French woman Solenne San Jose was issued a quadrillion-dollar phone amouting to a grand total of 11,721,000,000,000,000 euros, which equates to roughly 6,000 times her country's national output. After a few calls, she managed to convince the phone company they had made an error and got the bill down to 117.21 euros.

After she hung up, she then began to worry about how much she was going to be charged for making the calls that rectified her bill.

Last night at a union party attended by numerous Labor MPs, a joke was told that targeted Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and his chief of staff Peta Credlin. Today, said joke attracted outrage from the Coalition and many Australians, who have expressed their outrage over the crude remarks. Surprisingly though, the joke that was told has not been made known to the public.

 

Which brings me to my question: What is the public outraged about? I mean, you don't even know what it is and you're posting it all over the net that you're disgusted. Seriously, the contents of the joke is being kept tighter than Peta Credlin's...uh oh...

Today, the Australina Bureau of Statistics today released figures which show that the unemployment rate has increased from 5.1 to 5.4 percent, while at the same time the Bureau has announced that 32,000 full-time jobs have been created.

 

Only in Australia can we hire more people and fire more at the same time.
