		<description><![CDATA[Last week, a Family Court judge (Justice Peter Murphy) stepped down from hearing a case, having been unable to get the parents to agree about anything. (Herald Sun, 4 February)

		<description><![CDATA[The occupants of Canberra’s Aboriginal “Tent Embassy” did their cause no good by terrorising our Prime Minister on Thursday.
That doesn’t mean that the Embassy should not exist.
Aboriginal culture includes the notion of their spirits belong to the land.
Not any land, but the land associated with one’s clan, totem or whatever.
Belonging to this particular land, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[School chaplains have been around for a long time.
Somebody students could turn to for advice who is not part of the machine.
Historically chaplains also educated students in the reality of the spiritual world – less so in recent years.
The Australian Government’s Chaplaincy Program was revised last year allowing schools which preferred could get rid of [...]]]></description>

Nations which have 4%, 10% and 2% Catholic populations.

Horrified responses followed

The military used live weapons to clear protesting crowds.
The soldiers were Sunnis.
The victims were Shi’ites.
The injured were treated by doctors at the local Salmaniya hospital.
