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.

    Your renewables success

    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, and bury us here" - Solidarity from Australia to the Amazon's Guarani

    Gerry Georgatos
    “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.”

    Secret reports reveal violence against prisoners in NSW

    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.
