mister has been talking about taking down the monstrosity of a satellite dish that has been on the house since before he bought it. It's never used, and it really needed to be removed. He disappears after lunch and the next thing I know, he's on a ladder getting ready to take it down! Good grief!!
He knows I don't like for him to be up there without me… Not for any other reason than to be available to call 911 in case he falls off the roof. Nice, supportive wife, huh?! I also tend to be rather handy in the "can you get me this tool" department. I was doing great until he said the dreaded words…
"I think I'm gonna need you up here."
Ummm… you do? For really-reals?! Mister knows I will do anything and everything in my power to help him. Even if that means swallowing my
fear terror of heights and ladders. I got up there, and even took a picture as proof that I made it up there safely. I blinked back my big old cry-baby tears (thank goodness my sunglasses were on), and white-knuckled it. Until he had to get down off of the roof and go get a tool. Then the tears snuck out and all of a sudden my eyes were leaking all over the place. He came back and said I'd actually be more help down on the ground which was a HUGE relief. It also immediately brought me to my next hurdle. Getting OFF of the roof.
Poor Mister felt bad that I even got up there, and I felt horrible that I was absolutely NO help. Rather, more like a burden because he had to deal with a terrified woman on the roof. We ended up safely removing the monstrosity, and he didn't fall off doing it either. When all was said and done, Mister says…
"So who got that wild hair up their butt?!"
Not me, that's for sure!!
Surviving my dash…

The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently published a report on the future of financial infrastructure looking at how blockchain could reshape financial services.
Noting that 80% of banks are predicted to initiate blockchain / distributed ledger technology (DLT) projects by 2017, the report identifies DLT as one of a number of emerging technologies which include biometrics, cloud computing, cognitive computing, predictive analytics and robotics that will shape the future of financial services infrastructure.
According to the report the impact of blockchain will vary according to the particular use case, for example:
- Global payments: enabling near real-time point to point transfers of funds between financial institutions, reducing settlement times.
- Trade finance: enabling real-time multi-party tracking and management of letters of credit for faster automated settlement.
- Compliance: automating compliance processes which draw on immutable data sources where transaction records cannot be altered for faster and more accurate reporting.
- Digital identity: a fully digital system for storing and transferring identity attributes which could be directly integrated into financial infrastructure, for much faster and more accurate customer identification and counterparty matching.
- Digital fiat currencies: providing settlement to liquid, cash-equivalent tokens issued by central banks, eliminating the need for an inefficient linkage between cash and new financial infrastructure.
The report looks at a number of use cases and highlights the significant changes that could be made to current processes through the application of blockchain and the resulting benefits. Taking global payments as an example, trust between the sender of a payment and the bank or money transfer provider could be established via a digital identity profile. The obligation to transfer funds between sender and beneficiary could be captured in a 'smart contract', a computerised transaction protocol that forms the terms of a contract by reference to business rules codified on the blockchain. Through smart contracts, foreign exchange could be sourced from participants willing to facilitate the conversion of fiat currencies. Funds would be transferred in real time with minimal fees without the need for a correspondent bank. The beneficiary's identity could be verified using a digital identity profile. A regulator could monitor transactions in real time and receive specific AML alerts and at any time review transaction histories stored on the ledger.
As an early stage, real-world example, Circle recently launched in the UK a free app allowing cross-currency transactions between US dollars and pounds sterling, using Bitcoin as an underlying currency. When a sender wishes to send a payment, the service charges the sender's bank card, buys Bitcoins, sends them to the recipient's account and makes the reverse exchange. There are no fees for the service. Customers hold their money in national currencies, using Bitcoins for such a short period of time that there is a low risk of being exposed to volatility in the cryptocurrency's price. Circle has announced that it plans to extend this service to Euro-zone customers.
There have been regular press reports of major financial institutions taking an interest in blockchain. Recent announcements have included: UBS partnering with Deutsche Bank, Santander, BNY Mellon and the broker ICAP to develop a new form of digital cash which they hope will become an industry standard to clear and settle financial trades over blockchain, aiming for a commercial launch by early 2018; and Visa collaborating with digital payments start-up BTL Group to adapt its technology for processing interbank payments across multiple currencies with the aim of reducing costs, speeding up settlement times and reducing credit risk.
