MessageAt least they're not killing each other. I've just read a piece on the
development of a mine in El Salvador. You get in the way there, and you can
wind up in a ditch with your head cut off. I believe things are more civilized
in Australia. Or are they?

The interesting thing with this one has to be the demonstration of the power
of the mining/business lobby in Aus... I don't know the back story but it looks
like Rudd was "disappeared" in a matter of days (from when the rumours started
to when he was gone--maybe 48 hours) and then the first thing that Gillard does
is rescind the mining bosses supertax... Hmmmm...

minister, may move to slow Australia's population growth amid concerns about
failing infrastructure and the nation's environment.
"The change of direction is to put front and center the sustainability
issues," Gillard said in an interview with the Nine television network today
"There are environmental issues about water and about soil. But there are also
sustainability issues about planning, about services."
