Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hgkjmjghv. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hgkjmjghv~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

"condemnation"
i've used the word criticism since most of the quotes we have are in diplomatese, and with the exception of John Howards statement, do not use the word condemn. i'm aware that the bbc calls these statements as "condemnation", but that is bbc's expressed judgement, and i don't know enough of diplomat-speak to judge the tone of the statements. also, i've xplained the reason for my revert in the edit summary, so did not get around to replying to ur message.

overwriting
looks like i overwrote the cnn source u added, during an edit conflict. sorry. Doldrums 13:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Truncating articles
Do you use Firefox with Google Toolbar? If you are, then it's truncating pages you're editing:. Until the bug is resolved, I advise that you uninstall the Toolbar or use a different browser. —     00:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Jacques Divol 23:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Eeep! No!
I certainly didn't mean you should rename all the prior articles on the Israel-Lebanon crisis, we need descriptive names. The generic name should be used until the article is comepleted and only published with if there is no significant item to "flavour" the title with. Can you change them all back? --Brian McNeil / talk 22:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting on my RfA. Unfortunately a consensus was not reached. Anyway, thanks for voting. MyName 01:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

the 'Hezbollah intelligence claim they discovered Israeli war plan'
I cant find the sorces for your edits in the article. I been looking for them but not find them. I would happily put in your editings, or you might do it, if the sources are clear. international 22:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Images
Do you have specific articles which these are going to be a part of? Wikinews is not a photo gallery for IRIN; they have their own website for that. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand Christmas road toll is at ten

December 27, 2005

The New Zealand Christmas road toll has climbed to only one fewer; than the 11 deaths in the entire period last year; after four people were killed today. The official Christmas-New Year road toll runs between 4pm on 24th December and 8am on 4th January

“There are 10 families now having to plan funerals and that's enormously tragic for all of those involved”. Says National Road Manager; Superintendent Dave Cliff. He says that he is “disappointed with the high toll this far.”

Road victims this Christmas 2005 include:

Today:

Earlier in the week:
 * A 19 year old died when a car and a van collided at the intersection of SH60 and Harleys Rd, near Motueka.
 * One person killed on SH4, southwest of Te Kuiti.after car hits a tree.
 * A 10-year-old boy killed yesterday, on SH30, after a 4WD rolls.
 * One person killed at the Kopu intersection. After a car and campervan collide.
 * On Boxing Day, a motorcyclist was killed on SH1 between Orewa and Waiwera.
 * On Christmas Day in Wanganui, a 15-year-old was killed.
 * Also on Christmas day; a 30-year-old man died in a crash on SH35, near Te Kaha
 * On Christmas Eve, two people died in a head-on crash on SH1 south of Kawakawa.
 * And on Friday, a driver was killed at a rail crossing near Sefton.

I'm afraid Rodolfo Valentin is not suitable for Wikinews. As you have probably guessed, we are a newssite. This is a biography. It, if the guy is relevant, might be suitable for Wikipedia. --Deprifry|+T+ 23:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:EU threatens to fine Microsoft for failing to open Windows Server

Opinion:

One feels that Microsoft could solve its problems with the EU quite simply by freezing all further development of future products for use in Europe. Other platforms could fill in the gap. If not I am sure the EU could fund a company to fill in the gap.

Actor Vincent Schiavelli dies in Sicily at age 57

December 27, 2005

The well-known character actor, Vincent Schiavelli has died at his home in Polizzi Generosa, Sicily. He was 57.

Schiavelli appeared in more than 120 films and television shows including the movie "Ghost" where he played opposite Patrick Swayze. He was selected in 1997 by Vanity Fair as one of the best character actors in the United States.

Vincent Schiavelli could do with a glance what many actors work a lifetime to perfect. Schiavelli had the countenance of one of Dali's melting clocks, the hooded eyes of a mobster and the smile of someone who might be light years off his meds.

It was a look that launched his career. By the time Schiavelli died at age 57, he had starred in 150 television shows and movies. He had a name people couldn't remember and a face people couldn't forget.

Japan's population declines

December 27, 2005

Japan's population declined by 19,000 in 2005 according to the government census, marking the first time it has shrunk since 1899, when it began keeping records. The decline is caused by the low birth rate of 1.29 children per woman. The declining birth rate has been a concern for the island nation for the last few decades as it supports a larger elderly population; 20% of Japan's population is 65 or older. As of October 1, the population was recorded at 127,757,000.