The WEF report highlights the potential for blockchain to achieve significant benefits over current processes. In the case of global payments for example, it could result in reduced costs and settlement times and more efficient KYC, AML and compliance processes. However, for these benefits to be realised, there are a number of major issues to be resolved such as:
- consensus on the type of DLT platform across a significant number of financial institutions to facilitate economies of scale;
- adopting common KYC processes used by banks and money transfer operators across different regulatory frameworks;
- clarification of an uncertain regulatory environment;
- creating a legal framework so that the rights and obligations recorded in the blockchain can be accepted as binding without the need for legacy solutions to be maintained in parallel; and
- managing the volatility of cryptocurrencies.
By some estimates, it will be three to five years before blockchain is adopted at scale. Significant issues still to be resolved before blockchain can be applied more widely include:
- security issues such as ensuring that distributed ledgers are secure and safeguarded against errors, building rules to prevent malicious behaviour, performing thorough end-to-end testing, verifying all code and having in place stringent IT controls to detect potential gaps in security;
- implementing new regulatory frameworks (US regulators recently cited concerns about distributed ledger systems, including possible operational vulnerabilities not becoming apparent until the systems were deployed at scale and possible vulnerability to fraud executed through collusion among a significant fraction of participants); and
- putting in place new liability frameworks (where liability and jurisdictional issues are not expressly dealt with by traditional legal agreements or smart contracts, it remains unclear which party will have to take responsibility when things go wrong).

It is tempting to think Shankar and Rajini are made for each other. Rajinikanth thrives on the formula where an honest rich man is duped, becomes poor and later fights his way back to richness and glory. The simple message being 'Good Triumphs'. Shankar thrives on revenge stories, where a common man is harmed by the evils of society, becomes poor/loses something, and uses unconventional methods to teach values and fights his way back to glory (Gentleman, Indian, Anniyan and to some extent Mudhalvan). The simple message being - 'Honesty is the best policy'. Sivaji is a perfect marriage of these two formulas. Does it work though? Shankar in the past has shown tremendous depth in story telling and details. But he is not subtle a'la Manirathnam. His logic is sketchy and over-the-top. He is more raw. But still makes purists happy. So when Rajini and Shankar combine, Shankar could have gone for story depth and made purists happy. Shankar could have gone for style and made Rajini Fans happy. Or better he could have gone for the jugular by trying to do both and make everybody happy. Usually when someone tries to go for the third alternative they unknowingly open up a fourth - which is get stuck in the middle and go nowhere. Sivaji is a movie where shankar's and Rajini's negative aspects add instead of subtracting each other. Shankar wants to have some depth in story line, but then remembers that this is a Rajini movie, so he tries to keep it simple and starves the story. So we get an emaciated story that is too weak for Rajini to carry on his head. However, for a Shankar movie - the twins - story and masala are like belt and suspenders. When the story fails, masala delivers and vice versa. In Sivaji, the masala delivers.
Shankar usually builds a movie like a chemical potion. It's a carefully built formula with preset ingredients. There is a social message, good songs with creative picturization, comedy, technology gimmicks, surprising twists, creative story line, unusual characters, interesting details, revenge sub-plot, and violence. He lines them up in perfect proportions and scales all these things up with 'brahmandam'. Money is lavishly spent to bloat up each ingredient to enormous proportions. So that if one fails the other ingredient can somehow help the movie. Jeans is a good example of a Shankar movie which had several main ingredients (like story etc) that were dead on arrival and some that were at best unusual. But the formula helped the movie cross the 'pass' mark. Boys didn't have even those 'helper' entities. Whereas in Gentleman, Indian, Kadhalan, and Mudhalvan almost every ingredient worked. Sivaji is neither here nor there. If not for Shankar's broad and all-encompassing formula with a lot of masala buttressing to protect the movie from failure, this movie would have been a sure goner. Basically - Shankar's plan A, which is the main story/content, failed and his spare bag of tricks in the form of Plan B helped this movie work to some extent. You could also say that Rajini's plan A worked and plan B didn't. Sivaji is better than Baba, which is not saying much. Overall, I felt it was a better movie than Chandramukhi. But I doubt if it has the X-factor that Chandramukhi had.
