This punitive policy is at odds with international human
rights conventions and the Racial Discrimination Act.

ANOTHER WHISTLEBLOWER DROPS FMG MINING DEAL BOMBSHELL

Secret reports reveal violence against prisoners in NSW

Submitted by 2SER on Sun, 28/10/2012 - 5:12pm

The alarming level of violence by guards against prisoners in NSW, has been revealed this week, with the release of several secret reports.

Fairfax media obtained the documents under FOI laws, which show that the corrective services department has covered up the problem for over a decade.

More than 1000 violent incidents occur each year but very few are being investigated and even fewer result in discipline or charges against guards.

Recommendations by the Ombudsman to tackle the problem have been shelved over several years.

Nauru - Governments normalising racism while people suffer and die - "there is the smell of death here"

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sun, 21/10/2012 - 11:35am

Gerry Georgatos
The veils and layers of racism are myriad – a trickle of humanity flees from persecution and horrific conditions, from civil strife, to our shores and Australian Governments react with racism, fall into the trap of justifying their racist actions, deeds and words and then normalise the racism and stereotype peoples.
