18 years since the murder of black teenager Steven Lawrence, Gary Dobson and David Norris have been sentenced to a total of 29 years for this now notorious murder and race hate crime in 1993. Judge Lord Justice Treacy handed Gary Dobson, 36, a minimum 15 years and 2 months and David Norris, 35, a minimum 14 years and 3 months at the Old Bailey on Tuesday 3rd Jan 2012.
Despite the conviction of 2 of the group now due to new evidence and the overhaul of the double jeopardy law, the actual assailants in the murder remain at large.
In a press conference Sunday afternoon Federal Attorney General Nicola Roxon said that Government officials are in talks with Japanese authorities over the fate of the 3 Australians now held captive on the Japanese whaling security vessel Shonan Maru No2. She said the Government's primary concern was the safety of the three men.

On New Years Eve while the city streets were packed with drunken revellers and riot cops, a group of anarchists dropped 18 banners from five empty buildings in the centre of Sydney. Sound-systems were set up in two of the buildings with an anti-police hip hop/punk/dubstep mix which blasted out onto the streets. Anarchist slogans and symbols were sprayed on the windows in the buildings and on buses and banks in the streets below.

Introduction
This is not a debate about the legitimacy of either or. This is a debate about the need to conclude a messy and genocidal history. It is about working together to get it right and to settle grievances and disputes in a fair and just manner.
It can become ugly, but only if the dominant society rejects outright our legitimate claim to continuing sovereignty and dominion over our lands, natural resources and the naturally occurring biodiversity.
Scientists have been able to calculate the velocity of climate change on land and ocean environments using temperature records to determine isotherms and their change in a fifty year period from 1960 to 2009. So how fast are climate envelopes moving? The general median answer is 27.3 km/decade on land, and 21.7 km/decade in the ocean. This equates to a speed needed to outrun climate change on land (2.7 kilometers per year) and in the oceans (2.2 kilometers per year). This rate of movement of thermal climate envelopes poses problems for species facing a high speed migration, or a difficult and abrupt adaptation or extinction.
