An astonishing cost has been put into fighting cybercrime in Australia, and it was as much as burglary and assault. This deemed to be a very serious problem happening on the Internet. Even though there are not strict regions for the web, people in Australia are impacted by the severe crime happening on the Internet. Since countering this kind of crime associates with a large productivity and time, not to mention other factors like people's responsibility to behave when surfing the web, as well as the government and companies attitude towards the size of the severity, it indicate we have to change and we have to act to avoid being a victim of a crime like this. They suggest users to install Anti-virus and firewalls to safeguard their computers.

Allowing Nauru and Manus offshore processing, while Tony Abbott disses "Malaysian solution" [The Australian]
I might be off about this one since I still don't really understand the complexity of this asylum seeker issue, but the coalition has considered they would allow asylum seeker processing on Nauru and Manus Island. However, the Malaysian solution as rejected by the High Court are still being on hiatus. Julia Gillard, while coming back from the Pacific Islands Forum in New Zealand earlier, will have to take charge of the unsolved mess as it is predicted that more asylum seeker will be arrived in the coming few days. But in the same time if we simply ban offshore processing for asylum seekers, the detention centres in Australia will soon be full and quickly overwhelmed. The article also mentioned about officials warning of unrest happening in the UK and Paris, where they processed asylum seeker differently from Australia, which could damage the support of multiculturalism.
Gold Coast business leader warns about 'Racism' threatening Chinese tourist boom [Courier Mail]
While Gold Coast is having a blast as a lot of Chinese tourists are visiting them, the chairman of Gold Coast Tourism has warned that locals "still need to overcome some of the feeling about having a lot of Asians in our city." Seeing Chinese tourists are apparently conquering places all over the world, and during these times, some people might think the Chinese are too much too handle. Sure, that would be racist if you try to ignore them, or even not providing service whenever tourists ask for it. But the consequence might be Chinese tourists being treated as crap. If they have a bad impression of Gold Coast, they probably won't come again and won't recommend to their friends. Slowly, the visitors count will slide down, and apparently, as a tourist city, Gold Coast cannot lose this chance. But even as a Chinese myself I think Chinese tourist are just a bunch of obnoxious people. Some of them are doing outrageous things in the public, like yelling and spitting, I've heard someone brought their kids to the sink and do their business there back in Hong Kong's Disneyland! I've seen plenty of them back in Hong Kong, so I don't really have a good impression to them as well.