Boyfriend forces Missouri woman to swallow cell phone

January 1, 2006

Blue Springs, Missouri police say a woman they thought had tried to swallow her cell phone may have been the victim of assault. The cell phone was caught in the woman's throat when police arrived. Her boyfriend claimed she had swallowed it to keep it away from him.

Melinda Abell required emergency surgery to remove the phone from her throat. Police have now charged the boyfriend, Marlon Brandon Gill, 23, with assault.

Police Sgt. Allen Kintz told the Associated Press that "Our initial press release was that she had swallowed a cell phone. Subsequent investigation found that she didn't swallow the cell phone voluntarily. That was what we were told initially."

Timekeeping will pause into the New Year with a 'Leap Second'

December 27, 2005 The U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. will adjust atomic clocks by pausing (adding) a second, and thus let time pass without counting it for the Coordinated Universal Time or UTC on December 31st. The mark-time will occur on the last tick prior to the 2006 new year.

The accuracy of atomic clocks is based upon the resonance of caesium 133, which was used to define (in 1958) the second as the length of time for 9,192,631,770 cycles of vibration as they pass through a magnetic field. The resonate constancy of caesium exceeds the accuracy of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun.

Because the Earth’s spin will fluctuate due to lunar tides and atmospheric winds, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service has had to request 22 'leap seconds' since 1972. The last adjustment made to the UTC was in 1998.

Wikinews:Briefs

A news brief or short is a very short update on some news, the equivalent of a on Wikipedia. Wikinews would like to expand all briefs into full articles, so if you have information to add to a brief, please do so. Once you have expanded the news article enough, you can remove the expand template.

However, a very short article should still meet the Content guide before being published.

= Writing guidelines for Briefs = Guidelines from User:tomg:

 * 1) Read what you write aloud! Edit the language so it is easy to read and be understood.
 * 2) Short is always best - never make sentences too long. They're difficult to read and often even harder to listen to.
 * 3) Start vague - always begin with very broad language, a basic statement of what's happened. As few names, facts, details as possible.
 * This is the opposite of writing news for normal print. The reason why is the brief may be used as the script for Audio Wikinews, as well as a news summary. The inverted pyramid style of writing does not work as well for listening to news as it does for reading news.
 * 1) Be careful with quotes - attribute the quote before reading it so listeners know it's a quote. Never start a news story with "'EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE' said some random mad scientist".
 * 2) Read Basic Radio Journalism.

Australian copyright laws to be overhauled in 2006

December 28, 2005 The Australian Federal Government has indicated that it will overhaul copyright law in 2006. The changes will legalise the recording of television shows and the right to transfer CDs to portable music devices.

The reforms, instigated by Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock aim to add "fair use" clauses for personal use.

A spokeswoman for Mr Ruddock said the Government was close to finalising draft laws which would allow people to copy music from CDs legitimately to their own portable music devices and tape television to watch later.

At present both "time shifting" (recording a television show to watch later) and "format shifting" (copying a legally owned CD to another format such as MP3 for play on a portable device) are illegal in Australia. While the Australian Federal Police do not pursue offenders, it still must act upon every complaint.

It is unknown whether the new laws will force a levy on blank CDs and portable music devices as they did when the laws were introduced in Canada.

Talk:Australia's richest man dies aged 68

It's hard to believe that Packer was richer than Rupert Murdoch - Packer was only a local Oz businessman, Rupert Murdoch is one of the most powerful men on Earth (of course, his power is not necessarily all represented in money terms.)

Citing some figures from Rupert Murdoch:
 * What Rupert "shares" with his kids: There is reported to be tension between Murdoch and his oldest children over the terms of a trust holding the family's 28.5 percent stake in News Corporation, estimated in 2005 to be worth about $6.1 billion.
 * What Rupert was able to give away: Anna and Rupert divorced acrimoniously in 1998 and Anna Murdoch later revealed that her ex-husband had begun a relationship with Wendi Deng while he and Anna were still married. Anna Murdoch received a settlement of some reported US$1.7 billion in assets.
 * What Rupert avoided paying tax on: In 1999, The Economist reported that Murdoch had made £1.4 billion ($2.1 billion) in profits over the previous 11 years but had paid no net corporation tax.

These are in US dollars, which is more than Oz dollars.

