Some success, but still stumbling blocks on path to pay equity

The Pay Equity Coalition is claiming victory after the government commits to make it easier for employees to make pay equity claims - but they're not expecting overnight changes.
EXTENDED BODY:
The push for pay equity took another step forward yesterday when the Government committed to changing the law.
The changes will make it easier for employees who believe they are underpaid because they work in fields dominated by women to approach their employer to raise a pay equity claim.
But there are still questions about whether a law change will make a real difference, and how it might be implemented.

Cane toad sausages on the menu
BODY:
Cane toad sausages are being trialled to try to prevent wild animals from chowing down on the toxic amphibians as they spread across Australia.
EXTENDED BODY:
Cane toad sausages are being trialled to try to prevent wild animals from chowing down on the toxic amphibians as they spread across Australia.
The toads have become a major invasive threat to Australian wildlife since they were introduced to Queensland in the 1930s to control the sugar-cane beetle.
The toxic toads have been marching across the country at a rate of about 50kms a year.
The toad-meat sausages are being used in a taste-aversion therapy trial in Western Australia. Wild animals are being given the snarlers laced with a salt chemical that will make them feel sick, teaching them to steer clear of them.
Corrin Everitt from Western Australia's Department of Parks and Wildlife told Nine to Noon the programme has previously been successfully trialled with captive animals in the Northern Territories.
Goannas, lizards, snakes and a species of native cat called the northern quoll are susceptible to being poisoned by the toads, she says.

Who's Who in the Whovian's Who-niverse?

For those hungry for the hard facts behind the time and space traveling adventures of a certain Gallifreyan Time Lord, help is at hand.
EXTENDED BODY:
For those hungry for the hard facts behind the time and space traveling adventures of a certain Gallifreyan Time Lord, help is at hand.
British science fiction author Simon Guerrier has written countless Dr Who books. His latest, Whographica, written with fellow Whovians Steve O'Brien and Ben Morris, uses infographics and visualisations to illustrate some ridiculous facts and fill in some gaps.
“Me and Steve, we live this stuff, this is a window into our brains. It’s nice to get it out there, and get it out of my head!”
Guerrier, a self-described “classically-trained nerdy Dr Who fan”, says despite being an expert on the Doctor and his world, there were new things to discover.
He even took night classes in astronomy to better help him understand the Whoniverse.
“I was one of those students who was never any good at science at school and did my best to ignore it.”
This newfound knowledge has allowed the authors to pinpoint – the Doctor’s home planet, Gallifrey.
“We think if you look out towards the constellation of Sagittarius it’s on the far side of the middle of the Milky Way - we provide the coordinates in the book.”
So what else can the committed Whovian glean from the book?
The evolution of the daleks and their odd allegiances, particularly with the cybermen. Daleks made their first appearance on Dr Who in 1963 and have been an audience favourite ever since.
“They really put Dr Who on the map, and every time they come back you see a spike in ratings.”
Also, did you know the Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) appears in all but nine episodes of the series?
Dr Who’s script writers have proven remarkably prescient, says Guerrier, with early episodes featuring videophones, icecanos (yes, they’re a thing) extinction by meteor strike and computers talking to other computers down a phone line.
And what does he believe is the enduring appeal of Doctor Who?
“It makes the ordinary world much more interesting and much more strange and peculiar.”

[gallery:2736]
It's taller than a two-story house, weighs 3.5 tonnes and took more than 1200 hours to build. It's a Christmas tree and it's made of LEGO. The giant tree is made of more than 500,000 LEGO bricks, making it the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
Ryan McNaught is a LEGO professional - and is known as the Brick Man. He uses lego to create sculptures, historical dioramas, architectural &engineering models, as well as mosaics. And he's in New Zealand helping build the big tree.
1:35 Critter of the Week: Nudibranchs
DoC's threatened species ambassador, Nicola Toki talks about the Nudibranch - which means naked gill.
There are around 80 species found of nudibranchs found in New Zealabd waters. They are molluscs, belonging to the gastropod family, along with snails, paua and limpets). A nudibranch is also known as a sea slug, and they are essentially gastropods that have little or no shell (or lose it at early stages of development).
