Welcome
to the sixth edition, of a tradition. Five years ago this month, Seven last won
a week at 5:30 at night in SEQ: (Kuttsy’s Pitch ignores any claim by Seven that
this drought was broken in late May this year due to the poor ratings
performance both before and after Million Dollar Minute had repeatedly tried to give away their
top prize), and most critically, today being 5000 days since the end of Seven’s only major attempt to try and steal Extra’s audience with a original local product in late 2000: Local Edition. Accordingly, this post is published 5000 days to the minute the final episode of LE finished: not August 20, like in past years.

Are we there yet? GC 2018 Commonwealth Games transport.
Is SEQ headed #offtherails in four years? This piece
explains how a Public Transport disaster during the Commonwealth Games in 2018
can be averted, along with some future solutions as part of a greater legacy.
In 2012, this site had a remarkably successful piece, on how
difficult the task will be on awarding host broadcasting rights for the Gold
Coast Commonwealth Games, in 2018. And it got me thinking for the best part of
two years: What else is needed? Obviously, as we are officially on the road to
2018 as of today’s handover ceremony: surely, it’s time to start thinking about
how we are literally going to get there…
