Tent In The Armour

Article Abstract:

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Inlander Commission says it has not completed its final report into the matter of the 30 year old Aboriginal Embassy, but Territories Minister Wilson Tuckey says the embassy will be shut down within a year. Tuckey hints that it will be replaced with an education center and monument. Aboriginal activists set up the embassy in Canberra on the grounds of the old parliament house in 1972 to protest the Australian government's offer of land leases instead of land rights.

Memorial drive

Article Abstract:

Cemeteries and crematoria are using marketing techniques to encourage people to buy memorial stones for their dead relatives. The trend recently has been for fewer and fewer people to erect the kind of headstones that provide any more than the bare facts about the deceased. This is partly due to the cost of headstones, and partly due to cemetery rules that stifle creativity in this regard.

Time for healing

Article Abstract:

Now the church is in the process of rewriting a document that spells out the proper procedure when abuse allegations are made against Church personnel. In the Pell case, there were no clear guidelines to follow.
