Good afternoon,

Senator Helen Coonan today claimed that the Labor Party’s proposed fibre-to-the-node broadband internet roll-out will only reach 75 percent of Australians, rather than the 98 percent touted by Labor.

In the UK, censors have banned the first computer game in 10 years; reports say that Manhunt 2 will now be hot property at online auction sites.
