The 2010 fastBREAK innovation series is an exciting addition to Sydney's event calendar. The first two sold-out instalments of fastBREAK have sent a buzz through local creative and entrepreneurial communities. On the last Friday of each month, the Powerhouse Museum's best kept secret, the Boiler room Mezzanine, comes to life with a flurry of fastBREAKing ideas and conversation.

A document leaked by Carenne Public School staff member 'hatho' demonstrates how the Department of Education and Training treats whistleblowers. In the email, school principal Lynette Duncan claims that whistleblower Brian Carter was watching the school. Grant Hatch of the DET media unit replied "... whistle in mouth?" demonstrating the complete and utter contempt staff of the DET have for whistleblowers.
For more stories about how whistleblowers are treated by the NSW government visit wbde.org.
Earth hour has grown from just one city - an estimated 2.2 million people participated in Sydney in 2007 - to 50 million people in 400 cities around the world in 2008 and even more in 2009. In 2010 more than 1,000 cities and towns in 120 countries around the world will, at 8.30pm on Saturday, March 27 turn off the lights for Earth Hour. It is a symbolic event that has been tirelessly promoted by the WWF to promote action on climate change. While its impact by itself is somewhat negligible, although there is a noticeable power use reduction for the hour, it has increased general public awareness of energy use and it's contribution to climate change.
