Mat Beyer MasterChef cheating scandal

Mat Beyer has apparently been kicked off MasterChef for cheating. Mat was eliminated for using his mobile phone which is against the rules of the show. Mat had the phone for about six weeks while appearing on the show. The use of a mobile phone is against the MasterChef rules as it could be used to gain access to recipes that could assist the contestant. Apparently a previously eliminated contestant has been asked to return to the show to take Mat's place. The producer of the show is refusing to comment on the events surrounding Mats elimination as there are some shows that are yet to be aired that will still feature Mat. The show that will feature Mats elimination will be aired in about a month.

AAMI Closing all branches

Insurance company AAMI will be closing all of it's branches in the next 2 months. Staff from the 24 branches were told earlier this week that they had just two months left before they were out of a job. With budget constraints and a shift to online and telephone service the move has come as no surprise to industry analysts. Research conducted by the company showed overwhelmingly that visiting branches was not the way that customers wanted to do business with AAMI and it was discovered that only 2% of income was generated from face to face business in branches. AAMI says that this is not an effort to simply cut costs but rather the next step in the evolution of their business. AAMI is doing everything it can for the staff effected.
