In response to the Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's call to his ambassadors to ban the screening of Insurgency of the 21st Century, Australian activist groups have started promoting the documentary.

The premiere screening took place on March 6, outside the Colombian embassy in Canberra, Australia. This coincided with a national day of protest against state terror in Colombia. Uribe and his supporters say their continuing repression of Colombian people is part of the “war on terror”.

Today's rag tells us that several firemen are facing court relating to indecent assaults on a colleague 20 years ago which was part of an 'initiation rite', so it it seems, that was common in N.S.W. fire stations.

How did employees of N.S.W. fire brigades in several locations get away with these crimes against new recruits? How did the cover-up happen?

Recently an irate victim of Australian National Car Parks rang Barkly Square Shopping Complex which has an ANCP car park at the rear and asked them why they are supporting this organization. The complainant was informed that the owner, a 'prestigious' and well known super fund would not be doing anything illegal or wrong.

The complainant was also informed that there is nothing wrong with the way in which ANCP operates, demanding 'damages' from drivers and issuing real-looking fines which are in fact not fines and SHOULD NOT BE PAID.

Five Federal Police officers have raided the Steve Irwin as it docked in Hobart today at the behest of the Japanese Government. Australia instead of helping to enforce the international ban on whaling in its waters and condemning the Japanese for their illegal sinking of a Sea Shepherd vessel is trying to help criminalise the Sea Shepherds activities.
