The simplicity, affordability and effectiveness of the HydrAid water filter hold the promise to make a dramatic impact on the global water crisis, said International Aid President and CEO Myles D.

We are delighted that Dow is joining with International Aid and our growing number of distribution partners to help bring the HydrAid filter to the many thousands of communities suffering from lack of clean water worldwide.
Why conservatives should be the first to say sorry...
On budget night two years ago, I found myself sitting in the Great Hall of Parliament House chatting away with some woman from a Liberal Party branch. After being lectured by her for 10 minutes on why "those nasty Mozzlems" didn't belong in Australia, I thought I might change the topic. So I switched to Indigenous affairs. The conversation went something like this:
SHE: Oh, them Abbos! What they need is a good dose of Western Christian civilisation.
ME: Well, madam, do you consider yourself a conservative?
SHE: Of course!
ME: And do you support the status quo?
SHE: Well, yes I do.
ME: Now on the one hand, we have around 200 years of European cultural status quo on this continent. We also have 40,000 years of Indigenous cultural status quo.
