Elias Davidsson Interpreted 9-11 As a Violation of Human Rights Law "IndyWatch Feed National"

This is thought to be the Bible of Nat Turner, leader of the slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831.

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

Many people are interested in 9-11, sensing that the facts should not be swept away by US government, media, and other entities. There are many groups, known as truth communities, that have spent much time in the 21 years since September 11, 2001, trying to figure out ways to deal with this calamity. Individual researchers, too, have worked hard to illuminate the situation or to pin blame.

In 2006, when he was living in Iceland, Elias Davidsson attended to the 9-11 issue from his perspective as a human rights advocate. In particular, he looked to human rights bodies and judiciaries to see what concepts had been developed about the right to truth. He also ran a website, juscogens.com, where he uploaded the works of truthers if they had a legal angle.

I was not aware, until today, of an article that Elias uploaded to scribd.com back in 2006, when he lived in Iceland. It has two parts, of which Part I is the kind of legal thing I just described, and Part II is about specifics of 9-11.

The links between pollution and miscarriage: 'This is the stuff nightmares are made of' "IndyWatch Feed National"

The world we live in is slowly poisoning every single one of us. And the chemicals doing the most damage are byproducts of the fossil fuel industry, agribusiness and manufacturing. There doesn't seem to be the appetite at a regulatory or governmental level to stop it. In Australia, 50,000 agricultural, industrial and veterinary chemicals are being used; 1,500 are suspected to interfere with endocrine function, which is essential to the healthy working of our reproductive and hormonal systems. Only a very small number have been tested. Microplastics, which can cause inflammation in the body, is being found in our blood streams and also in the placentas of unborn fetuses. Walking down a major intersection during rush hour can expose you to as much particulate matter as a major bushfire event. Even if chemicals are tested, the testing regimen means that chemicals are only being tested in isolation and not in conjunction with others to see how compounds react. Also, they might be tested for carcinogenic effects ... but the test subjects aren't monitored for other ill-effects, such as endocrine disruption. Some effects take place long after the research has concluded. Some of these chemicals can stay in the body forever. Or affect the way our DNA functions. Theres even an Australian website (not widely enough publicised) called yourfertility.org.au. It has an entire section on chemicals in our environment and what to avoid, stating that avoiding these chemicals may increase the chance of having a baby.

What the heck is sociogenomics? "IndyWatch Feed National"

I was asked recently about sociogenomics, and I had to stop and think because I was unfamiliar with the word. At a guess, I thought it would about looking for correlations between genes and socioeconomic groups, ethnicities, and races using tools like genome wide association studies and polygenic scores you know, Bell Curve shit. To me, it sounded ominous and catastrophically bad, something that would shift into plain old eugenics and evolve into Nazi shit. But what do I know? I had to go look it up. I was just guessing.

Guess what? I guessed right.

Sociogenome is the comprehensive study of the role of genes and gene-environment (GxE) interaction on reproductive behaviour. Until now, social science research has focussed on socio-environmental explanations, largely neglecting the role of genes.

Drawing from recent unprecedented advances in molecular genetics we examine whether there is a genetic component to reproductive outcomes, including age at first birth, number of children and infertility and their interaction with the social environment.

Uh-oh. Theyre just going to take modern genetic techniques and apply them to sociology. But these techniques will not give them the answers they want! Theyll reveal rough correlations, but they wont untangle genetics and environmental factors they cant. This is a problem that has been pointed out to behavioral genetics researchers for years, and they just go sailing on ahead.

In the past decade and a half, sociologists and demographers have sought to integrate genetic data into their empirical analyses. To do so, they have drawn on recently developed high-throughput sequencing and genotyping technologies, which allow the entire genome to be mapped. They also follow in the line of a research specialty, behavioural genetics, which rose to prominence in the 1970s. This area, which focused notably on the genetic determination of intelligence, attracted severe criticisms, including among demographers (Jacquard, 1978; Vetta and Courgeau, 2003; Courgeau, 2017). However, these criticisms do not always seem to have been heard, and the emergence of new data and techniques has given rise to new problems, as indicated by calls for caution from learned societies in human genetics (Socit franaise de gntique humaine, 2010; Risch, 2016; Socit franaise de gntique humaine, 2018).

Lets look at an example of a sociogenomics study that was summarized in Wired. It does not reassure me.

