Dozens of people across the state keep tame foxes as pets - and are fearing a new "kill-all policy".

Dozens of people across the state own tame foxes that are considered as much a part of the family as any cat or dog.

Foxes are to be officially declared a pest species across NSW.

Fairfax Mediacan reveal a Local Land Services (European Red Fox) Pest Control Order 2014 will be gazetted by theNSW government in the next fortnight.

The decision follows a draft order released for public feedback in October, which attracted almost 1800 submissions the majority of which were in favour of the law being passed.

The order bringsNSWinto line with all other states and paves the way for the "co-ordinated control" of a feral species estimated to cost Australia's environment and economy more than $227 million annually. However, the law also signals the death knell for a registered charity called Sydney Fox Rescue which, for three years, has saved injured and orphaned fox cubs and, through various socialisation programs, successfully adopted them out as pets.

Dozens of people across the state own tame foxes that are considered as much a part of the family as any cat or dog. But those owners must now apply for a permit from Local Land Services to keep their animals. It will now be illegal to keep any new foxes in captivity. And by law, any fox cub that is found abandoned or injured in the future must be euthanised.

In a statement to be released on Monday, Minister for Primary IndustriesKatrinaHodgkinsondescribes the order as a move that will benefit "landowners and the wider community", adding: "Foxes are not companion animals this pest control order sends the clear message that they are pests, not pets."

Sydney Fox Rescue confirmed on Saturday that it lodged a proposal during the draft consultation phase for the inclusion of a "permit system" that would allow it to continue its work, and for people to continue keeping foxes privately.

Foxes fair game after pest declaration

A pest control order for foxes has been introduced in NSW, forcing pet owners to obtain a permit.

Cover your ears Fantastic Mr Fox - because foxes have been declared pests in NSW.

A pest control order for foxes has been introduced for the first time in the state, forcing pet owners to obtain a permit.

Local Land Services will co-ordinate a control scheme, allowing private land holders to bait or shoot the furry animals in localised campaigns.

Primary Industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson says the order means no new foxes can be acquired.

"Foxes are not companion animals. This pest control order sends the clear message that they are pests, not pets," she said in a statement.

Foxes cost the Australian environment and economy around $227.5 million, primarily because of the damage they cause for livestock producers, she said.

Extra vigilance for outdoor fires required

A restricted fire season for rural areas in the Auckland region will be implemented from 15 December. Lighting an outdoor fire on rural land is still possible but a permit is required for fires in the open air.

A total fire ban is now in place for all Hauraki Gulf Islands.

With summer on its way the days are growing longer and warmer which means fire risk increases. All outdoor fires need to be carefully managed to prevent the spread of fire.

Conditions are very windy for this time of year and last week there were a number of fire incidents around the region due to controlled burns getting out of control, says Auckland Council Principal Rural Fire Officer Bryan Cartelle.

Council will be issuing fire permits in Aucklands rural zones which include farms, forestry areas and large blocks of land. Permits are free of charge.

Auckland Council is introducing an Outdoor Fire Safety Bylaw to manage the risk of all outdoor fires in both rural and urban areas. The bylaw will continue with seasonal restrictions but also gives guidance on the types of fire and fuel allowed with an aim to protect people, property and the environment from the risk of fire. The bylaw is due to come into effect on 20 December.

For information on fire safety and tips for the safe lighting of open air fires call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 or visit aucklandcouncil/ruralfire.govt.nz

Anyone who sees a suspicious fire should call the fire service immediately on 111.

Extra vigilance for outdoor fires required

This September, A Mary, 47, got something she never thought she ever could -not a car or a home but a pension. A house help and a mother of two whose husband is a driver, Delhi-based Mary al ways viewed a pension as something only the affluent could afford -until her employer Kurt Strasser, a senior sector specialist at German development bank KfW, brought it within her reach.

Mary is a beneficiary of the Micro Pension Foundation's Gift-a-Pension initiative. Every month, Strasser gives her Rs.500 extra cash as part of her salary that she deposits in her pension account via one of the 2.5 lakh designated outlets.