Was Packer's fortune counted for him individually, or him together with his family? In any case, IMHO there needs to be a minor wording change in the article. Boud 22:57, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The difference is that Murdoch owns his in shares, it is quite possible that on paper he might be richer. - 211.30.173.113 11:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

re:Congrats
Thank you! Since I know the languages Spanish and Portuguese only from listening, it makes me especially proud.

Concerning your recommendation: Do you know a link, where I could listen to - in the best case of course - the very same news in one of these languages. Since I don´t speak them, it is "a bit" difficult to know, whether I´ve got the right link. :-) To "hit" the right pronounciation, I have to hear it, otherwise I can´t copy the sound.

When you write to me the "l" sounds a bit like a "u" in Sul and Capital, then - of course - I´ve got a "problem". Because the "u" is - for example - very differently pronounced in different parts of the England (and I mean England, not the UK). In Sheffield, it sounds like the "u" I pronounce, when I speak German, in Penzance it sounds completely different.

If you can recommend a link, I´d appreciate it very much. Gumboyaya 07:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Wow, ... difficult ... especially, since I have only the sound of the one letter. But I´ve tried it nonetheless.
 * Does it sound somewhat like this?
 * http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/2/25/Portuguese_u-sounded_L.ogg
 * Please allow me another question. Is this u-sounded L always pronounced like this in Portuguese, or has this to do with the fact, that in both words a vowel is standing in front of the L?
 * Thanks for your support! Gumboyaya 23:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I shan´t forget to add:
 * In case you are now putting your hands on your ears, please be straight forward. If I did not hit the sound properly, I´ll just find someone from Brazil or Portugal over here and ask them. I´m sure this should be possible.

 * Ok, I guess, I completely missed the point. :-))
 * Thanks for the recording! I suppose, I could copy the name "Mato Grosso do Sul", and even the "da Capital" in "Primeiro Comando da Capital", but I´m lost concerning copying the proper pronounciation of "Primeiro Comando". I guess, I have to learn Portuguese first, to do that properly. But still, I´m going to try, and try, and try ... ;-)
 * BTW, it sounds really beautiful. Alas! Another language to learn. Sooner or later I´m getting to old for this.

Jose Maria Aznar wants NATO to take in Australia and Israel

December 28, 2005

Former Spanish PM Jose Maria Aznar has described the NATO alliance as a zombie organization that needs to reform or is going to die. He said that in order to fight the “dark forces” of islamic terrorism NATO needs to take in like-minded nations such as Australia, Israel and Japan and create a strategic association with regional powers such as India and Colombia.

NATO is structured in such a way that U.S. generals have operational and tactical control. There are two commands, one for transformation and one for operations; each with a Supreme Allied Commander being the highest ranking military officer.

Allied Command Operations (ACO) is in Belgium and is headed by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) who is always an American four star general with the dual role of heading U.S. European Command as well. The Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is in Virginia,USA. It is headed by the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) who is always a U.S. admiral with the dual role of commander U.S. Joint Forces Command (COMUSJFCOM).

void of conversation, is this a namesake? -Edbrown05 08:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Davoid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Davoid~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

NYC Transit asks members to ratify new contracts

December 28, 2005

A tentative contract agreement has been struck, five days after New York City was ground to a halt in a transit strike. The executive board of the (TWU) Local 100 and the  (MTA) had been negotiating under a media blackout, but terms of the agreement have started to come to light: A 3% increase in salary the first year, 4% increase the second year, and a 3.5% increase in their third year. There will be no changes in the employees' pension plan and the retirement age remains at 55 in exchange for employees contribution of 1.5% of their paycheck.

The new contract still must be approved by the state-run authority's board, whose next regular meeting is on January 25, 2006. There is no word yet if a special meeting will be called.

The Union's workers will vote by mail, a process which may take weeks to complete.

Union members probably will ratify the contract because it would be "near suicidal" to strike again, says Gary Chaison, professor of labour relations at in, Massachusetts.

Background
Thirty-four thousand Transport Workers Union members walked off the job on December 20, when negotiations broke down over disagreements concerning pensions, health benefits, and pay. The strike, which lasted three days, affected an estimated 7 million commuters daily.