Singapore Airlines free Singapore tour for transfer and transit passengers "IndyWatch Feed National"

Singapore Airlines free Singapore tour for transfer and transit passengers first shown on Taazakhabar News

Singapore Airlines - free Singapore tour for transfer and transit passengers

Changi Airport Group (CAG), Singapore Airlines (SIA), and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) re-launched the Free Singapore Tour after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19. Three of the existing tours available since pre-Covid-19  the City Sights Tour, Heritage Tour, and Jewel Tour have been refreshed to include new points of interest. A brand-new Changi Precinct Tour will introduce travellers to the interesting sights and sounds of the eastern region surrounding Singapore Changi Airport. Each tour lasts 2.5 hours and will be available daily, with plans to progressively increase to nine hours a day.

With transit and transfer passengers accounting for about 30% of passenger traffic at Changi Airport pre-pandemic, the tour was first introduced in 1987 to enhance the airports attractiveness as a transfer hub and to entice transit and transfer passengers to visit Singapore as a holiday destination. In 2019, over 80,000 passengers went on the Free Singapore Tour. The top markets were India, Australia, and Indonesia, with Indian and Australian travellers making up more than one-third of the total participants.

New Changi Precinct Tour to showcase eastern Singapore

The Changi Precinct Tour is a new itinerary that will bring participants to the eastern part of Singapore to visit local community spaces such as the Tampines heartland and to admire the rustic charms of Changi Village and Changi Beach. It offers a glimpse into how local residents live, and tells the tale of Singapores history on this part of t...

We Can Have Both More Housing and Good Urban Form "IndyWatch Feed National"

 

The density question is one that I get so frequently that I wrote an article about it way back in 2015. What is the proper density required to build a Strong Town? In these conversations, I typically point out that, if you ask a zoner to deliver you density, they will gleefully deliver you density, but youre not going to like it.  

Im on my citys planning commission. We recently adopted a new comprehensive plan (I was on the committee) that called for more density (in ways I wasnt completely comfortable with). We then rewrote our entire zoning code (I was not involved) in a way that delivered more density. 

Predictably, people dont like it. I dont like it, either.

I dont know what value that is going to add to my neighborhood, was one of the public comments that made the local paper following a recent meeting. The comment fell on mostly deaf ears, largely because the answer was both obvious and uncomfortable for my colleagues. The proposed apartment building will add five two-room units to the neighborhood. Building more housing is a goal of our comprehensive plan. But, this proposal does so in a way that clearly disrespects and detracts from the neighborhood, which is in conflict with others goals of the comprehensive plan. 

This conflict does not need to exist. We can have both more housing and good urban form. Poorly written zoning codes are where good intentions formed in a planning process go to die. Our communitys intentions, as reflected in our comprehensive plan, are on life support. It doesnt need to be this way.

Im not a fan of using the density metric in a zoning code, and I dont think density is the metric any...

Minnesota Lets Nurses Practice While Disciplinary Investigations Drag On. Patients Keep Getting Hurt. "IndyWatch Feed National"

ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up for Dispatches, a newsletter that spotlights wrongdoing around the country, to receive our stories in your inbox every week. This story was co-published with Minnesota Public Radio and KARE-TV.

Amy Morris started working at Hilltop Health Care Center in Watkins, Minnesota, in June 2021 with a clean nursing license that belied her looming troubles.

Morris, a licensed practical nurse, had been fired from a nearby nursing home seven months earlier for stealing narcotics from elderly residents. The state of Minnesotas health department investigated and found that the accusation was substantiated, and then notified the Board of Nursing, the state agency responsible for licensing and monitoring nurses.

But even though state law requires the board to immediately suspend a nurse who presents an imminent risk of harm, it allowed Morris to keep practicing.

In September 2021, supervisors at Hilltop discovered that pain pills were disappearing during Morris shifts and called the sheriff. Only then did Hilltop learn of allegations of narcotic theft that had been made nearly a year earlier at the other nursing home.

I thought, How is she practicing now? Meeker County Sheriff Brian Cruze recalled.

In an excerpt from an October 2021 Minnesota Department of Health report, a manager for Hilltop Health Care Center said the facility didnt know about a previous incident in which nurse Amy Morris was found to be involved in drug diversion, or theft. (Screenshot by ProPublica)

The answer, ProPublica found, is that the nursing boards investigations frequently drag on for months or even years. As a result, nurses are sometimes allowed to keep practicing despite allegations of serious misconduct.

It wasnt supposed to be this way. In the face of intens...

