    Radio royalty under pressure: Jackie O’s studio walkout reveals cracks in Kyle and Jackie O’s $200 million empire

    Fancy saying it's complete s*** to have to change your lifestyle. With his health problems he should have already done so and dropped 20 kilos or so easily.

    Over 2,300 deadly weapons surrendered as toughest knife laws take effect

    I am a bit confused. I looked up and it said the first $150 was due from 4th July . there is nothing showing on my synergy bill being in WA.
