Ramen! LRD celebrates Pastafarianism

Two people at my workplace have now been touched by his noodly appendage. To celebrate their inclusion in the fold, LRD showed off his pirate regalia, while John modelled his new Pastafarianism t-shirt.

Minding the Gap

"It is unacceptable that Australia, a successful, developed nation with a modern economy, should tolerate fundamental inequality between its Indigenous and non-Indigenous people."

Yesterday was 'Close the Gap' day in Australia. 'Close the Gap' started as a campaign by a coalition of NGOs to overcome Indigenous disadvantage but the terminology has now been incorporated into the policies being implemented by all levels of Government to reduce the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous life expectancy.

Obviously LRD is not the vehicle for this discussion, but if you want to find out about 'Close the Gap', join the Galtha conversation at http://www.galtha.blogspot.com/.
