One year ago, parts of Logan got smashed by some of the worst flooding seen in the area since 1974.

Susan Irvine is the Associate Professor of Early Childhood and Inclusive Learning at QUT and explains why pay is so low given that 70 per cent of takings are given to wages.

Two major bombshells in the world of sports broadcasting and sports sponsorship has rocked the nation.

Channel 9 has snatched the rights away from Channel 7 to the Australian Open in a 5 year $300 million deal.
