"On Thursday, United States President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act, a USD 1.9 trillion stimulus relief package that provides a maximum of $1400 in direct payments to individuals making no more than $75 thousand annually. The bill was passed in the United States House of Representatives with a 220–211 vote on Wednesday and in the United States Senate with a 50–49 vote along party lines through budget reconciliation.",
"The bill includes $300 billion in unemployment benefits through September and expands the tax credit per child to $3600. The bill also supplies $350 billion to state as well as local governments and $14 billion for distributing vaccines. The bill offers a funding of $130 billion in schools, which would help them reopen safely. Small businesses will get $50 billion, and the Paycheck Protection Program will get $7 billion. Small and mid-sized restaurants, which have been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, will be given $25 billion in relief.",
"White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said US citizens will begin receiving a first round of direct deposits in their bank accounts by the weekend. Additionally, Biden gave a primetime address to discuss how the country will continue fighting COVID-19 after it was proclaimed as a pandemic by the World Health Organization the previous year. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are to travel Atlanta, Georgia and promote the legislation across the country on Friday."

"Por VOA News",
"A Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos (EU) aprovou o pacote de ajuda covid-19 de US $ 1,9 trilhão do presidente Joe Biden, que visa dar ajuda a governos, empresas e milhões de americanos cujas vidas foram destruídas pela crise do coronavírus.",
"A Câmara, controlada pelos democratas, votou na manhã deste sábado, aprovando a medida por uma votação de 219–212. A aprovação coloca Biden no caminho de sua primeira grande vitória legislativa desde que assumiu o cargo em 20 de janeiro passado.",
"O pacote de alívio agora segue para o Senado, cujos 100 membros estão divididos igualmente entre democratas e republicanos, mas onde a vice-presidente Kamala Harris tem o voto de desempate.",
"Os democratas, que controlam de maneira restrita a câmara, argumentaram que a medida era necessária para reanimar a economia e combater a pandemia, que já ceifou mais de 510.000 vidas nos EU. Os republicanos, que apoiaram amplamente os pacotes de alívio anteriores, dizem que outros US$ 1,9 trilhão são simplesmente caros demais.",
"A medida cobre os custos de vacinas e outros suprimentos médicos e fornece pagamentos diretos [espécie de {{p|auxílio emergencial] de US$ 1.400 para a maioria dos americanos. Também oferecerá alívio financeiro de emergência para governos municipais e estaduais, bem como setores empresariais afetados pelas consequências econômicas da pandemia, como os de restaurantes e companhias aéreas.",
"O projeto de lei estende o seguro-desemprego de emergência até agosto, aumenta os incentivos fiscais para menores assalariados e famílias com crianças, e dá ajuda financeira a pequenas empresas.",
"Aumento do salário mínimo",
"O aumento do salário mínimo de US$ 7,25 para US$ 15 por hora proposto pelos democratas está na versão final do projeto de lei, no entanto, essa cláusula provavelmente não será aprovada no Senado. A parlamentar no Senado Elizabeth MacDonough - assessora da Câmara para a interpretação de suas regras e procedimentos, que também vota o pacote - disse quinta-feira que a proposta deve ser retirada do projeto, conforme determina o regulamento da Câmara.",
"A decisão da parlamentar força os democratas a buscarem outros caminhos para que a proposta do aumento do salário mínimo seja aprovada em face da dura oposição republicana.",
"A presidente da Câmara, Nancy Pelosi, disse na sexta-feira que os democratas não desistiriam do aumento. “Se não prevalecer por causa das regras do Senado, vamos persistir ... não vamos parar até que muito em breve aprovemos o salário mínimo de US$ 15”, disse ela em entrevista coletiva.",
"Os democratas estão aprovando a medida no Senado sob regras especiais que contornam a oposição, o que significa que eles não precisarão de nenhum voto republicano se permanecerem unidos."

"United States President George W. Bush has today nominated Michael B. Mukasey as Attorney General. If confirmed by the Senate, Mukasey, a former Chief Judge for the Southern District of New York, will replace Alberto Gonzales.",
"\"He knows what it takes to fight this war effectively and he knows how to do it in a manner consistent with our laws and our Constitution,\" Bush said, while announcing Mukasey's nomination in the Rose Garden.",
"\"I look forward to meeting with members of Congress in the days ahead and, if confirmed, to working with Congress to meeting our nation's challenges,\" Mukasey said in his comments.",
"New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who was among those who sought the ouster of Gonzales, said Mukasey \"is certainly conservative,\" but \"seems to be the kind of nominee who would put rule of law first and show independence from the White House — our most important criteria.\"",
"Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said: \"A man who spent 18 years on the federal bench surely understands the importance of checks and balances and knows how to say no to the president when he oversteps the Constitution, but there should be no rush to judgment. The Senate Judiciary Committee must carefully examine Judge Mukasey's views on the complex legal challenges facing the nation.\"",
"Michael B. Mukasey was nominated as a federal district judge in Manhattan by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. He took the bench in 1988 and served in that position for 18 years, including a 6-year tenure as Chief Judge of the Southern District of New York from 2000 to July 2006."

"United States secretary of state, Hillary Clinton stated in an interview on Mexican radio that Americans are helping to fuel the illegal drug trade between the U.S. and Mexico. Clinton was on a two day tour of the nation.",
"\"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians. I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility,\" said Clinton.",
"Clinton also gave thanks to and praised the effort Mexico was putting forth to stop the flow of drugs over the border. \"Clearly, what we have been doing has not worked and it is unfair for our incapacity...to be creating a situation where people are holding the Mexican government and people responsible.\"",
"Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón responded by saying that \"binational cooperation in this area should be strengthened.\" Mexico has used troops in some towns in an attempt to regain control of the cities, which has resulted in many gun battles with drug cartel members and Mexican troops. Ongoing trucking disputes between the U.S. and Mexico have also contributed to an already tense situation.",
"Increased drug related violence in towns and cities on the Mexico – United States border has claimed more than 6,000 lives since 2008."

"Publié le 25 mars 2009 Le chef de la diplomatie américaine, Hillary Rodham Clinton, est arrivée aujourd’hui au Mexique pour une visite de deux jours axée sur la coopération entre les États-Unis et cet important voisin du sud. Les deux pays sont particulièrement préoccupés par le trafic de drogue en provenance du Mexique et la sanglante guerre que se livrent les cartels mexicains pour contrôler ce commerce lucratif, qui a fait quelque 5 300 morts en 2008",
"Mme Clinton se propose de démontrer le soutien de Washington à la campagne menée par le président Felipe Calderón contre ces cartels et dissiper certaines craintes concernant la stabilité de ce pays. Les entretiens du chef de la diplomatie américaine vont notamment porter sur l’Initiative de Mérida – un effort des autorités américaines et mexicaines pour combattre la criminalité liée à la drogue, dans la zone frontalière. Dans ce cadre, le président Calderon a déployé 36 000 soldats sur son territoire. Les États-Unis ont un appétit « insatiable » pour la drogue et de ce fait, ils sont en partie responsables de la criminalité endémique au Mexique, à la frontière américaine, a déclaré déclare la secrétaire d’État Hillary Clinton. Preuve de l’importance que Washington attache à ses rapports avec Mexico : la secrétaire américaine à la Sécurité intérieure, Janet Napolitano, doit se rendre en visite au Mexique avec son collègue de la Justice, Eric Holder, la semaine prochaine. Elle a fait savoir que les États-Unis vont fournir, cette année, 700 millions de dollars au Mexique, notamment des hélicoptères pour aider les forces mexicaines à appréhender et poursuivre en justice les trafiquants. Le président Barack Obama a dit, hier, que Washington est prêt à « faire davantage » pour aider le Mexique à confronter la violence liée au trafic de stupéfiants à sa frontière avec les États-Unis. L’administration Obama a annoncé de nouvelles mesures pour réduire la violence à la frontière, les transferts illégaux de fonds et d’armes. Ce plan prévoit le déploiement d’un plus grand nombre d’agents fédéraux, d’experts et de matériels dans la zone frontière. Pour le secrétaire d’État adjoint Jim Steinberg, la nouvelle administration américaine voit ses relations avec le Mexique comme un partenariat d’une importance critique. « Le président Obama a déjà noué des liens avec le président Calderón et il se rendra, lui-même, au Mexique, avant le Sommet des Amériques, ce qui donne la mesure de l’importance qu’il attache à cette relation », a fait valoir M. Steinberg. Avant la visite du président Obama, le mois prochain, les responsables de l’administration américaine cherchent à trouver une solution à un différend au sujet de l’accès des poids lourds mexicains au territoire américain : des frictions qui ont amené le Mexique à imposer, en représailles, des droits d’entrée sur les biens et marchandises venant des États-Unis."

