4. Who is Justin Bieber's lawyer, and what is the best way (quickest, most reliable) to contact the lawyer?
   
   
   
5. What is the cheapest form of travel from the Gold Coast to Melbourne?
   Ah if only Tiger airways was running! However, from my own personal travel experience, the cheapest form of travel long distance in Australia at least seems to be flying, you spend less on food than if you were driving and no petrol/hidden costs: So currently on webjet the flight from the Gold Coast to Melbourne would cost : $248
