Where does the time go?

The latest ABS Time Use Survey looks at how much unpaid work gets done in a week, and what we do when we find ourselves with spare time.

Change for good

Households that have been on the same electricity plan for more than three years are paying on average $221 per year more than customers on new plans, the ACCC’s latest Electricity Market Inquiry report has revealed.

While the report shows that the number of customers on their retailer’s best plan has increased, millions of Australians are still paying more than they need to be.

Smart play, Lego

For the builders among us who have time to play, Lego has launched Smart Play, a standard Lego brick with a tiny computer embedded inside.

Critically, the bricks need no internet connectivity, artificial intelligence or cameras, but rather offer effects: lightsabers will hum, engines roar, and spacecraft will emit blaster fire.

Rural, with a roar

Ah, the serenity! Most people who buy rural property have a dream of living with nature, swapping the roar of traffic for the sounds of birds calling and lambs bleating.

For those who find silence deafening, however, there is Pheasant Wood Circuit, located between Sydney and Canberra. For around $10m, it offers a 4-br house together with 1.6 kilometre certified motorsport racetrack, race control tower, workshop and garages.
