Can you fix it: Aim to overtake Australia

We asked you how to fix the economy and were flooded with responses. We'll be running these in the coming days. To contribute to the debate hit the green button below.
Any attempt to improve our economy needs to take several factors into account.
We do not live in isolation. We are a small country of four million people at the bottom of the world and are totally reliant on overseas income in order to survive. That income - in whatever form it takes - will likely always have a sizeable transport component to it, unless we can rev-up our technology industries that use the internet to move our expertise around the world.
We live in the shadow of Australia and see parity with them as important. It's not. I believe we can do better than them. In their favour they have a larger population and more mineral wealth (but a reduced market at the moment). Against them, however, they have concentrated populations in a few areas due to the inhospitable centre of the continent. That distorts such issues as land values while also adding a transport component to their costs.
We live in a world in which tax avoidance - often combined with welfare expectations - is probably the number one contributor to decreasing incomes for governments. How often do we hear of millionaires who have incomes in trusts and also have Community Services cards?
We live in a world in which there is no tax parity, particularly at a company level. This means companies can have a local name, and appear to be local entity, but are in fact registered offshore and paying a far lower tax rate to the government of that country while getting the advantages of being in this country.
The rise of internet shopping has its problems as New Zealand dollars go offshore to support overseas businesses that make no contribution to the New Zealand economy and don't employ local people. While there is often a freight component to these purchases, this has also been applied to local purchases of imported products. At the same time GST is being avoided. The advantage, though, is in generally lower prices, no GST and the convenience of arm chair shopping.
There are other factors to consider, but these make a good start.
Parity with Australia can be attained, I believe, by increasing our minimum wage to above that of Australia's minimum and reducing our top tax rates to below theirs. We have to compete with the very low rates of the likes of Ireland where Google and others are registered, yet be fair to all other income earners in New Zealand.
The moment wage increases are mentioned however, businesses - particularly manufacturers who are trying to avoid going offshore - start getting nervous and point to the Working for Families tax-refund package as the answer.
This is why Labour's call at the last election for a minimum wage of $15 per hour - which isn't high enough because the lowest rate in Australia is now just on $16 per hour - didn't work. Because it cannot be achieved in isolation.
The Working for Families programme is not working as it provides an artificial governor on what can be earned, with pay rises being absorbed by offsets in the system. So all that is really happening is a slow shift of responsibility from the government to the employer, with the employee getting very little out of it.
In my view, this package should be offered to employers as an employment subsidy, as an employer can make far better use of a dollar than an average wage earner can.
Growth is through private employment, not through Government welfare schemes.
This would offset the fear of the minimum pay rate being prohibitive and mean that a pay rise received by an employee is a real rise with a real increase in the hand.
We should remove GST from transactions under $400 for items which can be sourced independently - this would need to be carefully worked out to avoid abuse - as this is the limit to which internet transactions can be made before incurring GST.
The alternative would be to remove the $400 limit completely, but that would incur compliance costs which, on balance, may prove to be of negative value.
I believe the courier companies - as they would be the ones collecting and processing the transactions -already want the limit raised to $1,000 for this reason. This arrangement would assist our local retailers while not making too big a hole in the Government's tax requirements.
Finally, the New Zealand dollar is far too high - a factor that everyone recognises. Rob Muldoon used to have this pegged at 65 cents to the Unites States dollar and I believe that Treasury still recognise this as the approximate optimum.
The major impact here would be oil prices and their knock-on economic effects but the answer to that is to develop our oil fields for ourselves and build a refinery that is capable of processing it.