In a written statement to Billboard, Chris Arledge, Loomis's lawyer, said Loomis \"never consented to the use of his song\" and the prosecuting side \"look forward to obtaining an appropriate remedy from the court for this clear infringement\".",
"On Loomis & the Lust's Facebook page, Loomis wrote: \"When I wrote this melody in my garage I never imagined it would be sung for the King and Queen of England\", adding: \"I especially never imagined it would be sung by Jessie J.\" Loomis, of the US state of California, placed a YouTube video of Bright Red Chords with Cornish's vocals overlaid on it, to illustrate the apparent closeness between the two songs, in April. The video was subsequently banned from the website on \"copyright grounds\" by Cornish's record label.",
"Cornish, Łukasz Gottwald, Kelly Claude, Martin Sandberg, and Henry Walter are attributed as the writers of Domino. Representatives of Cornish and Gottwald have not commented on the case, although Cornish has previously said about the song: \"People have heard Domino and said, 'It's nothing like you.' But I'm like, 'Well, the album's really eclectic anyway, and I never go into the studio and say, \"I wanna do another song that's like Price Tag or another song like Do It Like a Dude.\" ' \""

"The rape victim, Abeer Qassim Hamza, was 14 years old. Although an FBI affidavit (based on soldiers' accounts) estimated her age to be 25, Reuters obtained documents that gave her date of birth as August 19, 1991. The other victims have been identified as Fikhriya Taha, the girl's mother; her father Qassim Hamza, and her younger sister, Hadeel Qassim Hamza.",

FBI agents had arrested Green on Friday and he is being held in Charlotte without bond pending a transfer to Louisville, Kentucky. He was honorably discharged from the Army in May 2006 because of an alleged \"personality disorder.\"",
"In an affidavit, FBI special agent Gregor J. Ahlers said Green and three other soldiers from the 101st's 502nd Infantry Regiment were on duty at a traffic checkpoint when they conspired to rape the female who lived nearby.",
"According to witness testimony in the affidavit, the soldiers changed their clothes before going to the victims' home to avoid detection. Green took three members of the family - an adult male and female, and a girl estimated to be 5 years old—into a bedroom. Shots were heard from inside the bedroom.",
"\"Green came to the bedroom door and told everyone, 'I just killed them, all are dead,'\" Ahlers wrote in the affidavit.",
"The affidavit is based on interviews conducted by the FBI and investigators at Fort Campbell with soldiers assigned to Green's platoon. One of the soldiers said he witnessed Green and another soldier rape the girl.",

"\"Some said it was insurgents, and in fact, we ruled out the American troops,\" Taha said.",
"The news of the killings and rape was met with a wave of anger in parts of Iraq and the Iraqi government directed at the nature of the current US military presence. \"We believe that the immunity given to members of coalition forces encouraged them to commit such crimes in cold blood (and) that makes it necessary to review it,\" was the opinion of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki during a visit to Kuwait, July 7.",
"One Baghdad resident, Hussein al-Shimmari, said that the incident \"shows the barbaric and aggressive nature of Americans.\" The Americans themselves claim they are in Iraq to help the government protect its democracy and are reported to have reviewed the way soldiers deal with Iraqi citizens.",

"Depois da conversa do estupro, T2, T3, P1 e Green foram até a residência da mulher. T2 lembrou que ele (T2), Green e P1 ingeriram bebida alcoólica antes de ir até a casa. T2 trocou de roupas para que \"não pudesse ser visto\". Green cobriu o rosto com uma camiseta marrom.",
"Assim que chegaram à casa, T2 disse que Green foi ao quarto para manter o resto da família lá. P1 jogou a mulher no chão. Depois que Green fechou a porta do quarto, T2 ouviu tiros vindos de lá de dentro. Green em seguida apareceu e disse: \"Acabo de matá-los, todos estão mortos\". Imediatamente depois disso, T2 testemunhou P1 e Green estuprarem a mulher que T3 havia agora jogado no chão.",
"Depois do estupro, T2 testemunhou Green atirar na mulher, na cabeça, duas ou três vezes. T2 acredita que Green matou as três pessoas no quarto com um rifle AK-47. De acordo com T2, o AK-47 já estava na casa quando eles chegaram.",
"Em 27 e em 29 de junho T3 foi interrogado. No seu depoimento de 29 de junho, T3 disse que ele (T3), Green, T2 e P1 ingeriram bebida alcoólica em 11 de março. T3 ouviu P1 e alguém mais falar sobre em ter sexo com uma mulher. Pouco depois, T2 e P1 vestiram roupas pretas.",
"Depois, T3, Green, T2 e P1 partiram para a casa. Lá, T3 testemunhou Green colocar as pessoas num quarto nos fundos, então fechar a porta. T3 ficou de guarda na porta da frente da casa.",
"Depois que ouviu tiros vindos do quarto, T3 perguntou a Green se estava tudo bem, tão logo Green saiu do quarto.",
"Segundo T3, Green e P1 fizeram sexo com a mulher. Depois que Green terminou de fazer sexo com a mulher, T3 testemunhou Green ficar de pé com um rifle AK-47 na mão. Green caminhou em direção à mulher e atirou nela várias vezes.",
"Depois que voltou ao Ponto de Controle de Tráfego 2, T2 instruiu T3 a livrar-se do AK-47 num canal ao largo da rua e ele fez isso.",
"T3 forneceu aos investigadores da Divisão de Investigações Criminais um diagrama esquemático onde detalhou a planta da casa e a localização dos corpos.",
"No dia 26 de junho T5 prestou depoimento. Em 11 de março T5 estava no Posto de Controle de Tráfego 1 quando um adulto iraquiano apareceu.",
"O iraquiano lembrou que havia uma casa atrás do Posto de Controle de Tráfego 2 que havia sido queimada.",
"O iraquiano declarou que havia quatro pessoas mortas na casa e que uma mulher havia sido estuprada. Depois de cerca de uma hora, e depois que um grupo de soldados iraquianos já tinham sido enviados até a casa, T5, T2 e outros dois soldados dirigiram-se até o local e observaram a cena do crime."

"The US Supreme Court yesterday overturned an eleven-year-old law banning videos that depicted animal cruelty, ruling that such a law violated free speech rights under the First Amendment to the US Constitution.",
"The court's 8–1 ruling overturns a law enacted in 1999 that banned the trade of \"depictions of animal cruelty,\" including \"conduct in which a living animal is intentionally maimed, mutilated, tortured, wounded or killed.\" The case was prompted by the prosecution of Robert J. Stevens, who had filmed and sold videos of dogfights, and subsequently was sentenced in 2005 to 37 months in prison, although he has yet to begin his sentence; his case has remained on appeal.",
"According to Chief Justice John Roberts Jr, the law overturned by the court had been \"a criminal prohibition of alarming breadth.\" The law had been defended by the US government, which had argued that videos of cruelty to animals had no value, and should therefore receive no protection by the First Amendment. Roberts argued the point in his written statement on the ruling, saying that \"The First Amendment means that government has no power to restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter or its content.\" According to Roberts, the law had been too broad, and the court was therefore unwilling to place it outside the protection of the First Amendment.",
"Reactions to the ruling were mixed. A group called the Media Coalition supported the ruling, saying that \"If the court were to rewrite the First Amendment every time an unpopular or distasteful subject was at issue, we wouldn't have any free speech left.\" The US Humane Society called for a new law to be written by Congress, this one more narrow in scope. The society's president, Wayne Pacelle, said that \"Congress should act swiftly to make sure the First Amendment is not used as a shield for those committing barbaric acts of cruelty, and then peddling their videos on the Internet.\""

"Nejvyšší soud Spojených států amerických na svém úterním zasedání zrušil jedenáct let starý zákon zakazující filmy zobrazující týrání zvířat, a to na základě toho, že daný zákon porušuje svobodu slova ve smyslu prvního dodatku americké ústavy.",
"Rozhodnutím 8-1 došlo k zneplatnění zákona z roku 1999, který zakazoval obchod se „zobrazeními týrání zvířat“ včetně „chování, kdy je živé zvíře úmyslně mrzačeno, mučeno, zraňováno nebo zabíjeno“. Podnětem k projednávání byl případ Roberta J. Stevense, který nahrával a prodával videa se souboji psů a následně byl v roce 2005 odsouzen k 37 měsícům vězení. K trestu ovšem ještě nenastoupil, neboť dosud probíhalo odvolání.",
"Podle vyjádření předsedy nejvyššího soudu Johna Robertse byl zákon „zákazem alarmujícího rozsahu“. Státní správa zákon hájila s odůvodněním, že filmy s týráním zvířat jsou nehodnotné a jako takové nejsou chráněny prvním dodatkem. Roberts na to reagoval tím, že smyslem prvního dodatku je, že státní správa nemá právo omezovat vyjadřování kvůli jeho obsahu, myšlenkám nebo pojednávanému předmětu. Podle něj byl zákon příliš obecný a nejvyšší soud tedy nebyl ochoten pohlížet na něj jako na něco, co nezasahuje do ochrany svobody slova dané prvním dodatkem.",
"Reakce na rozhodnutí byly souhlasné i nesouhlasné. Ze strany ochránců zvířat zaznívá požadavek napsat nový zákon, který by zabránil prodeji filmů s týranými zvířaty a zároveň byl vytvořený lépe, aby nebyl napadnutelný s odkazem na ústavu. Naopak skupina Media Coalition byla s rozhodnutím spokojená a vydala prohlášení, že „Pokud by soud měl přepisovat první dodatek pokaždé, když se dostane na přetřes nepopulární či nechutné téma, žádná svoboda slova by nezbyla“."

