The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
You know those skill-testing cranes at pubs, the ones that allow you to win a plush toy or chocolate bar? Well brewer Carlton Draught has built a ten storey one at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to allow those travelling to the Australian Rules Football finals a chance to really test their skills.
It will be a pretty impressive piece of engineering technology, and it is being erected next to the home of Australian Rules Football, the MCG. It’s the Magnatron!
Modelled on the pub-based entertainment machine, the Magnatron is features a 30 metre crane with an 18 metre base enclosure, which will be filled with AU$100,000 in prizes, including a Toyota HiLux, a 10 year AFL Grand Final hospitality package and $5,000 cash from a one-of-a kind Carlton Draught ATM.
“The Carlton Draught Magnatron will blow you away,” said Vincent Ruiu, Carlton group marketing manager. “The Magnatron magnet alone weighs nearly ¾ of a tonne and is nearly a metre wide. We can’t wait to set it up, see it standing tall next to the MCG and watch as the winners takes their turn at grabbing hold of the prizes.”
Fourteen lucky winners will have the chance to test their skills, using the Magnatron to swivel, slide and drop down to collect their share of the $100,000 prize pool by placing the crane arm and the magnet into position, before sending it downwards to clasp on their prize and remove it from the enclosure.
Australians can enter in two ways: on-pack and on-air. The contestants will be made up of prize winners selected from the Carlton Draught on-pack promotion and via an on-air radio contest with Austereo Melbourne.
