KFC sponsers Cricket Australia through advertising and promotions throughout the media. The chain has been the official fast food restaurant for the sport since 2003. We are on the rising rate of obesity in children and having such and unhealthy form of food should not be promoted by any sports. Leading Australian obesity experts have called on Cricket Australia to end its sponsorship arrangements with KFC saying its strong promotional support for a fast food giant is unhelpful and irresponsible during a childhood obesity epidemic. "Cricket Australia should consider its responsibilities to Australia's children and youth and review its sponsorship by KFC. Not only would this benefit the health of the community but it would also demonstrate leadership and social responsibility by Cricket Australia and Australia's elite cricketers", Professors Colagiuri and Caterson said.

Fraud is reportedly one of the fastest growing crimes in Australia. According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, the estimated cost of fraud to Australia is in excess of $5 billion a year, which represents almost a third of the total cost of crime in Australia ($19 billion). Identity fraud, in particular, where identities are stolen or fictitious identities are created, is becoming an increasing problem due to emerging (and rapidly evolving) technologies which enable such crimes to be committed. Not only does identity fraud pose a significant financial cost to the community (with estimates ranging from $2 billion to $3.5 billion a year) but it impacts significantly on: victims (whose identities have been stolen); financial and other institutions; and law enforcement agencies because of the difficulty in tackling such crime, and because identity fraud facilitates the commission of other types of crime such as people smuggling.

Starting high school is something we all have to go through in our lives. It can be a scary, exciting, overwhelming and a brand new experience. When we are in primary school we are there fom a very young age, we make friends who we create strong bonds with and grow together with throughout the years. After many years of primary school we are settled into our enviroment and as we move through the grades we eventually arrive at grade 6. This is a very special year because we are the oldest of the school. We get out grade six jumpers and we have a fairwell at the end of the year. Everything in grade six seems to run smoothly for many off us but at the end of the day after our goodbyes there is one realisation that can not be avoided. I am going to be in high school next year.
