Image
As the console wars begin heating up again, it is easy to forget some facts about the world of gaming. Consoles have their place, and they are great for the general public. For serious gamers, however, there is no comparison to the gaming PC. With machines designed specifically for gaming, you can spend as much as you like on a tricked-out PC or laptop to meet your gaming needs. When you want to go toe-to-toe with the competition, you need the best hardware you can find. The best possible performance Professional athletes choose their gear based on the sport they play.

The federal government's approval of a 5.6% increase in health premiums has fuelled controversy and debate and is set to put households under more financial pressure in the coming year. The increase, dubbed by the Health Minister as "modest", translates into a $1.70 increase per week for a single person and $3.70 more for a family. Health Minister Tanya Plibersek says that, by comparison, the increase for consumers is significantly lower than the 9.3% increase being shouldered by insurance companies. The increase is slightly higher than last year's 5.06% hike and will be implemented from April.