The story/depth part is the weakest in Sivaji. Sivaji is a returning NRI with intentions of providing free education and medical facilities for the poor. He does not explain how that business model will work but says he has shit load of money that can pay the medical bills of everybody. He faces opposition in the form of bribe-seeking government officials and influential competitors. Reduced from riches to rags, how he achieves his goal forms the rest of the movie. Shreya, an extremely hot (red red hot) babe is his love interest. Typical of Rajini heroines, she is 'pothikinu' dressed during the movie and 'avuthikinu' dressed in the songs. Shankar has just one trick in the story department. Sivaji's idea to convert black money to white money. That is it. Everything else - what the Sivaji foundation does, how it helps people, his growth, his nature of help towards the poor is all fluffed up. Not explained. No time is spent on the meat part. You are basically told - 'sivaji does something good - don't bother with the details - just know that he did some good and people like him now. ok bye'.
The logical/ common sense elements in this movie will not pass the scrutiny of even a complete Rajini fanatic. It is all right to say that one should not expect logic in a Rajini movie. But at least something should make sense. Firstly, NRIs who are senior software architects will not be worth 200 crores. It's inconceivable. Secondly, meeting Suman, ministers, government officials etc is not so easily possible for common man turned rich NRI. Thirdly, the ministers/political people in this movie are vague. Suman ridiculously changes the ministry by snapping his fingers. We do not know if any one of the caricatured ministers who appear in this movie is a Chief Minister or not. Fourth, the love segment with Shreya is complete nonsense. That part is so over the top that it's not even worth spending time criticizing. Finally, Sivaji drags people (auditors, drivers, Thalsildars) into his 'office', beats them, stabs ministers and stitches them up instantly. This is clearly nonsense and could have been done better. But I have questions. For what purpose? How is he not challenged by other rowdy elements, government, CBI, police etc? All these things basically add up and say - there is no real story but just a semblance of it. The 'social' aspect is there as a puppet with no real impact. Shankar is usually very good in showcasing the exact nature of social evils. Be it corruption, capitation fee, money laundering - he picks a department and shows in great detail, the effects of it on a common man. The plight of public suffering is well brought out. The small, small details that Shankar provides are usually very interesting and engaging. So even if Shankar leaves gaping holes in logic, which he usually does, it is covered by his excellence in other departments. Here things are kept at such a superficial level that you don't connect with the movie at all. The CPR revival is a glaring example.
Is there any redeeming aspect to this movie? Shankar has essentially assembled an A list technical team of Indian cinema. K.V.Anand, Anthony, and Rahman are pretty much the best in the business. They help. All the teeny weenie bits of masala items that Shankar adds as just-in-case works. Vivek's comedy is funny. The punch lines are awesome. The part where Rajini whitens himself is 'asattu thanam' and unnecessary but comedy for the most part is very good. There are some very good surprise elements too in this department, which was delightful. Songs & Picturization. I did not like the introduction SPB song. The video made it slightly bearable (but not pictured as well as its Shankar counterparts 'Andan Kaakha' or 'Aazhagaana Rakshasi' ). 'Oru Koodai Sunlight' is an excellent song, the best song in Sivaji, well picturized but in a poor context. The blonde hair looks ridiculous. I was hoping they wouldn't use it on 'oru koodai sunlight' and spoil it. They did. 'Sivaji' 'Athiradi' and 'Saahara' songs are actually well picturized. Special mention needs to be made on 'Athiradi' song. Its mind blowing. This song alone is worth the price of the entry ticket. I can't think of a Rajini or a Shankar song that has a better picturization than this. The stunt scenes have been choreographed very well. Some of them are really impressive. The bullet-time sequences have been done with a touch of style and class. However, in a lot of sequences they are speeded up or jazzed up by some flashy camera work to cover for Rajini's age. The climax scene is the only exception. When those trademark zoom-ins and zoom outs happen, which don't until well into the second half, you know editor Anthony is saying 'hi'. This fellow is very impressive.
