Guantanamo Bay shortly before
his untimely death.

Brian Raven was a good friend and fellow investigator. Some years ago his body was found in his home in mysterious circumstances; he had been dead some weeks. I have not heard whether there has been a coronial inquiry. At the time of his death Brian was working on exposing corruption in a number of high profile cases. He set up a website regarding the evidence against Ivan Milat. This is Brian's take on the evidence against Ivan Milat.

Legal cases rulings re whaling in Australian Southern Ocean 2008

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 10/01/2010 - 11:01am

WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS ON THE FOLLOWING LEGAL CASES ALREADY COMPLETE.

Are we to be told by the Australian Govt that the Australian Federal court orders about whaling are to be ignored? If this is not reaon enough for Australia to enforce the court orders by the Royal Australian Navy since the duty of patrolling the Australian coastline falls to them.Maybe it's time to create an equivalent to the USA Coast Guard.

Submitted by Anon on Sat, 09/01/2010 - 8:24pm

Ivan Milat continues to state that he is innocent and has been framed in the matter of the Backpacker Murders. He says that he cut off his finger due to refusal of access to necessary law books and a computer to type up his application for a review, not to get attention or to make an escape attempt.

Ivan Milat says: "The High Court informed me they received my application on 18th December 2009 and accepted it. It has been filed and I am applicant No. 356 of 2009. I've sent off the necessary documents to the Respondent in my matter - the Supreme Court."

Climate tipping point: Global Atmospheric Methane on the rise

Submitted by takver on Fri, 08/01/2010 - 4:48pm

The concentration of methane in the atmosphere is rising, according to measurements made by the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) at its Baring Head Station near Wellington.

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas whose affect on climate is 21 times stronger than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and is the second most important contributor to global warming behind carbon dioxide. It is produced naturally mainly by biological breakdown of organic substances in oxygen-deficient conditions, such as the digestive system of ruminant animals and the decay of plant material in swamps or landfills. It is also prevalent in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas (which is mainly methane).
