Hurst, Rob
2007
\"They're a great piece of live TV to work on. There's nothing like it,\" says [Rob Hurst], whose regular job is EP of news show Nightline. \"The excitement is seeing the rise and fall of a government evolve before your eyes.\" \"The bar is going to be set high for Channel 7,\" says Mark Llewellyn, the network's executive producer of news and current affairs. \"We haven't been in the game before in such a substantial way so we're aware we'll be marked fairly heavily.\" \"Seven is the news leader now in Australia,\" Llewellyn says. \"We're doing (a full election coverage) because our news is so important and we owe it to the people who watch us to cover this significant event.\"

Hurst, Rob
2007
The annual Annapolis Cup match is nine-wicket or \"backyard\" croquet. A full-size croquet court is a rectangle 100-feet long and 50-feet wide. Nine metal wickets and two wooden stakes are arranged in a double diamond pattern. The object of the game is to advance the balls through the course by hitting them with a mallet, scoring a point for each wicket and stake made in the correct order and direction. The winner is the first side to score 14 wicket points and 2 stake points for each of its balls. Teams can also win bonus points by \"scoring\" a wicket or stake or by hitting another ball. For the Annapolis Cup, each side has 10 players divided into two- person teams.

Fed: Former Midnight Oil rockers protest military exercise
in
Hurst, Rob
2007
Rock band Ghostwriters, featuring former Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hurst and guitarist Martin Rotsey, is headlining Saturday night's Brisbane \"Peace Gig\" concert opposing the Talisman Sabre military exercises and the Iraq war. Sydney-based Hurst said today he was more than happy to use his high profile to oppose what he considered is the \"totally unnecessary\" Talisman Sabre exercise centred on Shoalwater Bay in central Queensland. Mr Hurst said he believed Australia \"hadn't heard a peep\" about the Talisman Sabre exercises from the federal opposition because Labor didn't want to hurt its chances of winning the next election.

Hurst, Rob
1997
You don't win Le Mans 14 times without good reason. One of Porsche's greatest but most maligned creations was the 944. Conceived as a proper version of the terrible 924, like most Porsches it began life on the track, appropriately at Le Mans. The 944, you see, is effectively the 924 GT Turbo of 1980 Le Mans fame. Next turn at Puke is down to third. Left hand down. Rumble strip. Feather the throttle. Right hand down. Rumble strip. More right hand down. Over-steer, over-steer. Feather the throttle. CAPTION: FAST WITHOUT FUSS: [Rob Hurst] and his Porsche 944 racing/road car have won four titles in five years. ALASTAIR RITCHIE

Conceived as a proper version of the terrible 924, like most Porsches it began life on the track, appropriately at Le Mans. The 944, you see, is effectively the 924 GT Turbo of 1980 Le Mans fame. Most importantly, the 944 was a departure for Porsche because it placed the motor up front and this, along with hours on the Computer- Aided Design system, endowed it with handling the world's motoring press termed a gift from the gods.

He's not heavy, he's our new drummer
2002
After 13 years of playing heavy metal acoustic blues music, The [Backsliders] have forged a new direction for themselves and welcomed Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hurst to the group. Inspired by a couple of Guinnesses, Hurst wrote the song Thinking Man's Drinking Man about Australia's love of a good drop. \"Everyone in this country can relate to a song like that, but not necessarily the thinking part,\" jokes Hurst. Using a different drum kit with The Backsliders, Hurst tunes the drums to a lower pitch to compensate for the absence of a bass guitar in the band.

UNL actor wins regional Irene Ryan competition
1997
Rob Hurst most recently graced a local stage in December's \"A Christmas Carol\" on the Lied Center boards. Now, those who saw his Scrooge someday may be able to say, \"I knew him when ...\" Hurst will attempt to wow the judges with two pieces - a scene from the comedic \"Your Mother's Butt,\" which he will perform with stage partner Jeff Luby, and a monologue from \"The Man Who Couldn't Dance.\" Hurst performed both pieces in the regional competition. The three vignettes in \"Three by Ives,\" which is taken from David Ives' \"All in the Timing,\" include \"Speed the Play,\" a take-off on several David Mamet scripts that takes place in a fast, furious seven minutes; \"Sure Thing,\" and encounter between Betty and Bill; and \"Foreplay, or the Art of the Fugue,\" a miniature golf date turned into a metaphor for sex.
