What is Barak Obama up to today?
Today it was announced that Barak Obama is awarded the Nobel Peace price. And to this he said; "This is not how I expected to wake up this morning. I am both surprised and deeply humbled! "

Find out who your local, state and federal representatives are.
Since I'm a international student and don't know that much about the australian goverment jet, I've diceded to find my local representatives in Norway instead:
Dag Terje Andersen, Anders Anundsen, Svein Flåtten, Sonja Mandt-Bartholsen, Per Arne Olsen, Steinar Gullvåg and Inga Marthe Thorkilsen.

Look up the Queensland or Australian hansard to find the last time your local member spoke in parliament. (I use my local representives in Norway in this question also.)

Let your local member know what you think about their last speech.
I can't find anything, but Dag Terje Andersen is just selected as the stortings president.

What do you think of the Australian Government's plans to censor the internet (the so-called "Clean Feed")???
What place does censorship have in a democracy?

I really don't like the idea about Clean Feed. Censoring have nothing to do in a democracy. I know it is a lot of crap on the internett, but people should be able to say what they want, and make up their own opinion, isn't that what a democrocy is all about?
