Media Release Issued by Hands Off Syria - 16 September 2013
Hands Off Syria (Australia) condemns the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI) and calls for its disbanding and replacement by a body which does not act as a partisan propaganda organ for the foreign powers waging war against Syria.

Hands Off Syria member Ms Hanadi Assoud says ‘The Commission of Inquiry has proven itself a partisan body, inciting massacres and protecting the main architects of this crisis: the USA and its proxies, in particular Saudi Arabia.’

i am still in the process of watching the deadly's 2013 and, sadly, the nit did not win the award for a media story that involved the kings cross shootings of the 6 youths involved. i hope that this does not however stop the nit campaign pressure upon the nsw police and the nsw dpp for the reports and reasonings to be made public and not become just another bad example of the custodial star chambers that are put forward as justice in this state. isja will most certainly continue to call for the public showing of these covered-up matters.

GenerationNone: How will the Coalition close the widening employment gap?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 13/09/2013 - 1:09pm

By Amy McQuire in The Tracker

According to the latest Census results, the Indigenous unemployment gap is not closing. In fact, it has widened under Labor. So what is the Coalition’s plan, and why is there a disproportionate focus on the work of GenerationOne?

Recently it was announced that one of Australia’s richest men Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, head of Fortescue Metals Group, the world’s fourth largest iron ore producer, grew a little bit richer.

Sorry - we fell for a hoax

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 13/09/2013 - 11:14am

We regret that on Wednesday 11 September we published a story claiming that whistleblower Julian Assange had been arrested by UK police in London.

The alleged author, Dr Philip Dorling, sent us this message:

"Your website is carrying a bogus report concerning Julian Assange. This report falsely has my name as the author. I did not post this article. It is a fake. I ask that you remove it immediately."

We have removed the article and apologise to anyone who has been embarassed or damaged by it.

The downside of democracy for Indigenous Australians

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 13/09/2013 - 11:00am

By Chris Graham in The Tracker

One of the features of a modern democracy is that apart from getting the government we deserve, we're also supposed to get the government that the majority of us want.

Like Communism, it's great in theory. But also like Communism, it's often not so good in practice.

At least, it's not if you happen to be a minority group who has long been denied the right to elect your own leaders.