The man, The Style and The Phenomena: It would be unfair if I did not talk about the way Rajini and his style carried this movie single handedly. In all honesty Shankar failed in his department but did the 'Rajini' aspect some justice. The stylized way in which Rajini pops in a bubble gum, the way he moves the 1 Rupee coin is all pure class. Only Rajini can do this. It's fun to watch also. Somehow the heart warms up to Rajini. You feel for him, when shreya spurns him. 'Charm' is an underrated word. Especially when the Rajini charm works on you like magic. The 'mottai' boss morpheus-look-alike aspect is the biggest surprise and the highest point of the movie. When he appears with the side-wards looking pose, the theater erupted like a volcano. Shankar knows how to mesmerize the audience and this one is an ace from his sleeve that just rocks. Every movement the hyperactive mottai-boss 'puratchi thalaivar' does receives thundering appluase. Thats an example of surprise and creativity. If only shankar had shown such imagination everywhere. If not for that segment, I would have left the theater completely let down. Just watch this movie for 'rajini style' and you'll know what I am talking about. While Rahman has adequately changed the 'super star' title segment (the applause is thundering), the actual introduction scene of Rajinikanth is a letdown. A risk, which if it works is awesome. In this case it is a costly mistake. Sivaji starts on an unconventional and deflated note. Usually a good rajini movie hits a high note and keeps going to higher places without letting up. This movie stumbles, stops and hiccups its way to the interval. You can usually say when something is amiss. The small parts look okay individually but there is no overall cohesion. While I couldn't put a finger to it, I could sense that whatever this movie was doing - a formulaic once-every-3-minute round robin switch to Sivaji's social work, suman, rajini-shreya love, rajini vivek comedy - it was not gelling well. The pace was all right and it was hitting some formula but it was not engaging. The movie improved dramatically in the second half. To me the second half was much better than the first. However, Shankar shows no intention of getting into details. Instead he chooses to spend time on stupid truck-jeep based fight scenes in a drive-in theater.
There were many points in the movie where I felt 'wow' and many other points where I felt 'what could have been'. After the watching for the second time, I highly recommend that people should go and watch it at least once. Its got something for non-rajini fans. Every moment is individually thrilling. However, I wish Rajini had accepted the Mudhalvan script. It had a story. Keeping Sivaji's story under-cover must have been easy for Shankar. It has no story.

South Australia's Kirsty Boden is being posthumously awarded one of the highest honours in the nursing profession for her bravery and sacrifice in the London Bridge terrorist attack.
Boden was killed in the attack carried out by terrorists inspired by Islamic State on the night of June 3, 2017, and became known as "the angel of London Bridge" in its aftermath.
She has been posthumously honoured with a Florence Nightingale Medal — which is considered one of the highest international distinctions a nurse can receive.
The 28-year-old nurse from Loxton in South Australia's Riverland, was fatally stabbed while she was helping others during the attack two years ago.
Eight people died in the attack and an inquest is underway.
The Red Cross awards also recognised three Australian nurses who have worked in disaster zones across Africa and the Middle East — Denise Moyle, Yvonne Ginifer and Cristina de Leon.
International director at Australian Red Cross Peter Walton said the medal showcased exceptional courage and dedication to victims.
"Our Australian Red Cross nurses have played an important role in responding to some of the world's most challenging armed conflicts and disasters over more than a hundred years," he said.
"From Sudan to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, they have helped children survive horrific injuries in wars and earthquakes, cared for patients suffering with Ebola and cholera, saving countless lives with education on hygiene and disease prevention."
Mr Walton said Boden was a worthy recipient of the medal and it acknowledged her "incredible passion and courage".
"Whilst I didn't know Kirsty myself, it was very clear she was awarded the medal because of her dedication for caring to other people," he said.
Victorian Senator Bridget McKenzie will become the first woman to serve as Agriculture Minister when she is sworn in with the new Cabinet on Wednesday.
And the Deputy Nationals leader said an immediate focus was the drought.
She said that as a person of faith, she did pray for rain like Nationals leader Michael McCormack but also, like Mr McCormack, she believed in practical responses.
"Whilst I personally pray for rain, I think as Minister for Agriculture, working closely with David Littleproud as minister responsible for the drought taskforce, I believe in getting practical responses on the ground to those farmers doing it tough at the moment," she said.
"One of many policies, I will always pray for rain, I pray for lots of things. I think people should pray more, it's a good thing to pray," Mr McCormack said.
"The fact is, we've got to do more than pray. We've got to put in the right policies, we've got to be practical and pragmatic about it and that's what we're doing … we're keeping a watchful eye on it."
Prime Minister Scott Morrison's decision to give Senator McKenzie the agriculture portfolio comes at the expense of Queensland Nationals MP David Littleproud, who has held the job for 16 months.
"The deputy leader of the National Party wanted agriculture and when you're the deputy leader you get to pick, that is only fair, and I know Bridget will do a good job," Mr Littleproud said.
Mr Littleproud remains in Cabinet as Minister for Water Resources, Drought, Rural Finance, Natural Disaster and Emergency Management.
US President Donald Trump has credited economic sanctions for curbing Iranian aggression in the region, and says a deal on its nuclear program is possible.
