A quick look at the Gnus of the day
The Federal Government will meet the heads of Australia’s top sporting codes on Friday to discuss a new plan to curb binge drinking.
The Government wants sporting clubs to become more involved in educating young people about the dangers of alcohol abuse.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has invited representatives from the governing bodies of rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules, cricket, netball and soccer to the meeting.
"An Alice Springs backpacker hostel may face legal action after it turned away a group of Indigenous people because of their skin colour."
"They checked into the Haven Backpackers resort, but a short time later the manager told them that guests already staying there had complained of being scared."
The manager of the hostel said that as well the backpackers, patrons of the adjoining business, "Melly Noma's Tanning Centre" were also scared by the skin colour of the indigenous persons.
