Truth does matter - Apology owed

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Wed, 22/02/2012 - 2:00pm

Gillard and Rudd are products of the me-generation. They do not comprehend that politics is a calling.

Gorton was removed by his party. Whitlam was removed by the Governor-General and the CIA. Hayden was displaced by Hawke. Keating and Hawke tussled bitterly. There was bitterness however like Costello they predominately put the nation's interests first and stepped back.

Latham is another product of the me-generation.

Arctic emergency a global threat

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 16/02/2012 - 4:00pm

Seven out of thirteen climate tipping points are in the Arctic, says Dr. Carlos Duarte from the University of Western Australia. He leads off this Radio Ecoshock special look into a double-headed emergency frightening Arctic experts.

There is a growing wave of unease, even panic. Our fossil fuel civilization may be accelerating straight off the cliff of mass extinction.

Will the rapid rise in Arctic temperatures, and the disappearance of summer sea ice, trigger a runaway climate change, and a mass extinction event?

Kids in Leonora called by number, not name

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 28/01/2012 - 9:19pm

RRAN activists have succeeded in gaining access to visits at the Leonora detention centre. After traveling the 800km from Perth, on Friday Serco and DIAC tried the usual lies to deny visit. "Nobody wants to be visited by you" etc. After much shouting and protesting, with unaccompanied minors and others in the centre joining in, Serco relented and there have been several visits this Saturday. The kids in detention even launched balloons with messages on them, some of which made it into the hands of RRAN activists.