Mr Trump was reported as saying at a news conference in Japan that he believed Iran would like to make a deal, "and I think that's very smart of them, and I think that's a possibility to happen".
"It has a chance to be a great country with the same leadership," Trump said. "We aren't looking for regime change – I just want to make that clear. We are looking for no nuclear weapons."
In Tehran, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons, which its supreme leader had banned in an edict.
Zarif added on Twitter that US policies were hurting the Iranian people and causing regional tensions.
"Actions–not words–will show whether or not that's @realDonaldTrump's intent," Zarif said.
President Hassan Rouhani said in October the US was seeking "regime change" in Iran, adding that the current US administration was the most hostile that the Islamic Republic had faced in its four decades.
Tensions have risen between Iran and the US after this month's attack on oil tankers in the Gulf region.
Washington, a firm backer of Tehran's regional rival Saudi Arabia, has blamed the attacks on Iran, which denies the accusations.

Only certain providers offer broadband on its own, if you are not getting a fibre optic connection you will often pay line rental.
Enter your postcode to compare Broadband without line rental deals
For the most part, broadband will be sold along with phone line rental. This is because, for the most part, your broadband and phone will use the same physical (phone) line to work. As such, getting the two services together is a pretty sensible idea, both in terms of convenience and cost - if you're going to need the line to connect your broadband anyway, you may as well take the phone since it's often bundled in at little to no extra cost. However nowadays, with people relying more and more on mobiles to make their calls rather than using a landline, there's more of a call for broadband only packages.
There are only a couple of providers offering broadband only packages at the moment, the biggest being Virgin Media who offer cable broadband, rather than conventional DSL broadband. In order to get Virgin's cable broadband you'll need to live in an area with cable connection - which is currently around 50% of the country. Others, including smaller supplier Relish, offer mobile broadband, which also doesn't require a phone line.
The majority of providers will make you pay for their line rental if you want one of their broadband packages. But, there are a few providers who will allow you to get your line rental from a different provider.
By doing this, you can get your broadband from one company, and then get a cheaper line rental service from someone else. In theory, it will help you save a lot of money on your line rental throughout the course of your broadband contract. It's a great idea for people with a current phone deal that they're comfortable with, but want to switch to a different broadband provider. Or, it's great if you've shopped around and found a cheaper line rental deal somewhere else.
Perhaps the best example of a provider that allows you to get your line rental elsewhere is Plusnet. They give you the chance to choose one of their broadband deals and get your line rental from a different provider. There is a catch, as they're a BT owned company, you have to get your line rental from another BT based landline provider. Additionally, the price of the broadband from Plusnet will rise if you don't get your line rental from them. So, you must find the best line rental deal around for this to work out cheaper and be worth the extra effort.
Those of you with phones connected to a 4G network will testify that the speeds are pretty quick. You can easily stream HD music and video, as well as make some quick downloads too. Over the last few years, it's got better and better, to the point where some people entertain the idea that it can compete with home broadband.
At the moment, it's not quite up to home broadband standard just yet. The problem with 4G is that you rely on the coverage areas. If you're not in an area that gets 4G coverage, you'll be restricted to the much slower 3G network instead. While a 4G network has the power to compete with home broadband speeds, a 3G is nowhere near it.
Perhaps the biggest strike against mobile broadband is that every network likes to have data limits. If you're buying a mobile broadband contract, they rarely come with unlimited data - unlike home broadband deals, which almost always come with it. The problem with this is that your data allowance gets restricted, meaning you incur additional fees if you go over it. Sure, some providers do offer unlimited mobile broadband, but it's usually the most expensive package they sell.
So, replacing your home broadband with a mobile one probably isn't the best idea. Even if you live in an area with good 4G coverage, you'll use up loads of data and be forced into paying loads of money for an unlimited data package.
Bundling as many services together can end up making things more affordable, and save you lots of money. Now, you might not like the idea of paying for line rental, particularly if you rarely use your landline. However, add line rental to package including broadband and TV, and the savings are quite substantial. Or, if you're choosing Virgin Media as your broadband provider, throw in your mobile phone services to create the ultimate money-saving bundle.

