ILC hits back over “untrue, misleading, personal attack”

Submitted by David Galvin on Fri, 16/07/2010 - 4:25pm

The Indigenous Land Corporation has hit back at the anonymous posting of a story on the Indymedia website on July 10 branding it as “inaccurate, untrue, misleading and a personal attack on ILC Chairperson Shirley McPherson.”

ILC General Manager David Galvin said the story, “ILC accused of defrauding Aboriginal people”, attributed to comments allegedly made by Michael Anderson, was factually flawed and probably defamatory and had to be answered in detail to set the record straight.

Prime Minister avoids climate protest and talk of climate change

Submitted by takver on Thu, 15/07/2010 - 7:54pm

The missing words at Julia Gillard's first address as Prime Minister to the National Press Club was "climate change". Outside the building Climate activists from Rising Tide Newcastle had dumped a ute full of coal at the entrance. The protesters called on the Gillard Government to announce a climate change policy that addresses Australia's principal source of greenhouse pollution - coal.

Submitted by takver on Thu, 15/07/2010 - 10:52am

The public launch of the Beyond Zero Emissions report - Zero Carbon Australia 2020 - was delivered to an overflowing audience at Melbourne University last night. The report is one possible blueprint for acting on the challenge of climate change by converting the existing coal and gas fired carbon pollution dependent electricity generation to 100% renewables using only current technologies in ten years.

press release
12 July 2010

Stand Fast, a group of veterans and former military personnel who oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, has asked Prime Minister Julia Gillard to stop misleading the people of Australia and to come clean about the war in Afghanistan. The group's comments are in response to Gillard's use of the death of another Australian soldier in Afghanistan to peddle false justifications for Australian involvement in this unpopular war.

Asylum seeker "debate" used to hide corporate coup

Submitted by Flowerpower on Mon, 05/07/2010 - 9:57pm

In a cynical and disgusting act, the ALP has stirred up a “debate” on asylum seekers within days of capitulating to the major mining corporations. Once again the rich and powerful seek to scapegoat the weak and vulnerable to disguise their misdeeds. The mainstream media has jumped to the cue, no-longer discussing the “old news” of how multi-national mining companies have successfully avoided paying billions of dollars in tax and helped engineer the overthrow of sitting PM in the process.

Democracy needs reform—The cruelty of poll driven politics in Australia

Submitted by Wei Ling Chua on Mon, 28/06/2010 - 4:34pm

After a series of sudden and drastic moved initiated by a handful of people within some fractions of the Australia Labor Party on Wednesday evening, Australians woke up the next morning (24 June 2010) watching their elected Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd) cried in front of the TV screen after he was told by the dozens of his colleagues he was finished as prime minister.
