(West) Australian retail is changing. International retailers are setting up shop – namely, Spanish giant ZARA, and British icon Topshop.
And everything in between: Hallo-winning – how to do Halloween on a budget
So last night I put on a Halloween party for 30-40 people for less than $300.
If you’re creative, you can do it for much less!!

My Two Cents: meeting the Hon. Stephen Smith
On Tuesday 30th of September, former Foreign, Trade and Defence Minister Stephen Smith spoke at the monthly branch meeting of the Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA. His speaking topic was “Continuity in Australian Foreign Policy”.
But what is “continuity in Australian Foreign Policy”? What on God’s green earth does that mean?!

Frocktober 2014: What I learned from Frocktober 2013
Last year, I raised just over $2,700 for the OCRF. This year I was full of vigour that I would get to $3,000 easily. At the end of day 1 last year I had over $300, it’s day 2 – around lunchtime and I haven’t yet achieved $100.

What am I learning from this?

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott Pushing For Tougher International Action On Russia Over Ukraine
By Andrew Bolt ~
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott
The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was the first leader to directly link the downing of MH17 to Russian aggression in Ukraine:
In an apparent swipe at Russia, Mr Abbott also told parliament: ”The bullying of small countries by big ones, the trampling of justice and decency in the pursuit of national aggrandisement, and reckless indifference to human life should have no place in our world.”
Barack Obama followed suit – demanding Europe be tougher on Russia (tougher, that is, that the US has been):
“This certainly will be a wake-up call for Europe and the world that there are consequences to an escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine; that it is not going to be localized, it is not going to be contained,” Obama told reporters.
The Dutch now harden up their stance against Russia – a little:

Global conflict – be there or be ‘square?’
I came across this Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal cartoon just now.