The high price that can be paid by key personnel during difficult takeovers is vividly illustrated by the sudden leave of absence being taken by Mark Nicholls, the head of corporate finance at SBC Warburg.
Mr Nicholls, who has been leading Warburg's corporate finance department during one of its most traumatic years, was earlier this week forced to take a break from the job on the advice of his doctor.
The bank declined to give reasons for Mr Nicholls' leave of absence and expressed a hope that he would return to his former post.
Friends suggested that Mr Nicholls was suffering from stress and exhaustion and some doubted whether he would be able to return to his former position.
Friends are blaming Mr Nicholls' health problems on the inevitable tension at the bank that has followed the takeover, which has brought together teams of people at both banks who hitherto regarded their counterparts as deadly rivals.
The merger, which has created one of the world's strongest investment banks, has inevitably resulted in a number of staff defections and the loss of some clients.
"Mark has taken some of the defections personally and he has been through a very difficult time," one of his friends said yesterday.
Since the two banks have started their integration process about 900 employees have left the combined operation and hundreds more are expected to depart before the process has been completed. About 60 of the former Warburg staff have defected to Morgan Grenfell Deutsche Bank.
Mr Nicholls is one of three former SG Warburg directors appointed to an SBC-dominated executive board of the investment bank and his duties are temporarily being taken over by Marcus Ospel, the bank's chief executive.
A former lawyer with Linklaters and Paines, Mr Nicholls moved to become head of corporate finance at SG Warburg when Derek Higgs and Nicholas Verey were moved aside to concentrate on winning new business after the breakdown of the bank's earlier merger talks with the US bank Morgan Stanley. The cessation of those talks caused a big downturn in morale at SG Warburg, which used to be the City's foremost merchant bank.
Employees at SBC Warburg were sent a memorandum informing them of Mr Nicholls' leave of absence. They were also told that his duties will be taken over by Mr Ospel until his return.
Yesterday, however, some City sources were speculating that the firm may have to look to replace Mr Nicholls, possibly from outside the firm. Another option being discussed was the possible splitting of his job.

Pros: New system is running smooth, I am not having the problems I cited before of the system crashing to blue screens and windows not responding.
Cons: Cheap accessories.
Other Thoughts: I was very glad NewEgg replaced the PC rather than repair. Overall I am happy with my purchase even though I had to return and wait for a replacement. I did have to constantly contact new egg for information and often received what seemed like pre-written responses rather than a human response. Just be aware if you buy this machine there is a chance it could have problems out of the box, like mine did. But NewEgg return policy covered me for a replacement and the new one is running GREAT!READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Amazing for the price you pay
Cons: The system on mine was unstable. I could not run anything without it freezing and crashing to a blue screen. I would also get a CMOS fail screen when rebooting. I just started the replacement process so I hope the new machine runs normally. I am a little worried but hope I just got unlucky. I will update how the new machine runs.READ FULL REVIEW

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - dechlorinator in tank or in bucket? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/dechlorinator-tank-bucket-8387/)
dechlorinator in tank or in bucket?
I was reading the forums and a question came up in my mind. When I do a water change, I use a 5 gallon bucket. Up til now, I have been adding a few drops of my dechlorinator to the bucket, stirring it, waiting a few minutes, and then adding the new water to the tank.
After reading someone's post, it occurred to me that maybe I am supposed to be putting dechlorinator in the tank itself AFTER adding my fresh bucket of tap water.
Which way is correct?[/list]
I do what you often do and I prefer it that way.
i think there are a lot of people in the fishie world
who do this after,
however I myself like to add the de-chlorinator
to the butket of water give it a stir,then add it
to the main tank.
I guess I'm a culprit of adding it directly into my tank as I fill it with my python during water changes. I know this way tends to seem risky cause my fish are exposed to my tap water, but I find it to be fine. When I fill my tank back up with tap water, I set it very slowly - so it trickles in, and add my dechlorinator a little at a time. I feel like this way it slowly introduces the new water to my fish.
I have my tank marked, so I know how many gallons I'm taking out without calculating it through buckets and I know how much dechlorinator to put in.
I also add dechlorinator to the bucket prior to adding it to the tank.
I've been doing the bucket thing, but then I threw my back out. So I had been pumping the water from the sink to a 30 gallon tub, treating it there and then pumping it to the tanks, but that's a giant pain in the fanny. Tonight, I mixed the water treatment with the some tank water, poured it into the tank, and then started the python to fill the tank up. So far everybody seems happy enough (Including a batch of cory fry).
i do the bucket thing also
I do the bucket method. I am just afraid if any chlorine gets in tank it might kill off some of my bacteria before the conditioner has time to react and remove the chlorine.
I've never added it to the actual tank, but know a number of people who do without any problems - they do this before adding the new water though.
What I do is place a large bucket with a pump in the sink, add the dechlor to the bucket and pump directly into the tank using a length of hoze.
i just add prime right into the tank and turn on the house. been working for me for years why change. sorry didnt read the whole post but if your adding right to the tank make sure to treat the whole tank. 100 gal tank treat 100 gal of water......

