Human rights groups blast Sydney University over its decision to cancel a planned visit by the Dalai Lama.

The University of Sydney has withdrawn an invitation to the Dalai Lama to
speak on campus in June. The University has compromised its independence to
protect its financial ties with the Chinese government, according to Greens
NSW MP John Kaye.

Arrogant and brazen: the right-wing lays out their plan for Australia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 15/04/2013 - 1:10pm

It was the most exclusive of events: a glittering $500 minimum per head gala fundraising dinner last week for a right-wing think tank. Tony Abbott, Gina Rinehart and Rupert Mudoch took turns sharing the stage. Andrew Bolt was MC. Tony praised his fellow key-note speakers, especially Rupert, and promised the crowd a "big yes" to many of the think tank's list of 75 policies to radically transform Australia.

So what, exactly, is on this think tank's wish list?
Public broadcasting - gone. The ABC to be broken up and sold off, SBS to be fully privatised.
