   Woolworths in Denial Over Serious Workplace Issues posted by mod, 2014-11-29 10:00:14
Whether it’s arrogance or plain incompetence Woolworths’ upper management has failed to even acknowledge receipt of letters raising serious workplace issues of harassment and victimisation of staff while it continues to demand more output from staff at the same levels of pay. We have been supplied with yet another letter, this time addressed to the CEO Grant O’Brien, due to the failure of the HR director to remedy or even acknowledge problems in the workplace.

 Tony Blair's Award from 'Save the Children' posted by judd, 2014-11-28 23:56:21
The editorial team wishes to apologise to our readers for not covering the award given to Tony Blair, by 'Save the Children.' We have received no posts on this outrageous event. However, the reaction of our editorial team is beyond shock and reason, not only does it stagger the moral fibre of being in the overwhelming majority of sane people on this planet but it also staggers the imagination to the point of muteness -- we understand.

 Oz data retention bill fails scrutiny test posted by Allie Coyne via stan, 2014-11-27 09:38:09
Why chip away at all of Abbott's policies when the entire regressive bunch can be eliminated by removing Tony Abbott from the office he stole by calculated misrepresentation, FRAUD and deceit on a level never before seen in Oz politics. The MAN should be targeted not his policies. (full story)

United Nations Calls for an End to Industrialized Farming posted by Maryam Henein via stella, 2014-11-27 02:42:57
In 2013, the United Nations announced that the world's agricultural needs can be met with localized organic farms. That's right, we do not need giant monocultures that pour, spray and coat our produce with massive amounts of poisons, only to create mutant pests and weeds while decimating pollinators and harming human health. Don't believe the hype: We do not need genetically modified foods "to feed the world." (full story)

Opening the Gates to World War III posted by Paul Craig Roberts via shirl, 2014-11-24 20:49:17
An excellent analysis and coverage of the situation in the Ukraine by Mr Roberts who seems as perplexed as most informed commentators regarding Russia's passivity to date. Putin is a known western puppet as his millions in western banks indicate so that could be one explanation but it seems that Russia after WWII has been sufficiently traumatised nationally to avoid conflict at all costs perhaps even to the point of submission -- we shall see. Nevertheless, it should be noted that WWIII actually began when the neocons arranged with Israel's Mossad to create a false flag (9/11) and then declare a war on the vagary 'terror,' which of course allows the US to wage perpetual war, invade and steal, on behalf of its avaricious corporate rulers by simply making the (terrorist) accusation based on a fabricated pretext -- what a total travesty/farce! The fact that the global majority is aware of this ruse and fails to act is a shameful disgrace. (full story)

What the World Needs Now is Applied Law and Order posted by serg, 2014-11-24 11:30:41
The global population is fed up with States, particularly Israel and the US, making a mockery of international and local law -- these nations murder on a regular basis and call it defence -- no-one believes a hair of it, notwithstanding other criminal new 'laws' of indefinite detention, 'legal' assassinations, un-penalised Wall St bankers and other corporate offenders. But this short piece is only focused on LAW and those States and groups that imagine they are above it. NATO for example, committed so many crimes in Libya it's a wonder printed statutes didn't spontaneously burst into flames. (full story)

 War Effectively Declared on Russia posted by ben, 2014-11-23 22:50:16
All imperialist (corporate) wars are economic wars waged to secure resources and/or territory. When economic sanctions and trade embargoes are applied to any nation the offending nation is effectively declaring war on the targeted nation. And so we see a pattern repeated in the post-modern age, trade embargoes, financial and economic sanctions then open military conflict. (full story)

 Only in America do morons elect morons posted by stacy, 2014-11-23 03:29:57
Michele Bachmann along with Sarah Palin are most noted for their constant gaffes and idiotic logic, the fact that these two imbeciles have been elected as government officials is an extremely poor reflection on the entire nation, needless to say! Bachmann's most recent contribution to the infamous hall of political fails is her recent statement in response to Obama's new immigration policy. Bachmann warns that America should be wary of "illiterate foreign nationals," which most moron Americans would view as sound advice but for the illiteracy of Bachmann's statement. (full story)

 Abbott blasted by his beloved England posted by Paola Totaro via rochelle, 2014-11-20 21:23:15
When British conservatives attack their Australian counterparts it serves to highlight the retrogressive, insular, out-of-touch mentality of the Oz prime minister who fraudulently stole office by engaging in a campaign of calculated lies, fraud and DECEIT to gain office -- a crime under local statutes.

 Woolworths HR Refuses Formal Response to Letter of Inquiry posted by mod, 2014-11-18 08:04:45
The arrogance of Woolworths’ upper management, which is largely comprised of foreigners that are clearly not familiar with Australian values and ethical standards, knows no bounds, their feeble attempts to avoid and deflect from the serious issues raised in a letter citing Woolworths Ltd for harassing staff and un-ethical workplace practices only damns the company further.
