The head of the CIA is an idiot. Who on earth would trust the media as the primary source of information.

What a surprise labour government using a biology student called research as the basis for a whole policy. In this case not clearing growth to prevent bushfires.

Now we are listening to Guantanamo detainees?

Peter Alford writes like an apologist for Islam. I've yet to see an accurate definition of moderate Islam.

Use the word torture in a military sense there is outrage. Torture and children and you get six years in prison. this is a wonderful legal system.

So the Wiki leaks found is complaining about a book exposing his background what a hypocrite.

If I'd been there once finished rolling on the floor with laughter I would have called the Chinese Ambassador a flat out liar. China has no history of seeking dominance? China has always been a peaceful and friendly nation? I guess if you look at the last couple months that may be so but China has had a long history of aggression and seeking dominance of all of its neighbours to say otherwise is simply a barefaced lie.

Once again we see the lie that ocean surface temperatures are rising. The global graph has shown a decline for a few years now. The article also does not mention the Indian oscillation cycle which in more recent papers has been linked with droughts in Australia. As usual any information on climate, climatology and climate change is not only updated when portrayed in the media completely inaccurate.

Why is it that any article on aborigines makes him out to be some amazing forward thinking culture? When a society will we be able to label things as they really are.. There was never a judicious use of fire, it was not planned, it was used indiscriminately by nomadic people.

LETTERS

Lots of good letters on the NBN today. I also challenge one writer Wallace will never be as fast as fibre. Lots of ad hominem attacks. Good letter from the retired Commodore.
