Hi everyone

I started a petition against Coal Seam Gas that some of you signed this week. Thanks for signing.

There's one more thing you can do to make a massive difference, but we have until the end of the day.

The major political parties continue to ignore Coal Seam Gas. They want to please big mining companies, and they don't think that people like us actually have political power. It's an election year, and there's one good way to change that. They take away our land. We need to take away their power.

Conversion to solar, wind, geothermal and hydro-electric energy will solve all the nation's and the world's employment, economic, and pollution problems all at the same time.

May 5, 2013 - What does it take to mobilize America and unite its manufacturing sector to work towards a single goal? In the past, world war and the very real possibility of life-and-death brought us together. Our current situation is the equivalent to WWIII, and we need to mobilize to win it.

Australia incarcerates its Aboriginal youth at the world’s highest rates, it imprisons one in 14 Western Australian Aboriginal adult males and it removes one in 14 children from Western Australian Aboriginal families into the care of the State, and for Aboriginal peoples the whole of the Northern Territory is a prison built brick by brick by the Commonwealth, and this prison is loosely known as the ‘Intervention’.

Since 1992, the rate of Aboriginal incarceration in Australia has grown 14 times faster than that of non-Aboriginal incarceration.
