Advantage fans? Australian Open to introduce 'super tiebreakers'Final set marathons at the Australian Open are a thing of the past after the grand slam abandoned advantage sets for next month's tournament. Some of the most memorable games i can remember have contravened this rule, think roddick vs el aynaoui or nadal v djokovic final. Absolutely shocking decision, although doesnt surprise me with how poorly Tennis Australia operates and 'consults' So what you’re getting is less tennis overall. Why would any paying fan want this? sport At last common sense prevails. Unbelievably unfair on the advancing player in his next match. A 4-5 hour 5 set epic is great but doesn't need to go hours beyond that. Good decision

Baby powder asbestos revelations open door for Australian lawsuitsRevelations that international pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that asbestos lurked in its baby powder has opened the door for local law firms to take on the giant for Australian victims that may have been exposed to the toxic powder. It might be asbestos-free now but what about the past 40 odd years? I think it’s BS! If there were dangerous levels of anything in talc, there would be stats of those affected & killed. & considering how widespread the use J&Js talc is, the body count should be in the millions! Without Victims there’s no case!

My nan used to douse me and my siblings in this when we got out of the bath when we were little If this is the case its disgusting. Why in the hell would you replace cheap chalk with asbestos, its not as soft. I dont see how ovarian cancer could be caused as its a lung issue? If true, i hope the bastards that made the decision die from asbestosis in pain like my friends did
