Some feedback on the White Hat Website

"this site is fantastic, easiest way to see what is going on around town"

"We (myself, husband and 5 and 8 yo) decide to take your advice {in the White Hat newsletter] on Sunday and headed into the city using our Sunday Saver tickets. We didn't quite make to The Potter as we got side-tracked visiting The Magic Tent at the Art Centre, followed by a visit to The Ian Potter Centre where the kids took part in the NGV's Biggest (Kids) Drawing Ever. We now have to make sure we go back in Sept for them to see the finished product. We then caught the tram to Gasworks where we had a lovely time talking to Children's Illustrator Ann James. My daughters were thrilled to be read a book which doesn't go on the shelves for months yet (they were told they only about the 10th people to hear it) and then we had a leisurely browse of the bookshop while the rain poured down outside. The girls chose a book each, raced back up the stairs to get Ann James to sign the one illustrated by her, and then we finished with hot drinks in the cafe and a look at some of the artwork. A great way to spend a rainy day and it cost us very little."

"I have just stumbled across your website and I love it! It’s so good to have all that’s on in Melbourne on one site. Thank you."

"I like getting all this info...it's easier using your web site and email than searching What's On in Melbourne via Google - ( search by date? by subject? - if you know all that you don't need to search, that's why White Hat is good)."

"The White Hat site is amazing - I can't believe how many things happen in this city that I don't take full advantage of! I have a friend visiting from Brisbane in a fortnight's time, and this site has helped me with dozens of ideas for what to do while he's here. Keep up the excellent work!"

FOOD & WINE NEWS
White Hat criticism of Grocery Choice vindicated?

In August 2008 the Australian Government launched its Grocery Choice website as part of an election promise which it said would combat grocery price rises by publicising individual item price comparisons between major distributors. White Hat believed to model was flawed from the start and gave our reasons in the strong criticism we in our food newsletter published two days after the launch of the site. In June, the Australian Government suddenly and unexpectedly terminated the scheme. You can read White Hat's initial criticisms which could also prove useful in the implementation of any future scheme at The White Hat Food Newsletter of August 2008.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
White Hat helps change government policy on recycling of long life light bulbs

In the White Hat Environment Newsletter of April 2009 we warned of the gangers of sending compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) to landfill. Since that time, the government has changed its policy and we believe that White Hat had an influence. read more >>