Noalition invites Labor action "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

The NSW election and the Ashton by-election make it clear that Australians are fed up with ideology, donor-pandering, and political point-scoring and want their governments to do stuff and fix stuff.

The federal government should do itself a couple of favours. One, make the transition to electric vehicles a top economic and national-security matter and the other is to take the obvious steps to reverse the housing crisis.

NSW and Ashton tell us that the Murdoch press and all the big-business and vested interests can be stared down. If political parties make sound decisions in the public and national interest, they will be rewarded.

Moreover, such an approach would send the Murdoch press and Sky After Dark crew into a spiral of irrelevancy as they gee up the Liberal Party to lurch ever further to the right with the consequences that we saw on the past two Saturday nights.

Australia is lagging on electric vehicles not because of lack of demand. They are in high demand, but short supply. 

Overseas manufacturers are dumping their fossil vehicles in Australia because we do not have an overall emissions cap on each manufacturer, unlike most other developed countries. So, while the manufacturers eke out the remaining life of their fossil-vehicle manufacturing plants, they will dump the product in Australia rather than sell us electric vehicles because they need to sell the electric vehicles in Europe to meet emissions caps.

We should impose an emissions cap now. We should also build more high-speed charging stations another dampener on EV take-up.

The transition is critical for security and the economy. We import $20 billion worth of refined petroleum, mainly from Asia and another $20 billion in crude and other oils. More than 80 per cent of the crude oil refined at Australias only two remaining refineries is imported. We are more than 90 per cent reliant on foreign fuel.

The two remaining refineries (owned by multi-nationals) get government subsidies of $2 billion a year between them.

In short, the quicker Australia transitions away from imported fossil fuels to EVs powered by Australian sun and wind the better it will be for our economy, our security and our environment.

The Federal Government should work with the states to overcome the looming road-funding crisis...

Lending for new homes lowest since November 2008 "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Lending for building crashes


Building approvals were once again atrocious at around 12,600 in February, the recent weakness being driven by a drop in unit approvals in Sydney and Melbourne.


Pre-sales are far too weak to get new projects out of the ground, and apartment prices will need to rise significantly from here before that changes. 



House approvals were also still weaving lower over the year in all the main capital cities: Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, and Adelaide. 


The trend for building approvals thus continued to decline to the lowest level in 128 months.

Labor government must act to prevent British companies suing the Australian government using the CPTPP "IndyWatch Feed National"

April 3, 2023: Australias Trade Minister Senator Don Farrell announced on March 31 that negotiations for the United Kingdom to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) were substantially concluded but that a draft Accession Protocol treaty instrument still had to be finalised. The treaty text will not be released until after it has been finalised and signed by all CPTPP parties in the next weeks or months.

The 11 CPTPP members are Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. The US initiated the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks in 2008, but pulled out in January 2017 following a massive civil society campaign against its neo-liberal terms. These included Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), which allows a foreign investor to sue a government if they believe a new law or policy harms their investment.

Australia and the UK have signed and ratified the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement which will come into force soon. After community campaigning in Australia and the UK, both governments agreed to exclude ISDS from that agreement, as both expressed trust in each others legal systems.

But if the UK joints the CPTPP without Australia taking action on ISDS, British companies could sue the Australian government over law or policy changes, including regulation of carbon emissions and other environmental standards. There have been increasing numbers of cases by fossil fuel companies against regulation of carbon emissions.

Since the late 1980s, British companies have lodged 90 claims against foreign governments using ISDS provisions the third-highest number after US and Dutch companies. British oil and gas miner Rockhopper Explorations recently won 210 million plus interest (about A$360 million) in compensation for lost future profits over Italys 2015 ban on oil and gas drilling within its territorial seas.

OPEC Cant Derail This Massive Opportunity "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

In the end, the ASX 200 went up 2% for the March quarter just gone.

The gain came in the last seven days.

Can things keep running in April?

History would suggest so. April and December are the two best months on the ASX.

But, as Warren Buffett says, if history had all the answers, then the richest people would be librarians.

For example, now we have OPEC+ sticking their oar in the water.

The oil group just announced a surprise one-million-barrel per day cut to stabilise the oil market.

Personally, were I the president of the US, I would implement a perpetual F U policy toward OPEC and release double the amount of oil from the US Strategic Reserve for every cut they make.

Could these OPEC guys be any stupider?

They shift a product that the Western world now despises and is actively trying to make redundant.

I would have thought their best policy would be to keep their head down and grab what they can from whatever time they have left before renewables and electric cars send them into irrelevance.

