Regional News and The Daily Telegraph
One of the things I enjoy most about going home is watching the local NBN news or reading the local paper.
Seldom is either filled with anything more gruesome than a car crash on the Pacific Highway (not that a highway crash isn't very terrible mind you) or the latest thunder storm to roll across the land.
Indeed the "Police Beat" section of the local Paper which details the ill doings of locals and tourists will usually contain nothing worse than someone's wallet being stolen or someone being caught doing 15km/h over the speed limit.
Coming back to Sydney is therefore sometimes a real downer as picking up any of the real papers here (SMH, The Australian, Fin review) will see rapists, killers, bashings, robberies and World Turmoil jumping off the pages.
That's way sometimes I will have a look at The Women's Weekly sorry I mean The Daily Telegraph every now and then. According to the "Tele", the big news items of the day desperately needing our attention are not the outcomes of World Trade Summits or the ominous threat presented by organised international terrorists but rather how Delta Goodrem had her hair cut or today's example on how the Pom's cheat at Rugby.
So if ever you can't get out of Sydney for a holiday, just pick up the Telegraph. It's the next best thing.
