This website is linked to a couple of others which were originally run on behalf of journalist's collectives. These groups are no long active. See Age-aware above, and the Plateau Group site below. |
Science Corruption | The corporate corruption of science was run on a global scale. These are extensive alphabetic listings by individual and organisational names -- with access to original corporate documents.
|
Australia's tobacco lobbyists | The international tobacco tactical group of about a dozen Australian corporate lobbyists were drawn originally from Philip Morris Australia, with some from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, and lawyers (Donna Staunton/Julie Bishop) working through Clayton Utz/Robinson Cox (Perth). |
Crossroads and other pieces | These are mainly from the weekly science & technology supplement The Australian newspaper 1993-2003. I have also included a few other articles still of interest. |
ECONOMICS | "Why You Don't Understand Economics ... and nor do they!". This is a multi-section study of economics from the base up. It seeks to expose many of the failures of economic ideologies. |
AUSTRALIAN HISTORY | A revision of the claims made about Australia's two "invasions" -- the first 45,000 years ago, and the British one in 1788. Australian history as taught in our schools is crap.
|
Just Ideas | Essentially these are just some random ideas that I've noted over the years that are worth pursuing. Some are social, some are political, but most are just basic technology.
|
Sense & Nonsense | There are many causes of misunderstanding in the Australian community. I plan to develop a web-site with good examples and explanations about the various fallacies and misunderstandings commonly circulating -- not necessarily maliciously. Help welcome.
|
Plateau Group | The Plateau group was an on-line group of Australian journalists who mainly exchanged ideas about facilities for the aged ... also the promotion of small and basic electric road vehicles suitable for short-distance travel, and ways to provide suitable small houses in ideal locations for the elderly, disabled and disadvantaged (especially single parents with one or two kids).
|
Politics | Some general material about the state of politics in Australia, and questions about the Constitution, Voting practices, etc.
|
Telecommunications | There are many ways for governments to attack the Spam problem, and to organise international cooperation to oppose the corruption and destruction of electronic mail. With only a modicum of effort and finance these electronic communications systems could reach a potential many times more useful than they are today.
