Another four children have been released from Australian adult prisons, following the three children released several weeks back, and therefore they were wrongly convicted. It is good they are going home to their families.

The British Supreme Court has rejected his appeal against attempts to extradite him to Sweden on dubious sexual assault allegations, for which he has not even been charged. The Swedish authorities are functioning as nothing more than a tool of the US Obama administration, which wants to force Assange to Sweden.

The O’Farrell Government is planning changes to Workers Compensation. Under the changes:

•you won’t be covered on the way to and from work;
•your pay will drop while you are recovering;
•if you can’t recover quickly enough, medical bills and weekly payments will be cut off completely.
The only ones these changes will benefit are the insurance companies.
