		<description><![CDATA[From the outset, the Australian Greens got it wrong about Afghanistan. In early October 2001 Senator Bob Brown issued a short media release on the subject. The text follows (emphasis added) SAS Squad Should Be Under UN Control &#8220;It is a strategic mistake for Australian troops to be deployed under a US led mission in Afghanistan, Greens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year, hundreds of millions of children around the world get sports injuries. The statistics are horrifying and the problem is by no means confined to children; many grown adults (who really should know better by that stage in their lives) also fall victim to this epidemic of self-harm. Australia is one of the worst [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For years I have considered the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to be an unsavoury organisation. My disillusion really set in when I realised the ABC had no intention of giving fair and balanced coverage to the story of the century:accumulating evidence that the official story about 9/11 &#8211; Founding Myth of the &#8220;War on Terror&#8221; &#8211; is baloney.

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian Labor Party&#8217;s leader in Queensland, Premier Anna Bligh, is an excellent communicator and a very personable politician. She is the first female State Premier in Australia to win an election. Just over a year ago, Bligh&#8217;s leadership during the flooding crisis was exemplary and her personal popularity went sky-high. During this years election campaign she&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Queensland we pride ourselves on being different. Compared with Queensland&#8217;s southern sisters, this huge state that makes up the entire north-east of the Australian continent has a reputation for extremes. It&#8217;s partly deserved. Queensland&#8217;s weather is wilder, our red-necks have redder necks, our greenery is more lush and verdant, beer-guts seem to bulge out further &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is the major publicly-funded broadcaster &#8211; TV and radio &#8211; in this sprawling southern continent. In recent years it has also become active on-line and consequently does an increasing amount of &#8220;narrow-casting&#8221; as well. It&#8217;s often said &#8220;the ABC is the most trusted media organisation in Australia&#8221;. I think it likely the ABC&#8217;s public credibility is higher [...]]]></description>

This is the first time in Australian history a blogger has been promoted so fast. Canberra sources say astonished public [...]]]></description>

Perhaps I should have made use of bold text to highlight key phrases in my twelfth point (emphasis added): 12. The public myth is of a fiercely competitive media environment, in which journalists vie to rush out the truth [...]]]></description>

I realise some people do have strong moral objections to pornography. I respect their right to hold such opinions. I simply don&#8217;t share them myself. Second, I [...]]]></description>
