		<description><![CDATA[Florence Nightingale died 100 years ago yesterday.
Florence had an experience at the age of 17 when, “God spoke to me, and called me to his service.”
Back then, nursing wasn’t a very respectable profession. Hospitals were famous mainly for bad smells and frightening death rates.
Despite family protests, Florence became a nurse anyway. By 1853, she was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Professor Patrick McGorry, officially “Australian of the Year&#8221;, yesterday criticised Prime Minister Julia Gillard&#8217;s recent pledge to provide $277 million for suicide prevention.
He seemed to think it wasn’t enough.
He called the failure of Australian governments to put more money into mental health services for the depressed a &#8220;national obscenity&#8221;.
He told reporters: &#8220;We wrote to the previous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Polls suggest that Labor will win the Australian federal election on August 21.
Which goes to show that &#8212; whatever you may have heard to the contrary &#8212; Australians do NOT believe in a fair go for everyone.
And they do NOT stick up for the underdog.
Anything but.
Perhaps they did once.
Not now.

For example Saint Vincent de Paul Society chief executive, Dr John Falzon, was “disappointed” and called it “a missed opportunity to genuinely move forward”.
