Breaking the Australian Silence - Sydney Peace Prize awarded to John Pilger
The Sydney Peace Prize for 2009 was awarded to Australian journalist and author John Pilger. He delivered his acceptance speech at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday 5 November. The prize citation reads: "For work as an author, film-maker and journalist as well as for courage as a foreign and war correspondent in enabling the voices of the powerless to be heard. For commitment to peace with justice by exposing and holding governments to account for human rights abuses and for fearless challenges to censorship in any form."
Sydney Peace Foundation Director Professor Stuart Rees commented, "The jury was impressed by John's courage as well as by his skills and creativity. His commitment to uncovering human rights abuses shines through his numerous books, films and articles. His work inspires all those who value peace with justice."
In a speech at the Sydney Opera House to mark his award of Australia's human rights prize, the Sydney Peace Prize, John Pilger describes the "unique features" of a political silence in Australia: how it affects the national life of his homeland and the way Australians see the world and are manipulated by great power "which speaks through an invisible government of propaganda that subdues and limits our political imagination and ensures we are always at war -- against our own first people and those seeking refuge, or in someone else's country".
This speech has also been published in full at Information Clearing House and Project Safecom

Hi Mr Borusiewicz,
Carenne Gate: NSW DET spin machine at it again
The local newspaper for the Bathurst region, the Western Advocate ran an article yesterday about how Western NSW Education Director had visited Carenne Special School on Monday to inspect the new buildings which classes moved into at the beginning of this term.
In the article, Mrs McDiarmid said the new classrooms were "state-of-the art and the latest design for special education classes." and made claims that students and staff were thrilled with their new buildings.
Carenne Gate: NSW DET Serious Misconduct unit does not respect confidentiality
I have two emails from Brian Carter's FOI request, clearly showing that the NSW Department of Education and Training's Employee Performance and Conduct Unit (also known as the Serious Misconduct Unit) care nothing for the confidentiality of complainants.
In January, Mr Carter made a formal statement to EPAC, requesting that his complaint be dealt with as a protected disclosure. This was refused as he was "no longer an employee of the department." This document was then circulated to a number of people inside the department, including people to whom it related.
Carenne Gate: Draft letter to Brian Carter from Peter Harvey
This is an email from Peter Harvey to Patrick Quinn drafting a response to an inquiry by Brian Carter. At the bottom of the letter, Mr Harvey acknowledges that he had advised Carenne Support of a lengthy complaint document, which Mr Carter had unsuccessfully tried to have dealt with as a protected disclosure.
Carenne Gate: Anonymous ICAC complaint attributed to Brian Carter
Notification from Grant Marley to Patrick Quinn that an anonymous ICAC complaint has been received which was received as part of Mr Carter's FOI and presumably kept on Mr Carter's file.
