- Pauline Hanson's first speech to the House of Representatives - Pauline Hanson is the parliamentarian who in 1996 presented a rather controversial maiden-speech in Parliament. Some call her a racist, but I'd rather believe she presented fascistic thoughts. Her speech reminded me on some of the stuff Adolf Hitler told the Germans in the 1930s. I'm not saying that Hanson could be compared with Hitler. I'm only saying that the pattern of thoughts is very much alike
- Health information for overseas visitors to Australia
- Leftlink - Victoria's Broad Left Mailing List - the list covers Australia in fact, and this site provides rich resources to other web-sites in Australia
- PictureAustralia - provides access to a large database of images of Australia
- SBS - Australia's National Multicultural Broadcaster - it's even more as it is not privately owned; its program is highly recommended, particularly if you want to know what's going on in the world
