Our homeless folk continue to increase, not only in numbers however and in terms of despair and various clinical conditions.

Submitted by thelaststand on Thu, 15/09/2011 - 4:35pm

On Saturday 8 October in Australia (which might be your 7th or 8th Oct depending on timezone) join us to stand up for our forests at Harvey Norman stores and other locations across Australia and the planet and say

No Harvey Norman No! Stop selling Aussie forest destruction!

Australia's world-class forests are still being ripped apart by industrial logging operations every single day. The destruction of our native forests is placing our threatened species, clean air and water, and climate in serious danger.

HRA RELEASE: Australia in danger - an obstinate power hungry egomaniac: Prime Minister Julia Gillard exposed as a racist.

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Mon, 12/09/2011 - 3:22pm

Will Melissa Parke and Louise Pratt finally stand up and be counted or will they piecemeal choose what to say?

Prime Minister Gillard is a racist whose personal characteristics such as her maniacal obstinacy when coupled with her ever obvious racism make her dangerous as a powerbroker on the Australian landscape.
