The martyr from the bush

Article Abstract:

Nick Blezinski, a documentary filmmaker, has discovered evidence that may change the way Australians regard the notorious Harry "Breaker" Morant, who fought in the Boer War. Morant's execution, and that of his farrier, may have been ordered by commander-in-chief Herbert Horatio Kitchener as a way to further British diplomatic maneuvers. Morant maintained he was following orders, and Kitchener may have wanted the execution to improve discipline.

They shoot horses don't they?

Article Abstract:

Heavy draught and flawed government water policies lead to heavy sale of horses in Australia. The most disturbing part of the whole problem is that doggers who are the only ones to profit from the whole business butcher most of the horses. With the outbreak of mad cow diseases the demand for horsemeat is at an all time high with most of meat exported to Europe and North America.
