WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange spoke out today from the Ecuadorian embassy in London about the escalating assault on his democratic rights and why he had been compelled to seek political asylum in Ecuador.

Dear Friends,

Over a million people have called on world leaders to end fossil fuel subsidies at the Rio Earth Summit, but our leaders have so far failed to deliver. Now, the only chance to save the talks from disaster rests with Brazil's Dilma -- sign this urgent petition calling on her to emerge a planet hero and end the polluter payouts!

Jeannie Blackburn has just heard news that the Royal Humane Society has revoked the bravery award given to the man convicted of serial and vicious assaults against her -- and it's thanks to Change.org users.

Everyone is talking about Gina Rinehart's campaign to take over Fairfax Media.

In the last week she has bought huge stakes in the company. Journalists are reporting that the mining magnate is seeking three seats on the board, but has refused the company's requests to sign the Fairfax Charter of Editorial Independence. In short: editorial independence is under threat at Australia's oldest newspapers.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned the business community to not raise consumer prices before the impact of the carbon tax on their own costs have been properly evaluated. The ACCC has highlighted the only commodity that can easily document the impact is the electricity generation industry, and this will be reflected in their tariffs from 1 July 2012 as generators can readily evaluate the impact of a $23 per tonne price on carbon on their fossil fuel costs.
