Gerard Martin claims people who don't live in his electorate have no right commenting

Submitted by libertarian on Fri, 27/11/2009 - 5:36pm

As part of the public inquiry being carried out into Carenne Special School on Sydney Indymedia, I contacted Gerard Martin, member for Bathurst about serious issues at the school. I asked him whether or not he still believed the organisation at the centre of the Carenne Gate affair still delivered best value for dollar following the release of documents on Sydney Indymedia clearly showing they had defrauded the NSW government.

Mr Martin's reply was:

Stop new coal plants in NSW

Acting on climate change is urgent. As the UK Meterological office recently confirmed, we face warming of at least four degrees if governments do not get serious about reducing emissions.

But the NSW government has released plans to build new coal-fired power stations.

Unions fight Building Commission draconian powers and prosecution of Ark Tribe

Submitted by takver on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 12:16am

Hundreds of building workers rallied in cities across Australia on Friday, October 30, in support of Adelaide construction worker Ark Tribe, who is charged with 'failing to attend to answer questions' at the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) about a stop-work meeting. The commission has the power to compulsory interrogate and impose fines and jail building workers who do not co-operate. A Jail term of up to 6 months could be imposed.

More boats are arriving, as Sri Lanka's genocide against the Tamil people continues and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq become more bloody.

Kevin Rudd refuses to take responsibility for the people whose suffering the Australian government has helped create.

Instead of welcoming refugees, Rudd and Turnbull are evoking memories of the Tampa, children overboard and the SIEV-X disasters.

Hundreds of events round Australia call for climate target of 350ppm

Submitted by takver on Tue, 27/10/2009 - 8:16am

From Alphington to Warrawong, Broome to Wagga, Townsville to St Helens thousands of people across Australia attended a diverse variety of over 175 different climate action events calling on politicians to set the target for CO2 emissions to 350 parts per million (ppm) for a reasonable chance of avoiding dangerous climate change. CO2 emissions are already at 387ppm so we need to have negative emissions through active programs to draw down and stabilise carbon from the atmosphere.

PROUDLY PRESENTS

..She was found slumped outside the rubbles of a hospital, charred clothes draping from her battered body. Motionless she lay within the waiting room of death as hands worked frantically to bring her back to her crumbling world..her identity unknown, her fate all too familiar..and then..within a blink she dissapeared..who was she? what happened to her? What lay ahead?...

Within the horror of war, our actions define our identity & determine our destiny..