I usually see wood chips - plain, not colored stuff - but I don't know
where its origin. You can buy it by the yard at nurseries. It has bark
in it though, I don't think it is just chopped pallets. I don't recall
ever seeing colored mulch or pine needles. Home centers have wood or
bark mulch in bags, I imagine that's the same all over the US.
Caveat: I have a beautiful pine needle mulch in my teahouse garden. Of
course it's surrounded on 3 sides by about 20 pine trees...I just rake
it off the paths...
Gravel or rock is used in native or xeric gardens. I see a beige rock
used a lot in, mmmm what's the word, places like supermarket parking
lots, restaurants, or big complexes like here where I work. And I've
seen houses with fancy xeric landscaping use gravel.
I don't like rock or gravel because it takes too much maintenance.
You're thinking, what?? But it's true. If you put down landscape fabric
and then rock over it, the wind will blow enough dirt in just a couple
years that the whole thing has to come up and get shoveled out. If you
don't put landscape fabric, then your rock will just get covered over
and you'll have to either plant into it or again, shovel it up and
screen out the dirt. Of course, with my weedy patch I have no room to

Apps stopping and too RAM usage
From a couple of days ago my android started to act weird, very often my apps began to stop and I can't transfer nothing from the default browser, also Clean Master shows that my RAM is always being very used, what is very unusual. Any ideas why?

Re: Apps stopping and too RAM usage
What device do you have? How much RAM is being used, and how much is free? What do you mean about transferring from the default browser--what are you trying to transfer?
One of the first things to try would be a system cache partition wipe, if it's possible on your device--we need to know what it is, first.

Ok, I'm using a ezee tab 707 from Storex, now it's using about 77% of RAM, but when I optimize it becomes about 35% (which was it's normal value, but now it keeps this value for about 10 seconds and it comes back to 70%). Maybe it's because I rooted it?
When I try to download anything, for example an app or even a website it just says "We are sorry, but the browser has stopped" - I am translating what it said.
What do you mean by 'system cache partition'?

Re: Apps stopping and too RAM usage
The RAM usage is normal. Android prefers to keep apps open in RAM, even ones you didn't start. See these articles for more info:
It sounds like your browser is having issues. Try going to Settings/Apps/All, select Browser, and tap Clear Cache and Clear Data, then Force Stop. Now try again. If problems persist, try installing a 3rd party browser like Now Browser or Dolphin Browser from Google Play.

Cobain meets Chopin?
His hair's a mess! He smokes! He has "Sergei Rachmaninov" tattooed on his wrist! All of which have led to classical pianist James Rhodes to be labelled a "Rock star on a Steinway".
A little ersatz…
No, he's the real deal and he's worked hard for it. He kept up piano through school, but never got past Grade 3….
So he persevered?
He buried himself in a job in the City for a decade. He returned to his childhood dream of being a pianist, only when, he says "the pain of not doing it got greater than the pain of doing it".
Everything fell into place?
He practised six hours a day, took four-day long lessons from "a psychopathic teacher", lost 35lb in weight, his wife and was sectioned and spent nine months in a mental hospital.
A past he'd like to forget, surely?
He's using the experience for a Channel 4 documentary, in which he takes his piano to a Northampton psychiatric ward to hopefully help them recover with personalised pieces of music.
What's the logic?
Rhodes believes music holds a special power in returning people to sanity. His own recovery was kickstarted when a friend smuggled an iPod into his hospital, containing a piece of music by Bach.Reuse content

What apps to install after the purchase?
Not sure if some similar topic exists, but recently my friend purchased his first Android device (tablet) and he asked what apps he should install. I gave him some advice, but I think a more comprehensive list would be better. So I ask a collective mind of Android Central: What apps you recommend to install and for what?
I'll start.
1) Pocket
One of my favorites. Great for those who have multiple devices and want to read some article later.
2) SoundCloud
Great for discovering new music.
3) Skype
One of the best VOIP services.
4) Wunderlist
Great To-Do list app
5) B1 Free Archiver
The most powerful file archiver
6) Dolphin Browser
A fast and lightweight browser. (thought I also like Chrome due to using it on my laptop)
7) MX Player
Indisputably the best video-player
8) ...
Go on, guys!

