Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

The Restaurant Association has launched a petition calling for subsidies of up to $20 per person for meals served at restaurants, cafes and bars.

This moggy is no bother at all to us, but we were interested to know where they really live! They are in far too good condition to be a stray.

The Earl of Derby by George Saintsbury was borrowed from the Newtown Library in March 1902. Having been found in Sydney, it has finally been returned 118 years later.

Library staff have seen reason, and the penny a day fine - it has been more than 43,000 days since the book was loaned since - has been waived.

Anyone else out there guilty of having library books stashed away in their shelves?
