Another case of media fuelled racism in Australia

Mass media is the heart and soul of a nation. Many people rely upon the mass media for information and entertainment including the bureaucrats working for the government. It was reported by the Brisbane Time on the 15th Oct 2009 under the heading - Rudd policy on China 'set by BHP', with the following statement from Mr Joske (an economic adviser to former treasurer Peter Costello in the 1990s):

The film Uribe doesn’t want you to see screened on the walls of the Colombian embassy in Canberra

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”.

Firemen face court over indecent assaults, but not doctors and psychologists at HealthQuest, the N.S.W. government medical office which is complicit in these crimes

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?

Does a superannuation fund own Australian National Car Parks?

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.