And theyre trying to stick the world for more cash when it has an inflation problem?

Oil will get a boost in the short term. Long term, this decision does nothing but incentivise the West to flick these losers off as quickly as possible.

Does OPECs move change any thinking for the RBA regarding the next monetary policy decision?

I doubt it, but it probably doesnt help.

The market thinks that the RBA will go on hold.

Stocks could be vulnerable to a fall, in the short term, if the RBA do put in one more rise.

However, none of this changes my game plan. I think now is a superb opportunity to be buying depressed shares all over the place.

I saw an excellent presentation on this recently.

Small caps, for example, are now in the second worst period since 2001. For 16 months they have underperformed against Aussie large-cap stocks.

I dont doubt it for a second, either. Ive watched it all play out in real time.

Our community engagement is great, say councillors, staff "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

Is Byron Council doing a good job of engaging with the community on the issues, policies and projects that matter to you?

Our elected councillors certainly think so.

We are awesome!

At last weeks Council meeting, they unanimously endorsed a glowing report on the functions and performance of the Community Engagement team, providing a healthy dusting of compliments along the way.

The report listed a series of impressive performance statistics achieved by the engagement team.

For example, during the course of last November, 47,000 people viewed Councils social media posts, and Councils website had 106,000 hits.

Councils e-Newsletter went out to 12,000 people, and at least 45 per cent of people actually opened it. This is a far higher proportion than the industry average, which is between 17 and 28 per cent.

Councils Your Say page, one of its key engagement platforms, was also popular, receiving 2,820 views during the same month.

Less budget than other councils

All this was achieved, the report said, on a budget of $458,800 per annum, considerably less than Byrons neighbouring councils.

However, while 71 per cent of respondents to Councils latest community survey reportedly said they were somewhat to very satisfied with Councils overall community consultation and engagement, not everyone is happy with the job Council is doing when it comes to community consultation.

Council has been criticised for a lack of effective consultation in relation to a number of projects in recent times, including two plans to build affordable housing on government and Council-owned land in Mullumbimby.

Councils consultations processes criticised

At other times Councils consultations processes have been criticised for failing to engage the community when only a handful of local residents responded to new plans and strategies.

The head of Councils engagement team, Annie Lewis, responded to some of these criticisms in her written report.

Judging the success of engagement campaigns just on the number of submissions received is a flawed approach, because the number of submissions received is often more of a reflection of the level of controversy of the item, than the reach or influence of the campaign, Ms Lewis said in the report...

The Second Summit for Democracy brings one more flop for Washington "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed by Joe Montero

On Thursday, Washington DC witnessed the conclusion of the so-called second Summit for Democracy, where President Joe Biden gathered representatives from around 120 countries in a stage-managed event that was supposed, they said, to renew democracy.

Just what is this kind of democracy?

Cartoon from Global Times

Like the first summit, this one made it clear that only all about maintaining western dominance across the planet with the United States at the head.

The text of the agenda said there was to be discussion about accountability for human rights, combatting corruption, supporting free elections, democracy, addressing global challenges, including sustainable development, climate change, global health, and food security.

These are important causes about which peoples across the planet want answers for. But they were handled in a way that made it clear they only used as weapons to target nations labelled as the enemy. The speaking list was mostly a roll call of handpicked Washington officials and the usual suspects among world leaders. this was always going to serve an agenda other than the officially provided one.

How can there be a genuine discussion and agreement on democracy in the absence of an equal voice and ownership for all parties? There cant be, and this was the point.

By its end, the summit had fizzled out and become another major embarrassment for the United States, lowering its prestige among the family of nations even further. Most of the embedded media limited its reporting of the Summit for this reason.

Many of the 120 nations represented saw right through this and refused to endorse the Washington generated declaration listing many issues and including a condemnation of Russia. Seventy three voted for it, and 14  of these under economic and political pressure and with reservations. Forty seven voted against. But when considered along with those nations not invited because they do not subtribe to Washingtons foreign policy, less than half of the worlds nations are in support.

Germany to receive enough Covid mRNA vaccine to last into the 24th century "IndyWatch Feed National"

Having some of the most insanely stupid pharmaceutical contracts in the world

eugyppius: a plague chronicle April 2, 2023

You could not have invented a stupider pandemic:

According to the German Ministry of Health, the federal government at the end of February had amassed a reserve of 116 million doses of Corona vaccine. 111 million more doses, valued at around 2.5 billion Euros, are slated for delivery. According to an answer given by the Ministry on 28 March to a question by Thomas Dietz, a Bundestag member of Alternativ fr Deutschland, EU treaties oblige the German government to take delivery of these doses. In view of the current state of the pandemic, the federal government is working to make these EU treaties more flexible, the answer continues.

