Did Hillary get her lying skills from Bill?

Time to do your bit.

And here’s the original ad …

We know who we’d like to be answering the 3am call.

Sorry. Finally.

GetUp’s Executive Director Brett Solomon reflects upon Monday’s candle ceremony.

Laid out before the most powerful institution in the country, the Australian Parliament, 4000 candles flickered spelling out the words ‘Sorry, the first step’.

Over fifty GetUp members in Canberra spent the day laying out the candles on the 60m x 80m lawn. Hard work on a hot day, but as new volunteers arrived with fresh enthusiasm, we managed to prepare the site in time for sunset.

The first candle was lit by Lorna Fejo, a Warumungu woman and member of the Stolen Generations who was taken from her family at 4 years old. As she lit the candle she said, ‘A big relief…at least I’m alive to hear it, I’m one of the lucky ones’.

One of the best ads for the 2008 campaign:

Powerful.

A 90 second book review by Lee Arnold. A must-watch video.

A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books — with the world’s fastest internet connection.

Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council’s network arm, has arranged the connection.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.

Worth noting: “The most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt’s PC,” said Jonsson.
