Look out Johnnie & Kevin 07 - serial killer Ivan Milat's sister-in-law is running for parliament. Getting the attention of the mainstream news channels and pro-gun groups alike, Lisa Milat, the Liberty and Democracy Party's (LDP) ACT Senate candidate, (& the wife of Milat's brother Walter) is on the campaign trail. Although LDP no doubt has many points on its agenda, all things considered it certainly made for some fun news grabs over my Vita Brits this morning hearing her talk about a more relaxed approach to gun control & legalising euthanasia...

It’s a tricky conundrum: overseas travel can open your eyes to our big wide world… but it also contributes to its destruction. Air travel contributes more to global warming than anything else — the food you eat, the car you do or don’t drive, the electricity you use. The good news is that carbon offset groups such as Climate Friendly and Greenfleet allow you to offset your flights for as little as $5 (for a Sydney to Melbourne flight). But such offsets are optional, and don’t change the reality of the tonnes (literally) of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere every time you board that plane. So, what’s the solution? Carbon tax on flying? Fewer flights and longer holidays (the fun option)? Staying home? Let us know what you think.