Another paper does the maths, and notes that if vaccination continues at the current rate of 2,000 jabs per day, the 227 million doses which Germany will last for 311 years. Of course, all of these doses will expire well before then, so Germany will merely receive all of this useless product, store it at substantial expense in freezers for around eighteen months, and then throw it away. This hurts Corona.

In related news, Welt reports on the curious failure of Lauterbachs Health Ministry to finish work on the so-called National Reserve for Health Protection, which Merkels government planned three years ago. The Reserve was supposed to be a massive depot for masks (but of course), other personal protective equipment and medicines, which would in theory free Germany from reliance on China the next time somebody is stupid enough to cry wolf about a respiratory virus.

So far, the only thing anybody has done to realise this Reserve, is put 245 million masks in it, a substantial portion of which are slated to expire at the end of the year. A Ministry spokesperson explains that the project has devolved from a Health Reserve into a National Trashbin for Worthless Masks that Nobody Wants, because it has received no funding. It appears politicians have lost enthusiasm and now prefer that the manufacturers and the federal states maintain their won decentralised reserves. This obviously means that they have quietly written off the project but hope that nobody will realise it.

Everything old gets to be new again "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

Its often easier to see the way forward by looking at the past and the Lismore Museum has been a valuable tool for doing just that, but like many locations in the town, the museum is yet to recover from last years flood.

Fortunately the Richmond River Historical Society and Lismore Museum has received a State Government grant to help with the refit of the popular museum once the building is repaired from the February 2022 natural disaster.

Society president Robert Smith said the $123,000 grant would be used to install new display cabinets, lighting, shelving and workstations. This will go a long way in helping us rebuild the museum and once again opening it to the community and tourists.

Volunteer run

We are volunteer run and thank the State Government through Create NSW for its support in restoring Lismores museum.

Lismore City Mayor Steve Krieg said he couldnt wait for the museum to reopen. The museum tells the story of Lismore and our region, and how we have progressed as a community.

I would like to congratulate Robert and all the volunteers for the work they have done in saving the objects and archives and preparing the museum for re-opening.

While there is no timeline for the repair of the museum yet, Mayor Krieg said Council had recently appointed a managing contractor to develop a scope of work for all Council facilities.

New research shows companies support stronger modern slavery laws "IndyWatch Feed National"

A coalition of human rights organisations and academics has today released a new research report revealing the results of a detailed survey of nearly 90 business groups on the impact of Australias Modern Slavery Act. Supported by in-depth focus groups, it is the first in-depth study using both survey and focus groups to examine business responses to modern slavery in Australia.

The report Australias Modern Slavery Act: Is it Fit For Purpose? finds that, of the businesses surveyed:

  • 70% support the establishment of an Anti-Slavery Commissioner.

  • 67% would find it easier to comply with the Modern Slavery Act if it were harmonised with international standardssuch as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

  • 61% would likely improve modern slavery responses if required to undertake human rights due diligence.

  • 54% would likely improve modern slavery responses if financial penalties were introduced.

The research also investigated company approaches to remedying modern slavery in supply chains, finding that failing to engage stakeholders presents a major barrier to remediating modern slavery, while increased transparency between companies and their suppliers results in more effective remediation practices.  

The coalition are calling on the government to strengthen the legislation by:

  • Requiring companies to undertake due diligence to prevent and address modern slavery in their operations and supply chains;

  • Introducing penalties for companies that fail to comply with the Act;

  • Ensuring appropriate oversight and enforcement of the Act by appointing an Anti-Slavery Commissioner.

You can download a copy of the research report here.

Freya Dinshaw, Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre said:

The findings from this survey show strong support from business for strengthening the Modern Slavery Act. Right now, there is little evidence the law is driving meaningful action by companies to lift conditions for supply chain workers at high risk of exploitation.

In order to be more effective, the Act should be amended to require companies to take action to address modern slavery risks rather than just reporting on their current practices. There must be penalties for companies that fail to comply, and robust oversight and enforcement by an independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. We urge the government to use the current statutory review to make these key reforms to strengthen the law.

How do we get women into their own homes? "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

In the middle of a housing crisis, where women are some of the most impacted, how do we get women into their own homes?

