lock outs will it work ?

I believe that the lock outs won’t really have all that much effect in what they hope it will, I mean what do they hope to achieve by have lock outs, it'll just mean that at a certain time you'll have to stop migrating from club to club. I don’t see how it will counter act anti social behavior, if you have a drunken boofhead at 10 what's the difference to having a dunking boofhead at 2? Nothing an egg is an egg anyway you look at it. I believe they have taking the complete wrong direction in this new lock out idea. Take another stupid idea for example the alcopops tax, it was only a small inconvenience, if it was a inconvenience they would just swap to cheap wine or sprits which is far worse than a fizzy premix. I can see the collection between the two it’s only going to be a small inconvenience, and it’s going to result in more just walking the streets in Northbridge where they have more chance of injuring they selves or others and causing an inconvenience to the police. My idea, isolate the individuals issue them with a ban of Northbridge for a certain number of weeks if they break the instruction, then they can be prosecutable. There encourages the trouble makers to buck there ideas up or they won’t be tolerated in Northbridge.

PR think of the possibilities

Public Relations, I you look around right now nearly everything can be traced back to public relations one way or another it affects most things in today’s modern society and the industry is only going to get larger. The sheer diversity in terms of jobs in the PR industry is staggering; you can be working for anything form a mutli billion dollar mining company to being a PR officer in the Australian army, or even a personal PR agent to celebrities and major sporting stars. The opportunities and diversity are all there all you have to do is be willing to reach out and grab it. If you’re more concerned about serving a cause public relations can help you achieve that, saving the environment by working for a non-for profit charity or help shape Australia by working for the government. What it all comes down to is, ask not what you can do for PR, but what can PR do for you.

A Hot Bowl of Rice

I apologise in advance for the lateness of the blog and the slackness, but without further a due my opinion.

Boy, did Stephanie Rice really slip up. I mean what was she thinking when she posted that comment on twitter, she must of known that twitter being a social networking site would automatically mean that whatever she posts is going to be noticed. If she just posted something along the lines of "carn the wallabies" she would of shown the same message she intended to mean without the offensive and demeaning language. I believe Rice was wrong in using such language on a social networking site and in general, but I believe that the dumping of her at the hands of Jaguar was somewhat uncalled for. I can see where Jaguar is coming from in not wanting to be portrayed in such a negative light, but at the press conference she held I believe she did appear truly remorseful. I believe the slamming of the comment and Rice was called for but the termination of the Jaguar contract was a step too far, for a single spur of the moment stupidity.
