“A man like Ahmadinejad who threatens genocide has to be brought for trial in The Hague,” Mr Eitan said.

Asked if kidnapping was acceptable, Mr Eitan told the Associated Press: “Yes. Any …

AUSTRALIAN troops did not use dog pens to hold four Taliban prisoners overnight, Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon says, contrary to an earlier report.

Defence has now told the Minister the enclosure used to detain the four prisoners had never been used for dogs, contrary to a report of a defence inquiry into the alleged April incident.

The report, released last week, sparked an angry reaction from Australia’s Islamic leadership who said no human being should be locked up in dog pens.

The latest advice from defence has upset Mr Fitzgibbon who said it …

KEVIN Rudd has dramatically scaled back plans for a controversial Pacific “guest-worker” scheme amid concerns of a community backlash.

The Coalition has already raised concerns over the radical immigration plan which would allow islanders to work in rural communities for up to seven months.

But with unemployment on the rise, the Rudd Government has halved the number of participants to just 2500 over three years.

Only three countries – Tonga, Kiribati and Vanuatu – will be involved in the pilot scheme, although the Government is keen …

MANDATORY detention for asylum-seekers has been eased under changes to immigration policy announced by the Federal Government today.

“A person who poses no danger to the community will be able to remain in the community while their visa status is resolved,” Immigration Minster Chris Evans said.

Mandatory detention would apply only to those arriving by boat for health, identity and security checks, or those considered a risk to national security or health.

Legal assistance would be offered to those arriving by boat and they could have an independent review of unfavourable decisions.

HOUSEHOLD electricity prices and other essential living costs will rise when the Government introduces an emissions trading scheme.

But pensioners, carers and the least well off will get tax cuts and increased welfare benefits to meet rising costs.

Climate Change Minister Penny Wong released the Government’s widely anticipated policy green paper yesterday, declaring the economy-wide impact would be “profound” and that there was no “cost-free way to tackle climate change”.

Describing climate change from unrestrained air pollution as “the greatest market failure the world has seen”, she committed …
