    Remote Aboriginal Communities - Alternative Power and Water Supply



    Will the above hand prints be the only remaining evidence that traditional Aboriginal society once existed or will the mining company bulldoze these sites as well?

    Please share, as we need as much support as we can get, for the remote Aboriginal communities, to help them to continue to remain on their land. If they are removed the first thing that will happen is that their sacred sites will be bulldozed, the fo

    Sunday Essay: Silver-tongued Turnbull fails to woo the arts vote

    In May 2015, the Australian arts community was shocked, perplexed and bemused when the then Arts Minister and Attorney-General, George Brandis, raided the government’s allocation to its own professional funding body, the Australia Council, and withdrew A$104.7 million to create his own private slush fund, the National Program for Excellence in the Arts.

    The raid had all the drama and high farce that accompanied another attorney-general’s raid on his own department, back in 1973....

    The recent fatal accident involving a Tesla car while self-driving using the car’s Autopilot feature has raised questions about whether this technology is ready for consumer use.
    But more importantly, it highlights the need to reconsider the relationship between human behaviour and technology. Self-driving cars change the way we drive, and we need scrutinise the impact of this on safety.

    Tesla’s Autopilot does not make the car truly autonomous and self-driving. Rather, it automates...

    All hail the bookshop: survivor against the odds

    This National Bookshop Day, Australia’s one-time Minister for Small Business, Nick Sherry, will be remembered for his words, not his deeds.

    A reader, bookbuyer and enthusiastic patron of terrestrial bookshops, in June 2011 Sherry told a conference on online business that,
    In five years, other than a few speciality bookshops in capital cities, you will not see a bookstore. They will cease to exist.
    Booksellers were livid, and I don’t just mean standing behind their count...

    Alice in Wonderland at 150: Why fantasy stories about girls transcend time

    It’s 150 years since an Oxford mathematics don published the most important work of children’s literature and one of the most influential books of all time.

    The origins of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in a story that Charles Dodgson told 10-year-old Alice Liddell and her two sisters while rowing along the Thames in 1862 are well known. What is less understood is why it has become such an enduring cultural touchstone across the globe.

    Making waves: the tsunami risk in Australia

    Australians are well versed in the homegrown natural hazards that we encounter every year, from bushfires in summer to storms in winter, cyclones up north and flooding along our rivers.

    But we don’t often stop to consider the threat posed by tsunamis. Should we?

    Tsunamis are essentially a series of waves in the ocean. Where regular waves are caused by wind, tsunamis are caused by the large-scale vertical displacement of the water column.

  • Grattan on Friday: Twenty years on, the Perils of Pauline haunt another Liberal leader

    The election for the Senate hasn’t ended well. To have four senators from One Nation in the upper house is worse than unfortunate.

    If Malcolm Turnbull had not called a double dissolution, but settled for a normal half Senate election, Pauline Hanson would probably have been elected but not with three other One Nation candidates.

    The potential sway of Nick Xenophon’s Team (NXT) received much attention before the election but it has secured one less Senate place than Hanson’s...

  • 5 Things on What To Do After Being Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence
    by Mick Pacholli
    Allegations on domestic violence are serious matters. Such an accusation is an immediate disqualifier for apartment applications and job opportunities. It carries severe costs like arrest, custody denial, or a restraining order. Mostly, people make false domestic accusations to gain custody or revenge on their partner. Unfortunately, since domestic violence incidents happen behind closed doors, it is difficult for one to prove. This makes genuine victims of false accusations seek relief. Even if yo...
