This week the State Government announced a trial of a Banned Drinkers Register (BDR) in the Kimberley, with a similar trial having just begun in the Pilbara. 

IF you're in these regions and want to buy take-away alcohol, you're going to have to show ID, with a scanner alerting the cashier if they can make a purchase.

Forgot your ID? You’re out of luck.

The register has been referred to as a harm minimization tool, designed to tackle anti-social behaviour and reduce domestic violence fuelled by alcohol.

Scantek is a Perth company who have been given the task of rolling out these scanning machines and their Managing Director Ches Rafferty joined the weekend to explain how it all works.

Even if you love your job we’re all susceptible to the back-to-work blues.

If you’re finding you have a lack of motivation, are struggling to concentrate or finding you’re a little directionless after time off, you’re not alone.

In fact, worries about re-entry to the workplace are so genuine it is the very reason some of us refuse to take a holiday of more than a week.

Workplace and social affairs expert Professor Gary Martin talks you through how to get over the post-holiday blues.

If you’ve been down to the Claremont showgrounds, you might have spotted a bronze plaque on a Limestone Pillar near the oval.

Up until 2000, this site was the heart of Perth’s Motoring scene – from sprint cars to Super Sedans and motorcycle race.

There are few things more frustrating than getting a bad night’s sleep for no reason.

But it turns out a good night’s sleep might actually start in our kitchen and what we're eating!

But for the partners of many sport stars, this has been part of their life for many years - especially for cricketers.

Dr Katherine Iscoe talks with Karalee about the importance of making real changes, not just resolutions.
