- Nick Whitlam quits as NRMA Insurance chairman in a bid to protect shareholders from the damaging effects of infighting in Australia's largest general insurer.

- Labor MP Mark Latham will bring "direct democracy" to voters in his Werriwa electorate by enabling them to tell him via the internet how to vote on issues.

- Parents should wait until their babies are 18 months old before putting them in swimming classes as they are vulnerable in shallow water and prone to infections from public pools.
