Know What is Happening Around You

The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.

By Editor's Desk

The Australian Federal Police is today mourning the death of one of its members currently serving as part of the Participating Police Force (PPF) of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI).

The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) is currently investigating the matter and has advised that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the member’s death.

The member’s next of kin are being notified.

The member, originally from Sydney, was employed as a Protective Services Officer with the AFP before deploying to Solomon Islands in April 2010 where he served with the PPF.
