Isn't that curfew for machinery/tools?

As stated, it's not just for machinery/tools. Here's the Brisbane CC guide: Noise restrictions and complaints | Brisbane City Council

Can't find it reported anywhere yet. I can understand Pushka having her finger on the pulse...

Just saw the news regarding Phillip Hughes, saw it first on Facebook; but then checked the ABC news app; which hadn't updated it yet, AFFers are quick on the news.

Only 25.

no news were fast.

Indeed that is sad news. I was hoping it would not come to that but there was always a chance of this being the result.

Slightly OT - If you are on an iThing, you might have an issue with the News Ltd links as it loads for a moment & then goes to another page. The CA link is much better.

Absolute tragedy.

Looks like an interview happening now.

Alan jones mentioned a few things this morning on air.

Yes, terrible news about Phillip Hughes.
I didn't believe it when first told about half an hour ago because I had not heard anything on the radio until just before 4:00pm.

RIP Phillip Hughes.

Mum was just telling me how she feared for me when I played Cricket.

 

[Cossie]

Terrible news, I feel for his family and friends and one can only imagine what Sean Abbott must be going through, so sad.

Just terribly terribly sad news for all concerned - lesson in it for all of us though - life is so precious and can be snuffed out in an instant - never lose sight of that - everybody go home and hug your loved ones tonight and every other chance you get - events like this really do put things in perspective don't they.
