Microsoft has released a security patch for all versions of Internet Explorer, fixing a critical vulnerability.
The vulnerability is known to be targeted by cyber criminals. If you use Internet Explorer, you should ensure you have applied this update as soon as possible.
Most Internet Explorer users should receive the update automatically.
You can check this by going to Tools > About Internet Explorer, and selecting the ‘Install new versions automatically’ check box.
The vulnerability could be exploited if an attacker can gain access to your computer, or if you visit a malicious website using one of the affected versions of Internet Explorer.
It is also worthwhile considering installing more than one internet browser on your computer. If a vulnerability is identified in one browser, you then have the option to use another temporarily.
A victory against greedy grubby bureaucrats who seem to think with what they sit on or maybe that because that where their heads are up their ????
North Queensland investors appealed the Mackay Regional Council decision, according to SBS, after extra levies for investors were also introduced in areas such as Rockhampton, Mount Isa, Brisbane and Logan.
According to The Morning Bulletin, the Council are looking to review the judgment, which may set precedence for these other areas. The difference in the rate systems, however, make this difficult to ascertain.
The judge ruled that the issue is not whether the Council's assumptions are flawed but whether the statute permits the Council to categorise land for differential rating purposes by reference to the occupation of it by the owner.
"In my opinion it does not," the judge explained.
"To justify the categorisation the Council impermissibly took into account characteristics personal to the owners of the land and failed to restrict itself to characteristics of the subject land itself.
"It is simply a misuse of language to claim that the owner’s decision to reside on land, or not, is in some way a characteristic of the land."