"The US Supreme Court ruled Thursday in a 5-4 decision that a Washington, D.C. ban of personal firearms possession is unconstitutional. In a majority opinion written by Antonin Scalia, the court found that \"[t]he Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.\"",
"Justice John Paul Stevens delivered a dissenting opinion that acknowledged an individual right protected by the Second Amendment, but disagreed about the \"scope\" of that amendment, writing, \"[w]hether it also protects the right to possess and use guns for nonmilitary purposes like hunting and personal self-defense is the question presented by this case.\"",
"The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, stemmed from a lawsuit brought by special police officer Dick Heller against the Washington, D.C. city government after it refused to issue a permit for him to keep a handgun in his home for personal protection. The District of Columbia had based this refusal on the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975.",
"The Supreme Court decision upheld a 2007 ruling by the D.C. federal appellate court that had nullified gun possession restrictions and trigger lock requirements in the 1975 law.",
"D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty expressed disappointment in the outcome of this case, but stated that he will order the district's police department to provide a means for citizens to register handguns within 21 days. \"It is important to respect the court's authority and to act quickly,\" Fenty said."

"The Supreme Court of the United States on Wednesday April 18 has upheld the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. The 5-4 vote reflected the change in vote count resulting from the retirement of Justice O'Connor and the confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito.",
"The Intact dilation and extraction procedure, also known as partial birth abortion, involves removing an intact late-term fetus from the womb via the cervix. While it is a relatively rare operation - 0.17% of all abortions in the US in 2000, it has become a focal point in the abortion debate.",
"The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act bans the procedure in cases where the fetus is terminated during the operation, unless it is performed to to save the life of the mother.",
"Justice Kennedy wrote in the opinion of the court: \"respondents have not demonstrated that the Act would be unconstitutional in a large fraction of relevant cases.\" Further, he said, \"Respondents have not demonstrated that the Act, as a facial matter, is void for vagueness, or that it imposes an undue burden on a woman’s right to abortion based on its overbreadth or lack of a health exception. For these reasons the judgments of the Courts of Appeals for the Eighth and Ninth Circuits are reversed.\"",
"In a concurring opinion, Justice Thomas stated that he joins \"the Court’s opinion because it accurately applies current jurisprudence, including Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833 (1992).\"",
"In dissent Judge Ginsburg wrote: \"Today’s decision is alarming. It refuses to take Casey and Stenberg seriously. It tolerates, indeed applauds, federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.\"",
"Justice Kennedy's words also recall the complicated issues of standing related to such cases. An issue in Roe v. Wade was the impossibility of any individual having standing in a court proceeding regarding abortion rights, since court proceedings take more than the 9 months of pregnancy, retiring any individual plaintiff's standing before an appeals process can take place. The criterion of \"a large fraction of relevant cases\" may effectively deny standing to any plaintiffs who wish to litigate particular restrictions in some relevant future cases."

It continues to feature Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasury Secretary. The $10 bill is the third US bill to switch from the traditional green. The $20 and $50 bills were redesigned to feature color within the past two years.",
"The improvements in digital technology have made it much easier for counterfeiters. \"Ten years ago, 1 percent of (counterfeit) bills were produced on digital equipment. These days, 56 percent are produced on digital equipment, and the technology is more accessible to the general population,\" said Eric Zahren, spokesman for the Secret Service.",
"According to the Treasury Department, to be able to keep ahead of counterfeiters currency will need to continue to be updated every seven to ten years. The $10 bill was last redesigned in 2000. \"The intention was not to create a counterfeit-proof note—which is basically impossible—but one that's harder to duplicate and easier to authenticate,\" said Zahren. This new bill includes many new and enhanced security features such as color-shifting ink, a watermark, microprinting and a security thread",
"Dawn Haley of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing said in a statement \"The new $10 note design continues the U.S. Government's efforts to make our currency safer, smarter, and more secure.\" The new $10 bill is expected to go into circulation in early 2006."

"Cronulla Beach in Sydney, New South Wales was the scene of racist mob-violence yesterday. In what has been described as disgusting, un-Australian and shameful behaviour, participants in a 5000-strong mob assaulted people suspected of being of Lebanese origin. The angry, alcohol-fuelled crowd also turned on anyone who tried to help the victims, including police, security guards and ambulance officers.",
"Following an attack on two lifeguards earlier in the week, allegedly by men of Lebanese descent, a protest had been organised via text messages and a small number of usenet postings.",
"Sutherland Shire Mayor Kevin Schreiber says inflammatory text messages calling for revenge attacks fueled the violence. Mr Schreiber said the heavily-circulated messages ensured troublemakers went to the southern Sydney beach looking for a fight. Police had patrolled the area all weekend after text messages began circulating among the community calling for vigilante responses to unwelcome visitors on the beach.",
"\"The sending out of that text message was foolish and irresponsible and ensured that people from all over Sydney came to Cronulla looking to cause trouble and this was further fueled by alcohol,\" said Mr Schreiber.",
"Sydney's popular talk-back radio station 2GB also promoted Sunday's event. Breakfast announcer Alan Jones has been accused of \"fanning the flames.\" Callers who recommended vigilante action were not discouraged to take the law into their own hands. Mr Jones, notorious for inflammatory comments, repeated the text message for Cronulla residents to defend their territory several times.",
"As the crowd marched along the beach and foreshore area, waving Australian flags, the crowd chanted racist slogans, with many wearing clothes bearing racist sentiment.",
"Middle Eastern men were openly targeted and assaulted. A young Muslim woman wearing a veil was chased into a kiosk on Cronulla beach. Police tried to move her away from the chanting crowd but were unable to reach the security of the command post. While the woman and police officers hid in the kiosk, a crowd surrounded the kiosk and shouted \"Kill the Lebs\", while others climbed on top of the kiosk.",
"As police horses and special operations officers formed a line and pushed the crowd away, they were bombarded with beer bottles. After half an hour, an ambulance arrived at the kiosk and people were loaded into it. The ambulance, transporting six injured youths, escorted by police and police horses, was also bombarded with beer bottles. One struck an ambulance officer on the head. His colleague suffered lacerations to the arm.",
"A total of 25 people, including two ambulance officers, were injured and about 40 cars were vandalised at Maroubra as the unrest spread to other beachside communities. Police said 16 people had been arrested and charged with 41 offences. Locals said today they were in shock and many refused to be named, too scared of retribution for their comments.",
"Those charged were from Mortdale, Cronulla, Bondi Junction, Kareela, Granville, Lugarno, Greenacre, Mascot, Northmead, Jannali, Sutherland, and Riverwood. Offences included malicious damage, resist police, hinder police, assault police, resist arrest, possess prohibited drug, offensive manner, threaten violence, affray, possess knife in a public place, and driving in a manner dangerous. All of those charged were men between 17 and 40 years of age.",
"A Police strike force had been established to track down those responsible, NSW Premier Morris Iemma said today. Mr Iemma said video and photo evidence would be used to catch the offenders following incidents which he said showed \"ugly face of racism in Australia\".",
"He said the Government would examine what extra police powers would be needed to combat further outbreaks of violence. A meeting of community leaders would be convened to discuss the problem.",
"\"Let's be very clear, the police will be unrelenting in their fight against these thugs and hooligans,\" the Premier said. A series of apparent revenge attacks – including two stabbings – occurred overnight following the unrest at Cronulla.",
"Prime Minister John Howard, at a separate press conference, condemned the violence. He said attacking anyone on the basis of their race or ethnicity was unacceptable and should be repudiated. He has refused to call Australians \"racist\". He himself created racism-related controversy when in 1988 he claimed that the rate of Asian immigration into Australia was too high.",
"Kuranda Seyit, the director of Forum on Australia's Islamic Relations (FAIR), an Islamic think-tank, was disgusted by the weekends violence. \"The Cronulla police must send a loud and clear message to others who are potentially considering vigilante action against fellow Australians,\" Mr Seyit said. He also condemned the previous violence that was allegedly committed by Lebanese men, but said that this does not justify yesterdays violence. \"I realise that the initial behaviour by the thugs who beat the lifeguard was unacceptable but to take it out any anyone who the mob think are not one of them, is not the solution,\" Mr Seyit said.",
"He suggested that a number of people in Sutherland Shire were racist, and this contributed to the violence. \"Obviously the underlying racism and intolerance in the shire is now bubbling to the surface.\"",
"NSW Deputy Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione says police believed neo-Nazi and white nationalist groups were among the crowd. \"That in fact is something that we're following up,\" he told the Nine network.",
"Skinheads wearing boots, braces and neo-Nazi emblems were among the protestors. Three far-right organisations: \"Australia First Party\", \"Patriotic Youth League (PYL) and the Newcastle-based \"Blood and Honour\" - all handed out pamphlets. PYL describes itself as a \"radical nationalist\" group with links to the German-based skinhead group Volksfront, British Nationalist Party and the New Zealand National Front.",
"Australia First's Dr Jim Saleam, who was jailed for 3 1/2 years in 1991 for possessing a firearm and organising a shotgun attack on the home of the African National Congress's Australian representative, said: \"I wouldn't condone it, but I wouldn't condemn it,\" Dr Saleam said his members had recruited up to 120 people for the rally but denied they were involved in violence.",
"Anti-race hate campaigner Matt Henderson-Hau, who runs the Fightdemback.org website, claims only one skinhead at the rally came from within the Sutherland Shire. \"The rest came from the Central Coast, Newcastle and other parts of Sydney,\" he said. Mr Henderson-Hau said neo-Nazis had manipulated the crowd at Cronulla. \"If you remove the Nazis from the equation, you will go a long way to dousing the flames and hopefully some cool heads will emerge on both sides,\" he said.",
"White Nationalist website, Stormfront Downunder, yesterday featured messages from people in the US, Britain and Canada supporting the Cronulla attacks.",
"Most bloggers were in agreement that anyone committing acts of violence should be arrested and punished, regardless of race, place of residence, or justification for their actions. Some are purely critical, whereas others are pointing to previous acts by Lebanese youths to explain the violence.",
"\"Round ‘em up—all of them, from both sides—charge ‘em, convict ‘em, jail ‘em,\" Tim Blair said.",
"\"Are we living in Tsarist Russia where peasants with pitchforks chase Jews down the street?\" said Jason Soon of catallaxy. He made a distinction between these riots and previous riots, such as Maquarie Fields. \"The denizens of Cronulla do not even have the excuse of poverty and deprivation for their actions. The infamy of disgrace will be heavier on them than on the people of Macquarie Fields.\"",
"One blogger said that he did not support Sunday’s violence, but argued that it was understandable after what he described as years of violence and intimidation by Lebanese youths.",
"\"This episode is an absolute disgrace. I, however, absolutely refuse to condemn the people who took that action yesterday, especially given the pattern of wilful inaction from the authorities over the last two years. Far from demonstrating intolerance (arguably, quite the opposite has been demonstrated here, given the facts), put quite simply, everybody has a limit,\" said James Ozark of \"A Western Heart\".",
"Another blogger, who goes by the name \"AnonymousLefty\", issued a challenge to right-wing bloggers and mainstream pundits, asking them to explain how recent events should have been handled. \"What precisely should we be doing differently in order to prevent flare-ups like Cronulla? (If Andrew Bolt and Piers Ackerman are going to devote their next columns to Cronulla - and I'd bet you the shiny biro on my desk that they will - perhaps they'd consider, instead of simply attacking 'multiculturalism' as a vague concept, actually suggesting what they'd do differently.)\"",
"Splat Guy criticised the use of the national flag and anthem during the riot. \"... the ugliest thing of all was the use of symbols of the unity of Australians - all Australians, not just Anglos - like the flag, national anthem, and sports cries as a sort of racial identifier. Really unsavoury, really unacceptable, really unaustralian.\"",
"Racism in post-invasion Australia dates back to the White Australia policy, which started as government policy in the 1880s, became a national law with the creation of Australia as a state in 1901, effectively was stopped in 1973 under the prime ministership of Whitlam, and was completed by further reform in immigration law under Fraser in 1978.

