Vanilla, Darlene and TLTR,

a few years ago there was an article about how feminist language was coming back to haunt them.

Things like social justice, etc.

I cant at present remember which author it was, but they pointed out that in the feminist research into DV used what is known as the conflict scale, however as soon as that scale began to be used other researchers, whose research did not match the feminist researchers, the conflict scale then began being critised by feminist researchers.

So if I sound like the radical feminists who I criticise.

I am totally comfortable with that.

HRS,

I'm not sure if there is a website that tells you what is going on "nationally", but if you want to look at a wide-ranging discussion of education, you can go to the forum at www.platowa.com, while there is a fair bit of politics at www.pollbludger.com. For more daily events, there are always the newspaper blogs at The Australian.

Chris C,
Thanks, I will have a look at those websites.

In terms of news or information regards what is occurring nationally, then I have been trying to find a source that is not directly connected to newspapers, as I think it is evident that many journalists will think of their jobs before they think of delivering unbiased news or information.
