The issue of Australia’s immigration detention centres is routinely misreported/ignored by corporate media. British multinational Serco runs all the country’s centres – not that you’d know that by reading most media reporting – and here’s just a few latest examples of where this information routinely lies (ie. a black hole): One: Hundreds of asylum seekers…

Israel feels light tap on wrist and marches on regardless
I’m sure Israel is shaking; two close allies chastise Israel and then do absolutely nothing about it. That’s pointless loyalty: Britain and Australia urged Israel to refrain from settlement building on the West Bank and called for a “return to direct talks” between Israel and the Palestinians. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the Middle…
But, sputters Israel defender, we’re a lovely and free nation
How many Zionist lobbyists does it take to defend apartheid? Don’t answer that (hint: one). The ongoing saga of Sydney council Marrackville supporting BDS is slammed by defender of the occupation Anthony Orkin. What’s funny reading this delusion is how it could have been written decades ago. Occupation doesn’t exist. Israel’s growing descent into fascism…
The unholy alliance between the Australian government, Serco and Scientology

Julia Gillard requested the…
What media should be learning post-Wikileaks
Me today at the Wikileaks rally in Sydney: The key issue is – what is Wikileaks telling us about the world? What are the documents Wikileaks is releasing saying to us about how our governments behave? And what is says is very, very clear – confirming in some way what many of us might have…
NSW Greens MP explains why Wikileaks matters
Here’s the AAP story on today’s Wikileaks rally in Sydney: More than a thousand advocates of free speech have taken to the streets of Sydney in support of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Australian-born Mr Assange has enraged the United States by leaking American diplomatic cables that embarrassed world leaders. He is currently on bail in…
