Fwd: A future for community radio
by Peter Ross 06 May '14

[I guess this interests some here] Hi there, Our community radio stations are at serious risk of being forced off air. Will you help protect them? Go to http://committocommunityradio.org.au/hockey today to help. The Commission of Audit has recommended that funding to our community radio stations be cut. If the Federal Government adopts that recommendation in the upcoming budget, it would mean stations right across the country could be forced off air. I don't think we can afford to let that happen, which is why I’ve just emailed the Treasurer, Joe Hockey, and called on him to protect our community radio stations. It was really easy to do - all the words and information are there, you just need to add your details and hit send. Will you join me by sending an email too? Go to http://committocommunityradio.org.au/hockey to send your message We can't afford to lose any of the stations who provide the local content that public and commercial stations can't or won't cater for. Thanks for joining me. http://committocommunityradio.org.au/hockey Thanks, Peter Ross

Star Wars by Shakespeare by Ian Doescher

Hi All, > http://www.amazon.com/William-Shakespeares-Star-Wars-Doescher/dp/1594746370 A great read. Subject line says it all. Scene for scene, line for line, a re-write of the first movie (episode 4). I've heard rumours there's bootleg electronic copies floating around the internet, for those too poor or to hurried to buy a paper copy. Carl Bayswater p.s. A neat companion to the Family Guy and (something) Chicken spoofs.

How much do we want to work?
by Peter Ross 02 May '14

02 May '14

An article I read yesterday, a bit different compared with our budget "emergency" debate here. http://www.spiegel.de/karriere/berufsleben/arbeitszeit-einfuehrung-der-30-s… 35 Wochenstunden, 32 oder 30: In der Malocherrepublik Deutschland ist es keine Schande, weniger Arbeit zu fordern. Und das unabhängig von Kita-Zeiten. Die neue Arbeitszeitdebatte dreht sich um Sinn, Gerechtigkeit und Machtfragen. 35 hours per week, 32 or 30: To ask to work less is not a shame in "hard working" Germany. And not just dictated by opening hours of childcare centres. The new debate about working hours is about reason to work, fairness and power. --- Regards Peter