It was a great experience at Takshshila. I really enjoyed it. Everyone here have very good and helping nature. Takshshila is a biggest boon given to me. I got to learn so much from Takshshila. I want to thank Takshshila for making me a part of it. Yes, I am really proud to be part of this great institution. Once again I want to thank Takshshila for being like a pillar in building a career.
Takshshila has been a great experience. The faculty has been very helpful. Right from first day I have formed a bond with the institution. Takshshila has helped me to become more confident and has made me to work harder towards my goal.
Takshshila is an institution which can make an amateur into a professional. They start right from the initial baby steps and make us run. I not only teaches us how to prepare for the various competitive exams, but they indirectly teach us to be a patient, sincere and punctual. I was a kind of a person who never could draw a straight line precisely. But now I can proudly say that I can sketch. The teachers here make complicated things very simple. Frankly telling, being apart of Takshshila was truly an amazing experience, actually a roller coaster ride!
"A Good teacher can inspire hope, Ignite the imagination, and instill a love of loving". Al this happened to me at Takshshila. I Nearly spent a year here, and had best time. I fullfilled all my dreams with knowledge gained from Takshshila
NIFT B.design 2015 - Rank -66
As a student of Takshshila I learned a lot here. The whole class of Takshshila is like a family. Takshshila helped me to improve my skills and ability. It has helped me to achieve success
The course provided by Takshshila for NIFT is extremely helpful. It gives a priority to the GAT exam which holds more importance. The teachers for theory are exceptionally understanding and patient. Also for the situation test, we are given training for material handling and an easy use of time. Compared to other institutes, it's the best as has been proved by the results over the years.

Two Telemetry reports with negative uptimes
Telemetry occasionally reports negative uptimes.
Similar to bug 670008, but the bug is still present in Telemetry reports. See attached reports from a Dec 29th and Jan 11th build.
Could be bug 722625, general corruption in saved telemetry file.
It seems that there's no serious checksumming going on here. Bits could be flipped anywhere, including in the user's RAM.
Xavier - I would like to gauge how prevalent this issue is - and if it is still an issue. Can you please check how many pings in recent days (recent for whenever you get to check) include negative uptimes?
This is still present but it's a pretty minor (negligible) issue in the numbers.
9/10/2012 => 401 out of 3,500,553 submissions had a negative uptime
9/11/2012 => 324 out of 3,282,940 submissions had a negative uptime
For what it's worth I'm only seeing it happen in release or beta channels.
Looks like we're talking about roughly 0.01% of the population. I don't think this is worth the time to investigate at this point. I'm going to resolve as wontfix.

There are several procedures which are used in pain management. The various procedures cover anything from conservative non-invasive treatments to surgery. The type of treatment used is determined by the level of pain as well as the cause. Most doctors treat low back pain with the simple non-medical treatments first, before relying on medication as well as other procedures. The patient's specific condition will determine the method that will be the best option, but doctors will invariably begin while using treatment plans which are not invasive.
Professor Fonarow states numerous studies had demonstrated that many of these medications are associated with an increased likelihood of cardiovascular events, in particular when used for a prolonged duration of time far better doses. It is still unclear for the extent from the risk and how the cardiovascular risk can deviate between different NSAIDs. Dr. Fonarow failed to take part in the study.
Other patients have to have a laminectomy, involving removal of the whole lamina. Most doctors tend not to recommend surgery to deal with back pain because of the risks involved. If, however, it is vital, they should ensure that the individual is in a proper enough condition to recover fully. Surgery is often available to people who are healthy and relatively younger, since they are more likely to have complete recovery.
Other patients have to have a laminectomy, that involves removal of your entire lamina. Most doctors usually do not recommend surgery to take care of back pain due to the risks involved. If, however, it is vital, they must ensure that the sufferer is in a wholesome enough condition to recover fully. Surgery is often available people who are healthy and relatively younger, since they are more likely to have complete recovery.
One of the first treatment plans applied to those struggling with back pain is exercise. It is usually used in the event the patient has mild to moderate lumbar pain. The exercises used are mostly non-weight exercises which are recommended by physiotherapists. It is important to not put an excessive amount of pressure for the back in the exercises. Water exercises or swimming are generally especially beneficial.
Those who have went through various pain management procedures without experiencing relief will often have to go through surgery. There are different surgical procedures done according to the location of the problem and also the condition from the patient. Patients with disk problems are often the discectomy procedure, , involving removing a portion with the disc nucleus to relive pressure.

