Let’s hope we can look back on 2005 as the beginning of the end of mandatory detention. The need for a renewed campaign to abolish it was fuelled by the breathtaking revelation on April 30 that Australian authorities deported an Australian citizen in 2001.

It was only when a family member contacted the immigration department (DIMIA) in early April in response to publicity about mentally ill Australian resident Cornelia Rau’s detention, wondering if the same thing might have happened to Vivian Alvarez, that the government realised its mistake — four years later!

These two cases are the tip of a potentially enormous iceberg. There were attempts to dismiss Rau’s mistaken detention as an isolated incident, but the “accidental” deportation of Alvarez, an Australian-Filipino citizen, whose whereabouts were unknown, points to a far more disturbing pattern. Alvarez’s marriage in Australia had reportedly broken down, and she had a serious mental disorder....

The Old Man tells me that when he was a lad, and worked on a local farm as a labourer in the holidays, that anyone wanting to set up a 'smallholding' could get a government grant.

It's the sort of thing I'd be interested in, so any idea if this scheme is still going? It was a long time ago, mind you!

Thanks.

I have been invited for a party - 7 guys - none are openly gay - the rule of the party is that we will all be naked and will surf the internet for gay images and stories - no one will touch anyone - seems harmless or is it ?

I've heard stories that Scottish people change after they've had a drink and can become violent. Do you think I'll be safe or should I make up an excuse and cancel?
Is it just whisky or do all drinks make them act a bit nuts?

Is there anyone out there who, if I passed you in the street and said "Merry Christmas", would you be offended? Even if you don't celebrate it, it still exists.
People don't make this big a deal out of, say, St. Patrick's Day. Nobody says "Happy Spring Season" or something like that on St. Patricks day. So why do they make such a big deal about Christmas!
If you would be offended if I said "Merry Christmas" to you, please reply.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly 2 years. I have a feeling that he's purchasing something very sentimental for me for Christmas, and I would like to do the same.

Being a college student, I have limited funds
And he... being a musician, is quite hard to shop for.

At one point I had ordered a sterling silver guitar pick that was to be engraved (which was a fantastic idea.) Unfortunately I was just informed that it is out of stock and won't be shipped until mid-January.

So now I am dead out of ideas
HELP!!!???!!!???!!!