This is one of the core missions of Womens Village Collective (WVC) , the non-profit organisation, which came together as a grassroots movement in 2020 to address the homelessness and housing stress so many were facing in our community.

With the help of Flood Support funding from The NSW Government, the Womens Village Collective are targeting financial preparedness, equipping people with what is needed to access housing opportunities.

Not financially ready to access opportunities

Those seeking housing need to be financially ready to access opportunities. Many are not. While some are ready but struggling to find the gap in the market, others need financial preparedness to support them towards future housing options.

To get there you need to know what support is available, what you need to do to meet funding criteria and what you need to do to be considered for a bank loan.

The  Housing Solutions Workshop is happening over two dates with the first one featuring speakers from the Bendigo Bank addressing how people access the appropriate Government Home Buyer schemes, like the NSW Shared Equity Home Buyer, targeted directly to single parents, single people over 50, key workers or first time home buyers. This allows eligible first time regional home buyers to enter the housing market with as little as a 5 per cent deposit. The Family Home Guarantee provides eligible single parents with dependents the opportunity to build a new home or purchase an existing home with a deposit of 2 per cent, subject to the individuals ability to service a home loan.

Sharing insights

Also speaking is a mortgage broker with 25 years experience sharing their insights on how to get market ready to buy a home.

Other speakers include Scott Wharton from Green Vision, who is the developer for Vue Eco Village in Goonellabah, speaking about tackling housing affordability as a key building outcome.

Dr Dionne Payne, with a background in finance and delivering affordable housing will speak on how charitable organisations can support traditional housing models and help more people access property.

Sama Balson the WVC founder will share her findings on solutions available through three years of gathering both expert advice on housing models and working with the community on what needs to change to close the gaps of those with homes and those without.

Events open to everyone

These events are open to everyone who wants to learn more about housing solutions.

The first event in the series will be at: Marvell Hall in Byron Bay, this Wednesday, April 5, from 10am 2pm with on site childcare available. Lunch is also available, bookings are essential.

Program to save international students from drowning "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

The Beach Ocean Safety program is aimed at international students.

Many of the drowning deaths on Australian beaches can be attributed to foreign beach goers who dont know how to swim and who have no local knowledge of the dangers in our coastal waters.

Surf Life Saving Club New South Wales have begun a program in the hope of reducing those figures and the first 18 graduates of a new ground-breaking water safety and learn to swim program completed their assessments and received their certificates at Coogee Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday.

The Beach Ocean Safety (BOS Program) is a new initiative allowing surf clubs to engage with the wider community and offer entry level certificates to those completing the course.

A collaborative project

The program is a joint project delivered in collaboration with the University of NSW Health Promotions, UNSW Fitness and Aquatic Centre and Coogee Surf Life Saving Club in response to the high number of international students who have drowned over the last 10 years.

Water and beach culture are part of the Australian experience, yet many international students do not know how to swim and most lack a basic understanding of beach safety.

The UNSW began an International Student Learn to Swim Program several years ago after six students drowned in 2016-2017. Almost 600 participants have graduated from the learn to swim program to date.

Targeted beach safety program

The new targeted beach safety program extends that now to provide international students with the knowledge, skills, and awareness they need to safely enjoy the Australian beach.

The students have participated in a variety of theoretical and practical sessions with Coogee Surf Life Saving Club trainers and lifesavers over recent weeks, including three full-day sessions at the beach.

Participants learn about signage at beaches, different wave types, how to spot and avoid rip currents, basic C...

State of Play Australia 2023: working women remain exploited by denial of equal pay, wage theft and systemic unpaid superannuation "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

 


Private superannuation first emerged for a small group of salaried employees in the nineteenth century and spread amongst white-collar employees. After several failed attempts at introducing national superannuation, private superannuation became more widely available in the 1970s through negotiation on its inclusion in industrial awards. This process accelerated under Productivity Award Superannuation, and subsequently under compulsory superannuation through the Superannuation Guarantee. In this way, the maturing superannuation system has become the vehicle for providing higher incomes in retirement for most Australian employees. At the same time, the age pension remains as an essential safety net income, ensuring that all Australians have security in retirement.  [Australian Dept. of Treasury, (May 2001), Towards higher retirement incomes for Australians: a history of the Australian retirement income system since Federation, p.1]


Here in Australia we like to think we live in an egalitarian society with a long history of social justice and income support via a universal welfare system.


We tend to forget that the national aged pension scheme began in 1901 with eligibility exclusions based on character and race.