Turbo snails attached to coral and a free "caterpillar"!
I am new to saltwater aquariums having kept fresh for many years. I have two corals in my tank one of which I believe May be called a zoanthus. I have a couple of turbo snails that attach to it, is this ok? It appears not to harm the coral and it doesn't close up when they attach. I also have what looks like a furry caterpillar which I discovered was attached to the underside of a rock. It crawls over the rocks slowly and doesn't appear to cause harm. It is brown/red and about an inch or two long, is it safe and what is it?
Many thanks in anticipation to any and all who can help an amateur!
The turbo snails are reef safe they are just clumsy, it is probably in the process of cleaning the coral rock off of algaes. Also if you had a picture of the other creature it may help with an ID but I can say the most common thing that goes by a similar description would be a bristle worm.
"Caterpillar photo"
1 Attachment(s)
I have attached a photo of the caterpillar type creature in my tank. It seems quite happy to crawl around and is equally happy day or night.
Hopefully it can be identified!
Thanks in anticipation
Reminds me of a type of sea slug or nudibranch, not one I am familiar with. Just keep an eye on him and where he travels, this will give you an idea of what he is eating,many are restricted to a selective diet.

House Won't Back $3.7 Billion for Border, Rogers SaysErik Wasson and Heidi Przybyla
The U.S. House won't support giving President Barack Obama his full $3.7 billion request to fund the response to the child migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers said.
"That's too much," Rogers, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters in Washington today. Instead, he said most of the funding will be handled through regular U.S. spending bills.
"There are pieces of it that need to be dealt with immediately and that's what we are working on," Rogers said.
A proposed change in law to allow quicker child deportations at the border may also be handled through the regular spending process, Rogers said. He said he wants to deal separately with $615 million requested for fighting wildfires.
Democrats may have to accept the speedier child deportations sought by Republicans as the tradeoff for passing additional funds for the influx of unaccompanied minors at the southern border.
More than 52,000 unaccompanied children were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border from Oct. 1 through June 15, about double the total in a similar period a year earlier, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office.
Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona propose amending a 2008 law that gave legal protections to migrant children from anywhere but Mexico and Canada, the two countries sharing borders with the U.S. Though the measure's aim was to guard against the human trafficking of children, it has handicapped efforts to deal with a surge of illegal immigration into the U.S. by minors from Central America.
Mexican Children
McCain and Flake want to treat these children the same as unaccompanied minors from Mexico, who are quickly turned back from the U.S. after an interview by border agents. Some Democrats, including Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, are backing the proposal, while others aren't objecting to it.
Conspicuous among the latter group is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who said yesterday the policy change Republicans seek is "not a deal breaker."
Democrats have yet to determine "what price we'll have to pay" to get congressional approval of the emergency funds Obama requested this week, she told reporters yesterday.
Representative Luis Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat and immigration chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said today he opposes reducing the legal rights of children fleeing violence. He spoke in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend.
'Only Thing'
"So the only thing Barack Obama's ever going to pass and sign into law, right, is never an immigration reform bill that would bring benefit to our country economically," Gutierrez said, "but a new deportation bill? No."
The border crisis has intensified the Republican focus on heightening security and law enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico boundary as a precondition for a comprehensive revision of immigration policies. The influx of children, they say, proves their argument and has emboldened them to demand changes in the 2008 law, signed by then-President George W. Bush, as Obama's funding request is debated.
