Australia's federal government said yesterday it was dropping 82 Zimbabwean   official sanctions from financial to travel sanctions ,but maintained a ban on gun-running with Harare and barring children listed individuals from studying there.

Australian's acting foreign minister Graig Emerson said the move recognises that Zimbabwe is  taking important steps to wards democratisation.Emerson 's contention that adult children of listed individuals continue to be prohibited from studying in Australia is likely to stoke tensions in Zanu PF.

"We will continue to uphold this until there is democracy and respect of rule of law",he was quoted saying on live wire on Sunday.

Australia, one of the major donor assistance on humanitarian  to Zimbabwe ,said it is was scaling up aid.

"We want to see Zimbabwe get back to its feet so that  its economy can prosper,its society freer,fairer and democratic",said Emerson.

In my opionion i support these developments by the donor community.Zimbabwe needs tough love but i dont think it is fair to deny some children of these listed guys to study in Australia.

Why we need to keep the fossil fuel and tobacco industries accountable and make them pay for damages

Why we need to keep the fossil fuel and tobacco industries accountable and make them pay for damages The fossil fuel damage….. Fossil fuels emitting carbon dioxide to the environment ( http://www.climate-change-guide.com/causes-of-climate-change.html ) The fossil fuel industries generations huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the environment during energy generation, increasing the greenhouse effect on the environment on a daily basis. This effectively results in negative climate change effects yet it’s the ordinary person who is paying for it-the fossil fuel industry must own up and pay the damages.
