The Prime Minister of Australia claimed today that he would contest the forthcoming Federal election as the underdog – another tired (and familiar) Howard tactic! The failing politician failed to mention that it was he who created the situation with his inane, ill-considered comments ranging from his hysterical criticisms of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama, as the terrorist friendly candidate, to his astounding comments on HIV and immigration bans. read full story / add a comment

Some years ago, we had a tragic murder at Grange Gorman hospital of two innocent women. It was one of the most horrific murders in the history of the State. Another horrific point about it is the investigation of the Garda Siochana.

Dean Lyon was a young drug addict. Depressive, suicidal and now in hindsight Dean had a walter mitty state of mind as a result of drugs. Yet Gardai had him incarcerated for 9 months in Mountjoy prison. Within a few weeks, they knew their mistake but a junior member within their ranks pushed the issue. Some time later, Dean Lyons, took his own life in London.

From the Bolivian Water war to Uruguayan water referendum and the We Won't Pay campaign in N. Ireland, there is a growing global concern about who benefits from the exploitation of water. How can we ensure that the earth's water is directed democratically and sustainable to the good of its people?

The current population of East Timor is approximately one million souls while the value of its natural gas and oil reserves amount to billions of dollars. However, the tiny new island nation is impoverished with above 35% unemployment and a rural based economy. Without elaborating further, Timor-Leste presents an extremely volatile situation as greedy interests, primarily America via its ‘World’ Bank and Australia-New Zealand acting as the military arm, poise themselves to exploit the impoverished people and nation of Timor-Leste. read full story / add a comment

The Workers Solidarity Movement, along with anarchist organisations throughout the world, refuses to take part in parliamentary elections. Is it not downright weird, or even hypocritical, when anarchists claim to want more democracy than anyone else? Is this a rejection of democracy? Alan MacSimoin tries to answer some of the questions that arise again and again read full story / add a comment
