Jakarta terrorist bombing: symptom of poverty, war and desperation
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2004/598/598p3.htm>

Acts such as the Jakarta bombing are inhumane, stupid and futile. But
they are also a symptom of a world where poverty, desperation and
hopelessness about the future, and humiliation of culture, religion,
race and nation are more and more pronounced. These evils are driving
some people to acts of insane cruelty. Those who can most be held
responsible for this situation are the people in power: those who decide
things; who design how the world works; who declare wars, invade
countries, support foreign occupations and blithely continue policies
wreaking economic terror on the billions of people who live in the Third
World. [Full article] <http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2004/598/598p3.htm>

James Hardie: Murder by any other name
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2004/598/598p24.htm>

The James Hardie scandal is one of corporate Australia's worst. While
the amount of money involved may be less than some of the high-profile
corporate collapses of recent years, the cynicism with which Hardie's
management evidently manoeuvred to limit the company's liability for
compensation to victims of its deadly asbestos products business is
breathtaking. But perhaps it's not surprising for a corporation that has
long put the drive for profits before the lives of its employees. [Full