Er kritisiert vor allem die Aussage Howards, die rassistischen Ausschreitungen würden das Ansehen Australiens nicht beschädigen. Peter Beattie, der Ministerpräsident von Queensland, sagte, dass sich die meisten Australier für die rassistischen Ausschreitungen schämten. Die Regierung von News South Wales will die Ausschreitungen mit der Anwendung eines Notstandsgesetzes, das der Polizei zusätzliche Rechte einräumt und zuletzt während der Olympischen Sommerspiele im Jahr 2000 angewandt wurde, beenden."

Los jóvenes de la localidad de Cronulla decidieron entonces formar patrullas para impedir que \"forasteros\" se aproximaran a las playas del sector y atacaron a dos jóvenes de origen libanés que se acercaron a la playa. Este hecho fue ampliamente difundido por la televisión australiana, causando estupor en la comunidad libanesa cuyos jóvenes reaccionaron concurriendo masivamente al sector generando una escalada del conflicto. El día domingo, aproximadamente 5.000 jóvenes que cantaban lemas racistas se habían agrupado para impedir el paso de los \"wogs\", como despectivamente se denomina a las personas no anglosajonas.",

"Existe temor entre las autoridades de que se dé un empeoramiento de los desórdenes al detectarse que los jóvenes de uno y otro bando se están enviando mensajes de texto vía celular en los cuales se planea de un lado atacar la mezquitas y del otro extender los disturbios a otros suburbios para vengar los asaltos a la comunidad libanesa."

Oroligheterna spred sig till en förort där arabiska ungdomar gick till attack mot människor och poliser och slog sönder omkring 40 bilar.",

The demonstrations were initially peaceful, but clashes with counter-protesters broke out by the evening hours.",
"Video captured two factions pushing, punching, and throwing projectiles. A report alleged fireworks and flash bangs were used.",
"As a result of Saturday's unrest, according to a report citing the mayor's office, twenty people were arrested, and two police officers were injured. President Trump lashed out at the capital city's Democratic mayor Muriel Bowser on Twitter, accusing her of \"not doing her job\". The president has blamed Democratic leadership for violence and unrest in various US cities throughout 2020.",
"The president has not yet conceded the election, and has claimed widespread voter fraud with mail-in ballots, and made various legal challenges. State and federal election officials have stated there is currently no evidence to support the President's claims of widespread voter fraud."

"Mogadischu (Somalia), 15.05.2009 – Nach Berichten einer Hilfsorganisation wurden bei drei Tage andauernden Kämpfen in der somalischen Hauptstadt Mogadischu 113 Zivilpersonen getötet, 345 weitere wurden den Angaben zufolge verletzt. Mehr als 27.000 Bewohner sind vor den Kämpfen zwischen islamistischen Aufständischen unter Führung von Hassan Dahir Aweys und Kämpfern der von Sharif Sheikh Ahmed geführten Übergangsregierung geflohen.",
"Sicherheitsminister Omar Haschi Aden erklärte gegenüber Associated Press: „Wir werden die Kämpfe fortsetzen, bis wir diese Elemente ausgeschaltet haben.“ Der Sondergesandte der Vereinten Nationen für Somalia, Ahmedou Ould Abdallah, wies die Schuld für die blutigen Auseinandersetzungen dem Führer von al-Schabab zu. „Die Angriffe der letzten paar Tage, alles was sich in Mogadischu kürzlich abgespielt hat, ist ein Versuch, die Macht durch Gewalt zu ergreifen, es ist der Versuch eines Staatstreiches“, sagte Abdallah auf einer Pressekonferenz in Addis Abeba.",
"Scharif und Aweys hatten 2006 einen Großteil Somalias unter ihre jeweilige Kontrolle gebracht, wurden dann aber von der Übergangsregierung mit Unterstützung äthiopischer Truppen verdrängt. Sharif stellte sich schließlich auf die Seite des von den Vereinten Nationen initiierten Friedensprozesses und wurde im Januar 2009 zum Präsidenten Somalias gewählt. Der Friedensprozess wird von Aweys abgelehnt.",
"Der Angriff der Aufständischen wurde nach Angaben des Sicherheitskommissars der Afrikanischen Union abgewehrt. Al-Schabab kontrolliert mit seinen Verbündeten einen Großteil von Südsomalia. Ein prominenter Sprecher der Organisation bestätigte, dass ausländische Kämpfer die Aufständischen unterstützen. Die Zahl der ausländischen Kämpfer, die seit Anfang des Jahres nach Somalia einsickerte, wird von ausländischen Geheimdienstkreisen mit etwa 500 angegeben. Das Land hat seit dem Sturz Siad Barres im Jahr 1991 keine funktionierende Regierung. Die Übergangsregierung kontrolliert direkt nur einige Straßenblöcke in der Hauptstadt und eine Grenzstadt, konnte aber seit dem Beginn ihres Bestehens im Jahr 2004 nicht die Souveränität über das Staatsgebiet erringen. Dadurch wurde die Piraterie vor der Küste Somalias begünstigt.",
"Russland hat inzwischen bekanntgegeben, dass somalische Piraten künftig in Russland angeklagt und verurteilt werden sollen, wenn russische Schiffe involviert waren. „Die Übergabe von solchen Personen in die Hände der Somalier ist nutzlos“, so der stellvertretende Generalstaatsanwalt Alexander Zwyagintsew. Trotz der Anwesenheit einer internationalen Militärflotte kommt es in den Gewässern am Horn von Afrika immer wieder zu Kaperungen von Schiffen. Derzeit werden 17 Schiffe mit etwa 300 Besatzungsmitgliedern von somalischen Piraten festgehalten.",
"Der EU-Schiffsverband hat in den letzten Wochen vier sogenannten Mutterschiffe aufgebracht, von denen aus die Schnellboote der somalischen Piraten versorgt werden. Dabei wurden nach Angaben des britischen Admirals Philipp Jones 52 Piraten festgenommen, von denen 38 zur Strafverfolgung an die Behörden Kenias übergeben wurden. Admiral Jones dementierte Pressemeldungen, wonach die Piraten Informationen über lohnende Beuteziele aus Europa erhielten. Allerdings würden die Piraten untereinander Informationen über Schiffsbewegungen austauschen. Die EU-Kriegsschiffe haben 23 Frachtschiffe mit Lebensmitteln und Hilfsgütern für Somalia an ihren Bestimmungshafen eskortiert.",
"Nach mehr als zwanzig Jahren Bürgerkrieg sind 3,2 Millionen Einwohner Somalias von solchen Hilfslieferungen abhängig. Die Situation kann sich in naher Zukunft verschärfen, da das Land derzeit von der schlimmsten Dürre seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt betroffen ist, so der humanitäre Co-Koordinator der Vereinten Nationen für Somalia, Mark Bowden. „Etwa 45 Prozent der Bevölkerung leiden an mäßiger Unterernährung.“\nNach UN-Angaben leiden allerdings 24 Prozent der Kinder in der Mitte und im Süden des ostafrikanischen Staates an akuter Unterernährung. Mehr als 1,1 Millionen Somalier sind vor den Kämpfen zwischen der Regierung und militanten Islamisten geflohen und leben in Flüchtlingslagern.",
"Die Zivilbevölkerung wurde von der jüngsten Eskalation überrascht. Bei den Kämpfen wurden nach Regierungsangaben 15 regierungstreue Kämpfer getötet. Unter den getöteten Aufständischen waren zwölf Pakistaner und sieben Kämpfer aus dem Jemen. Besonders die Vereinigten Staaten befürchten, dass sich Somalia zu einer Brutstätte für den internationalen Terrorismus entwickelt."

