Aborigines are Australia's indigenous people. Recent government statistics counted approximately 400,000 aboriginal people, or about 2% of Australia's total population.

Australians lead efforts to move space junk with lasers. 3 November 2014Last updated at 12:10 ET By Nate Cochrane Sydney Global telecommunications systems depend on satellites orbiting the Earth Hundreds of thousands of objects are orbiting in high-velocity swarms around the Earth.
Many of these, in the event of a collision, could ignite catastrophic accidents junking the world's orbital telecommunications networks. Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) is leading efforts to track this potentially killer debris 38,000km (24,000 miles) above our heads, and is at the forefront of a boom in Australian space research. EOS chief executive Ben Greene says space agencies are worried that a trivial metal bolt could hit a satellite, breaking off more space junk missiles that would cripple other satellites. He estimates there are 20,000 orbiting objects "bigger than a football", but hundreds of thousands the size of a nut or bigger, and that a massive space pile-up is likely within 20 years.

Greens want to counter extremism among youth using outreach body. Australians at risk of disengaging from the mainstream and becoming attracted to violent extremism would be targeted by a new national outreach body under a proposal suggested by the Greens.

This body would oversee preventative programs to address social exclusion and stop young people from becoming radicalised. The Greens have strongly criticised the Abbott government’s “extreme” measures toughening anti-terrorism laws and the decision to commit to military action against Islamic State (Isis) in Iraq.
On Saturday the Greens leader, Christine Milne, published her proposal to promote social cohesion, arguing the new centre could take early steps to assist people who might otherwise be vulnerable to extremism.

It’s a road, the East West Link, the most contentious, emotionally charged flashpoint in next month’s Victorian election. Swirling around the politics, the court challenges and the price tag is a question: is this 18km toll road a good idea?
And even if it does have merit, are there better ideas that would ease Melbourne’s gridlock more cheaply? I’ve tried to tease out this question with the help of transport and urban planning experts and others. Gas trading hub. Suicide australia rural. Dairy industry australia.
