Son’s roadside horror
NEWS.com.au – Sep 28, 2006
"You don’t believe something like this can happen. "
Mr Luciano said he believed the split-second decision by Kevin to travel with him had probably saved his life. "I asked him to jump in with me so he wouldn’t be so squashed with Mum and Dad, and to keep me company," he said. Kevin was his parents’ only child and the centre of their universe, Mr Luciano said. The Millards had recently bought a self-storage business in Portland, and were enthusiastic about helping their son run his fledgling enterprise, Kev’s Kart Parts. Sprint-kart official Dennis King, who runs the Dubbo event, said the racing community was in mourning for the popular couple and the championships, which began yesterday and finish on Sunday, would be a sombre event.

EU antitrust chief calls for energy companies to split network to…

However, two recent antitrust rulings by national authorities showed that integrated energy companies find it hard to introduce and maintain a glass wall between the businesses they own. “We have indications that legal unbundling has not prevented information flows between network and supply units,” she said. “All these examples strengthen the case for moving towards ownership unbundling and this is something I will definitely discuss with my colleagues in the coming months. ” She said it was “crazy” for one part of Europe to fear energy blackouts during cold snaps or heat waves when underused energy supplies were available elsewhere in the region. “People still think of national solutions rather than look to the advantages which operating on a European scale can offer in terms of bargaining power,” she said. Kroes and EU energy chief Andris Piebalgs will publish parallel reports in January on how well the EU gas and electricity markets are working. Kroes said the antitrust angle would cover liquified natural gas or LNG, the retail electricity market and power exchanges.
