1	'We can win': Libs talk up run of positive polls Senior Coalition strategists and MPs believe they can win the election this year, reducing the Rudd government to a one-term wonder. nternal party polling also shows voters in outer metropolitan seats are listening to the Coalition's messages about border protection and population growth, The Sun-Herald has learned. People are increasingly worried about the time it takes to get to work and the cost of housing, sources said, and are scared of predictions that Sydney will continue to grow.	40

4	Rudd's risky fear of Beijing 'bastards' Kevin Rudd is not like an earlier generation of political leaders who feared that impoverished Asian hordes would pour down and eat our lunch. His worry is that their offspring can now afford to come armed with the latest weapons and steal our lunch. His solution, however, is much the same. We must 'populate or perish', and also revive the doctrine of 'forward defence'.	39

Gillard on population: An outbreak of commonsense?

Sustainable Population Australia, the nation’s only environment group campaigning on reducing human population, is greatly encouraged by the comments of incoming Prime Minister Gillard about reducing immigration.

Discover biodiversity - every day

Biodiversity is the backbone of all life on earth, and its conservation lies at the very core of IUCN’s work. ‘Species of the Day’ has been launched as part of IUCN’s involvement in the International Year of Biodiversity.

With mounting scientific evidence of a serious extinction crisis, it’s time to take action. “The latest analysis of the IUCN Red List shows the 2010 target to reduce biodiversity loss will not be met,” says Jane Smart, Director of IUCN’s Biodiversity Conservation Group. “It’s time for governments to get serious about saving species and make sure it’s high on their agendas for next year, as we’re rapidly running out of time.”

Each day of 2010 will see a different species featured on the IUCN website, with information on the threats it faces. The 365 species selected represent the entire range of taxonomic groups and cover all regions. We have started by featuring some better known species, including the Polar Bear and will move on to cover plants, fungi, invertebrates and more. Both charismatic and obscure species will be featured, providing an insight into the astonishing level of biodiversity that exists.
