Photo, EPA/Dennis M. Sabangan - Students throw a bench during a protest following the death of Kristel Tejada. Student organisations criticised the university’s policies on tuition fees and held demonstrations of mourning following the suicide after she failed to pay tuition fees. Students vowed to hold more protests till tuition fee changes are made, arguing that currently they hinder the right to education of students who have financial difficulties.

Rising Renters Stress – 2/3rds of Australian live in rent

March 23, 2013

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) ‘rental stress’ is a term often used to describe households at risk of experiencing difficulty meeting their rental costs. High levels of rental stress mean that affordability may be low and, as a result, those households experiencing rental stress may be less able to rent housing that meets their basic needs.

Quality of life for Australians 2nd only to Norway, but for Aboriginal peoples 122nd

March 16th, 2013

Once again the United Nations has ranked Australia second behind Norway in its annual Human Development Index – for public health, social wealth, education, even happiness. But if Aboriginal peoples go stand-alone they would not be part of that 2nd rating – they would be 122nd.

In the tourist mecca of the Maldives, a teenage girl who was repeatedly raped by her stepfather has been sentenced to 100 lashes. There has been no public outcry by the world’s governments or by international public institutions. Human rights groups are outraged and social media is running the gauntlet to prevent the lashings.
