Once again more people, a woman and a child (unconfirmed) have been injured in a level crossing accident in Victoria. This type of accident seems to occur quite frequently on Victoria’s train networks but we don’t seem to get action taken quick enough. The state of the Victorian rail network is terrible and it needs [...]

I actually read about this on the train when someone left an MX behind. Uniting Churh Minister, John Evans thinks the Good Friday holiday should be dropped and replaced with a holiday which is respectful of all faiths, he’s suggested reconciliation day. Minister Evans was quoted as saying:
“Good Friday is all about reconiliation between humanity [...]

It’s not six years on from the start of the US-led invasion force which as now seen 4,000 US citizens lose their lives. The war has seen more than 35,000 US citizens injured.

During John Howard’s reign of terror when he gained absolute control of the Senate he changed the rules around disclosure of political donations. Mr Howard increased the non-disclosure rate from $1,500 per donation to $10,000 per donation. This would then allow any single party to donate $89,991 during any one year. Quoting Mr Howard from [...]

I’ve just got some new details sent to me about a rally on Sunday. The gathering will march from State Parliament house along St Kilda road to the Chinese consulate in Toorak. Now this is a rather long march so be prepared for it, sunscreen, water, and appropriate shoes. Alternatively you can come to South [...]

The Queensland transport minister, John Mickel has a great approach to reducing road deaths over Easter. From midnight Easter Thursday all holders to the new ‘Go Card’ for public transport will be given free travel from Gympie to Coolangatta.
This is a revolutionary approach to taking more drivers off the road over busy times. Let’s hope [...]

Finally the Australian Federal Senate has called for a review of the Aged Care pension. Older Australians many of which need this pension to live haven’t had an increase in the pension since 1993.
During the reign of Howard it wasn’t even reviewed. The Australian Greens have been asking for this increase for some time and [...]

As part of a security upgrade for security clearance Labor staff members have been asked about their personal life.
Quoting from the News Ltd article…
“MINISTERIAL staff in the Rudd government are being forced to list their history of sexual partners, reveal extra-marital affairs and detail homosexual experiences before gaining security clearance.”
Labor staffers quizzed on sex | [...]

It’s good to see Rudd come out and say something on the atrocities currently happening in Tibet. The biggest issue for the people there at the moment is that they are facing the Chinese opposition with no international media or NGO’s to report on what’s going on. The only official reports coming from Lhasa are [...]
