ms lin hatfield dodds, president of the australian council of social security (acoss), national director of uniting care australia and act australian of the year, yesterday withdrew from the olympic torch relay which will be meandering through beijing's sister city tomorrow. she cited recent human rights violations in tibet as her reason for abdicating her position, quote "i hope that it send a message to the world at large that human rights matter." human rights do matter, they mattered in 1989 and 1951 as well not just when the cameras are rolling

i have an opinion and i'm not afraid to use it

the well credentialed lars and the real girl suffered enormously from a supposed indie-crowd this past monday at the nova who for some reason believed they were watching superbad. a subtle, nuanced and well-handled piece was effectively ruined by an ill-tempered audience through whom a contagion of riotous laughter spread. any poignancy or deftness was routed by the gutbusting guffaws of the masses whose delight at the premise if not the execution was obvious. that i maintained any semblance of fondness for the film is a testament to its worth. themes of engagement, illness and alienation were addressed and, on the whole, satisfactorily resolved. this was not a movie about a sex doll with heart. this was a film with heart which i saw with a bunch of dicks.
