Read all So many of us depend on 24 hour news channels for all the information we need to get on with our lives...

New industrial relations laws took hold in March, as unions joined the Federal Opposition and state governments in a vow to fight implementing the legislation. As Prime Minister John Howard celebrated 10 years in office in March, he disappointed Treasurer Peter Costello who said the Prime Minister promised him 12 years ago to hand over the leadership crown to him before two terms were up. Business In the second-biggest share offer in Australian history behind the T2 sale seven years ago, the Federal Government finally gave the green light for the third sell-off of Telstra shares.
T3 shares began trading on the Australian Stock Exchange in November. The Government parked the remaining 17 per cent of Telstra stock into the Future Fund to sell down over time. Many Australians felt the pinch of three interest rate rises during this year, with the final Reserve Bank decision for 2006 setting the financial climate at 6. Farewells Australia reeled with shock as it lost two icons in the same week in September - conservationist and self-proclaimed "wildlife warrior" Steve Irwin and motor racing legend "king of the mountain" Peter Brock. Celebrities, friends and family mourned the death of actress Belinda Emmett , wife of entertainer Rove McManus, who lost her long battle against cancer in November.
Courage Australians marvelled at the incredible survival of two miners, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, trapped for 14 days in May in a steel cage after a mine collapse in Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania. But the rescue was tinged with sadness by the death of third miner, Larry Knight. The story took another tragic and ironic turn as television journalist Richard Carleton died at the scene covering the event for the 60 Minutes program. In that same month, Australian climber Lincoln Hall was miraculously found alive on Mount Everest , but fellow climber Sue Fear was lost after falling down a crevasse in Nepal. Celebrities As usual, the rich and famous grabbed their share of memorable moments in 2006.
One was former House majority leader Tom DeLay who resigned after being charged with campaign finance crimes. Another was former representative Mark Foley.

The programme also claimed to have set up a sting involving handing a cash payment to an unnamed Premiership manager, but the alleged manager did not turn up at the rendezvous. When the Israeli international moved to England, agent Jamie Hart — the official middle man — was paid a fee by Bolton.

On 20 September, The Football Association asked the BBC to provide all of the collected evidence and announced that it would investigate these allegations.

Kevin Bond: said that he intended to sue the BBC for libel. In response, Bond issued a statement claiming that Newcastle had sacked him without investigating properly. Kevin Bond filed legal papers against the BBC, but withdrew the libel action, 8 days before the trial was set to commence.
There was a complete lack of substance and evidence, and if the BBC has any hard evidence it should give it to the Football Association. On 20 December 2006, Stevens presented his preliminary report, which found that while the level of corruption within English football was not as high as had been anticipated, there were several causes for concern. In summary, the report stated: "there is no evidence of any irregular payments to club officials or players, and they are identified only as a consequence of the outstanding issues the inquiry has with the agents involved".
Ashdod — 24 August 2004 Julio Correia Free transfer from Real Valladolid — 25 July 2004 There were also unanswered concerns regarding the involvement of Craig Allardyce in a number of transactions. There was an initial failure to disclose his involvement in a number of transfers but, more seriously, he has failed to provide the inquiry with complete bank statements due to the confidential nature of them.
