Home boys fly the flag as Redoute's Choice races away with first premiershipTHE 2005-06 season, which ended on Monday, proved what a great line-up of colonially bred stallions Australasia has to offer, with seven home-breds among the top 10 sires and magnificent results for several exciting freshman sires. Redoute's Choice has been the benchmark stallion, winning his first champion sire of Australasia title, with a $1.8 million margin, as well as being the leading sire of two-year-olds for the season. He led for most of the past four months and never looked like being headed, with Encosta De Lago filling the quinella. Encosta De Lago supplied more winners than any other stallion with 128 individual winners of 227 races. New Zealand-based Zabeel finished third in the overall stallions' lists ahead of Makybe Diva's sire Desert King, which no longer shuttles overseas. read more.

Bags full of possibilities for job creationJOB creation is often seen as requiring big projects, massive capital outlay or state intervention. Business and government overlook opportunities in the so-called second economy. Instead of pouring money into job creation, why not support and expand existing markets created by the entrepreneurial instincts of poor people? An excellent example of this is the Johannesburg cross-border retail trade sector, where more than half a million people are coming into the city each year to shop, bringing in between R15bn and R20bn a year. Figures from South African Tourism indicate that one third, or R15,7bn, of the total spend by domestic and international tourists in SA in 2004 was in Johannesburg. Of this, R5,7bn, or more than one-third, was from regional shoppers travelling overland to SA. read more.

Expat Australians welcome Howard's bid for fifth termDubai: Australians living in the UAE have welcomed the news that their long-serving Prime Minister John Howard is to seek another term in office. Howard announced this week he would remain leader of the Liberal party and contest elections scheduled for late 2007. His decision dashed the hopes of finance minister and deputy PM Peter Costello, who claimed recently that Howard now into his fourth term as Prime Minister had promised to step down after two terms. Howard's time in office has been characterised by economic prosperity, but his foreign policy such as his support for the Iraq War and socially conservative views have alienated some voters. Geoff Wheatley, 63, chairman of the Australian Business in the Gulf Group, said 67-year-old Howard's decision to contest the next election was "to be applauded". read more.Our enthusiasm for the issue of Tax Jobs In Dubai has developed over time.