"Virginia Governor Mark Warner commuted the death sentence Tuesday of convicted murderer Robin Lovitt, preventing him from becoming the 1,000th person executed in the United States since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Lingering doubt over Lovitt's guilt was a key factor in Warner's decision. Lovitt's sentence has now been reduced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.",
"This is the first time Warner has granted clemency in his four years in office. All eleven previous clemency petitions have been denied. Warner chose this petition to be his first, and likely last, granted, noting that clemency should only be used in an \"exceptional circumstance. Among these are circumstances in which the normal and honored processes of our judicial system do not provide adequate relief - circumstances that, in fact, require executive intervention to reaffirm public confidence in our justice system\" [1].",
"Lovitt was sentenced to death in 1999 for the murder of a pool hall manager. His defense team, including former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, argued that DNA tests could have exonerated Lovitt, but weren't performed due to a mistake by a court clerk which resulted in key evidence being thrown away after the trial.",
"Due to the commution of Lovitt's sentence, Kenneth Boyd, who is scheduled to be executed in North Carolina on Friday, will likely become the 1,000th person executed since 1976."

La décision de Warner a été guidée par un doute persistant sur la culpabilité de Lovitt. La sentence a été réduite à de la prison à vie sans possibilité de libération sur parole.",
"C'est la première fois que Warner accorde sa grâce en quatre ans de mandat. Les onze demandes précédentes de clémence ont été refusées. Warner a dit que cette grâce a été sa première et sera sans doute sa dernière, indiquant que la clémence ne devait être utilisée :\" ... que dans d'exceptionnelles circonstances,...\"[1].",
"Lovitt avait été condamné a mort en 1999 pour le meurtre d'un directeur de refuge pour personnes démunies (\"poor hall\"). Ses défenseurs, incluant l'ancien avocat indépendant (\"Independent Counsel\") Kenneth Starr ont plaidé que les tests ADN auraient pu innocenter Lovitt, mais n'avait pas pu être menés à la suite de l'erreur d'un (\"court clerk\") qui a détruit une preuve clé à la fin de la procédure.",
"Kenneth Boyd, dont l'exécution était programmée vendredi, serait donc probablement le millième condamné à mort depuis 1976 à la suite du changement de sentence de Lovitt.\n(Due to the commution of Lovitt's sentence, Kenneth Boyd, who is scheduled to be executed in North Carolina on Friday, will likely become the 1,000th person executed since 1976.)"

"Une journaliste et un caméraman de la chaîne de télévision WDBJ-TV ont été tués par balles ce matin, alors qu'ils faisait une intervention en direct depuis Moneta, en Virginie.",
"Les images diffusées laissent entendre les coups de feu avant que la caméra ne tombe à terre et ne filme les jambes du tireur qui fait feu sur la journaliste. La chaîne a choisi de ne pas diffuser ces images. En début d'après-midi, WDBJ-TV a confirmé la mort d'Alison Parker (24 ans) et d'Adam Ward (27 ans). Selon un journaliste de CNN, la personne qu'ils interviewaient, Vicki Gardner, aurait été touchée au dos et serait hospitalisée.",

"According to police, Cho Seung-hui, the gunman who killed 33 people including himself on Monday at Virginia Tech., sent a package containing pictures and video to NBC, in between the first and second shootings at the campus. The package was timestamped by the United States Postal Service at 9:01 a.m., just under 30 minutes before the second shooting.",
"\"This may be a very new, critical component of this investigation. We're in the process right now of attempting to analyze and evaluate its worth,\" said superintendent of Virginia State Police Colonel Steve Flaherty.",
"The package, which contained a DVD, allegedly contained \"rants against rich people\" and \"warns that he wants to get even\".",
"\"[The package contained a] rambling, manifesto-like statement embedded with a series of photographs\" and the material was \"hard-to-follow ... disturbing, very disturbing — very angry, profanity-laced,\" said Steve Capus, the president of NBC News.",
"At least 23 videos are reported to be inside the package, in a QuickTime format, where Cho speaks about religion and how he hates rich people. No specific names were mentioned in the video. The pictures of Cho show him holding both guns believed to have been used in the shootings, and in some cases he is leaning against a white wall. There are also pictures of him showing hollowed out bullets and holding a knife. It is not known where the pictures or videos were taken.",
"No images of the either of the two shootings were inside the package, but it did include \"vague references\" to the shootings and asserted that \"things like this didn’t have to happen,\" added Capus, who also said that the package had an incorrect address and ZIP code.",
"All of the material that Cho sent to NBC was immediately handed over to the FBI by NBC security guards wearing gloves for further analysis.",
"NBC plans to air some of the material on NBC Nightly News on Friday. However, the video is also being discussed on NBC's 24-hour news channel, MSNBC."

"The shooter in the Virginia Tech university shootings has been identified as Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year old South Korean national. He was studying English and lived on the university campus. Meanwhile, a list of confirmed deceased has been released.",
"The President of Virginia Tech, Charles Steger said in an interview that the \"possibility exists\" that more than one gunman was involved. \"It appears that the second shooter was a resident in our dormitory... it appears he was an on-campus resident,\" Steger said. Ballistic reports confirm that the same gun was used in both instances of the campus shootings, but police could not confirm if the shooter was the same.",
"The shootings on Monday were in two separate locations, and occurred two hours apart. The first took place at 07:15 (12:15 UTC), at West Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory. Then, at about 09:15 (14:15 UTC), 30 people were killed in the second shooting, about half a mile (800 metres) from the first at the Norris Hall classroom building, on the same campus. Bodies were found in four classrooms and a stairwell, according to Virginia state police superintendent Col. Steve Flaherty.",
"Some students complained that they had received no warning from the university until an e-mail alert sent more than two hours after the first incident. The university has suspended classroom courses for one week, and Norris Hall will remain closed for the rest of the semester. University officials have expressed an interest in developing a text messaging alert system where persons can add their phone number to a list for notification in the event that incidents may warrant the use of caution or extra attention.",
"In a reaction to the school massacre, the gun control group Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence asks for \"common-sense actions to prevent tragedies like this from continuing to occur\". The New York Times ran an editorial with a similar message for gun control.",
"A Virginia Tech student, Chen Chia-hao, told the Taiwanese station CTI TV that he believed the shooter in the West Ambler Johnston Hall was a Chinese student. The first victim was, according to Chen, his girlfriend. Chen said: \"They had a big quarrel in the West Ambler Johnston Hall and he shot her. Then the RA (dormitory supervisor) came, and he shot the RA.\"",
"According to Chen, the gunman locked up 25 students who were taking a German class in the Norris Hall building. The man then shot himself in the head, making it difficult for him to be identified, Chen told CTI TV.",
"First-year student Erin Sheehan was one of the only 4 students coming out of the shooting in the German class unharmed. Erin explained how \"(The gunman) peeked in twice, earlier in the lesson, like he was looking for someone, somebody, before he started shooting.\"",
"The gunman first shot German lecturer Christopher James Bishop in the head. Then, he fired some 30 shots in the class and went on. Trey Perkins and two other students decided to hold the heavy wooden classroom door shut with their feet.",
"Erin Sheehan explain how they heard \"something like drilling in the walls\", and how they closed the doors to prevent anyone from entering the classroom. Three times the gunman returned and fired in the door, while the students tried to keep him out. Erin describes how \"He seemed very thorough about it, getting almost everyone down. I was trying to act dead. He left for about 30 seconds, came back in, did almost exactly the same thing.\" Trey Perkins explained how \"Fortunately, we were lying down and weren't in front of the door.\"",
"In a nearby classroom, students decided to jump from the second floor through the window, and ran for safety to a nearby window."

