Territory FM – community radio or commercial crap?

If a Community Radio station plays wall to wall classic hits, replays Alan Jones and Channel 9 news, is it really a community station?

Territory FM in Darwin is currently the subject of a complaint to Mediawatch because it looks, sounds and feels like a commerciala station.

And on top of that is owned by a University! - Charles Darwin University.

One student has told Mediawatch that the station doesn’t even allow volunteers to get radio training.

Democracy needs reform - we are the unsatisfied lead by the unqualified

Malcolm Fraser: “There aren’t enough people who have done something before they got into Parliament” (ABC Radio, 9 April 2011)

The above is a comment made by former Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser on ABC radio about the important of having quality people in a political system. One need just to browse through the events that have taken place in Australia politics (Federal and States) over the last few months will be able to understand why Australians are so frustrated with the lack of deep thinkers and serious policy makers in our political establishment.

Lets raise website security awareness!

We are a team of students from Melbourne University currently conducting a survey on website security and usability to assess the awareness of it and hopefully promote it in future. Did you know that 841,785 websites hacked in Australia in 2010 alone and that anti-virus does not always protect you against this? This needs to change.

The survey can be found on http://www.datacurve.com/website-integrity-security.html
