seat - by seeking to thwart the forced amalgamation of councils in Kevin Rudd's home state
of Queensland. David Jones took its 530 guests on a sartorial journey last night, creating
a mini French Riviera for its summer 2007 launch.

Page 2: Epping Road motorists should brace for long traffic snarls later this month,
as three lanes on the northern suburbs artery are gradually restricted to one under a
deal struck to increase patronage in the Lane Cove Tunnel.

Page 3: The $8 billion contract for Sydney's next generation of trains has descended
into farce after the project's chief executive quit without explanation after just six
months in the job.

World: Russia has been accused of launching an air strike in an "act of aggression"

against neighbouring Georgia.

Business: A parliamentary committee's recommendations for tweaking the superannuation
industry have been lambasted by industry super funds, which argue that problems associated
with commission-based selling of financial products have been ignored.
