Exclusive: Rugby Australia’s search for a new chief executive has been put on hold with interim boss Rob Clarke set to stay until at least March | tomdecent

Clarke, the former Brumbies and Melbourne Rebels boss who was also chief operating officer at the Australian Rugby Union , stepped into the top job in May following the acrimonious departure of Raelene Castle.

Recruitment firm Hattonneale had compiled a shortlist of candidates but, given Clarke will now stick around for another three months, those eyeing the chance to run rugby will have to wait a little longer. “We’ve seen lots of good candidates, but I’ve always said there’s no rush and considering the amount of work we need to do with the Rugby Championship and launching the new competition next year, Rob has kindly agreed to stay through until March next year,” McLennan said. “We’re making huge progress and having a few laughs while we bring it all together.

Adani declares victory over activists and says it has protected traditional heritage siteAdani chief executive David Boshoff says the company has 'proved our opponents wrong' by constructing the Carmichael mine and employing 1,500 people. Well done Adani! Hmmm... we have a scorching sun, blustering winds, why on earth do we need more coal? Does still fact check? Jobs claims by Adani have previously been disproven in court. This reads like a national broadcaster has published an article straight from an Adani media release.

Sole traders accounting for majority of jobs added | Sky News AustraliaInvestSMART’s Evan Lucas says if you take out sole traders and micro-businesses there were only 2,100 jobs added where an employee was employed by an employer.\n\nAugust’s unemployment rate defied expectations and came in at 6.8 per cent.\n\nTotal full-time jobs added totalled 36,200 and part-time was 74,800.\n\n“So that is the takeout on the full-time side, part-time jobs were a bit different,” Mr Lucas told Sky News.\n\n“Sole trading can be almost anything, what they’re also suggesting is it’s actually online services that have really boomed in August.\n\n“That is why yesterday was so incredible.”\n How many jobs created by public versus private sector? Also, Governments will change “again” the definition of unemployment soon. Mark my words 10% unemployment WILL be the new normal. The more relevant / reliable measure going forward should be Number of Hours Worked.

There is plenty to see in Queensland, 'the 'nothing to see', is job growth': Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says Queensland officials are pretending many jobs were being created in their state, when really, of the 36,000 new full-time jobs created around the country, only 179 of those were in Queensland. \n\nAustralia’s unemployment rate has fallen significantly to 6.8 per cent for the month of August, with more than 36,000 full time jobs added in that time.\n\nMr Murray said the unemployment rate in Queensland was at 7.5 and only 179 full time jobs had been created in the last month. \n\n“179 jobs, that’s all the Queensland government has been able to create while simultaneously destroying their economy by using the borders as a political tool to save their backsides at an election,” Mr Murray said. \n\n“These people are trying to tell you everything is fine. \n\nMr Murray said the Queensland government was like Leslie Nielson in The Naked Gun movie, standing in front of an exploding building saying, “there’s nothing to see here”.\n\n“There’s plenty to see here, the nothing to see here is full time job growth,” He said.\n \n“179 people, that’s it.”\n the usual midnight Sky dribble...its like a lullaby to me now..zzzzz Where do these figures come from?