"The student visa of Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, had expired two-years ago, according to the British Home Office.",
"Government officials state that he arrived in the UK on 13 March 2002 and was granted a six-month tourist visa and later applied for a student visa which was granted, allowing him to stay in the country until 30 June 2003.",
"It is also suggested in the Home Office statement that the visa had a forged \"indefinite leave to remain\" stamp on it, saying that the style of the stamp was not in use at the time it was apparently meant to have been issued.",
"This has led to speculation that this may be a reason why de Menezes — who was mistakenly believed to have terrorist connections — fled after being confronted by police (not in uniform) at Stockwell tube station. He was shot eight times by the police — seven times in the head and once in the shoulder.",
"His family had said that they believed that de Menezes' visa had been renewed for an additional five-years.",
"In the statement made by the Home Office spokeswoman, it was denied that the information released would influence the investigation, saying: \"This information is not intended in any way to prejudice or influence the independent investigation into the circumstances of Mr De Menezes' death, or any possible future proceedings.\"",

"Chief Executive of Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn issued on Sunday a public apology and announced an outside inquiry would be carried out, after the company became engulfed in a scandal about diesel emissions tests.",
"Over the weekend there were damaging revelations that the car manufacturer has been using illegal software to enable diesel cars to cheat on mandatory emissions tests.",
"An investigation into alleged breaches of environmental law was originally initiated on the advice of the International Council on Clean Transportation, a European NGO. The United States Environmental Protection Agency requested tests be carried out by West Virginia University, where the secret software was discovered.",
"Volkswagen has suffered a significant drop of almost a fifth in the value of its shares. There have been knock-on effects for other car manufacturers who have also seen their share values fall after suggestions that the scandal could extend much further than just Volkswagen.",
"The company will have to foot the bill for the recall of close to 500,000 VW and Audi cars. There is also the possibility of paying federal fines of up to US$18 billion dollars because the US Clean Air Act sets a maximum fine of US$37,500 for each vehicle that contravenes the requirements of the Act.",
"The software, known as a \"defeat device\", enabled cars to identify when they were being tested and to switch on the emission control system. The devices may have been adding urea to the car exhaust because that would reduce the amount of nitrogen dioxide. The car would release a fraction of the nitrogen oxide compared to when they were being driven normally. Emissions of nitrogen oxide contribute to smog and are thought to have caused a rise in respiratory illnesses like asthma."

"El cap de setmana hi va haver revelacions perjudicials que el fabricant d'automòbils ha estat usant programari il·legal per a permetre que els cotxes dièsel puguessin fer trampa en els exàmens obligatoris d'emissions.",
"Una investigació sobre les presumptes violacions del dret ambiental es va iniciar originalment amb l'assessorament del Consell Internacional de Tecnologia Neta (International Council on Clean Technology), una ONG europea. L'Agència de Protecció Ambiental dels Estats Units va sol·licitar proves, que es duran a terme per l'Universitat de West Virginia, on es va descobrir el programari secret.",
"Volkswagen ha patit una caiguda significativa de gairebé una cinquena part del valor de les seves accions. Hi ha hagut efectes en cadena per a altres fabricants d'automòbils que també han vist com el valor de les seves accions cauen després dels suggeriments que l'escàndol es podria estendre molt més enllà de Volkswagen.",
"La companyia haurà de pagar la factura de la retirada de prop de 500 000 cotxes de VW i Audi. També hi ha la possibilitat de pagar multes federals de fins a 18 mil milions de dòlars a causa de que la Llei d'Aire Net dels Estats Units estableix una multa màxima de US$ 37 500 per cada vehicle.",
"El programari, conegut com a \"dispositiu de desactivació\", va permetre als cotxes identificar quan estaven sent provats per encendre el sistema de control d'emissions. Els dispositius poden haver anat afegint urea als gasos d'escapament dels cotxes perquè això faria reduir la quantitat de diòxid de nitrogen. Els cotxes alliberarien una fracció d'òxid de nitrogen en comparació a quan fossin arrossegats normalment. Les emissions d'òxid de nitrogen contribueixen a la contaminació i es creu que han causat un augment en les malalties respiratòries com l'asma."

"Today, Wales extended the prohibition on smoking at hospitals, schools, and playgrounds, with violators to face a £100 fine. Wales is the first of the UK nations to introduce this ban.",
"This is in addition to various restrictions on the practice, including a ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces in place since 2007 and a ban on smoking in cars with children in place since 2015.",
"The Welsh government, governed by left-wing party Welsh Labour, said the measure was to discourage adults and children alike from smoking by making it appear less normal, and encourage the already partaking to quit.",
"Two hospitals in the country's south have installed a button-activated speaker system to remind people hospitals are smoke-free. In 2016, a similar mechanism was tried at hospitals across Wales, where an announcement recorded by local school children would play upon pressing a button.",
"Minister for Mental Health, Wellbeing, and the Welsh Language Eluned Morgan said she was \"immensely proud to have brought into force this law\", and \"[t]his legislation will benefit the health of future generations in Wales, as fewer children will be exposed to smoking\". She concluded, \"[w]e need to do everything we can to combat the harmful effects of smoking.\"",
"The government was criticised by many smokers rights groups. Simon Clark, Director of the Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco compared the law to \"taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut\", saying: \"There is no evidence that smoking in the open air poses a risk to anyone else's health, including children.\" The director further explained, \"Banning smoking on hospital grounds is particularly unjust because it targets smokers who may be stressed and in need of a comforting cigarette. Most smokers use their common sense and don't smoke around small children. They don't need politicians telling them how to behave.\"",
"Wikinews contacted Eluned Morgan's office to know more about this ban.",
"What is the core objective of this law? If everything works out as you had intended, regarding this law, how would the future of Wales (in terms of smoking) look like?",
"((Eluned Morgan's office)) We are bringing in this legislation to protect people from being exposed to harmful second-hand smoke, help those trying to quit and reduce the chances of children starting smoking.",
"We are committed to our longer-term goal of making more of Wales' public spaces smoke-free and helping people to make positive changes to their health and wellbeing. We intend to progress work to extend the smoking ban to outdoor areas of cafes and restaurants and city and town centres.",
"((WN)) How do you respond to the criticism the government is trying to \"micro-manage people's lives\"?",
"((EMO)) The law is being introduced to protect the public's health, both from harmful second-hand smoke and to support those trying to quit. We hope to denormalise smoking among children and young people so they are less likely to start in the first place.",
"((WN)) Do you think it is an individual informed adult's right to smoke? Why, or why not?",
"((EMO)) Smoking is the biggest cause of early preventable death in Wales. We have brought in this legislation as we need to do everything we can to combat the harmful effects of smoking and to support people to make positive choices for their health. We hope that by increasing the number of smoke-free areas it will improve the health of people in Wales, but there will still be places where adults can smoke.",
"((WN)) Where should someone smoke, if they so choose?",
"((EMO)) The smoke-free law only applies in areas set out in the legislation.",
"((WN)) Does the current ban on smoking in playgrounds only apply when there are kids present, or should it be during all times? Can you please elaborate?",
"((EMO)) All public playgrounds in Wales will be required to be smoke-free all of the time. Even if there are no children in the public playground, the playground must be smoke-free at all times. We know that reducing the number of young people taking up smoking saves lives. Therefore, restricting smoking in areas where children and young people go regularly, like public playgrounds and school grounds, will help to make smoking behaviour appear less normal and reduce the chances of children and young people taking up smoking."

"After a plan to bail out three large American auto companies failed to pass the Senate this week, the White House has said that it is considering using some of the US$700 billion earmarked to rescue the banking industry to bail out the automakers.",
"The White House says that the collapse of the automakers would be a terrible setback that could destroy the economy.",
"\"Under normal economic conditions we would prefer that markets determine the ultimate fate of private firms. However, given the current weakened state of the US economy, we will consider other options if necessary - including use of the TARP [Troubled Assets Relief Program] programme - to prevent a collapse of troubled automakers,\" said Dana Perino, the White House Press Secretary. \"A precipitous collapse of this industry would have a severe impact on our economy, and it would be irresponsible to further weaken and destabilize our economy at this time.\"",
"Earlier this week, the \"Big Three\" automakers - Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors - had pleaded before Congress to be given $14 billion in funds so as to prevent collapse. Although the House approved the measures, the Senate voted the proposition down with a vote of 52-35. Part of the failure of the bill to pass was due to disagreements over labour cuts, which the Republicans insisted reach parity by next year with those of Japanese carmakers.",
"General Motors stated that the company would stop 30% of its North American production \"in response to rapidly deteriorating market conditions\"."

