Look what can happen if you just ask…

During his talk, Rob weighed into the amalgamation debate, and talked about the value of us locally marketing ourselves and ...Read more

By Ben Deller, October 17th, 2011
If your household was anything like ours last night, you'd be forgiven for feeling a little jaded but bloody proud this morning! Thanks Australia, you were a formidable opponent and provided worthy competition but unfortunately I think you were let down by Cooper (Or did he live up to expectections?) See the flying magpie?
