This new generation of children raised outside their family is not restricted to Aboriginal children but is applied equally to all children across the board. The Department of Child Safety has been given open range to exercise the Child Protection Act 1999 without any recourse left open to the parents of Queensland. ... read full story / add a comment

Andorra is a small country, official language catalan, which sits in the pyrennes between Catalonia and France. It's a great place to hide papyrus, do banking, buy cheap tobacco, ski, and pick wild flowers. Today it's 16,022 registered voters have been called to exercise their democratic right to vote, regardless of ethnicity (they're all andorran), gender, creed, in secret, and they don't get their thumbs inked, so you don't know if an andorran has voted by looking at their paw afterwards. ... read full story / add a comment

CUENCA, ECUADOR – By a unanimous vote Ecuador's lawmakers removed President Lucio Gutierrez from office Wednesday and replaced him with Vice President Alfredo Palacio, following days of intensifying street protests. While the focus of media attention has been on the capital city of Quito, the southern city of Cuenca has been in open rebellion against its former president for the past week.
