At a function in Gerrmany.
Goodooga, 20 July - - An Australian Aboriginal sheep farmer and rights activist, Michael Anderson, is taking on the country’s Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson, for the NSW Outback seat of Gwydir in the coming federal election.

Some claim that many live in worse than Third World conditions in the midst of plenty.

Whilst I am not directly involved in this campaign I felt it necessary to highlight it as it is something that has been misreported in the local press but is a fine example of how local people can join together to fight for what's right.

The fruit of 5 years of writing, traveling and informal study, “Monkey Comfort” is a playful combination of anthropology and anthropomorphism that draws on the lush imagery of the natural world to describe the human condition.

Rosia Montana: The war for gold is killing people

13-07-2004 15:16

The Mining Company S.C. „R.M. Gold Corporation” offered the amount of 840,000,000 lei to the family physician Florin Georgescu, so that he would leave Rosia Montana . For a year, the largest commune in Romania was left without medical assistance. Many of the local inhabitants claim that doctor Georgescu was paid to leave, because he held certain medical files of patients who had died, or became gravely ill, because of the powerful psychological pressures they were subjected to, for several years, by the mercenaries of the Company.
The war for gold has begun to kill people.
