In the early hours of this morning my neighbour attacked her children with a knife, and then ended her own life. The child with the worst injuries has now stabilised in hospital, and the other 2 are OK. My best wishes to the family as they deal with this horrific tragedy. From SMH ‘Deadly Dawn [...]
Today Australia said sorry for the ‘stolen generations’ . Rudd is doing all the right things (Kyoto, education, this), and I couldn’t be more pleased that Labour won this election.
