Today is Thursday, June 05, 2025
Today in 1967 the 6-Day War began in the Middle East and today in 1975 the Suez Canal reopened after 8 years.

A definition of insanity: to continue the same behaviour and yet expect different results.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

Our new flag

 

Yesterday NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet revealed that a $25 million contract had been awarded to install an Aboriginal flag on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

"While we were pleased with the overall public response, we were not prepared for the backlash over the costs involved. In the interests of transparency, we now release the line-by-line costings", he said.

And he added, "Please note that this quote does not yet include the installation of the flag or the pole, which will be quoted separately."
