This service supports people from Ireland with their mental health while they are away.

Free Skype counselling for lonely Irish offered in Australia and Canada
Many millions of Irish people have been leaving Ireland for hundreds of years. I emigrated from Ireland 35 years ago. Many of my childhood friends are scattered around the world. I can't speak for everyone, but I was too concerned about holding down a job, keeping a roof over my head and feeding my family to have time to be depressed, addicted...

Australia has a gold plated electricity grid - value equal to USA despite our sizeAround 1860 the enormous British investment in steam rail transport directly damaged the development of any competing transport systems. The result was a brief golden era for British rail, followed by a continuous decline of industrial output until Britain today manufactures very little. The British automotive industry was never a serious compet...

Merredin blazes own path with wind, solarHooray someone is finally getting it. My little Missouri 1500 watt generator does just that. Tops up my batteries mainly at night and makes my small system at the farm work like a charm. Combined with a small genset backup for about 2 weeks of the year it works great. The next thing is how to work out dumping the excess power into my water...

Barrow Island FIFO worker self-harms on flight to PerthRCR comments might be insensitive but they are true. The problem has only got worse over the last decade yet has been around for as long as I can remember. So where does the problem lie? Workers now have are in single accommodations, ensuite, healthy food, gym, pool, and the list goes on which we fought for many years ago. So in my opinion there...

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?Hi People, I have been tracking the conversation on Blacklisting as I too have had some trouble over the past 14 months. I will investigate this matter along with my Legal Advisor. In the meantime I request a copy of the , ERMS Identity Confirmation Form, I believe you are able to furnish me with. I look forward to presenting some really good...

Clean-coal cheaper option than renewablesCoal will never be as clean as renewables.While coal may be cheaper in the short term,in the long run renewables will become cheaper and cheaper and better for the environment from the word go.As far as clean coal plants driving prices down, that's a load of BS. I've never seen power prices go down in my life!!Brett Cole, 04/07...

Clean-coal cheaper option than renewables
Clean coal is the way to go, renewables are just unreliable intermittent money wasters. A good article that some loonies will not want to hear. Wayne Strudwick, 04/07/17

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?
I've been a victim of this for too long. I can't get work no more. I've been in the construction and mining game for 25 yrs. They just deny it. We need to stamp this bullshit out and take it further. The news, somewhere where its going to be heard, get a petition going, hand it to the government or someone that can help, I can only do shutdowns...

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?
I know it's a fact they've kept all information on every person in the past as l requested a copy of mine at a cost of $70 dollars over 15 years ago. They have since told me that they do not keep anything other than the initial induction questionnaires we do prior to starting jobs but I don't believe it as l have not been able to get any work...

Inpex FIFO suicide sparks call for actionAs an NT resident and FIFO worker for decades I can say that the Northern Territory suffers from this Suicide syndrome more than WA as the workers work longer for less here as a rule. Most come from places other than Darwin where they are based so family support is often non existant and the price of affordable housing is out of control no doubt...

True renewables cost is set to shockI am a mechanical engineer. Innovation is difficult in that it is expensive in dollar terms. I have been trying for some years to build two prototype machines that will extract thermal energy from air and water and convert it almost directly into electrical energy. There are plenty of people that will finance this, but they require me to surrend...

Australia’s high-cost power a stark contrast to US pricesWhen all Power Companies were Government owned, even when heavily loaded with personnel, the only Power Companies across the world who could produce cheaper power than Australia were countries with a large quantity of hydro power. State Governments have taken a quick grab for cash by selling off and deregulation has allowed a lot of retailers in...
