This is a further step towards Australia going down the path of GWB's complete dismantling of environmental controls in America. I read a report on what has happened over there since he took over and its quite frightening. The EPA has been stripped of its powers and prosecutions for breaches of regulations have been almost eliminated. Big corporations are virtually doing whatever they like. > http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/01/12/1073877760167.html > (about kyoto and stuff) > > In fact I found the article by Monica whatsername a little hard > to stomach.

I can empathise with her frustration that Pell refused to respond to her attempts to communicate with him and that this was a final way of getting a response. "The following letter was sent to Cardinal George Pell last August, and some weeks later when no reply was forthcoming, a copy was sent with a covering letter expressing concerned that he had not received the first one. In December, I then attempted three times, unsuccessfully, to make contact with him by phone. I decided to make this an open letter to the Cardinal in the hope that by making it public, it may highlight the difficulties same-sex couples have even being heard, let alone granted access to the same level of justice as heterosexual couples." > Was it a public letter?
