• NEWS.com.au | Journalist killed during live report (September 13, 2004): A PALESTINIAN television journalist was killed today as he was giving a live report to camera on deadly clashes between US forces and insurgents in the heart of the Iraqi capital. This is the difference between "collateral damage" and the grisly death of a non-combatant. You can't dehumanise the victim when they get killed on a live TV feed.
• Terrorism issues dominate leaders' debate. 13/09/2004. ABC News Online / NEWS.com.au | Latham wins the war of words (September 13, 2004). That "worm" bullshit has taken these debates the last step into total farce. It's just a game for people to watch the little line going across the bottom of the screen - for the average voter that's way too much distraction to actually focus on the issues being discussed. The only people actually listening to the debate are the people in the studio. I wonder how that audience is selected, anyway?
• FOX SPORTS | League | For the good of the game (September 13, 2004): 'We're getting very close to moving this game to Townsville thanks to (Aussie Stadium CEO) Jamie Barclay and the guys at Aussie Stadium,' NRL chief executive David Gallop said. Never thought I'd see the day where Gallop would do something like this for Queensland teams. Great work by the Cowboys, pity the Broncos couldn't get a win - I swear they lose on purpose whenever I go see them play :(

• Backflip in the offing over cap on student loans - Election 2004 - www.smh.com.au: The Government has not disputed a Labor estimate that there are more than 40 university courses costing full-fee paying students $100,000 or more, which Labor says, along with any move to lift the loan ceiling, would merely put more students deeper in debt.
