New site helps older Aussies save big on electricity bills

Electricity is a vital expense for many older Australians, who are doing what they can to save on costs. 

No matter how diligent you are about turning off the lights and using energy-efficient appliances, sometimes it seems like the bills keep getting higher.

 

Thanks to a new comparison service, mature Aussies now have another way to save on electricity, and it could be the most effective method of all.

New comparison service ElectricityandGas.com.au is taking power away from the electricity industry and put-ting it back in the hands of consumers.

 

Now Australians can compare name-brand electricity providers all in one place, saving them time and money.

Lady Gaga to fund classroom projects in communities impacted by mass shootings

In El Paso, Texas, there are books for third-grade students, many of whom have none at home. Disabled students in Dayton, Ohio, will get bouncy chairs to help calm them for learning. Science kits will go to fifth graders in Gilroy, California.

Those are just three of a series of local classroom initiatives that Grammy-winning singer Lady Gaga has pledged to fund as students in those shaken communities, the latest U.S. cities to endure mass shootings, go back to school this week.

Her aim is to bring a measure of hope to places devastated by an extraordinary week of mass shootings in a country numbed by a steady beat of news about gun violence.

"I want to channel my confusion, frustration, and fury into hope," Gaga said on Facebook, where she announced the donation from her Born This Way Foundation in partnership with nonprofit DonorsChoose.

Auckland Grammar student James Hunt takes school to court after stand-down for long hair

An Auckland Grammar student is taking his school to court after he was punished for not cutting his hair.

James Hunt, who is in Year 9, was stood down for a day last week after refusing to cut his hair. The school's rules state that students' hair must not touch the collar.

James last cut his hair in January to allow him to begin school. The 13-year-old wore his hair long in memory of his grandfather Paul Hunt, who died a day before he was born and was once expelled from school for his long hair.

James has employed lawyer Jol Bates to challenge Auckland Grammar's rule. Bates successfully defended St John's College student Lucan Battison in 2014 after the then-16 year-old was suspended for long hair.