"The only thing that's going to stop these children from coming is if their parents see planeloads of them coming back to the country of origin," McCain said yesterday. "Then they will have wasted" the money paid to people to smuggle the children north, he said.
Obama also supports revising the law, though he didn't include it in the plan he sent to Congress for dealing with the current situation.
Senator Leahy
Democrats pledging to oppose amending the law include Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the chamber's Judiciary Committee.
"I can assure you that I will fight tooth and nail changes" to the law, he said at a hearing yesterday.
"When you have an eight- or nine-year-old girl who's being raped by gangs" and escaping violence, "I'm not sure Americans would all feel like we should immediately send them back," Leahy said.
Obama and his aides, in urging support for his funding request, are stressing the strain the influx has put on existing resources. At a Senate hearing yesterday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency will run out of money in mid-August.
Visiting Border
Though Obama has resisted calls that he personally visit the border -- saying officials such as Johnson have done so and kept him informed -- he met on July 9 in the Dallas area with Texas Governor Rick Perry and others to discuss the crisis. Obama was already scheduled to visit the state to headline political fundraisers for Democrats.
Perry, a Republican and longtime critic of Obama on immigration issues, followed up yesterday with a letter to the president in which he called for changing policies that "serve as a magnet to encourage illegal immigration," including those that thwart the quick return of unaccompanied children to their native countries.
Perry also requested the immediate deployment of 1,000 National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border. He asked for federal clearance "to allow the National Guard to utilize Predator drones" along the border "for identifying and tracking human and drug trafficking."
Detention Capacity
The proposal Obama sent to Congress would increase detention capacity and court operations to speed deportation decisions, while expanding law enforcement and prosecution of criminal networks that smuggle people into the U.S. The administration also wants to improve temporary housing and care for immigrants while their cases are decided.
Members of both parties have expressed concern about the plan's cost.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters yesterday that the Republican-led chamber won't support Obama's proposal in its current form. "I can tell you this, we're not giving the president a blank check," he said.
Still, Boehner told the Republican House caucus at a July 9 closed meeting that he wants to deal this month with the surge, said a party aide familiar with the talks.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said this week he wants the chamber to vote on a bill addressing the crisis before lawmakers leave for their August break.
Violence, Poverty
Immigration and humanitarian advocates say the McCain-Flake push to revise deportation law would deprive children fleeing violence and poverty of their need for legal counsel and hearings on their status.
A report from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said that about 60 percent of the children seeking to come to the U.S. are making the journey because they suffered or faced harm that indicated a "need for international protection."
McCain and Flake said in a statement that their proposal would return children to their home countries within hours or days. It would provide more immigration judges and require Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to do more to prevent illegal migration of minors or risk the loss of U.S. aid.
Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, the chamber's second-ranking Democrat, told reporters yesterday he's not inclined to return children to locales other than Mexico.
"Many of these countries that are sending these children are out of control," he said. "There's no law enforcement to speak of, they literally shove the garbage in the middle of the streets so people go through it rather than starve to death."
"Let's take care that we don't send them back into a deadly situation," Durbin said.

