ANALYSIS: How our foreign influence laws have undermined democracy

The Government can force them to do so, force the production of documents about their links and jail those who don't comply.While it was preparing to raid the home and offices of those who hold it to account, it wrote polite letters to those behind the"unprecedented" attack on democracy.

"I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you," weapons inspector Blix sternly warns Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, who he suspects of hiding nuclear weapons."Or else we will be very, very angry with you. And we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are."The threat is real, but it has obscured the worrying crackdown on a free press.

New technology shows the current drought is worse than thoughtResearch using data from a new water-tracking satellite mission gives the first large-scale perspective on the drought, showing that much of eastern Australia was drier last year than during the Millennium Drought. Yeah in other words its more bull shite. Farmers out this way been saying for 6 months it is worse than the millennium drought. I take a lot of photos of clouds, sunsets & sunrises so I noticed when for a year we had so little moisture in the atmosphere that I had far less good photo opportunities, but at least for us here it has turned around now & the sky is back to normal. Nature's cycles are huge.
