Turn your PC into a website

This is a fairly useful little application.
What it does is have on your desktop a list of all your files in order as in a web site. I can't test it myself as I am running out of virtual memory. Help!!!

Northern Territory aborigines imprisoned

This post is not to do with web design but with the indigenous population of Australia (aborigines).
It is an issue which I have been involved with all my life as my parents were also.
Today, the Federal Government has made an announcement that it will legislate to overtake Northern Territory laws and Land Acts concerning aborigines, in order to act on a report which has recently come out about the sexual abuse of Aboriginal children in the NT and alcohol abuse.
In Australia, territories are still run by the Federal Government. The ACT is another territory. They have Chief Ministers rather than State premiers.
The new laws include alcohol restrictions on all aboriginal people in the NT.
Those receiving welfare will have 50 % of their cheques held to ensure that children go to school and get meals. Presumably if that doesn't happen, the welfare recipients will lose those benefits (great).
There will be compulsory health checks of all children for signs of sexual abuse.
All X rated films, and porn on computers will be banned with all computers checked for porn (only for aborigines)
In the remote communities people who work for the dole will clean them up!

Well, well, does it sound authoritarian to you? Or just paternalistic. It certainly sounds like we are going back to the fifties.
Don't all ethnic groups suffer from child abuse? Alcohol abuse?
Is there an assumption there that alcohol and porn causes sexual child abuse?
Our Prime Minister, John Howard, announced these changes today. Already aborigines are saying this is genocide in that more stresses on aborigines will kill them.

I haven't gone into the state of health or quality of life of Australian aborigines. I'm sure most of you know how appalling that is.
So what do you think?
