"One day you will know that the world is a beautiful place to be and that you are so loved."A 10 year-old holds a letter to the light, trying to read the handwritten scrawl that looks so familiar. At the bottom of the lined page, finished with a confident flourish, is a similarly familiar signature. The realisation comes, with a shock - it''s a letter from the child''s future self. What does it say?If you could write a letter to your childhood self, would it be a handbook of survival, a missive of near misses? Or a soul-lifting celebration of triumph over adversity? In this heartwarming anthology, twenty-five extraordinary everyday people write to their 10-year-old selves, delivering wisdom, witticisms and warnings aimed to smooth the winding road into their future. Along with the lessons learned from the highs and lows of growing up, comes the reassurance of experience and the cumulative benefits of endurance, destined to provide a guiding light to those looking for inspiration.
The Jerilderie Letter Part Two: Australia's Corrupt Prime MinistersFrom the back cover:Australia's democracy was stolen long ago, if we ever had one, by corrupt political parties who are pillaging Australia's assets, at times using corrupt police and courts, for themselves and their mates. This book shines a light on that fact by focusing on corruption by the Prime Ministers who lead the parties. The book chronicles articles, over the last 12 years by investigative journalist Shane Dowling, with documented evidence proving corruption in relation to former Prime Ministers and the current Prime Minister. The book covers blatant corruption and alleged corruption by Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison and others. Many people criticise current Prime Minister Scott Morrison but one thing that he has been extremely good for is to prove just how corrupt a government can become under a corrupt Prime Minister when they are left unchecked. Anyone arguing the case for a federal ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) only has to say the name Scott Morrison and it conjures up in millions of people's minds the image of someone who is morally and ethically bankrupt who cares about nothing but himself. While Scott Morrison is by far the worst Prime Minister Australia has had in recent times, if not ever, he is not the only one who has failed this country. One possible solution is to vote in more independents, and we only needed a few more at the last election and they would have had the balance of power which could have stopped the widespread government corruption. But for people to vote independent they need to understand how the current practice of going from a coalition government of the Liberals and Nationals to a Labor government and back again has failed to give Australia a true democracy. While reading the book you will discover many things about Australia's Prime Ministers that you never knew but should have known which supports the argument: "In a time when old media journalists are being silenced by their bosses who are in bed with corrupt politicians stealing $billions from taxpayers it is even more important for new media independent journalists like Shane Dowling to report the truth".
'Where love commits, law contracts; where love forgives, law seeks redress; where love trusts, law asks for obedience. Living becomes a process of bargaining, not of making love real.'In this second edition of Making Love Real, David Hodges asks whether the 'laws' of Christian Churches encourage or discourage a loving life. He lays bare the difficulties between the Churches as hierarchical institutions and the original intentions of Jesus as presented in the Gospels. He suggests ways that contemporary believers can reconcile their rationality with biblical explanations and allegories written by believers two thousand years ago. Rather than viewing God as a supernatural entity, David explains how each of us can find fulfillment and happiness by making love real in our world.The money received from sales of this book will assist Uniting AgeWell's 'Music For David', a music program that supports people in their homes who are living with dementia, and gives temporary respite to their carers.

A powerful heart-wrenching collection of pieces from the journals of Dylisium for the past six years. This book is not for the faint of heart, which she has made adamantly clear in one of the first pages painted in trigger warnings. The book follows her raw and honest emotions starting with a heart-shattering break up through sadness, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Coming out on the other end is a very strong, yet broken human falling in love again and continually filled with hesitation. It's clear it took a lot of strength to write the book and it will take an even stronger person to read it. Guaranteed, it will be worth it.

I was just starting to come back to life after a major breakdown, when it all began to come together... We were given the task of writing an intimate letter to ourselves during a recovery group session. As my hand flowed across the page and the words appeared in front of me, it soon became clear that to release myself from the anxiety and depression that controlled and overwhelmed me, I just needed to be Me. Although it isn''t quite that simple, I do believe that the most crucial part of any journey from breakdown to recovery, is to explore and re-discover yourself and not be afraid to become the real You- the person you were created to be. ''Breaking Free To Be Me'' has evolved from my own recovery process and a drawing together of the many years I spent studying and trying to understand human thinking and behaviour. It is a collection of short pieces that have been designed to be easy for the reader to ponder and will equip them with some powerful tools as they travel along life''s highway.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on the 3rd of September 2019 that 28% of paedophiles convicted of federal laws do not go to jail so the government is introducing mandatory sentencing laws. By June 2020 when the new laws were passed by the government it had risen to 39%. The minimum inference that can be drawn is that Australian judges and magistrates are running a paedophile protection racket otherwise they would be doing their jobs and jailing the convicted paedophiles.Two examples are firstly, Judge John North gave a confessed paedophile who abused two young girls a suspended sentence due to the paedophile suffering high cholesterol, sleeping problems, having had no sex education and then protected his identity with a suppression order in November 2017. And secondly, convicted paedophile Robert Crick who sexually abused his 5-year-old grandson avoided jail in May 2020 after the Court of Appeal in NSW felt sorry for him because of his claimed health issues and they were worried he might catch the Coronavirus in jail.The book follows journalist Shane Dowling, who specialises in judicial and government corruption, as he cuts too close with his reporting by naming 15 judges, 2 registrars and 1 magistrate as either known paedophiles or suspected paedophiles in an email sent to all the judges of the Supreme Court of NSW and relevant authorities. The documented evidence shows Chief Justice Tom Bathurst abusing his position and ordering court staff to stitch Shane Dowling up for 2 jail sentences, and are trying for a third, but they still can't stop Shane Dowling exercising his right to political communication and free speech which is the real danger to the likes of Bathurst and Co.In the same email Shane Dowling also raised the $2.2 million mafia bribe to NSW judges reported by the ABC and Fairfax Media in 2015 which Justice David Davies confirmed was true in a discussion with Shane Dowling in the Supreme Court of NSW on the 30th November 2015. Shane Dowling reported at the time:"Justice Davies said the bribe took place "30 or 40 years ago" in a clear attempt to downplay it as old news. I responded with words to the effect "it didn't happen that long ago as one of the judges has only recently retired and there are other judges still on the bench". Justice Davies then sat there like a stunned mullet and said nothing."

"When freedom is a luxury, resistance is inevitable."The Government rule the Hub with an iron fist, their strict laws enforced by Derivates, humans with psionic abilities. When one of these Derivates flees her post, they send KC-847, a powerful telekinetic, to bring her back. But KC-847 soon learns he and his team are unprepared for what they find, and their mission goes awry. Flit, a plucky teleporter, works for the Underground resistance, the last refuge for Derivates wishing to live free of the Government''s control. On a routine security patrol, Flit comes across KC-847 and breaks all the rules to bring him back to the Underground. However, KC-847''s arrival brings with it a string of deadly events that threaten the safety of the Underground. Convinced the incidents are more than unfortunate coincidences, Flit refuses to fall back on a false sense of security and drags KC-847 on an investigation that will change the trajectory of Derivate-kind forever.