El anuncio se hizo luego de que el proyecto de auxilio al sector fracasó en el Senado. El Departamento del Tesoro también podría brindar asistencia a los fabricantes de vehículos.",
"La portavoz de Bush, Dana Perino, declaró antes de la apertura de los mercados en Nueva York: \"Bajo condiciones económicas normales, preferiríamos que los mercados determinen el destino final de las empresas privadas\".",
"Sin embargo, agregó que, debido a la frágil situación de la economía estadounidense, tomarán las medidas necesarias para evitar que General Motors (GM), Ford y Chrysler se declaren en bancarrota. Las tres empresas están en una situación crítica por la crisis mundial.",
"Asimismo, una vocera del Tesoro, Brookly McLaughlin, declaró que aquel departamento es capaz de brindar ayuda a corto plazo a las automotrices. \"Debido a que el Congreso no actuó, estamos preparados para evitar un desastre hasta que el Congreso se rectifique y apunte a una viabilidad a largo plazo para la industria\", manifestó.",
"En un principio, el gobierno no estaba de acuerdo con destinar el dinero del rescate financiero –también conocido como Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP)– para empresas fuera del sector bancario. Por esta razón, esperaban que el Congreso ratificara el plan de salvataje automotor, pero esto no ocurrió debido a la resistencia de la bancada republicana en la Cámara. Bush insistía en que el TARP no reunía las condiciones necesarias para poder aplicarse a la industria automovilística.",
"Según varios analistas, la quiebra de las tres mayores fabricantes de automóviles norteamericanos provocaría una reacción en cadena y agravaría la recesión. \"Nadie compra un coche de una empresa en bancarrota, porque no le pueden asegurar que le darán servicio durante los próximos tres o cinco años\", señaló un experto a la cadena televisiva CNBC.",
"Por su parte, el presidente electo, Barack Obama, dijo que estaba decepcionado por el rechazo del proyecto en el Senado y añadió que \"millones de trabajos se apoyan directa o indirectamente\" en la industria de vehículos."

"Waxman said that, \"The committee isn't trying to obtain state secrets or documents that could affect our immediate national security. We are simply seeking answers to whether the White House's political staff is inappropriately censoring impartial government scientists. We know that the White House possesses documents that contain evidence of an attempt by senior administration officials to mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming and minimize the potential danger.\"",
"During the hearing, two private advocacy groups, one of which was the Union of Concerned Scientists, also presented a survey to the panel that revealed that 279 scientists working for the government had been pressured into minimizing the threat of global warming in their reports. Almost half of the 279 said that they were told to delete any references to \"global warming\" or \"climate change\" in their reports. The scientists in the survey all worked for a wide array of government agencies: NASA, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, and the Department of Interior."

"Le Comité de la Chambre des Représentants des États-Unis pour la surveillance et la réforme du Gouvernement[1] a tenu hier[2] une audition sur l'accusation portée à l'égard de l'administration Bush qui aurait manipulé les données concernant le changement climatique dans le but d'« égarer le public en introduisant des doutes quant à la science du réchauffement global. » Le 23 janvier 2007, le président (de ce comité), le démocrate Henry_Waxman, et le républicain Thomas M.

Au moins la moitié des ces 279 scientifiques indiquent avoir reçu l'ordre d'effacer toute référence au réchauffement global ou changement climatique dans leurs rapports.

"The Capitol Building, the Supreme Court, the Department of the Treasury and the White House were evacuated around noon Wednesday. People in the vicinity were told to head to a rail station approximately a half mile south of the White House. Reporters in the White House itself were told to move into the basement.",
"President Bush was not in the White House at the time. CNN and Bloomberg have reported that the President was on a bicycle ride; CTV has reported that he was at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland.",
"Wire sources report the cause of the evacuation as being a small plane that wandered into the no-fly zone. The craft was reportedly a Cessna 150, which flew into restricted space, left the area, and then returned. It was then escorted out of the zone by two F-16s that fired warning flares at it.",
"MSNBC reported that a 'lure motorcade' drove away from the White House.",
"Authorities gave the \"all-clear\" signal a few minutes after the evacuation. Other government agencies outside of the immediate area were largely unaffected.",
"At the time of the police-ordered evacuation, Senator Richard Shelby, R-AL, was on the Senate floor. \"They said get out of here, so I ran. There's no joking about this kind of stuff,\" Shelby said.",
"The two men who were flying the aircraft were on their way to an air show when they slipped into Washington D.C.'s Restricted Airspace (image at right). Their plane was escorted to a Maryland airport where they were taken into custody and interviewed by authorities. Once it became clear the incident had been a mistake, the two men were released.",

"The founder of the whistle blowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has been granted bail and was set free, pending an extradition hearing. Justice Duncan Ouseley granted Assange \"conditional bail,\" upholding the previous ruling which was made earlier in the week. He ruled against a Swedish appeal filed just two days ago. Assange is wanted for questioning in Sweden for alleged molestation and rape.",
"On Tuesday, Assange was granted bail with the help of former British army officer and journalist Vaughan Smith, who told the court that Assange could stay at his mansion in Suffolk. Defense barrister Geoffrey Robertson said that Smith would keep Assange \"if not under house arrest, at least under mansion arrest.\" Assange's lawyers say that Assange is only wanted for questioning, and has not been charged with any crimes. However the lawyers representing Sweden countered by saying \"The court has already found that Mr. Assange is a flight risk. Nothing has changed in this regard. [If the alleged offences took place in Britain] it undoubtedly would have been a charge of rape in this jurisdiction.\" Robertson did not agree.",
"Bail was set at £200,000, with two additional guarantees of £20,000. Assange would also have to surrender his passport and submit to electronic monitoring. Pending further court hearings, Assange will be residing in a manor owned by Smith, which is located near the Norfolk–Suffolk border in England. Assange would also have to spend at least four hours at Smith's mansion in the day and four at night. He will also have to check in with police every day between 6–8 pm local time. After the magistrate outlined the conditions Assange said, emotionlessly, on Tuesday, \"I understand.\" Bail conditions remained the same, with small changes that included where he is allowed to travel, changes to his curfew and times in which he must report to authorities. Assange has yet to be formally charged with any crime.",
"Assange believes the sex offense accusation against him are politically motivated to take attention away from material that Wikileaks is publishing, including the release of over 250,000 United States diplomatic cables."

"Assange's lawyers have the option of appealing against this decision, and have decided to do so. Assange has denied the claims of sexual abuse, claiming the allegations to be politically motivated because his website recently published secret US diplomatic cables. Earlier, during the hearing, Assange claimed that rape cases in Sweden were \"tried in secret behind closed doors in a flagrant denial of justice\", and termed the country \"the Saudi Arabia of feminism.\"",
"Judge Howard Riddle, in his verdict, declared the allegations made by the two Swedish women a valid reason for extradition and also attested the validity of Sweden's demand to send Assange to the country for further questioning.",
"Geoffrey Robertson QC, lawyer for Assange, suggested the latter could be extradited to the United States, on charges concerning the release of 250,000 US diplomatic cables by Wikileaks, where he could be sentenced to death penalty. His Swedish counterpart, Clare Montgomery QC, stated that while Assange's trial would be held in private, the arguments raised in the trial would be released to the public. She also assured that Sweden was going to provide \"protection\" against the alleged risk of Assange's extradition to the US, terming it as a \"threat and violation.\" The European Court of Human Rights has also agreed to intervene if Assange was subjected to an \"inhuman or degrading treatment or an unfair trial\" in the US, she added.",
"Assange had been granted bail in December, but has been electronically monitored ever since.",
"Assange has been accused of raping a sleeping woman, during his visit to Stockholm last year. Another woman has alleged that the Wikileaks founder sexual assaulted her thrice. If the Swedish court declares him guilty, he could be sentenced to up to four years in prison.",
"Paul Stephens, the Australian ambassador to Sweden, had earlier written to the country's Justice Minister, appealing that if Assange was extradited, his hearing \"would proceed in accordance with due process and the provisions prescribed under Swedish law, as well as applicable European and international laws, including relevant human rights norms.\"",
"Assange is likely to remain in custody, since bail is not granted in Sweden before a trial or the accused being released.",

It is claimed the CIA can use the Samsung F8000 TV to spy while seemingly turned off, a technique WikiLeaks claimed was a collaborative development of the CIA with MI5. It also alleges the US consulate in Frankfurt is used as a \"sensitive compartmentalised information facility\", a secret base from which US spies hack Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.",

The CIA said, \"We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents\", though no spokesperson from the home office was available to comment.

Es wird behauptet, dass die CIA das Samsung F8000 TV nutzen kann, um damit zu spionieren, während es scheinbar ausgeschaltet wurde. Eine Technik war, wie WikiLeaks behauptet, eine gemeinsame Entwicklung der CIA mit dem britischen Geheimdienst MI5. Es wird auch behauptet, dass das US-Konsulat in Frankfurt als „sensible, kompartimentierte Informationseinrichtung“ genutzt wird, eine geheime Basis, aus der die USA in Europa, im Mittleren Osten und in Afrika Informationen hacken.",
"WikiLeaks vergleicht die Überwachungstechnologie mit George Orwells Roman 1984, in dem die Fernsehapparate die Bürger beobachten. Die CIA sagte dazu: „Wir kommentieren nicht die Echtheit oder den Inhalt der angeblichen Spionagedokumente“, obwohl kein Sprecher aus dem Zentralbüro zur Stellungnahme zur Verfügung stand. Edward Snowden, Ex-CIA Hacker und Whistleblower, der zuvor schon CIA Dokumente veröffentlicht hatte, erklärte allerdings, er halte die Dokumente für authentisch und sie würden Insider-Informationen enthalten.",

"WikiLeaks bericht over digitale spionagepraktijken door CIA",
"Klokkenluiderssite WikiLeaks is begonnen met een groot aantal documenten online te zetten waaruit zou blijken dat de Amerikaanse inlichtingendienst CIA zich op zeer grote schaal schuldig maakt aan hacken en digitale spionage. De dienst zou, met behulp van speciale software en malware, iPhones en Android-smartphones, Windows-computers en zelfs Samsung-televisies (waarop software is geïnstalleerd) aanvallen. Beveiligingsproblemen in Android en iOS zouden door CIA speciaal zijn benut om chats af te luisteren. Het zou tevens mogelijk zijn voor de CIA om met behulp van een speciaal soort virus smart-tv's en telefoons, terwijl ze ogenschijnlijk uitstaan, in te zetten als afluisterapparaat, waarna de via de microfoon opgenomen gesprekken via internet worden doorgestuurd.",
"Het aantal door de hackers van CIA verzamelde codes zou zeer groot zijn volgens WikiLeaks, nog groter dan het totale aantal broncodes van Facebook."

