 Valuing the lives of women, children - The Canberra Times - 23 January 2002
Yet in supporting legislation to decriminalise abortion, Legislative Assembly Member Roslyn Dundas attempts to normalise the tragedy of abortion by treating it as just another medical procedure (CT, January 6).
Dundas and other advocates of decriminalisation shy away from the grim reality of what this "procedure" really is: an invasive, violent act that dehumanises women and children.
Descriptions of abortion such as "a common gynaecological surgical procedure" try to hide the fact that abortion takes the life of a child growing in her mother's womb.

Chief Minister Jon Stanhope dismissed the allegation from Ms Dundas as "highly offensive gutter politics from a political opponent in the run-up to an election" and said Ms Gallagher maintained his full support.

 EUROPA - IDABC - Australian state passes Open Source law
Rather than requiring ACT government departments to give preference to the use of non-proprietary software (the first version of the bill said that departments 'should as far as practicable, prefer open source software), the new legislation only requires government departments to 'consider' the use of open source software.
The funds that could be saved on licence fees could then be used to expand the excellent digital divide program, which teaches computer skills to people left behind by the IT revolution", added Ms Dundas.
Use of open source software by governments is gaining momentum around the globe as authorities at all levels become increasingly aware of the considerable savings such an option may bring.
