A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!
The Prime Minister’s back down on poker machine reform and on her agreement with Andrew Wilkie is shameful. The Prime Minister has failed the thousands of problem gamblers in Australia and their families, and she has tacitly thrown her support behind the clubs who make most of their money at the expense of those Australians who can least afford it. The Prime Minister’s version of reform is no reform at all for there is no guarantee that it will extend beyond the ACT trial.
It seems that the Prime Minister only cares about her own self-interests, pandering to those who can further her own political ambitions rather than working for the best interests of the country.
“The more I have read the Bible and studied the life of Jesus, the more I have become convinced that Christianity spreads best not through force but through fascination. But over the past few decades our Christianity … has become less and less fascinating. We have given the atheists less and less to disbelieve. And the sort of Christianity many of us have seen on TV and heard on the radio looks less and less like Jesus.”
Two churches located across the street from each other. At least the Catholics have a sense of humor. lol

Climate change is happening…
Image description: Every winter the ice in the Arctic Ocean grows, and every summer it melts and shrinks. This summer, it melted to its second smallest size, shown here in this image from NASA. The yellow line shows the average size for Arctic ice in the summer. The red line shows that the ice melt created a Northwest Passage shipping lane. According to Joey Comiso, senior scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, “The sea ice is not only declining, the pace of the decline is becoming more drastic.”