The Game of 49: Three in a Row, Go for One More
As an 80's kid, my earliest board game memories are of Milton Bradley games. Or more accurately, Milton Bradley commercials. You could explain the entire rulebook in thirty seconds, like in this little humdinger of advertising finery. The games were simple, and, once you reached the age of 10, simply boring. But like Pasta Night or Taco Tuesday, they still» Read more

The introduction of Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) technology in Dubai has been instrumental in significantly reducing accidents and increasing safety. The Middle East is expanding so rapidly that roads are congested almost as soon as they open up. The FALCON project is a massive state-of-the-art ITS project addressing the Emirate's ever-increasing traffic volume while providing improved road safety. Optelecom-NKF is working with Scientechnic, the local system integrator in Dubai, to incorporate Siqura® IP switches into the FALCON ITS architecture to connect all IP-based data streams within the network.
Scientechnic's Brijesh Moothat quotes, "The Siqura switches fit seamlessly into our entire project and the local support from Optelecom-NKF provided a key resource in designing this architecture. The XSNet 2800 SW switch was chosen due to its capability of performing in a high operating temperature. The Gulf countries, being one of the hottest places during summer, require all field equipment to endure an extended temperature range. XSNet switches have an operating temperature of up to 75° C, which make them suitable for operation in the Middle East."
Siqura offers a broad range of products and solutions for the ITS market, all based on IP technology. The choice of IP in this type of project allows the system to manage and control multiple field devices (e.g., DMS, lane/speed controls, detectors, traffic signals, etc.). The system also must communicate in real-time with the existing arterial signal system and other management systems such as the police, drawbridges, tunnels, and many others. IP technology from Siqura allows for this real-time integration and also enables intelligent software to be integration.

Greens propose a way forward on health reform
Australian Greens health spokesperson and former GP, Dr Richard Di Natale, today proposed a new way forward in health reform that doesn't target patients.
"The Greens will stand firmly against any health reforms that reduce access or fairness, but there is another way forward," said Senator Di Natale.
"We have an excellent health system in Australia and while there is no evidence that spending is spiralling out of control, the Greens always believe in preparing for long term challenges and following evidence-based policy.
"The Greens propose establishing an Australian Institute of Clinical Excellence (AICE), led by the medical profession and consumer groups, to identify areas of wasteful expenditure in health.
"The Institute would identify high priority areas for health technology assessment and list the ineffective and low-value items of MBS and PBS expenditure to be removed, replaced or curbed.
"It would also identify priority areas where health practice has changed so dramatically that current Medicare rebates no longer represent the true value of providing that service.
"The Health Department has itself indicated up to $15 billion of waste in the health system and the Greens believe that this is the area that must be targeted, rather than trying to shift costs onto patients.
"There are many other areas of health reform that the Greens could propose but we are putting this constructive proposal forward now because the Health Minister's comments suggest this might be an area of common ground."

Portland State leads wire-to-wire in win over Eastern Washington
UPDATED: Sat., Feb. 3, 2018
PORTLAND – Holland Woods scored a career-high 29 points on a school-record 10-for-10 shooting and Portland State defeated Eastern Washington 94-81 in a Big Sky men's basketball game Saturday afternoon.
Cody Benzel hit seven 3-pointers and scored 21 points for Eastern Washington (12-12, 7-4). Bogdan Bliznyuk, coming off a 40-point game, had 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
Portland State, which scored the first six points and never trailed, led 39-32 at halftime. The Vikings held a double-digit lead for most of the second half until EWU drew within 73-66 on a layup by Benas Griciunas with 5:14 remaining. Portland State quickly extended the lead back to double digits and was not threatened again.
"I haven't said it too many times this season that our energy wasn't where it needed to be," Eagles coach Shantay Legans said. "We didn't play the way we should have been playing. It's tough. We just didn't execute what we wanted to do."
Traylin Farris and Deante Strickland each added 13 points for the Vikings (14-9, 4-6 Big Sky Conference), who ended a three-game losing skid and stopped the Eagles' three-game winning streak. Brandon Hollins and Michael Mayhew scored 12 apiece.
Portland State shot 53 percent in the first half to take a 39-32 lead and then made 6 of 12 3-pointers, 20 of 32 shots overall (62.5 percent) in the second half to avenge an 81-74 loss in the first meeting.

One of our jobs as a wedding photographer is to thread together the various strands that make up the happy couples world. These "strands" can be as varied as the couple themselves – this is the photo journal of one couple Alex and Christi and how we pulled together these strands for them:
- Both came from a farming community in Sussex County, NJ
- The groom's father was an avid car collector
- The ceremony was at the First Presbyterian Church in Newton
- The reception was at Lake Mohawk Country Club in Sparta
First we did some scene setting shots at the farm featuring the barns and Alex's dad's rosy red 1972 Chevelle SS.
