ACTU press release: Unions call on Indonesia to release arrested nurses

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 5:06pm

ACTU Press Release March 29th Australian unions have called on the Indonesian Government to respect international labour Conventions and human and trade union rights following the arrest of five nurses in West Papua. ACTU President Ged Kearney said it was outrageous that the nurses had been detained for nine days and were reportedly subjected to long periods of police interrogation, simply because they had supported an industrial campaign to ensure they received their contracted entitlements.

The Human Rights Alliance is disappointed in The Greens and the Senate for watering down the call for a Senate inquiry into Australian deaths in custody

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sat, 02/04/2011 - 3:24pm

The Human Rights Alliance's Response to the Australian Senate and to the Greens:

Senate backs Motion Acknowledging Deaths in Custody: This is not Enough. We have called for a Joint Committee Senate Inquiry into Australian Deaths in Custody.

The Human Rights Alliance, and with apologies, has quickly crafted this Media Release to express our disappointment that our campaign for a call for a Joint Committee Senate Inquiry into Australian Deaths in Custody has been watered down to a Senate Motion acknowledging what we already know. This is attrition.

Is wide spread corruption in Australia possible without media involvement?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 31/03/2011 - 8:39pm

No, it's impossible in my opinion and experience. Before we go to corruption itself, let us see how possibly media could play a role in developing corruption. There are number of definitions of corruption, and I talk about a wide aspect of it, when things do not work as they should and nothing can be done about it. So faulty and malfunctioning procedures, offices, policies and officials and governments is of great importance to the normal functioning of society. Not everyone work for the government nor has access to the documents and knowledge what is happening.

Garnaut: Australia energy rich, but knowledge poor

By Kristy Henderson

“Climate change is a diabolical policy problem” according to Ross Garnaut, who in Melbourne on Tuesday night released the eighth climate change review paper: Transforming the electricity sector.

Speaking about the review in the most carbon intensive state in Australia, Garnaut optimistically touted Victoria’s history of innovation, and the inevitable role that this would have in transforming Victoria’s energy sector.

Nuclear waste legislation must wait until Muckaty landowners objections heard in Federal Court

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 24/03/2011 - 10:14am

The Federal Government should not try to pass legislation that would allow a national radioactive waste dump on Muckaty Land Trust in the Northern Territory before the Federal Court case opposing it lodged by some traditional owners of the Land Trust is heard, Oxfam Australia said today.

The National Radioactive Waste Management Bill 2010 is due to be debated in Parliament this week in the face of opposition from some Aboriginal traditional owners of Muckaty Land Trust who lodged the case with the Federal Court contesting the process used to nominate the land as a radioactive waste site.
