Faking it to keep him faithful

A new study has found that women are regularly faking orgasms to stop their partners from cheating. More than half of women surveyed for The Archieve of Sexual Behaviours admitted to doing so.

Women also admitted to dressing up nicely for a partner, keeping tabs of his movements and telling off other women who look at him.

Are Australia’s favourite duo breaking up?

Maybe not breaking up – but they’re at least in an open relationship. 2DayFM have announced Andy will pair up with comedian Glenn Robbins to host a summer breakfast show. Lee and Robbins will run the breakfast slot for 2 weeks from December 5, while regular breakfast hosts Kyle & Jackie O take a summer break. “The separation is not too foreign,” Lee said. “We always talk, but we don’t ask each other’s permission to do different things. If he’s doing a TV show or I’m doing a book we would always talk about it – but it’s not like we’re married and I want to go on a golf trip.” Hamish and Andy will be back together on Channel 9 together next year. Phew.

NSW student killed in school-yard fight

A school-yard fight has ended in tragedy after a 16-year-old boy died in NSW on Wednesday afternoon. Aaron Jones died after he was involved in a fight with another teen from Sarah Redfern High School in Minto. His mother Tracey said he had been bullied at school in the past. “Generally he was a good kid, he didn’t go around starting fights, he kept to himself,” she said. “I don’t want to see other parents in this position simply because kids think its OK to hit each other, it’s not.” “Please teach your kids that fighting doesn’t work,” she said.

No more Qantas strikes for four years

Qantas passengers can book their flights with confidence after unions vowed not to strike again. The Transport Workers’ Union – the union at the centre of the dispute – confirmed it would not challenge the decision by Fair Work Australia to terminate all industrial action. Last month, Qantas grounded its entire fleet and stranded thousands of passengers. “Our message to customers is that you can continue to book with Qantas with absolute confidence,” Qantas spokeswoman Olivia Wirth said.

Tax threat for parents who don’t immunise their children

Parents will risk losing up to $2100 if they don’t immunise their children, as part of major government shake up of the national immunisation program. From next July, parents will have to immunise their children under the six-stage program or risk losing three payments of $726 under family tax benefit A – paid when a child is fully immunised at ages 1, 2 and 5. Under the new scheme, children will have to be vaccinated against chicken pox, meningococcal C and pneumococcal. A new combination vaccine – for measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox – will also be added to the program.
