What future does this little boy have? 5 hours ago the first car bomb was detonated in Samawa

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Thu, 04/07/2013 - 8:05am

I woke this morning to a message and photo from Samawa, Iraq, hometown of my good friend Riyadh Al-Hakimi. Riyadh came to Australia in 1993 as a child refugee with his family fleeing the prospect of persecution. We met at university, I was the general manager of a Student Guild and coordinator of Students Without Borders and Riyadh was an international relations student, now graduated.

The right to political opposition is one of the basic rights that the “democratic” system under which we supposedly live should guarantee us; but today is little different to the times that we lived under governments we called dictatorships, as the State´s repressive forces chase, harass and lock up those who dissent politically.

Stop O'Farrell's "Bed Tax"

Submitted by 2060 on Mon, 01/07/2013 - 2:12am

TODAY NSW Community Services Minister Pru Goward announced the imposition of a ‘bed tax’ on public housing tenants with a ‘spare’ bedroom.

This is part of an ongoing process of harassment and displacement of long term public housing tenants as the NSW government attempts to shift housing responsibility onto the non-government and private sectors.

Why should public housing tenants be forced to move out of homes they have occupied for years, sometimes decades, and into smaller accommodation, which may not have been as well maintained as their own homes.
