OT: Climate Change: Brought to you by...

Here's something interesting.

This site is NSW Mining - "Life: Brought to you by Mining".
http://www.nswmining.com.au/
This site is Mining NSW - "Climate Change: Brought to you by Mining".
http://www.miningnsw.com.au/

Note the URL similarities and the parody of each site.

Rising tide Newcastle, an activist group recently had to move their hosting overseas so it could not be shut down by the mining industry lawyers a third time. You will note the '*' indicating the changes they had to make to rehost it without breeching copyright laws.

Rising tide. http://www.risingtide.org.au/

I am not affiliated with either group but I though it would make for interesting discussion. I heard about this on ABC Radio.

hysterical - I am just as useless pinpointing the other pacific islands on the little game below - the 'geography teacher' isn't much better. my son noticed that tasmania is not counted as part of australia here

although many other little islands are correctly moving as a single puzzle piece with the mainland. Now he's pointed it out I notice we retain a separate country label in many websites eg " the platypus is only found in Australia and Tasmania." We have not received a reply from the iguy as to why Tasmania is not part of Australia!
