How Can Businesses Contribute To The Local Community?

Image
 Hello all, Businesses are often viewed as revenue thirsty entities. However, they forget that these entities are the biggest contributors to local economies. As a small business owner, I know how much my business has helped my community to grow. We have been innovating and developing new products that have given rise a wide range of products that are used by the locals. Also, we have ensured that competition is healthy and there is no monopoly which maintains the prices in the region. We are far more sustainable than large businesses that are known for their carbon emissions. Here is an article that will help you understand this better. https://www.business2sell.com.au/blogs/strategy/how-can-businesses-contribute-to-the-local-community

What is inflation? What causes it? And who has been hit the hardest? Your questions answered

Image
 There's no sugar-coating it: Inflation is soaring to new highs. From rising interest rates to increased petrol prices, there are implications for your hip pocket. But what causes inflation?

Inflation measures how much more expensive a set of goods and services has become over a certain period of time (usually a year). The most well-known indicator of this is the Consumer Price Index.

Renters under increasing strain as cost-of-living pressures bite across Australia

Image
 It's lucky Siobhan Joseph likes the cold, because she can't afford to turn on her heater. The 57-year-old is paying more than 80 per cent of her JobSeeker benefit on rent for her Marrickville home in Sydney's inner-west. Ms Joseph gets about $770 per fortnight from JobSeeker and other support payments, and spends about $600 of that on rent. "So I have about $174 left over for everything else," she said. Ms Joseph has had to learn how survive on a single income since the death of her husband in 2020, and the wider battle began against the rising cost of living.

 Olympic champion Jess Fox has earned one of her toughest World Cup canoeing triumphs, overcoming sickness to paddle to a third consecutive K1 crown in Slovenia. Last year's C1 champion at the Tokyo Olympics was left emotional after she fought against the odds to another victory despite falling ill before her K1 final on the Tacen whitewater course in Ljubljana. "Today's been a bit emotional because it's been a real mental battle," said the 28-year-old, who is considered to be one of the greatest canoe racers in history.

Rural road trip gives health students a taste of life and work in western NSW amid staff shortage

Image
 An educational road trip through regional NSW has challenged the perceptions and perspectives of 20 healthcare students — and may have changed the course, and location, of their future careers. It is a critical shift as rural Australia continues to struggle with a decades-long health worker shortage. First year medical student Christopher Katsinas said while growing up, living or working rurally was not even on his radar. Now, thanks to a program organised by the Rural Doctors Network (RDN), he may just change his mind. "The learning opportunities in a rural health are unparalleled to the scope you'd see in a metro hospital, because you're exposed to so much more, you can do so much more," he said.

Native forest logging to continue as NSW North Coast Wood Supply Agreements extended

 The NSW Agriculture Minister has signalled the government has no plans to phase out logging of native hardwood in state forests. The state government announced a five-year extension of North Coast Wood Supply Agreements last week. Minister Dugald Saunders said all agreements due to end next year had been renewed in order to provide "certainty" for the industry to "invest in their businesses". The agreements cover the area spanning from the Mid North Coast to the Queensland border, and include state forests in Dorrigo, Wauchope, Kempsey, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Taree, Wingham, Gloucester, Glenn Innes and Casino.

NSW gaming regulator finds Blackstone 'suitable' to hold licence for Sydney casino

Image
 Corporate equity giant Blackstone is a step closer to its takeover of Crown Resorts after gaming regulators in NSW and Victoria ruled it was "suitable" to hold a casino licence.  The approval means Blackstone has passed a crucial test in its bid to own and operate Crown's Sydney casino at Barangaroo. NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Chairperson Philip Crawford said Blackstone had been subjected to an extensive probity assessment. "The probity assessment has also resulted in certain persons being approved to become "close associates" of Crown Sydney," he said.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-09/crown-takeover-blackstone-suitable-for-casino-licence/101137822