The Micro Pension Foundation has tie-ups with companies such as Eko, ItzCash and PayWorld, and when Mary deposits the money at one of these outlets, it gets credited instantly, with an SMS confirmation. "Old-age care is a challenge facing India. Gift-a-Pension is an excellent initiative to make a pension product accessible to low income Indians," says Strasser.

At a time when the government is laying a thrust on financial inclusion, Gift-a-Pension demonstrates an efficient mechanism to deliver a financial product to India's poor. "It is a great initiative. No financial product today in India addresses this segment. High transaction costs for low-value products are a big deterrent. Micro Pension Foundation has done something that was difficult to do," says YSP Thorat, a former chairman of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and a board member of Micro Pension Foundation.

Gift-a-Pension is targeted at over 35 million domestic workers (maids, cooks, cleaners, drivers and the like) who earn enough to make ends meet but not enough to create a financial cushion for the autumns and winters of their lives.Whilst the facilitators of the scheme are employers, they don't need to worry about being weighed down by the scheme's financial and logistical burden.

The key role of the employers is at the beginning -understanding and explaining the product details and enabling online enrollment.Their co-contribution to the pension account is optional. And the product is structured such that illiterate workers can easily manage it even as they change employers and switch cities (see Fast Facts).

Sound Start

Launched in September, the response has been encouraging with over 1,000 employers registering so far. Over 350 have gifted a pension to their domestic help. Most of the enrollments are from Delhi National Capital Region (91%), with Bengaluru (5%) and Mumbai (4%) bringing in the rest, says Parul Khanna, associate director, Micro Pension Foundation. Most of the beneficiaries are maids (45%), followed by drivers (27%) and cooks (13%). So far, almost half of the enrollments have been made using Aadhaar as proof of identity. Over 70% prefer monthly saving and 38% are putting away over `500 monthly into their pension account. About 10% of the employers have also set up a systematic investment on their credit cards for automatic deductions. "I have enrolled my maid of eight years. I helped her enroll and paid the `300 sign-up fee. Now, she takes care of it," says Mumbai-based Sonali MehtaRao, co-founder, MelaArtisans.com.

The Gift-a-Pension scheme has a helpline that is open from 8.30 am to 6.40 pm on all working days, with a staff of 20 in Pune and Bengaluru that can take queries in 14 regional languages.

The man behind Gift-a-Pension is Gautam Bhardwaj, director of Micro Pension Foundation, for whom the scheme has been a gleam in the eye since 1990. The think-tank he founded, Invest India Economic Foundation, was the main architect of the National Pension System (NPS), which was rolled out by the government in 2004 for its workers. For the next five years, he worked with the government to open up NPS for all.

CNBC must miss former anchor Maria Bartiromo, who decamped to Fox Business Channel earlier this year.

The Englewood Cliffs, NJ-based CNBC is spending big bucks renting studio space in Midtown in order to set up its Squawk Box studio just two blocks north of the Fox Business headquarters on the Avenue of the Americas.

Squawk is hosted by Joe Kernen, Becky Quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Competition is so tough, top business executives tell us, that CNBC is stepping up its haranguing of guests about appearing on any parts of the Fox Business lineup and has threatened these executives with banishment from CNBC if they appear on Fox first.

Booking wars are nothing new, but it seems some of CNBCs hosts lack a team spirit, our sources say. The culture there seems to be kill your colleague, one person quipped over bookings. They [the hosts] seem to think theyre more important than the guests.

When you are first in business worldwide, sometimes confidence is misinterpreted as arrogance, and if that were ever the case, we would certainly be apologetic, said a spokesman for CNBC.

Tinseltown isnt known for its soft side, but when it comes to watching the North Koreans (allegedly) open Sonys kimono, theres a distinct lack of schadenfreude and more of it could have been us.

Hackers breached Sonys internal systems and illegally released a handful of upcoming movies online, then dumped data exposing the most intimate details of Sonys deals, employee contracts and actors salaries, among other things.

Sony just never seems to be able to dig out from unfortunate situations.

In 2012, its factories got swamped in the tsunami. Then in 2013, Sony came under attack by hedge-fund operator Dan Loeb, who shamed the studio, saying its movies sucked and the entertainment unit should be sold.
