		<description><![CDATA[On the afternoon of Friday the 19th of November 2010 there was an explosion in Pike River coal mine, 50km north-east of Greymouth, on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Initially I heard mixed reports about how many men were trapped inside. Two managed to crawl out, and eventually it became clear that [...]]]></description>

However, researchers in Southampton, England, have thrown such fundamentals to the wind, and as a result we now know that “What a person does for a living could play [...]]]></description>

Their mission statement is that they will “Support fairness and freedom in broadcasting through impartial complaints determination, effective research and informing stakeholders.” I don’t know why they call it supporting freedom – perhaps it sounds nice – but basically what they [...]]]></description>

The protestors were pro-republican, and they believe that we should not have a monarch as head of state (hence the burning of the flag, which [...]]]></description>

The campaign was a spinoff from an identical one in the UK where signs declaring the (probable) non-existence of God. They&#8217;ve hit a snag. The company that the group would [...]]]></description>

I have already voted no. In 2007 Sue Bradford of the Green Party was successful in having section 59 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Bain was found not guilty of murder, but given the rather divisive nature of the high profile case, there are still people who believe that he committed the murders of his family in 1994. This raises in my mind an interesting question about what people are allowed to say about their beliefs in public. [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t quite know what I think about whether or not David did it. &#8220;What?&#8221; you might say. &#8220;But the court found [...]]]></description>
