		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Municipal Council tips are full of discarded analog television sets whose cathode ray tubes contain toxic components and cannot be recycled or just left lying around.
It costs a council about $20 each to have them properly disposed of.
One suggested alternative is to sell such sets off cheap as spare sets to put in children’s bedrooms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following a recent Melbourne “children’s beauty pageant”, the risks of such contests have been debated.
Victoria’s Child Safety Commissioner, Bernie Geary, has issued a fence-sitting statement.  He concedes that these affairs are based on “a perception of competitive beauty and personal appearance” – and that the entrants were wearing “heavy make-up and dresses of adult-like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fashion clothing company, Cotton On, is being sued by Australia’s competition watchdog, the ACCC.
Cotton On recalled a range of sleepwear in November 2010 after the ACCC discovered the products weren’t up to fire safety standards &#8212; despite carrying a “low fire danger” label.
Cotton On continued selling the pyjamas into 2011, according to an ACCC statement [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The media were yesterday quoting recent research suggesting that women in their 50s who drink alcohol are more likely to have a healthy old age than non-drinkers.
Popular news, no doubt.
But does it tell us anything of practical relevance?
The small print reveals that the research is talking about women who drink one standard drink or less [...]]]></description>

Two million young Catholics found their way to Madrid to hear Pope Benedict XVI.
Hundreds of thousands greeted his arrival with deafening sounds.

It tempts one to hope [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read the other day that explicit “hardcore” pornography is now the seventh biggest industry in the USA.
New internet sites appear daily &#8212; making porn easier to access now than ever before.
The most enthusiastic consumers are young men with still immature brains.
The human brain isn’t fully developed until about age 25.

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, London is in chaos.
Likewise Birmingham and other UK cities.
Thousands on the streets looting, assaulting, starting fires.
Everybody has a theory about why it is happening.
Some blame the government for unemployment and reduced welfare handouts.
Others blame multiculturalism.
Some blame the police.
Others blame parents for not keeping their teens under supervision.
So far, I haven’t heard anybody blaming celebrity-atheist [...]]]></description>

The media have been referring to him as a “Christian fundamentalist”.
If they checked his writings they would learn that he is no such thing.
He says himself that he has not attended church for over a decade:
