Indian anthropologist and researcher Dr Raghavendra Rao and his team have published a study claiming Australian Aborigines arrived via India from Africa.

The Indian government backed Anthropological Survey of India project found unique genetic mutations were shared between modern-day Indians and Aborigines, suggesting Australia’s indigenous people had once spent time on the sub-continent.

Dr Rao suggests an early dispersal of biologically and behaviorally modern humans from their African origins to Australia, by at least 45 thousand years via southern Asia by studies based on morphology, archaeology and genetics.

Saw the movie Red Cliff on Sunday night.

Expected to see a boring foreign film with historical value, but was genuinely surprised.

John Woo’s epic is definitely worth a watch and may well beat that other classic Crouching Tiger.

The movie is based in the late 200′s AD and is the story of war and consolidation of fiefdoms. There is a parallel story of a villain’s quest for another’s wife.

It is already the biggest box-office hit in China where it was released in two parts.

Exciting Perth Wildcats signing Jesse Wagstaff has played a starring role in Australia’s 85-79 victory over China at the World University Games.

The win was Australia’s first from three games in Belgrade and Wagstaff scored 27 points in the six-point triumph in the qualifying round of Group M.

Wagstaff also collected eight rebounds to show the tremendous all-round form that has Wildcats coach Rob Beveridge confident that he can make an impact in the NBL this season.

Following is press release from the High Court detailing the ruling.

Today the High Court decided that two professional footballers, David Spriggs and Mark Riddell, who paid fees to managers to negotiate player contracts, sponsorships and other income earning activities on their behalf, may claim those fees as deductions on their income tax returns.
