http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-22/lawyer-claims-discrepancy-in-pm-sl...
A lawyer who worked with Prime Minister Julia Gillard in the 1990s says there is a two-and-a-half-year discrepancy in her explanation of when she knew about a loan for a house she lived in.
The property in question, on Kerr Street in Fitzroy, was allegedly paid for in part by funds taken from a union slush fund Ms Gillard helped set up.

If A Tree Falls is a documentary that gives an insight into the inner workings of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a revolutionary movement devoted to crippling facilities involved in deforestation. It also simultaneously offers a profile of ELF activist, Daniel McGowan, who was served with "domestic terrorism" charges for his involvement.
If A Tree Falls won an award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011 and was nominated for the Best Documentary Feature at the 2011 Academy Awards.
