So far protestors in France have blinded someone, blown someone's hand off and smashed all someone's teeth out with a grenade. Disgusting isn't it. BTW that was all French Police.

Let me be blunt: that is neoliberalism prescribing more neoliberalism to cure the failure of neoliberalism. It's soooo fucking stupid but the merry-go-round goes on and on. The media believe it, the politicians believe it the bankers believe it. And they are all wealthy what a coincidence

International law isn’t dead. It’s being tested. Australia can prove it mattersWhen a powerful state breaks the rules, the temptation is to declare international law dead.UN Special Rapporteur Ben Saul has found that the US campaign of boat strikes, which has killed at least 223 people, amounts to “serial extrajudicial killings”. More than 100 international law experts have warned that strikes on civilian sites in Iran may constitute war crimes.The cynics

If you’re talking about the park immediately to the left of Parliament House ( before the water feature gardens though) it was once open to the public. I walked through it many times when I worked in Spring Street. But my understanding is that multiple threats to Parliament caused it to be closed.

”Good” schools teach the “content” necessary to cope with the system and the skills of “learning to learn.“ To follow your passions and to be a lifelong learner. Thinking skills, Habits Of Mind, The Student At The Centre of the learning etc. Things have changed, unfortunately not for all though.