A second member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has died by an Israeli air strike in Syria this week, according to Iranian media, as Israel continues to strike targets in the country for a third time in recent days.

Meqdad Mehghani Jafarabadi, a military adviser to the IRGC, died after sustaining wounds from a strike near Damascus on Friday, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Sunday. 

"Jafarabadi, a member of the Revolutionary Guards, was wounded in a criminal attack of the Zionist regime on Friday and was martyred due to the severity of his injuries," the IRGC said in a statement.

"The crimes of the Zionist regime will not go unanswered and they will pay for this."

How to be Well-Informed "IndyWatch Feed National"

The world we live in requires that we are well informed, and because the world is so complex, and because people need to be safe, the latest aid we have to prevent us being misinformed is an AI chatbox ChatGPT. Given my own susceptibility to use my own eyes, I decided to ask ChatGPT some questions. Here are the questions and answers: Q: What are major recent examples of political misinformation?

FIAT What is it Really! "IndyWatch Feed National"

QUESTION: Governments create their own sovereign fiat currency, to facilitate trade, among other reasons. So counterfeit is punishable, in some countries, by death, & at minimum, incarceration. Currency is supposed to be sacrosanct, created under the most exacting conditions. So what to do when your own govt engages in what is essentially officially endorsed counterfeit? I mean, the money has become almost meaningless, unless youre on the receiving end. For non-insiders like mebuy PM.

ANSWER: I have trouble with this misinformation always about the only money is gold and paper dollars are worthless fiats, which have rebuilt the world many times over since 1861 and the introduction of the paper dollar.

 

The propaganda of the goldbugs which has led so many to lose so much has been this nonsense that gold is the hedge against inflation. When the gold coin was money during the 19th century, it rose and fell in purchasing power no different than any paper currency. These pe...

4 Signs He Has An Avoidant Attachment Style "IndyWatch Feed National"

Back in the 1950s, John Bowlby, M.D., and Mary Ainsworth, Ph.D. realized a unique relationship between how a child relates to their parent in their earliest stage. Based on their work, when children do not properly bond with their parents, they end up with dysfunctional attachment styles, like avoidant attachments.

There are four main attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure. When a child is properly bonded to their mother or caregiver early on, they securely attach, and when their bond is somehow stunted, they may end up with one of the others. Anxious attachment styles cause people to be clingy, to be obsessive, and to be fearful constantly of losing their partner or doing something wrong. Avoidant attachment styles lead to people being extremely fearful of commitment and pulling back from emotional depth altogether.

Sadly, being with someone with an unhealthy attachment style can be extremely hurtful. Here are four signs that indicate an avoidant attachment style.

1. When the going gets good, he gets going.

People who are avoidant in their attachment style tend to have difficulty with commitment. Due to this, when things are going well in a relationship or a new partnership, they are likely to bail. To them, good means that they may get attached, and that means they could get hurt. So, instead of being able to feel safe and secure, they pull back.

2. They cling to the past.

Another tell-tell sign of an avoidant attachment is when you notice your partner is stuck in the past. You might find they have a history of this with past lovers. They may collect past love interests on their socials, and you may even hear them constantly reminiscing about someone else.

3. They lack trust in anyone.

People with avoidant attachment styles tend to not trust others. Whenever you tell them you will do something, they will be suspicious. They will constantly be coming behind you, checking to see if you are lying to them or doing them wrong.

4. They are hot/cold.

The biggest sign to me is someone who is either all in or all out. One moment, they seem fine, and they may even talk about commitment. However, when it comes time to pay up, they run for the hills.

Leave Rudy Raff alone, he disliked creationists intensely "IndyWatch Feed National"

Yuck. Stephen Meyer addressed me on Twitter that site really has become a cesspool. Anyway, he claimed I hide my evilutionist views behind complexity, so I had to address that. Because it was so stupid.

Also, Im really annoyed when they drag out deceased scientists who despised them and prop them up as arguments against evolution.

Hey friends!

Stephen Meyer has called me out on Twitter! Well not really Stephen Meyer by his staff. Ive always found it weird when someone has a staff that posts on Twitter under their name, but OK, you be you Mr Meyer. Also its not really about Meyer, since hes just promoting an article by a guy named David Swift who is criticizing me. But sure, Stephen Meyer is poking me at about the third remove, so Ill bite. He quotes this David Swift fellow saying

@pzmyers simply uses complexity as a smoke screen to avoid facing up to the possible falsification of evolution.

