The problem both the government and the opposition have is they cannot agree what to do about stopping the boats thereby saving lives, as well as the millions of taxpayer’s dollars this costs every taxpayer.
I believed I had the solution to stopping the boats, which meant no offshore processing was needed and a huge saving to the Australian taxpayer.

In an ominous turn of events the pre-trial hearing of Bradley Manning is now being used to build a future case of espionage against Julian Assange. The military prosecution has now introduced evidence that supposedly not only directly links Julian Assange to Bradley Manning but that Assange directly "coached" Manning into how to obtain government documents. The evidence comes in the form of selected transcripts of supposed chat logs between the two men found on Manning's computers.

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 22 December - - There’s interference by person or persons unknown, including Aborigines, with preparations for the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, its last founding survivor, Michael Anderson, alleges.
Anderson has just brought back from London a copy of the original document in which Queen Victoria and the English parliament of the time state that the crown owns nothing in Australia and that Aborigines are sovereign, with their own laws and leaders.

Brother Jerry,
Just some thoughts I felt to share with you.
I have written several articles published in various news media that the Swan Valley Nyungah Community has asked me if I could kindly post on Indymedia Australia, a site that they know many come to for the stories few others carry.
DIGNITY IN DEATH DENIED, and SWAN VALLEY NYUNGAH COMMUNITY folk made homeless - "Why is the Swan Valley Nyungah Community being punished?"
