Thousands march against spending cuts
More than a quarter of a million people have marched through central London to deliver a powerful message about the government's cuts in public spending. The generally good-natured mood was soured by violent and destructive attacks on symbols of wealth including the Ritz, banks and a luxury car dealer, and an occupation of the upmarket food store Fortnum and Mason. Trade union organisers said that the turnout had exceeded their expectations, and thousands had travelled by coach and by train from as far as Edinburgh to vent their anger at the government's cuts by marching through London to a ...
We need a general election
Both the borough’s Labour MPs voted against dissolving parliament and holding an election. The vote follows months of scandal and allegations over Brent Labour MPs expenses claims, and a massive 25% drop in the Labour vote in last week’s European elections in Brent. Eight ministers have abandoned Gordon Brown’s government and internal disputes have overshadowed important policy debates.The only major party to move forward in the elections last week was Sarah Teather’s Liberal Democrats.

Britain has outsourced mayhem. Finally it's coming home
I believe that the current political crisis has little to do with the expenses scandal, still less with Gordon Brown's leadership. It arises because our economic system can no longer extract wealth from other nations. For the past 300 years, the revolutions and reforms experienced by almost all other developed countries have been averted in Britain by foreign remittances.The social unrest that might have transformed our politics was instead outsourced to our colonies and unwilling trading partners.

Why a population of, say, 15 million makes sense for Australia Population growth has profound impacts and sorting myths from facts can be difficult. In a new series, the Conversation looks at the issue Neither of Australia’s two main political parties believes population is an issue worth discussion, and neither now has a policy about it. The Greens think population is an issue but can’t come at actually suggesting a target.Even those who acknowledge that numbers are relevant are often quick to say that it’s our consumption patterns, and not our population size, that really matter when we talk about environmental impact. But common sense, not to mention the laws of physics, says that size and scale matter, especially on a finite planet.

From between the census lines emerges a picture of the great wealth divide | Nicholas Biddle and Francis Markham If income inequality feeds disparities across generations, policies should encourage different social classes to share neighbourhoods and regionsWith affordable houses increasingly out of reach, wage growth slow and household debt high, Australians are certainly feeling poor. But how do they compare with their neighbours? New census data confirms there’s a lot of variability in income.The census breaks the country up into 349 geographic regions (named below), some of which cover more than one major town and some of which group related suburbs within cities. We examined 331 of these regions, excluding those containing fewer than 1,000 households.

Taking Australia out of the ABC: what happened to the commitment to local content? With its quiet reallocation of government funds, the national broadcaster is forgetting its public purposeKim Dalton accuses ABC TV of shifting finds from Australian content Achievements by the ABC to significantly increase levels of local drama, comedy, documentary, Indigenous and children’s content, as well as expand partnerships with independent production houses and creative talent, have in recent years been reversed.The problem lies with a lack of governance, an inadequate, outdated charter and the ABC’s poor relationship with the independent production sector.These [funding allocation] changes occurred largely in a cone of silence Related: Kim Dalton accuses ABC TV of shifting funds from Australian content It is likely that the Indigenous commissioning budget has been reduced by at least 10% Related: 'So complex, so real': why Rake is one of the best shows on Australian TV Continue reading... |
