Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 27/11/2012 - 2:18am PETITION: President Obama: Don't Balance the Budget on the Backs of Children
Dear President Obama.
Thank you for your leadership and congratulations on your re-election. We are the voters for action, ready to join you in solving our most pressing challenges. We come from a variety of backgrounds and political affiliations, but are united by the common mission to prevent child abuse and neglect.
In the upcoming budget negotiations and beyond, we believe that keeping children safe should be something on which we can all agree.

Whitefellas fail to grasp reality

AS TONY Abbott dug himself in deeper trying to escape his remarks about ''authentic Aborigines'' recently, his comments were revealing. The way he described Aboriginality had a significance that went beyond rudeness or violating political correctness.

Submitted by Noel Conway on Fri, 23/11/2012 - 10:35pmThere is a dirty campaign being waged to smear the name of the Prime Minister.
