| Articles Sound and fury on abortion belies the facts By Marie Coleman - 12 Nov 2004 The Canberra Times, Friday 12 November 2004 WHEN national political and clerical personalities promote a debate on an issue with significant ethical and philosophic connotations through the use of misleading statistics, the public is inevitably misled as to the facts. Download Abortion debate threat to Hard-Won Rights By Natasha Stott Despoja - 10 Nov 2004 Adelaide Advertiser Wednesday 10/11/2004 Women beware: this is the warning shot across the bows of the women of the noughties. Become complacent, shrug off feminism, and watch your rights go down the gurgler, including your reproductive rights. Download Who's Life? By Rachel Power - 01 Nov 2004 This article first appeared in Arena Magazine, No. 73, Oct–Nov 2004. George Bush's policies on abortion and his invasion of Iraq can be seen as part of the same ideology — one based on his professed belief in the sanctity of human life and America's role as its protector. Bush's expectation that the Iraqi people would be dancing in the streets with gratitude for the imposition of US-style democracy is part of the same fantasy that sees a baby as a divine being, a symbol of purity, entirely independent of the mother. In both cases, there is inherent denial of sociological realities and a blind refusal of responsibility for the brutal impact of his policies. Download Baby death rate low, but still a worry By Carol Nader - 16 Sep 2004 Australia has one of the lowest rates of infant mortality in the world, but a greater proportion of babies die here compared to other Western nations, a snapshot of the world's population shows. Download Solomon Islands is feeling pressure from growing pain By Jennifer Power - 11 Jul 2003 The Canberra Times, 11 July 2003 The Solomons isn't another Iraq. Armed forces aren't entering Honiara to depose an evil dictator, despite attempts by some to depict rebel leader Harold Keke as such. Australian troops are going to the Solomons to bring an end to widespread civil violence, much of which is perpetrated by the country's youth.

Bush has just put on hold $US34 million ($A65 million) of funding to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, money which had been agreed to by Congress as part of a foreign appropriations Bill ratified by both Houses last month.