Thats a strange and ironic comment coming from the Intelligent Design camp, since complexity is their one argument. It comes from the Swift article, where Im accused of contradicting myself and speaking out of both sides of my mouth, trying to claim evolution is both simple and complicated. Swift says

Can there be a better example of trying to argue that whatever the evidence, evolution is the answer? Where the evidence is consistent with common descent, then of course that is the explanation its simple. And where the evidence is not consistent, common descent is still the explanation but its complicated! Myers simply uses complexity as a smoke screen to avoid facing up to the possible falsification of evolution.

Caught me. Although I do have to mention that the evidence observed so far IS consistent with common descent hell have to show where it isnt. He doesnt. He also hasnt come up with a possible falsification of evolution.

In my defense, though, I will point out that biology is both simple and complicated. This has been an issue in natural history for centuries, at least. On the one hand, we observe all these similarities between organisms that link them. Tetrapods all have similar limb structures, homologous bones making up upper limb and lower limb. But tetrapods also have all these differences, and youll never confuse a bats forelimb with a whales front flipper. A comprehensive theory has to account for both the unity of body plans and the div...

The narrative in retreat "IndyWatch Feed National"

The Lockdown Files have dished up a curious exchange among Britain's top policy advisers in early 2020. On 29 February, responding to a WhatsApp message from Prime Minister Boris Johnson's chief adviser Dominic Cummings that Israeli scientists were just weeks away from developing a Covid vaccine and if this was credible, Chief Scientist Sir Patrick Vallance replied "Short answer is no." Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty explained: "For a disease with a low (for the sake of argument 1%) mortality a vaccine has to be very safe so the safety studies can't be shortcut. So important for the long run." England's highest mortality rate was in April 2020 at 0.6 percent, falling to 0.55 percent in January 2021 and 0.04 percent by January 2023. Based on the original Phase 3 trial data, Bart Classen showed as early as August 2021: "Results prove that none of the vaccines provide a health benefit and all pivotal trials show a statically significant increase in 'all cause severe morbidity' in...

Trump v DeSantis "IndyWatch Feed National"

QUESTION: I thought you were supporting DeSantis. Are you switching to Trump?

SH

ANSWER: This is not about Trump even as an individual. A lot of people hate him for being arrogant. Put personal issues aside. If we are civilized, we do not condemn a person because we do not like him. All of that is absurd. True, I was asked to meet with Trump to talk him out of running in 2024. They wanted me to meet with DeSantis and the story was he was a better administrator. My reply was that I preferred that DeSantis stay right here for they would eat him for lunch in DC.

Even Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr has criticized the indictment, calling it a disgrace and a political hit job. Barr was certainly no Trump fan.

True, I did not think Trump would win in 2024. There were just too many people who drank the cool-aid to get rid of him so they could do precisely what they are doing right now climate and war. I am speaking objectively here and NOT in a political endorsement capacity. The headlines going into 2024 will now be all about Trump. Will that drown out any other potential candidates? These are the serious questions we must deal with. Some Democrats think this will guarantee their win in 2024 even if it is Biden again.

As for all the people who hate Trump and are too blind to look at this objectively, Bragg has crossed the line. This will open the door for Republican prosecutors to do the same to Democrats. This can easily collapse into political civil war at the highest levels. That will only contribute to Socrates forecast that the USA will probably not exist as soon as 2028.

This has NOTHING to do with Trump as a person. Open your eyes! This was a VERY dangerous move and it made no sense. All of these charges and investigations about Trump are insane. They will never change the minds of those in both camps. They are preaching to the choir as they say. The Democrats behind all of this should have left Trump alone. He would have faded into the sunset. Constantly attacking him...

QUESTION #1: Marty, What is going on over there in America? It looks like the country has completely lost its mind. Indicting Trump over such a stupid thing when our politicians over here have open mistresses and in France, you have the head of state who married his high school teacher. How about Berlusconi in Italy who married a 32-year-old? We have a war on our doorstep. Is this some planned distraction so they can start World War III? We are laughing at America over this craziness.

JQ

QUESTION #2:  It looks like this indictment of Trump is precisely what Socrates has forecast. Then a major swing into 2026. Could that be a Trump victory as a backlash against this indictment? I think they are making Trump a symbol of absolute political victimization. The videotapes from January 6th show that were all blown out of proportion with the Democrats calling it an insurrection while the police had walkways set up and escorted the guy with the horns to the podium.