Talk:NYC Transit asks members to ratify new contracts

School bus drivers in Richmond, Virginia performed a "sick out" to protest for a salary increase. They were given a 50 cent raise and returned to work for all that. -Edbrown05 09:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't see the connection between bus drivers in Richmond, and subway & bus operators, mechanics, and clerks in New York City. Is your point that the TWU went on strike for the money? -- NeoAmsterdam 13:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

There is one sentence can I cannot understand, (line "to their health insurance") I have published it anyway, but someone might send it back because if that sentence, if anyone can fix it please, otherwise I need to get some sleep. -:) Brian New Zealand 10:34, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Could someone justify the line "walked off the job on December 20; after working months without a contract" when the contract expired on December 20? -- NeoAmsterdam 13:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC) ...and can anyone verify that TWU members have to vote by mail? -- NeoAmsterdam 14:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The article is alot better now, cheers everyone Brian New Zealand 22:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Featured Story or more news?
Just wondering what people think about the Featured Story slot - should it remain as is, or be used for a further news type slot (i.e. doesn't have to be necessarily a "featured" style article) --R2b2 01:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The current "top story" is seven months old! Maybe if there isn't a story from the last week, the page should just say "Nothing's happened in New Zealand", possibly with a suitable graphic.

Infoxbox and layout
I recently updated the New Zealand infobox and the main page of the New Zealand Portal, please tell me what you think. --Nzgabriel | NZ Portal | Talk 09:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about removal of the padding around the stories/titles on the main NZ Portal page... To me it looks a bit squashed, and the alignment and use of space of the two non-top stories is a little off too. Also in terms of the Infobox, maybe we could change the right hand Wikinews NZ logo to be the NZ Flag as per the main page? --R2b2 23:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If you wish then you can change it back I was just trying out new features and the NZ Flag idea is good. --Nzgabriel | NZ Portal | Talk 05:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries - I think the Top Story one is ok, its just the other two don't look quite right. Though it could just be the resolution I run my machine at! I'll take a look and have a tweak or two... :D --R2b2 10:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Five U.S. defense contractor lobbying groups block ban on forced prostitution and labor

December 28, 2005

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that five U.S. defense contractor lobbying groups have held back on passing legislation that would ban contractors from involvement in human trafficking for forced prostitution and labor. The congressional mandate was a response to a variety of abuses around the world including labor conditions imposed upon some Iraqis working with contractors in Iraq and a sex slave ring operated by Dyncorp employees during the Bosnian conflict in the 90's.

Congress ordered the Pentagon to implement regulations barring such practices two years ago; and the Pentagon drafted the necessary regulations in the summer of 2005. However, defense contractors such as DynCorp and Halliburton's KBR claim that key portions of the defense department's proposal are unrealistic.

Study says poor African American women less likely to receive pap smears

December 28, 2005 Black American women living in communities with high poverty rates are significantly less likely to be screened for cervical cancer, a study finds.

The Harvard School of Public Health's Geetanjali Dabral Datta investigated the relationship between individual characteristics and larger socioeconomic factors and cervical cancer screening rates. The Febreuary 1 issue of Cancer carries the study. More than 40,000 black women from across the United States participated in the Black Women's Health Study.

"African-American women have twice the mortality rate from cervical cancer as white women," said Elizabeth Ward, the director of the American Cancer Society. "Researchers need to investigate how those differences are related to socioeconomic status. One of the big factors that may account for this finding is access to high-quality medical care. Often communities that have high poverty rates either lack access to good quality care, or people have to travel longer distances to obtain high-quality care."

David L. Katz at Yale University's School of Medicine said; "While this finding is not surprising, it is noteworthy just the same. No one should die of cervical cancer, because a simple screening test reliably finds the condition in its earliest stages when cure is almost universally achievable. Yet, several thousand deaths from this cancer occur each year in the U.S."

Former German deputy foreign minister and family abducted in Yemen

December 28, 2005 Jürgen Chrobog, former Secretary of State in the German Foreign Office, was abducted today in eastern Yemen, along with his wife, their three children, and three locals.

The family was travelling as part of a large group in the country when their vehicle went missing around 460 km east of the capital Sanaá. According the Yemeni interior ministry they were abducted by a tribal group.

Reuters named the captors as members of the Al-Abdullah tribe who told the news agency by phone that the life of the family is not in danger and that they are their "guests". They are reportedly demanding that the Yemeni government release member of their tribe from prison.

A spokesperson for the German Foreign Office said it is unknown whether Chrobog was singled out or if it was just a coincidence that he and his family were taken.

Chrobog had been the German ambassador to the United States from 1994 till 2001 when he transferred to the Foreign Office, where he himself negotiated the release of Germans held abroad.

