ANOTHER WHISTLEBLOWER DROPS FMG MINING DEAL BOMBSHELL
No amount of corporate spin, bulldust or threats can save Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) from the continuing revelations of whistleblowers and freedom on information documents that show the under-handed tactics and bullying they ply for profit.
Remember that submission many of you wrote last month on renewable energy? Congratulations -- it worked!
On Friday, the Climate Change Authority released the findings of their review into Australia’s 20% Renewable Energy Target (RET).
We’d been worried, because journalists reported that "the process has flushed out a wave of hostility to the RET from coal-fired power stations and their allies, who want the target cut back."[1]

“Kill us all, then bury us here” is the breaking point desperation of the Amazon’s Aboriginal peoples who are being pilloried out of their country – lands, rivers and forests, from their whole way of life – by multinational giants rapaciously profiting from the mining of their lands. Not only is the Amazon’s forest rapidly diminishing but so are the numbers of its Aboriginal peoples. The Government is seeking to remove them to impoverished reserves and missions. Aboriginal leaders and rights advocates Australia-wide have sent messages of solidarity - Goolarabooloo Law Boss, Phillip Roe in his own battle with multinationals to save Walmandan (James Price Point) said of the Amazon tragedy that it is "racism and the rape of a people who have done no one any harm.”
THE CALL FOR THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO THE AWU SCANDAL INVOLVING PRIME MINISTER JULIA GILLARD IS LOUDER THAN EVER – “It was not a slush fund” says AWU accountant – it was something more sinister – new revelation – Julia Gillard, lawyer, brought on a defamation action in defence of Ralph Blewitt (“the bagman”) – enough is enough, bring on the Royal Commission and step down Julia Gillard from the Office of the Prime Minister till the RC is concluded – The nation’s reputation is on the line
Gillard’s account of slush fund rejected – October 29, 2012 – Sydney Morning Herald
As Launceston awakes this morning, a clear message to Heritage List the Tarkine will resonate throughout the city.
Members of the group Groundswell have hung large banners in prominent locations in and around Launceston to highlight that Tasmanians will not allow the Tarkine to be mined.
On the corner of Tamar and Cimitiere Street in Launceston’s CBD, high up on the red gasworks framework, a message to the Federal environment minister Tony Burke reads: “TARKINE HERITAGE LISTING”.

The alarming level of violence by guards against prisoners in NSW, has been revealed this week, with the release of several secret reports.
Fairfax media obtained the documents under FOI laws, which show that the corrective services department has covered up the problem for over a decade.
More than 1000 violent incidents occur each year but very few are being investigated and even fewer result in discipline or charges against guards.
Recommendations by the Ombudsman to tackle the problem have been shelved over several years.

yet another tragedy coming from police intervention in the northern territory but this time in katherine where mr. lewis, an aboriginal man and an amputee with major health problems, was arrested at a card game and held for 24 hours in the katherine police cells.
like mr. briscoe, there are claims by witnesses that mr. lewis was
ill-treated and brutalised by the local police. he himself complained to
his family that he had been treated roughly by the police and over the 24
hours he had been given no food or drink and, worse, no medication for his
diabetes.
