No Illusions #02 – Ideas While You Sleep
Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by Cameron Reilly in entrepreneurship, Podcast
Yvonne Adele (aka Ms Megabyte) is a Melbourne-based entrepreneur and founder of Ideas While You Sleep, an overnight brainstorming service for business utilising hundreds of clever global brains. It’s a brilliant idea for helping small and large businesses around the globe leverage the power of crowd-sourcing. It’s so terrific I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of it first.
Christian KRudd Dodges Catholic Royal Commission
Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by Cameron Reilly in Catholicism, politics
He may be an Anglican, but KRudd is “one of the boys” when it comes to protecting the religious establishments of Australia.
According to the BBC:
Australian PM Kevin Rudd has apologised to the hundreds of thousands of people, some British migrants, who were abused or neglected in state care as children.
(via BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Australia ‘sorry’ for child abuse.)
I know from my interview with Dr Wayne Chamley from Broken Rites that the Catholic Church are alleged to have been the main protagonist in this child abuse in Australia but the Federal Govt won’t hold a Royal Commission into the issue like the Irish government did. To deflect the issue, KRudd would rather just apologise. But there’s no justice in an apology. It boggles the mind why the leaders of this country don’t think that the Catholic Church should have to answer for its crimes like any other criminal organisation. As far as I’m aware, the Australian Sex Party is the only political party in this country that has a policy calling for a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse.

No Illusions #01 – Vote 1 For Sex!
Posted on 13. Nov, 2009 by Cameron Reilly in Podcast, politics
Episode 1 of the new show!
The No Illusions Podcast examines the truth about how we’re living our lives.
Today’s guest is Fiona Patten, the founder of The Australian Sex Party. That’s a political party, not a tupperware party. And they are SERIOUS. They have a great set of policies that I endorse, including ending the internet filter and holding a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse by religious institutions. They have two candidates in upcoming elections and Fiona herself is running for Peter Costello’s old seat of Higgins in Victoria. Fiona is running against the Greens Candidate – THE Clive Hamilton, architect of the Rudd Govt’s evil internet filtering plan.
Keep up to date on their progress by following the Aust Sex Party on Twitter.
