Renters rights rally - WA - August 15, & national day of renters rights rallies - October 16

The Renters Alliance (RA) started only several months ago in Western Australia with a number of its original members from Bridgetown and the Blackwood region. The RA spokesperson Lea Keenan said the renters rights movement has spread Australia-wide after the RA was swamped with emails and calls from distressed renters.

The long-range ice-class vessel returns to Sydney with her crew, triumphant after the hugely successful Operation Divine Wind Campaign in the Southern Ocean, where this season it played a key role in preventing the slaughter of seven hundred and sixty-eight (768) whales by Japanese whalers.

HRA media release: Bob Carr must live up to DFAT's side - Indonesia has lived up to their part - Schapelle soon home

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sat, 26/05/2012 - 8:25am

Bob Carr said that it is abominable that children are in adult prisons - therefore release them all, now. Now that the Governor of Kerobokan has supported the right to early parole for Schapelle Corby, Australia needs to keep its side and en masse release all the children - now.

The conversations between DFAT and their counterparts, between Australian and Indonesian foreign ministries have occurred in that the goodwill of a sentence reduction, early parole for Schapelle Corby was brought up alongside the urgent need for Indonesian children in Australian adult prisons to be released.