ABC Rural Report for Western Queensland, Monday 4th of November, 2013
Federal government approves Alpha coal project
Amy Phillips
The Federal government has granted environmental approval of the Kevin's Corner project north of Jericho in central Queensland.
The mine is owned by GVK, an Indian energy company, and Federal Environment minister, Greg Hunt says a rigorous and thorough assessment has been taken out by two levels of government.
The mine is predicted to produce 30 million tonnes per annum of thermal coal over a 30 year lifespan period.
Construction is expected to start in 2015 and mining in 2018.
GVK's other mining interests in the region include part ownership of Alpha Coal and Alpha West Coal as well as a rail line between the mine and Abbot Point near Bowen.
ABC Rural have contacted many land holders expecting to be impacted by the mine but most were reluctant to talk due to confidentiality agreements with GVK.
Sean Dillon from Surbiton Station at Alpha says there's a good chance most of his land will be swallowed up by the project.
"The true scale of the impact will only be known with the fullness of time.
"Certainly there's going to be a fair percentage, if not effectively one day all of that, being excised and unable for us to use for grazing.
"Just being in the proximity of the mine though will come with its own challenges.
"Long term I think it potentially has some positive benefits for, not only us, but the community at large as well."
But there are still concerns about the impacts of mine developments in the Galilee Basin.
Consultant Tom Crothers co-authored a report for the Lock the Gate Alliance which showed underground water supplies to towns could be at risk from mine projects in the region.
He says he's surprised by the Kevin's Corner approval, because the Federal Minister had been asked to delay consideration.
"I was a signatory of an open letter to Minister Hunt which we sent to him early last week, in which we called for him to delay any further decisions on mining proposals in Queensland, until such time as there was a regional ground water model developed for the basin, which could assess the cumulative impacts of all of the mines."
The Queensland Government has already approved the four point two billion dollar project.
Mining companies bail on rail improvements
Virginia Tapp
Two major mining companies have abandoned plans to improve the efficiency and capacity of the Mount Isa to Townsville rail line.
MMG, Cudeco and Xstrata Glencore signed an agreement last year, committing themselves to the construction of a multi-user rail load out facility 7 kilometres east of Cloncurry, but when the contract came up for renewal on Wednesday, MMG and Xstrata Glencore bailed on the project.
The Cloncurry Shire Council says Cudeco are still going ahead with their section of the facility, but this is yet to be confirmed by Cudeco, who have not yet responded to the ABC's calls and emails.
The Mayor Andrew Daniels is confident the facility will still be built.
In a statement Xstrata Glencore said they no longer needed to transport product out of Cloncurry, since they stopped sending Magnetite out of Ernest Henry Mine earlier this year.
MMGs Dugald River Zinc project is under review following complications found in the ore body and in a statement the company said they were unable to agree on reasonable commercial terms regarding the construction of the rail load out facility.
They are researching other possible transport options.
Dog proof fence a good investment
Amy Phillips
A report investigating the cost benefit of a wild dog proof fence in the Central West of the state has found it would be an extremely worth while investment.
A 1600 kilometre dog fence has been proposed to protect sheep producing areas from wild dog attacks, fencing in most of the Longreach shire, and some of the Barcaldine, Blackall and Barcoo shires,
The report predicts it would cost 13 million dollars to build the fence and 1 million dollars to maintain.
At the same time, author of the report, Ian Perkins, says wild dogs cost the sheep and cattle industry in the region 13 million dollars annually.
Wild dogs are blamed in part for the massive decline of the wool industry, which is clearly evident in the fact that there used to be 14 shearing teams at Muttaburra, which now hosts only one shearer.
The Longreach regional council says landholders would experience huge benefits with almost the entire council area proposed to be fenced in and protected from dogs.
Chair of the shires wild dog advisory group, Greg Bowden from Baratria station says his committee supports the proposal.
Copies of the report are available from RAPAD in Longreach or your local wild dog comittee.
Public decide future of North West QLD's irrigated agriculture
Virginia Tapp
Water license holders on the Flinders river will be able to trade water among themselves by June the 1st next year, pending a public consultation period.
The Department of Natural Resources allocated 79 000 megalitres of water from the Flinders River for Agricultural use earlier this year.
28,000 megalitres went to Stanbroke Pastoral Company, 19,000 to the Australian Agricultural Company and 32,000 megalitres to AJM Pastoral.
The Department's Shannon Dempster says tradability will enable some producers to accumulate more water for bigger projects, or make a profit on water they don't need.
Public consultation will begin in December, where communities along the Flinders will get the chance to look over the draft amendments to the Gulf Water Resource Operations Plan and voice any objections or concerns they may have.
Northern prawn fishery proves it's sustainability
Charlie McKillop
An annual report by ABARES has found the Northern Prawn and fin fish fisheries in the Gulf are performing well.
In the Northern Prawn Fishery, the report found that Banana Prawns have been sustainably fished since 1992.
Tiger Prawns have been sustainably fished since 1992 except for 5 years between 1998 and 2003.
The Blue Endeavour prawn has been sustainably fished since 2009, before that there was not enough information to determine a status.
There is still not enough information to determine the status of the Red Endeavour prawn.
Barramundi and blue threadfin are considered 'sustainably fished', while other target species in the gulf are either 'undefined' or 'uncertain'.
Some concern has been expressed about the sustainability of the shark species and grey mackerel at the current catch levels.
Gulf of Carpentaria Developmental Fin Fish Trawl Fishery has been granted export approval until 2015.
In light of the Northern prawn fisheries good performance, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority has decided not to introduce a quota system for all Commonwealth fisheries.
Prawn fisherman in the gulf welcome the decision having expressed concerns that a quota system would seriously impact the industry's ability to remain viable.
The northern prawn fishery is currently worth $40 million each year to the Australian economy.

