There’s been a development in the campaign against the reckless expansion of the coal industry and we need your help to apply some crucial pressure.

What took place?

The Great Barrier Reef is in danger. Earlier this month the Australian Institute of Marine Science released a report stating that half of the coral cover in the Reef has vanished in the past 27 years.

But instead of listening to this and taking steps to protect the Reef, Federal Environment Minister, Tony Burke, has just approved a massive new coal terminal right in the World Heritage Area.

Who’s involved?


Five weeks ago the Government announced that they were banning the super trawler from fishing in Australian waters for two years until further research into its impacts were completed, following months of intense pressure. Thank you again for being part of that campaign.

It's now up to us to ensure the two year temporary ban becomes permanent. We must clean up fisheries management and work towards more sustainable fishing practices in Australia. The government is currently seeking submissions to a review on Australian fisheries management legislation and we have 2 days left.

The Vietnam war wasn't really about Vietnam. Spaniards may have fought in the Spanish Civil War, but the real opponents were elsewhere. US and Soviet machinations in Afghanistan in the late 1970s had little to do with liberating a repressed population.

They were all proxy wars, struggles between superpowers that chose to fight their battles in faraway lands and inflict their collateral damage on other peoples instead of their own.

Video frame images from US 'presidential debate' 2 show in high contrast an apparent audio feed above the president's left ear.

Is prompter-dependent Obama, prompterless in the so-called 'presidential debates', wired for sound, like Bush in 2004, who had some contraption hidden under the back of his jacket ?

After Australia was elected a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council on Friday, Foreign Minister Bob Carr said: 'It's the world saying "we see Australia as a good country, a fine global citizen".'