This incident is the fourth time this year that foreigners were abducted in the country to blackmail the Yemeni government.

Immigration
Perhaps something ought to be said about immigration in Japan, as birth rates don't tell the whole story about the population increase/decrease of a country. - Apollyon 17:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Some fact-checking
I checked some facts in this article, revision as of 16:31, 28 December 2005.

 * 1.29% child birth rate
 * Confirmed with the AP/St. Petersburg Times article

 * main reason being the declining birth rate
 * Confirmed with the AP/St. Petersburg Times article

 * 1/5 of the population over age 65.
 * Confirmed with the AP/St. Petersburg Times article

 * First decline on the record, since 1899.
 * Confirmed with the AP/St. Petersburg Times article
 * Confirmed with the Reuter/CNN article
 * It does not specifically says 1899, but says "more than a century."
 * Contradictory with the Japan Times article
 * There was an "exception" in 1945 (the effect of WWII, I suppose). So the decline is not the first ever. It also says that Census record exists since 1920, not 1899.

 * Current population 127,757,000.
 * Confirmed with the Reuter/CNN article
 * Confirmed with the Japan Times article
 * 127.76mil., it says.

 * Population change was -19K during the past year.
 * Not confirmed with the AP/St. Petersburg Times article, or two additional sources I checked.
 * It cites that death/birth difference is -10K. There is a possibility that -19K is a figure accounting both birth/death and immigration. But reading the Japan Times article, I am inclined to think that -19K is the difference between the previous estimate and adjusted estimate of population.

Well.. I think I'll look for more sources. Tomos 19:38, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I reorganized the above list, and added the resutls of checks against the following sources:
 * Reuters via CNN Japan's Population Shows a Decline (Dec. 27)
 * Japan Times Japan's population declines by 19,000 (Dec. 28)

I'm now out of time, and perhaps this topic is a bit more than I can casually handle, but more research would be good. Tomos 20:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Colombian soldiers killed by rebel group

December 28, 2005

In Vista Hermosa, more than 200 km south Bogota, soldiers were guarding coca eradication workers when they were assaulted by a rebel group, believed to be the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC rebel group who operates near the area of the attack. Reports are varying between 24 and 28 Colombian soldiers were killed in the attack. The Army first reported that 24 soldiers had been killed, but the defense minister later placed the death toll at 28.

Narcotrafficking is a key source of funding for the rebel group, and is likely a reason for the attack. President Uribe is expected to strike back as a result of this attack. According to Reuters, President Uribe is up for reelection in May and this attack could be related to that. Uribe has negotiated peace agreements with some rebel groups, such as the marxist National Liberation Army, but FARC has refused to speak with the Uribe administration. This attack is the worst that has happened since Uribe came into office in 2002. Uribe's father was killed in a kidnapping attempt by FARC in 1983.

Argentina to pay off IMF debt

December 28, 2005 President Kirchner says that Argentina will be able to pay off its IMF debt of US$9.8 billion dollars next week following the New Year weekend. The announcement has come with great applause at home, but according to CNN it has led to a temporary decrease of the value of the Argentine peso in international markets. Payment was originally scheduled for 2008, and paying off the debt early will save Argentina around $1 billion dollars. The payment is made out of the Central Bank foreign currency reports, which according to CNN total $28 billion.

The economic crisis in Argentina started with a recession in 1999. People began to withdraw money from their accounts, which resulted in the government freezing bank accounts. Eventually the country would have to default on a large part of their public debt. The crisis led to the increase of the income gap between the rich and the poor, but policies in recent years have brought that back down to previous levels. Argentina had previously renegotiated private debt earlier this year of $100 billion which reduced the amount owed by 75% according to ABC News.

Rebellion in Brazilian State Prison is over

December 28, 2005 The rebellion at the Urso Branco (White Bear) State Prison in Porto Velho, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rondonia, has ended.

The rebelling prisoners entered into an agreement with the Brazilian authorities. The Secretary of Public Security of Rondônia, Renato Eduardo de Souza, said that the police officers are ready to enter the prison, examine the prisoners and to place them into the cells, and to free the hostages.

Informations from the prison indicated the death of at least 16 persons during the rebellion. However the deaths have not been confirmed and some prisoners have affirmed that the deaths were faked.

The rebellion at the prison began on Sunday. More than 200 people were held hostage and the prisoners were demanding the return of their leader: Ednildo Paula Souza, aka Birrinha, from another prison.

