Science Vs. Politics – Australia’s Water Fluoridation Debate
As countries around the world continue to ban their water fluoridation programs citing adverse health effects, Journalist Kate Johnston speaks to Independent Politician Mark Aldridge and Independent Film Maker Jaya Drolma, to find out why Australia is lagging behind. South Australian Independent Candidate and Civil Rights Advocate Mark Aldridge began questioning Australia’s water fluoridation program after encountering some information claiming that the benefits of fluoride on our teeth are largely topical – through application such as toothpaste – rather than systemic. “I couldn’t understand why we were bathing in it, drinking it, washing our cars in it when studies showed the benefits to be topical,” said Mark. “You know where it comes from, right?” he asked rhetorically. I knew, but how many Australians did?

Tragic images of children captured by photojournalists over time
In most cultures, children are valued as precious gifts of life — treasured icons of hope. That stands in stark contrast to photographs circulated this week of a small, lifeless refugee child lying face-down on a Turkish beach with his bright red shirt, little blue cargo shorts and Velcro-strapped, sneakers. Almost immediately, the image became a symbol of the plight of refugees fleeing the Syrian crisis. When children are harmed, abused or neglected, the world gasps collectively — sometimes mobilizing to action. Such visceral stories are often best reported in words, sound and pictures.

I walked out of the Brisbane Writers Festival Keynote Address. This is why. – Medium
I have never walked out of a speech. Or I hadn’t, until last night’s opening keynote for the Brisbane Writers Festival, delivered by the American author Lionel Shriver, best known for her novel “We need to talk about Kevin”. We were 20 minutes into the speech when I turned to my mother, sitting next to me in the front row. “Mama, I can’t sit here,” I said, the corners of my mouth dragging downwards. “I cannot legitimise this…”

So, Mark Zuckerberg wants to repent for Facebook's sins? He can start here
Along with his fellow Jews, Mark Zuckerberg introspected over Yom Kippur and asked for forgiveness via Facebook from “those I hurt this year … for the ways my work was used to divide people rather than bring us together”. He promised to “work to do better”. Presumably, Zuckerberg was referring to the two types of harm that Facebook has recently acknowledged causing: allowing Russian nationals to purchase Facebook ads to aid Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and allowing ad buys on hateful search terms.
