 By Ghali Hassan:        
Can you imagine the outcry if an Australian city council rejected a proposal to build a Jewish school?You don't need to imagine. Anyone who dares to utter a single word against it will be labelled "anti-Semitic".


Who Owns Ireland --The Pope or The People?


The Whispering Nuns of St John's

I
thought I’d tell you a ghostly story this Christmas. It’s a true story,
but this being a website dedicated to Anarchism and non-theism, I will
put it in the Creative Writing section. It's fun when camping at
Christmas to relate ghost stories late at night.

Weird stuff happens.Too many sensible people see and hear unusual things for all this to be discounted as nonsense.

Howard, Ruddock, Vaile et al - Morans or Just Corrupt?

Philip Ruddock claims in his letter that the pretty words he and his ilk put on paper must leap up and do his and his mate's job?  http://www.wbde.org/documents/2007Aug3_AttorneyGeneralRuddockToKerrisonWhistleblowersText.php

Er, they don't.  They just sit there

Now, does that make them liars?  Or what?

Who wasted their vote on these people?

Why are they taking our public money?

EFA appalled by filtering

Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) is appalled by Friday's announcement that the federal government will force all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Australia to provide 'filtered' Internet connections upon request.

9 December is World Anti-Corruption Day

WhistleBlowers' Documents Exposed site has found Howard's (and Beazley/Rudd) governments to be sooo corrupt/incapable that it now writes straight to the United Nations making complaints under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.

 http://www.wbde.org/documents/WBDE_Letter_UNCAC_15_Mar2007.php 

Under this treaty, Howard and his thugs/premiers SHOULD have their assets stripped from them, and returned to the people.


Australia Needs Ethical Reporters (WhistleBlowers) to Identify Its Corruption

 "Corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a government's ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice, and discouraging foreign investment and aid ". Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General

A teacher's story: a complaint and its consequences

September 1999

The author of this story wishes to remain anonymous because their aim is to provide insight into the possible consequences of speaking out in the school system rather than to document allegations against particular individuals.

This account tells in brief of the consequences of what was a legitimate complaint. Because the nature of the complaint was awkward for my employers, the Education Department, the whole incident was covered up and a concerted attempt was made to make me appear an inadequate person and an unsatisfactory teacher, who could not be taken seriously. All means of seeking justice failed. I approached the state member of my electorate and the Education minister at the time, until I was told by a Departmental letter that any further approaches would lead to discipline (i.e. the sack). I approached the Union. The Ombudsman encouraged me to use the grievance system which brought pages of reports and criticisms of me as a teacher and my family as inadequate. I applied to the Anti-Discrimination board and Human Rights and Equal Opportunities to no avail. It seems unlikely that I will ever teach in a classroom again.