The couple both got ready for the wedding at the farm in Sussex County and we did their "first look" photos by one of the barns. It was an easy extension for us to take some group and family photos on the farm and around the barns.
Alex drove the Chevelle to First Presbyterian where we were able to capture the ceremony from a number of different angles within the church. Capturing the splendor of the church within the context of the marriage ceremony is one of the aspects that we as wedding photographers enjoy the most.
The reception was held at the Lake Mohawk Country Club in Sparta. Lake Mohawk is one of our favorite venues (see our Wedding Venues for every kind of couple post) combining history, glamor and a great location. Lake Mohawk offers us the opportunity to take great indoor photographs plus dramatic outdoor shots on their famous boardwalk.
We really enjoyed working with Alex and Christi and we really think that their joy and happiness shines through from the photographs we took on their special day.
You probably have your own set of elements (or strands) that you want to include in your wedding portfolio – if you need help in figuring out how to bring them all together then give Craig Collins Photography a call today at 973-335-1505 or complete the contact form here.

How To Play The Race Card Effectively
Only in a manipulated Rovian world where the compulsory official language is Luntz-speak, could the closeted chairman of the Republican National Committee actually seek to peel away Black voters from the Democrats with a one-two sales pitch of 'faith-based' payoffs, while exploiting generational ignorance and intolerance over the gay marriage issue.
So, it is only fitting that the alleged indifference shown by George Bush (based on racial prejudices) in response to Hurricane Katrina, has devastated his standing among Black Americans in the widely reported NBC/WSJ Poll - and should therefore, relegate Ken Mehlman's bold outreach initiative to the Social Security Overhaul dustbin.
Are Bush's approvals among Blacks really at 2% percent? Doubt it. How come? Because, a consistent 8-10% percent of Republican Black voters will feel no empathy or connection to those angry dark faces from the New Orleans' Superdome. Do I think Bush hates Black people? No. But, I've not yet seen convincing evidence that he either cares for or respects the Evangelical Right that got him elected twice, for that matter.
In November 2004, George Bush improved his electoral numbers among Black voters by +2% (11% percent), making his slim margin of victory all that more infuriating to stomach. And, given Ken Mehlman's diabolical plan to raid the Democratic base of black voters (pre-Hurricane Katrina), projecting 14-16% percent turnout for possibly a GOP Presidential nominee Bill Frist in '08 would certainly be attainable.
Yet, if those on the newly embolden Left are serious about beating the Rove Republicans at their own game in the approaching election cycles, they should not shrink from exploiting this pivotal, political 'gift', courtesy of Mother Nature and the incompetence of the Bush administration.
It is possible, to interject race into election battles without succumbing to hysterical Republican talking points charging racism or race baiting. Having abundant evidence at the ready where the GOP has failed minorities or has politically exploited the issue previously, it will come in handy when all they can do is repeat these accusing buzzwords in response, absent a compelling argument as to how they exactly apply in the first place. Exampled by simply utilizing rapper Kayne West's recognized statement of outrage in radio spots on urban stations across the country, the Dems can follow with a substantive case to justify such anger - without resorting to the expected demagoguery.
Speaking as a life-long Chicagoan, the striking similarity between the historic election of Harold Washington as the city's first Black Mayor and the phenomenon that was Barack Obama's candidacy could provide yet another key advantage to the Democrats in 2006. Given, that a racial electoral lock can lead to unfortunate (Marion Barry) and questionable choices (Ray Nagin) by Black voters, I can personally attest that offered experienced, inspiring Black candidates, a proud and energized base will respond in kind. Obama, for example, spent 16 years in the Illinois State legislature honing his reputation as a pragmatic negotiator and mastering the prudent application of public policy. Surely there was no need to labor so intensely to secure elective longevity as his district's State Senator. On the contrary, it must serve as the appropriate preparedness for anyone intent on representing beyond a constituency of shared skin color.
