"This system has made it much harder for us to share and care for each other" - After 6 years of NT intervention

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 21/06/2013 - 10:17pm

By Barbara Shaw - Six years ago my family watched the TV in my living room as John Howard announced he would be sending in the military and taking control of our communities.

I have never been more frightened in my life. I locked the gate of my town camp and kept the kids inside for two weeks for fear of them being taken. I worried constantly about my family out bush who didn't understand what was coming.

The US Wants Syrian Oil, Not Democracy

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 19/06/2013 - 9:09am

By Carl Gibson - 18 June, 2013

"... the Persian Gulf, the critical oil and natural gas-producing region that we fought so many wars to try and protect our economy from the adverse impact of losing that supply or having it available only at very high prices." -John Bolton, George W. Bush's ambassador to the United Nations
