A successful ending of Police’s and murder’s business!


This is the type of news I enjoy to read the most!. This news with a happy ending, when the good guys got the first prize they were after since the beginning of the situation. Capturing alive the most wanted murderer. After 6 years of tracking him down and a very hard work, which involved a big effort of the community and the police, Malcolm Naden, had been caught. Police arrived at the house where Naden had, previously broke into, and confronted him at the door. He tried to run back but he was blocked by 25 Police Officers from the Tactical Operational Unit and tha Dog Unit. Naden was found in acceptable heath conditions despite living rough for all these years of searching.
The operation was delivered clean, and no shots were used. The dog unit played a reliable role during the procedure.
Malcolm will be charged with murder and the sexual assault of a teenager.
This news represents a significant relief for all the community members who were intimidated by Naden for nearly a decade. The families of the Malcolm’s victims are also glad with his capture and are hoping for justice.
As I mentioned this is the kind of news with a happy ever after ending, because this means the start of a new era of justice and a fair revenge. Good for all!

Clean Up Australia a worthy activity to be part of !

Clean up Australia was born in 1990 as a local community idea of cleaning Sydney Harbour which was affected by pollution and rubbish. Ian Kiernan described as an “average Australian bloke” started this environmental concern, which rapidly became a worldwide campaign. He is a passionate sailor, who achieved his dream of sailing through the ocean. In 1987 when he competed in the BOC challenge solo. After he has back in Sydney, he was determined to reverse the shocking damage to the sea caused by waste and pollution. That is how in 1989, Ian and Kim Mckay (his friend and later co-founder of clean up), launched clean up Sydney Harbour day. This was a massive success. It involved more than 40.000 enthusiastic volunteers who donated time and energy to make the Harbour spotless and more beautiful.

The next year, Clean up Australia was consolidated as an influential environment organisation which with the commitment of the community, government and business brought an effective solution to maintain our world safe, clean and green.      

Currently Clean Up Australia appeals to 80 countries worldwide, interested in recycling solution and clean-up activities, similar to Australian model.

This is a remarkable example of how local, well-structured ideas can have a world appeal and being part of something that will change everyone’s mind. Being involved is an effortless task. Volunteers come from schools, local communities and businesses.
