In a landmark decision in the Federal Court of Australia, right wing columnist and broadcaster Andrew Bolt was found guilty of contravening the Racial Discrimination Act. The case brought forward by complainant by Aboriginal activist Pat Eatock had already caused a stir in political and media circles as some had seen the case as a test of free speech in Australia

In Wales 4 coal miners died last week as a result of a wall collapsing and the shaft becoming flooded. This goes to show that the Chilean miners’ rescue in 2010 was nothing short of a miracle, and that mining is still a job that has its risks.

There will be plenty of articles written around the world to commemorate the tenth year anniversary of one of the most infamous days in modern history, it is an appropriate thing to do. It is a rarity in one’s lifetime that you can pinpoint a moment in time that changes the course of history, the events of September 11 was one of those moments.
The fall of the Berlin and the defeat of communism marked the end of the cold war and it seemed that the world had finally moved past the geo-political tensions that had dogged generations were finally over. The tearing down of the Berlin wall symbolized the dawning of a new era and a whole generation looked forward to a future free of tyranny.

The decrepit asylum seeker debate continues to drag on in Australia and everyone has an opinion on what to should or should not be done with asylum seekers. The 90 to 95 per cent that are found to be genuine refugees fleeing persecution from countries that Australia has had direct involvement in or turned a blind to. I’m talking countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka etc.
We’ve had onshore processing and attempts at the pacific solution, the Nauru solution, the East Timorese solution and the Malaysian solution. So the question has to be asked how long before we have the final solution? Hmm provocative yes, but bureaucrats from the Department of Immigration have briefed the leader of the opposition and the prime minister, two politicians who lack of leadership and political expediency has lead politics and national discourse to a new low, that asylum seekers are basically do anything people who will tear at the social fabric of Australian society.

As the people of Blighty take it for Team GB in our preparations for the 2012 Olympics, are we excited about our week in the sun? For many affected by the traffic chaos and business losses, the sheen of the events has long worn off.

The divisive asylum seeker debate that swings like a wrecking ball through Australian politics looks like it has claimed another scalp, this time it may be the Gillard government itself. The asylum seeker debate has taken another turn after yesterday’s ruling by the High Court. The landslide six to one ruling has put another nail in the coffin of the minority government.
In short, the judgment has found that Australia can’t send asylum seekers to Malaysia because of the absence of legal protection for asylum seekers within the laws of Malaysia thus contriving Australia’s own commitments under the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention. Malaysia, unlike Australia, is not a signatory.

Last week a small crowd gathered in front of a London Police Station in Tottenham, demanding answers to the police shooting of Mark Duggan, an alleged drug dealer who police say shot at them first. However, forensic evidence has so far only found police ammunition used at the scene.
As the police continued to ignore the crowd for hours, all hell suddenly broke loose with two police cars being set on fire and sparking the latest London riots.
This isn’t the first time that Blighty’s capital has been the epicentre of an outbreak of public anger turned riotous. To this day there have been quite a number of riots or protests involving violent disorder at the heart of the Commonwealth.

It has become a bit of cultural phenomenon. Australian MasterChef over the past few years has been the runaway hit on Aussie television. A show where your average Joe can walk in off the street and become the newest, fandangle chef destined for a career on primetime television showing interested viewers their take on risotto.
Like any popular “reality” television, MasterChef’s clever premise bases itself on the sweat, blood and tears that goes into manipulating people with extreme tasks in a competitive environment under the glare of studio lighting and the focus of $120 thousand dollar high definition broadcast quality cameras.

I live a pretty exotic life. Over the years I have refined my tastes and have educated myself in the ways of art, music, cinema, literature and of course world cuisine. So the other day when I was in Red Rooster having just ordered a classic quarter with a rooster roll on the side I was contemplating the fact that the city I live in has made it so much easier for one to gain such knowledge when residing in a truly multicultural society. As a Melbournian I think it’s reasonable to say that I do indeed live in a resoundingly successful multicultural metropolis, a point that was just about to be reiterated as I dined on what I believed to be some sort of bird, most likely chicken with some chips that were almost undeniably made with real potato extract.

A few Aussie gents are in their last few days of a mind-blowingly epic endeavor: running from Melbourne to Sydney. In 21 days.
Running about 42 kilometers a day, that's the equivalent of a friggin marathon a day! Most people train for ages for one single marathon, after which they can collapse into a useless pile of exhaustion and exhilaration at a job well done, and call it good for the rest of the year.
But not Joel Craddock, Nick Hayes, or Ben Maddern.
They set off on June 26, and have been going strong ever since. They've blogged every day from the road and as their most recent post from Day 16 shows, they're still alive and kickin. Their goal is to raise a staggering $35,000 for the McGrath Foundation, a foundation that raises money to place McGrath Breast Care nurses in communities throughout Australia and increase breast awareness for young Australian women.