The authorities agreed and said that Birrinha will be transferred to Urso Branco.

Australian refugee contractor accused of breaching its duty of care

December 30, 2005 The Australian Centre for Languages, a company which has a multi-million dollar contract with the Australian government to provide refugee services, has been accused of breaching its duty of care following the death of a chronically ill child and allegations of failing to provide three women in their care with food.

Richard Niyonsaba
A two-and-a-half year old child, Richard Niyonsaba, died less than 24 hours after arriving in Australia.

In November, Richard and his family came to Australia after spending time in a refugee camp in Tanzania. Richard suffered from chronic sickle-cell anaemia.

The boy's father, Protais Ntiranyi had been in the country just 18 hours when he woke, at 4am on November 5 to find his son convulsing. Mr Ntiranyi who was alone with his family in a Fairfield flat was frightened and confused as he did not know what to do to help his son.

The family's case worker, from a company called the Australian Centre for Languages (ACL), had earlier shown them a telephone in the flat and allegedly told them to dial 000 in case of emergency. Mr Ntiranyi had never used a telephone and could not speak English.

Mr Ntiranyi, roamed the neighbourhood screaming for help in his native language. The only attention Mr Ntiranyi got was that of a Sudanese refugee, who couldn't understand what he was saying but knew he was clearly distressed and in need of help. By the time he brought the neighbour to his flat his son had died.

Denial of food
Two sisters and another woman from Africa, considered refugees have made claims that they were not provided with food by ACL.

Princess and Yeah Yeah Gbdeah arrived in Sydney on November 4, 2005 and were relocated to Newcastle. The sisters allege that when they arrived in Newcastle, a case worker from ACL presented them with a 12-month lease to sign. They claim that when they refused to sign the lease as they were afraid and unfamiliar with the area that the case worker told them they would not be given any food vouchers.

A third woman, Caroline Nykango, was with the sisters and signed the lease. She was given a $50 food voucher, but did not know how to use it as she had never used a supermarket.

According to the women the only food in the house was an apple, a packet of rice and some oil. The women went without food for 5 days before walking out and meeting a man on the street who took them to a church for assistance.

Princess said "There was no food to eat, she didn't show us how to use the stove, we were sick, we were afraid". "We were told a case worker would come to see us but no case worker came. We told her we didn't want that home, we don't want to sign and she said, 'We will not give you the vouchers unless you sign, we will not give you the food'".

Jenny Witmarsh from ACL said the circumstances described by the women "are not the facts as I understand them".

The two sisters are now living in a house in Hamilton, organised with the help of local citizens.

The matter had been referred to an independent inquiry, which should be completed in early February.

Background and Criticisms
In October the federal government awarded a multi-million dollar contract to ACL for the care and resettlement of refugees - work that was previously carried out by non-profit and volunteer organisations.

It is believed that only days before Richard's death doctors at the Newcastle Refugee Health Clinic had written to the Immigration Department warning the government that problems relating to the health of new arrivals in Australia had emerged in the Hunter Valley. ACL also had the contract for the care of refugees in the Hunter Valley.

Organisations which formerly provided care to refugees have strongly criticised ACL saying that they can not provide the level of care that these people require.

The family of Richard Niyonsaba have called on the federal government to review its policy of outsourcing refugee services. The federal government is unlikely to hold an inquiry with the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, John Cobb disagreeing with the family's version of events.

Greg Barnes from Rights Australia is calling for a review saying "We have a child who comes in to Australia who's obviously extremely ill and his parents are really, on the face of it, given very little or no support at all".

69-year-old Australian mother and son on drugs charges

December 29, 2005

A 69 year old woman and her 39 year old son from southern Australia have been charged with drug offenses following their arrest last week. Evelyn Harvey, a pensioner from Perth, and her son Johnny Harvey, from Prospect have been charged with "(possessing) a prohibited drug with intent" in Western Australia.

West Australian police arrested the pair last week after police intercepted a package sent via road courier, allegedly from the son in South Australia to his mother in Perth. The package containted 3.16kg of compressed cannabis head with a street value of AU$40,700.

Police allege that Mrs. Harvey was knowingly receiving the drugs and distributing them to dealers in Perth.

Detective Senior Saregent Dockery said "If convicted we will apply to the court to have both of them declared drug traffickers". Under Western Australia's crime legislation, the pair's property could be confiscated by the state.

According to police, $5000 in cash was also seized from the pensioner's housing commission unit.