After the election only 11 months ago that further strengthen their control over Congress, it's baffling that the Republican Party is having such difficulty slating potential 2006 Mid-Term candidates. The likes of former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough have taken a pass, obviously none too anxious to defend or explain their party's failed tenure in control of Congress and the White House. So, what the RNC has been left with is the likes of Katherine Harris as an U.S. Senate candidate - but also, Ohio's Secretary Of State Kenneth Blackwell and Maryland's Lt. Governor Michael Steele as the very best the GOP could muster to represent it's commitment to Black Americans. Slating Black candidates of similar credentials as Obama has so far been the norm of DNC recruitment for '06, while Steele has launched his U.S. Senate bid with a 'victimization strategy' over being labeled an 'Uncle Tom', a derogatory insult absolutely, but not a racist epitaph.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Blackwell's central role in the disenfranchisement of thousands of Ohio Black voters last November must be exploited by the DNC far beyond that state's borders. If Tom DeLay's now indicted scheming to deny fair representation to Texas Democrats can be used effectively on a national scale, then the equally convincing evidence against Blackwell and the Ohio GOP must be targeted at the nation's Black electorate.
Finally, anyone who has seen Michael Steele's appearances on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher knows that his meandering bluster is indicative of the classic 'empty suit' politician image he clearly projects. Meaning, he's well suited for the job of Maryland's Lieutenant Governor - a position with no budget oversight or power.
And what's even more significant here, he's currently the highest elected Black Republican in the entire country.
Allowing Rosa Parks' body to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda will not even begin to repair what little trust George Bush never had with a majority of Black voters in this country. And, it will be the unenviable task of candidates Blackwell and Steele to convince that what happened at the New Orleans' Superdome is not symptomatic of a neglectful Republican Party. Unfortunately, the GOP could not have chosen a worse pair of Black candidates to make that case in next year's Mid-Term elections.
One burning question I would eventually liked answer is the real reason former Black Republican Congressman J.C. Watts Jr. abruptly retired a few years ago. Putting aside the salacious speculation, could it be that he discovered the GOP has a 'glass ceiling' of its own? Or, did he finally realize that his party was truly indifferent to a constituency they had all but written off politically?
Watts is the closest the Republican Party has ever come to replicating a prominent and respected Black elected political figure on the scale of a Sen. Barack Obama. My main point here being that the Democratic Party has many more Barack Obamas' in reserve, currently acquiring valuable experience in state houses and municipalities across this country. And by making that stark comparison, I am convinced that a prideful Black electorate will have further reason to vote Democratic once again.
(This is the first in a series of personal posts on race and the coming election cycles. Part Two will deal with the specific message the Democratic Party must bring to the Black community.)Posted by Bert M. Caradine at December 27, 2005 11:44 PM

Safety Management Systems
Southpac provides safety management systems certification services for the following standards:
Accredited Certification
Non-accredited Certification
ISO45001:2018 (Accreditation in progress)
ICAO/CASA Aviation SMS Requirements
ISO45001 outlines the requirements for implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The standard has been designed to help organisations establish and maintain a system of management to improve the welfare, health and safety of employees at the workplace.
The greatest asset in any business is its people. For some industries neglecting OHS can mean loss of life, for others, quality of life. Whatever the risks involved in your industry, identifying and managing risk, promoting a safe workplace and reducing accidents is in the best interest of everyone. An effective Occupational Health and Safety system will result in fewer accidents, greater care within the workplace and an organisation culture that promotes safe and healthy work systems. Employees who know there are systems in place that showcase commitment to their ongoing safety and wellbeing are more motivated, loyal and of greater value to the organisation they work for.
An Occupational Health and Safety System protects your business and the people who work for you by helping you identify and control health and safety risks and reduce the accidents these could cause. The 45001 standard also ensures that your business practices are in compliance with health and safety legal requirements. This framework will assist with the identification and control of Health and Safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents and help ensure compliance with relevant Health and Safety legislation.
ISO45001 has been developed to be compatible with ISO 9001:2015 (Quality) and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems in an Integrated Management System.

Agra, Oct 3 UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Friday evening stressed the need for ecological balance and harmony with nature.
He said that the state and India could progress if all worked in unison with a larger vision.
"India's strength was the unity of all faiths. Mahatma Gandhiji had said we should take from nature what was necessary. Excessive exploitation led to imbalances which could be stopped through mass movements. Changing life styles had led to degradation of environment. We have to be careful about using our natural resources," he said at a musical programme "Ek sur, Ek Taal," by 11,000 students at the Eklavya Stadium here.
He hoped all sections of society will come forward to protect environment.
Akhilesh also presented cheques worth Rs.50,000 each to 16 gymnasts.
