Honour Pakistan's children by getting every child into school

Dear friends, on 17 December 14 a band of men walked into a school in Pakistan and massacred more than 100 kids. These Taliban extremists see education as a threat and the best way to respond to their heinous crime is to meet their attack with a global call to get every child in school. Sign a petition. More than 100 CHILDREN! What kind of person does something like this? Someone who sees schools as a primary driver to keep young people from recruitment into a life of violence.

Ahead of their AGM, ANZ weren't banking on this

Yesterday 200 villagers from Kampong Speu protested outside ANZ's Cambodian headquarters in Phnom Penh.

They were demanding that the ANZ use the estimated $5 million in profits it made from funding Phnom Penh Sugar to make amends to affected communities. Phnom Penh Sugar is the company at the heart of grabbing their land and leaving them in dire poverty.

INDONESIA: Mixed messages on fate of drug traffickers on death row

Some time soon in Indonesia, five men will be taken before dawn from their isolation cells to secret locations. White aprons will be hung carefully around their necks, with red targets positioned over their chests. They will be offered blindfolds, and asked if they would like to stand, sit or lie down.

Then their hearts will be riddled with judicially sanctioned bullets until they are dead.

Who Supports Israel's Draconian Demolition Policy

 

The government of Israel has decided to restart a policy they haven't used for ten years.

The policy is bizarre and immoral but the Pro Israel lobby in Australia is silent. Why?

They send bulldozers in to demolish the homes owned by family members of terrorists.
