		<description><![CDATA[Lawyer Julian Burnside, QC, is known as a “human rights advocate”.
One of his themes is how “Australia doesn’t need to be protected from asylum seekers: asylum seekers need to be protected from their persecutors”.
And he seems to get away with it.
* * *
Mr Burnside must know that the ones needing protection are those in refugee [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Margaret Court is the women&#8217;s tennis equivalent of Don Bradman.
Perhaps the greatest female athlete Australia has produced.
Winner of all four Grand Slam tournament singles titles in the same calendar year (1970).
She won a record 62 Major titles overall.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame states, &#8220;For sheer strength of performance and accomplishment there has never been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tennis player, Bernard Tomic, 19, driving his orange BMW last week was pulled over by police and issued traffic infringement notices for driving contrary to the conditions of his licence.
P-platers normally aren’t allowed to drive a high-performance vehicle &#8212; but Tomic has apparently been granted an exemption because of his career as a tennis player.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems as though Bernard Tomic cheated in his match against Alexandr Dolgopolov the other night.
When interviewed, he showed no remorse.
He is a young man. There should be somebody guiding him.
Perhaps with his great talent etc., winning has become too much of a priority with him.

We can all understand to some extent how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week Michael Clarke, captain of Australia’s test cricket team, made 329 runs.
The newspapers showed photos of him waving his arms in delight when he reached the 300 mark &#8212; arms bearing numerous visible tattoos.
Why would a grown man get himself tattooed?
Why would a cricketing nation put a tattooed person in charge of a team?

		<description><![CDATA[Ex-Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, has written a foreword to a book which promises to be political dynamite.
“How to get expelled from school”, by Professor Ian Plimer.
Its message is that “man-made-climate-change”, as taught in our schools, is not based on good science.

Prof Plimer also promotes conspiracy theories about government backing climate-change views [...]]]></description>

She was allowed to speak, but not until after listening to a preliminary speech by Australia’s Prime Minster, Julia Gillard.
It was supposedly a speech of welcome &#8212; but that notion rang fairly untrue, the Gillard having shown the previous day her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mrs Clinton is in Libya congratulating National Transitional Council bosses, Jalil and Jibril, for disempowering/killing ex-dictator, Colonel Gaddafi.
“The future belongs to you,” she said.
They know that.
“We will support a process of democratisation that respects the rule of law etc.,” she added.
They don’t know so much about that.
Nobody seriously expects a democratically-elected government to be in charge [...]]]></description>

One of her “crimes” was to appear on screen without traditional head-covering.
Surely 90 lashes is too many – but does that mean she should go entirely unpunished?
Marzieh was using the media to undermine an aspect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Jeffress, a supporter of would-be Republican candidate for the US Presidency, Rick Perry, has caused a stir.
He says that opposing candidate Mitt Romney &#8212; a Mormon&#8211; is “not a Christian”.
He labels Mormonism a “cult”.
Mr Jeffress is pastor of a Baptist 10,000-member “mega church”.
Question: are Baptist mega churches Christian?
Anyway, the Democrats are enjoying watching the [...]]]></description>
