Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 24/04/2012 - 3:40am

If you can't make it to the tribunal at Ft. Meade (maryland, USA) or the U.S. embassy in London, consider making a public stand for Bradley Manning on April 24th., 25th. or 26th. wherever you are - as he stands before a military tribunal that wishes to bury him alive!
Bradley has now been in military custody for over 700 days!

There are solidarity actions presently planned in Cardiff/ Wales, Fairford Base/ England, the gates of Ft. Meade /USA and 14 cities world wide

We have all heard about mortgage stress however renters' stress has received comparatively little mention according to Lea Keenan, coordinator of the WA Renters Alliance. Ms Keenan said that rising rents are not confined to Perth and the north west however "are just as out of control in the south west."

Source spills beans on government (PMO) scandals

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sun, 22/04/2012 - 10:56am

Gerry Georgatos
The National Indigenous Times was informed some weeks back of the scandal surrounding the Speaker of Parliament, Peter Slipper, the member for Fisher and former barrister and businessperson.

A source close to the Office of the Prime Minister said that the scandal "was in the works, would soon surface, and just like the Lobby restaurant incident that went on for a little while having pearshaped on the government, the Prime Minister and crew are in overdrive behind the scenes to shore up the government against looming threats from this latest scandal-in-waiting."
