Coal and coal seam gas mining are expanding at an unprecedented rate, threatening our farmland, our climate, our communities, and our water.

Join environmentalists, farmers and concerned citizens from across NSW to take action to protect our irreplaceable farmland and environment.

This election, demand your politicians put communities ahead of mining profits.

Food before coal. Water before gas. For our land, our water and our future.

Hope to see you there!

'The War You Don't See' is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war, tracing the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War One to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan and disaster in Iraq.

As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an 'electronic battlefield' in which journalists play a key role, and civilians are the victims.

Includes an interview with WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange.

Around 250 detainees have broken out of the Christmas Island detention centre, frustrated at the long delays processing their refugee claims and the feeling of hopelessness caused by being kept in detention. Asylum seekers are coming and going from the detention centre peacefully. Some have used their freedom to visit friends and relatives in the family compound that in usual circumstances they are cruelly prevented from seeing.
