Petition: Freedom Of Speech
Posted by: shoalhaven on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 05:49 PM
Speeches and other Inspirations NSW Greens MP Ian Cohen thought he was doing the right thing by speaking out for a mate, but while speaking at a small community hall outside of Byron Bay in 2001, the NSW upper house MP made comments that have led to a total legal bill of over $1 million, comprising o­nly $15,000 in damages and the rest in legal costs.Now preparing to sell up his flat in Sydney’s Tamarama and take o­n a bank loan with interest repayments alone of about $1,000 each week, the o­nce outspoken politician is facing financial ruin, all because he criticised a developer.Ian Cohen appreciates the support of those who are contributing to his defamation fund, “smaller donations will be vital in assisting me to pay what will be a crippling interest rate until I can get o­n my feet.”Read more in a recent article from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Speeches and other Inspirations Mr Ian Cohen, a Greens MP, and a strong opposer to the now defunct Mogo
Charcoal Factory proposal, and a very strong opposer of the woodchipping
industry, has been ordered to pay $15,000 in defamation damages as well
as
massive legal costs, after a developer won a High Court challenge late
last year.

The politician who said too much will be in Moruya on Saturday March the
13th for a fund-raiser for his legal costs at the Waterfront Hotel. The
night is aptly called 'Bite Your Tongue'. Fabulous local artists Matt
Southon and Lisa & Tony have donated their time but the big news is that
on his way to a tour of Japan, world renowned didgeridoo player CHARLIE
MCMAHON is taking a detour to play on the night. Charlie is well known
for his work in the seminal Australian band Gondwanaland but lesser known
is that he featured, with the London Symphony Orchestra, on Mad Max -
Beyond the Thunderdome.

Our World: Greens call for whaling intervention From:
Posted by: shoalhaven on Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 08:19 PM
Habitats and what effects them. THE Australian Greens are demanding Prime Minister Kevin Rudd reject a draft plan that would allow the reintroduction of commercial whaling o­n a limited basis. The International Whaling Commission reportedly is also considering allowing Japan to continue hunting in the Antarctic, The Australian reports.Greens leader Bob Brown says the plan will "pull the rug" from under Australia's threat of international legal action against Japan if it fails to stop whaling by November.

Our Country: Cost of water plant to hit $1.6b, say Greens
Posted by: shoalhaven on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 09:04 PM
Sustainability THE Kurnell desalination plant will cost Sydney's households an estimated $1.6 billion over the next decade, o­n top of the $2 billion it cost to build, even though Sydney's network of dams has sufficient water reserves to last several years.Sydney Water began pumping water into the main at Erskineville o­n Thursday, although it will be several weeks before the plant is fully operational.For the next two years and perhaps as long as four years, the plant will operate, even if all dams are full, as it undergoes engineering testing. After that, Sydney Water wants to operate the plant when dam storage levels fall below 70 per cent.

Our Country: ShUT

Habitats and what effects them. On 26 Aug 09, some residents in the Shoalhaven o­n the South Coast of NSW were informed by their local Council of a development application to use an existing shale quarry at Tomerong as a waste facility. The waste deposited would include construction and demolition waste (asbestos?), lead waste, toxic chemical residues, and biowaste amongst other types of waste. The creeks o­n the property drain into Jervis Bay and St Georges Basin, a major tourist mecca o­n the south coast that includes marine and land based national parks.The aim of this site is to bring your attention to this development, keep you informed of its progress, and detail how you can assist in protecting the community, the environment and ensure that this hazardous and offensive development is rejected. Unfortunately, despite the development application being prepared for over 3 years the public has o­nly received less than a month to submit a response!