Plouffe Sees 'Screaming Siren' Party Warning in FloridaMike Dorning
A former top political adviser to President Barack Obama called the Democratic loss in Florida's special congressional race "a screaming siren," warning that the party needs to do more to motivate supporters in November's nationwide elections.
David Plouffe, a onetime White House senior adviser and strategist for both of Obama's presidential campaigns, rejected the idea that the March 11 contest in Florida was a referendum on the president's health-care law, instead arguing that the results expose an enthusiasm deficit among Democrats.
"We have a turnout issue," Plouffe said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend. "This is a screaming siren that the same problems that afflicted us" in 2010 when Democrats lost control of the House "could face us again."
Republican candidate David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink 48.4 percent to 46.6 percent in the election for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seat following a television advertising fight focused on Obamacare.
The election drew little more than half as many voters in the district as in the 2012 presidential race, when Obama won the area by 1.5 percentage points for re-election and since-deceased Republican Representative C.W. "Bill" Young was re-elected.
Sununu's Indicator
Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu, a Republican, said the result of the Florida vote is an indication that discontent over the Affordable Care Act "will drive the election, that it's a loser for Democrats."
Sununu, appearing on the same program, cited as an example the political trajectory of 2010.
That year began with Republican Scott Brown unexpectedly winning a January special Senate election in Massachusetts for the seat long been held by Democrat Senator Edward Kennedy, who had died in August 2009. In November 2010, Republicans gained Senate seats and wrested control of the House from Democrats.
"Special elections in a run-up do generally point to where the trend is headed," said Sununu, 49, who lost his bid for a second term in 2008.
Plouffe, 46, said Sink's message in the Florida campaign of fixing problems with Obamacare rather than ending the health law resonated with "the traditional swing voter," and he attributed the loss solely to higher turnout by Republican voters than Democratic voters.
Jolly called for repeal of the law.
Obamacare Polling
A Bloomberg National Poll conducted March 7-10 found that 34 percent of Americans favor repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which was enacted to offer millions of Americans lacking health insurance coverage under new exchanges.
Fifty-one percent of Americans favor retaining the law with "small modifications;" 13 percent would leave it intact.
Still, repeal advocates in the poll showed much greater passion, being more likely to vote and more likely to say their views on Obamacare would determine who they supported. Seventy-three percent of Bloomberg poll respondents who would repeal Obamacare said the law will be a "major" decider of their vote, compared with 45 percent of those who support modifications and 33 percent who back the law as is.
Repeal advocates are also the most likely to vote, with 73 percent saying they will "definitely" do so. By contrast, 61 percent of those who want only small modifications are likely voters as are 54 percent of those who want the law kept intact.
'Away Games'
With 36 U.S. Senate seats up for election in November, Democrats face an electoral map in which the party will be "playing a lot of away games" in Republican-leaning states, Plouffe said.
Still, he said, some Republican-leaning states such as Louisiana and Arkansas, both represented by incumbent Democratic senators seeking re-election, have a "significant minority population" traditionally allied with Democrats.
Advances in campaigning with social media and analyzing voter data made by the Obama campaigns won't be enough by themselves to generate high enough turnout for Democrats, Plouffe said.
"It's not just about data and technology," said Plouffe, author of the book "The Audacity to Win" following Obama's first election as president. "The candidates themselves are going to have to do a good job inspiring them," he said.
CIA Flap
Plouffe also predicted the results of a Senate Intelligence Committee investigation of the Central Intelligence Agency's treatment of suspected terrorists during former President George W. Bush's administration "eventually" will be released in some form to the public.
The committee chairman, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, has been at odds with the Obama White House as the panel has pressed to declassify findings and complained of CIA obstruction. Feinstein has accused the CIA of improper and possibly illegal interference in the investigation -- hacking into computers used by the committee. CIA Director John Brennan said "nothing could be further from the truth."
"It's in everybody's interest to kind of move past this episode, get out what can get out, and move on," Plouffe said.
Sununu criticized Robert Eatinger, the CIA's acting general counsel until a replacement was confirmed March 13, as having "a bit of a conflict of interest" in the matter.
Eatinger was previously a lawyer overseeing the detention and interrogation program, and his name is mentioned about 1,600 times in the panel's report. In his capacity as the agency's acting general counsel, he referred a criminal case to the Justice Department for prosecution of the Intelligence Committee staff.
