Occupy Sydney claim police harassment

The Occupy Sydney movement claims that the NSW Police force are harassing activists with regular raids on their Martin Place base and numerous arrests for trivial matters.

The group says Police visit their site up to three times a day, confiscate property and try to charge people with minor offences.

In the latest incident six occupy activists were arrested following a protest outside the Greek embassy on Wednesday.

Four of them were held for 10 to 12 hours each, then released without charge.

Truth does matter - Apology owed

Gillard and Rudd are products of the me-generation. They do not comprehend that politics is a calling.

Gorton was removed by his party. Whitlam was removed by the Governor-General and the CIA. Hayden was displaced by Hawke. Keating and Hawke tussled bitterly. There was bitterness however like Costello they predominately put the nation's interests first and stepped back.

Latham is another product of the me-generation.
