Rudd said sorry in 2008. How far have we come?

Government(s) continue demonstrating their true colours towards our Indigenous people and they want to force people from their land, again. Rudd said sorry in 2008. How far have we come?

Lifestyle choice…?

Mr Abbott you spent four days out of 365 days in an Indigenous community and you think you’re an expert. Looks like you need to go back out there and try again, maybe next time you’ll learn something.

Australia’s largest solar farm approval; Bulli Creek, near Toowoomba

Hello and good day Toowoomba Regional Council,

I’ve just read Solargain‘s great news about Australia’s largest solar farm approval, the 2,000 Megawatt Bulli Creek solar farm* near Toowoomba. I’m trying to find the page on your website which shows the approval(s) so I can credit you on my page about how awesome you and SolarGain are for leading the way, since the Federal Government doesn’t look interested…

I’ve checked your website and searched keywords but can’t find anything,
Can you assist please?
