...my friend's funeral (Herald Sun 12.02.06)

Why I missed my friend’s funeral
Sails up and off they go
Frantic push to go slow
After 60 empty years…
Bike rider hits tree
Howzat for a record?
Boy, man hit by cars
Escapee back behind bars
We love brains, faces, laughs
Staff paid to count smiles, but council says…
Yee-haw! Cowboy style is back in town

...going it alone (The Age 12.02.06)

Why so many Australians are going it alone
first peek at ancient tomb
skull found in bag
intelligence attack
reality TV program ‘humiliates fat people’
fans pay a (high) price
‘we were put in crates, like chickens’
31 days, 25 dead
‘we expect him to die’
the gangster, the politician, and the drug deal
end of the road for sad illegals

News on the move (Australian 11/12.02.06)

News on the move
finding faith after a life of crime
once a bun-fight, now it’s a love-in
french-kissing teens risk disease
kisses for man who may be next to die
now it’s personal
teenagers boasted of murder
face it: teens means store wars
selective outrage
topping up the cost of a pizza box
undrinkable drop costs $130,000
