THE CATS appear to have borrowed a play from the black art of politics to announce their $250,000-plus loss.

HERE’S something you don’t see every day - free parking. Well, not weekdays in Geelong at any rate. The Yuletide spirit must have warmed someone's kind heart to post a note on a CBD meter, saying: "Use this money for parking - please just take what you need & one day pay it forward. Merry Christmas.“. And merry Christmas to you, too.

The circa-1880s Port Melbourne investment property was listed as renting for $700 a week. Cats skipper Joel Selwood also auctioned his Geelong West property recently. Here's hoping the real estate deals don’t foreshadow any further player movement.

VIVA Energy's purchase of a non-controlling stake in fuel distributor Liberty Oil will safegaurd jobs at Corio's refinery, according to Viva's chief executive officer. The Liberty purchase was part of a wider program to build demand and improve the outlook for the refinery, Scott Wyatt said yesterday. “Liberty is one of our largest customers and this investment means we can further supply regional Victorians with locally made fuel from Geelong.

Liberty founding co-partner David Goldberger welcomed the acquisition. “Liberty has ambitious plans to accelerate national growth and we're very happy to welcome Viva Energy as a shareholder,” he said.
