In what may be the greatest loss of face ever experienced by a nation more than 1.5 million people have signed the Avaaz petition against human rights abuse in Tibet by the Chinese Communist Party.
It would seem there torch is doing a global protest tour rather than a global peace tour in an event which [...]

I was inspired to write this from a piece shown on the SBS television show Dateline last week, where the journo delved into a scheme where all school children aged to 13 must be given a cooked lunch while at school.

Here is an excerpt taken from the Reporters Sans Frontières website:
“They are charged [...]

Now this is a rather long march so be prepared for it, sunscreen, water, and appropriate shoes. Alternatively you can come to South [...]