"The Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization which administers online collaborative websites including Wikipedia and Wikinews, announced yesterday that its general counsel Mike Godwin will leave his position this Friday. The author of Cyber Rights: Defending Free speech in the Digital Age, Godwin is a former fellow at the Yale Center for Internet Studies and staff counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation who has served as chief lawyer for the Wikimedia Foundation since July 2007.",
"Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation Sue Gardner announced the news in a public email. She wrote, \"Hi folks, I want to let you know that as of this Friday, October 22, 2010, Mike Godwin will be leaving his role as General Counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation. Mike’s transition out of the role will be a fairly lengthy one: he will continue to be available to the Wikimedia Foundation to provide information and advice for several months to come.\"",
"Gardner stated in a \"Q and A\" below the text of her email that Godwin was leaving the organization due to \"a confidential personnel issue\", and explained that the foundation would not elaborate upon this due to privacy concerns. Gardner noted, \"The Wikimedia Foundation believes Mike has always acted in what he believes to be the Wikimedia Foundation’s best interests.\"",
"Godwin has focused his legal career in the areas of free speech and Internet law. In an article regarding his 1999 selection as a fellow at the Yale Center for Internet Studies, The Hartford Courant characterized Godwin as \"a noted cyberspace lawyer and civil libertarian\".",
"He is noted for writing \"Godwin's Law\", an Internet maxim which states, \"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.\"",
"Godwin became the first attorney to join the Electronic Frontier Foundation after its formation in 1990. In a 2007 interview with The New York Times, Godwin commented on the issue of defamation online, \"The fear of defamation on the Internet is very strong. We’re going to be riding that social panic for a little bit.\" He described his role at the Wikimedia Foundation, \"Part of my job is to prevent restrictive rules from being put in place that prevent people from participating in massively democratic participatory media. And then let the new norms settle.\" He acknowledged he empathized with others that had been criticized on the Internet, \"Look, I have been smeared online. I know how bad it feels. It hurts. If democracy were comfortable, everybody would have it.\""

"On December 7, Wikinews first reported that some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the United Kingdom, were filtering access to an image and an article on the popular, free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, amid allegations that they contain child pornography. The filter was brought into play by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), which issued a statement regarding the filtering shortly after Wikinews published the article. Wikimedia, the host of Wikinews and Wikipedia oppose the IWF's actions, also issuing a statement.",
"\"A Wikipedia web page, was reported through the IWF’s online reporting mechanism in December 2008. As with all child sexual abuse reports received by our Hotline analysts, the image was assessed according to the UK Sentencing Guidelines Council (page 109). The content was considered to be a potentially illegal indecent image of a child under the age of 18, but hosted outside the UK,\" said the IWF in a statement posted on their website.",
"The image and article in question is that of the 1976 album Virgin Killer, a studio album by the Scorpions, a German rock band. The controversy began after the image of the album's original cover, which depicted a naked prepubescent girl, was reported to the IWF in early December. Wikinews first discovered the controversial image in May 2008 after there were several attempts to delete it on Wikipedia. The image had been blocked because the IWF considered it to be \"potentially illegal\". As a result, the IWF have contacted authorities in the United States and in the UK.",
"The measures applied redirect Wikipedia-bound traffic from a significant portion of the UK's Internet population through a small number of servers which can log and filter the content that is available to the end user. A serious side-effect of this is the inability of administrators on Wikimedia sites to block vandals and other troublemakers without potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of innocent contributors who are working on the sites in good faith.",
"Contributors or individuals attempting to view an affected image or file, depending on their ISP, may get a warning saying, \"we have blocked this page because, according to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), it contains indecent images of children or pointers to them; you could be breaking UK law if you viewed the page.\" Other ISPs provide blank pages, 404 errors, or other means of blocking the content.",
"Wikimedia was not informed that the image would be blacklisted because the IWF \"does not issue takedown notices to ISPs or hosting companies outside the UK\". The servers for Wikimedia projects are located in Florida in the U.S., and according to Jay Walsh, the head of communications for Wikimedia, the Foundation \"opposes\" the action taken by the IWF.",
"\"The IWF has confirmed to the Wikimedia Foundation that it has added Wikipedia to its\nblacklist, which also had the unintended consequence of rendering UK-based internet users\nunable to edit the encyclopedia,\" said Walsh.",
"\"We did advise one of our partner Hotlines abroad and our law enforcement partner agency of our assessment. The specific URL (individual webpage) was then added to the list provided to ISPs and other companies in the online sector to protect their customers from inadvertent exposure to a potentially illegal indecent image of a child,\" added the statement by the IWF.",
"\"We have no reason to believe the article, or the image contained in the article, has been\nheld to be illegal in any jurisdiction anywhere in the world. We believe it's worth noting that the image is currently visible on Amazon, where the album can be freely purchased by UK residents. It\nis available on thousands of websites that are accessible to the UK public,\" said Mike Godwin, legal counsel for Wikimedia. The cover has since been removed from Amazon.com.",
"Wikimedia projects such as Wikinews state in their policies that they are \"not censored\". Wikimedia will continue discussions with the IWF in hopes of resolving the issue."

"Die Internet Watch Foundation will im Bild des Covers des Scorpions-Albums Virgin Killer angebliche Kinderpornografie ausgemacht haben. Dies führte dazu, dass zahlreiche Internetprovider mittels eines Zwangsproxys den Zugriff auf den Artikel in der englischsprachigen Wikipedia sperrten, das Bild selbst ist jedoch noch direkt aufrufbar.",

Er opponierte auch die Sperrung des Bildes, da der Gedanke hinter der Sperrung verfehlt sei, zumal nur Wikipedia von der Sperre betroffen sei, nicht aber andere das Bild bereitstellende Websites. Wales forderte eine klare Abgrenzung, die sowohl Meinungsfreiheit als auch den Kampf gegen Kinderpornografie schütze und sprach sich für eine Klage gegen die IWF aus."

"The Internet group Project Chanology today held protests critical of the Church of Scientology. The protests marked what would have been the 49th birthday of Lisa McPherson, who is claimed to be a victim of the Church of Scientology's practices. Lisa died in 1995 during a running of what Scientologists refer to as an Introspection Rundown, a procedure intended to help Church members deal with a psychotic or deeply traumatic event.",
"Protests were planned throughout the day in 14 countries and over 50 different cities. The estimation of total protesters world wide for Feb. 10, 2008 is 9,250 people.",
"Wikinews had correspondents at a number of protest locations to report on the events. This article was updated throughout the day with reports from around the globe.",
"About 150 anonymous protesters turned out in Adelaide to protest the Church of Scientology. Most wore masks, many also wearing suits or wigs. \nA on-the-spot-word was created centered around a Scientologist present at the start of the protests. 'Infiltrator', AdelRAID also had an Anon attacked by a Scientologist trying to remove an Anon's mask to take a photo of his face, who had his picture taken before and after the attack by many anons.",
"200+ members of Anonymous gathered in Atlanta. While riot police were called to the scene as well as the local media, only one incident occurred. A person from the Anonymous crowd tried to enter the church to talk to them but police temporarily detained him. He was later released without charges.",
"Correspondent: Craig Russell",
"Correspondent: TUFKAAP",
"Protesters in Boston covered all four corners of the block surrounding the Church with 30-45 people on each side of the streets and corners. Most protesters ranged from 18 to 25 years old. Crowds soon swelled to numbers of about 250. The weather was of typical New England weather, where it quickly jumped from sunny weather at the start to slight drizzling rain then to a downpour and eventually a flurry that lasted about 15–20 minutes before dissipating. However, even that did not drive the protesters away.",
"The protesters' meet up spot was Trinity Church in Boston's famed Copley Square right under the gaze of the John Hancock Building. After congregating protesters proceeded down to the local Scientology church and began their picket. An ex-Scientology member know as Larry Brennan showed up and said he applauded what \"Anonymous\" was doing. Meanwhile, a camera watched the protest from the top floor of the Scientology church looking at the protesters gathered below.",
"Throughout the protest, each corner took turns shouting this chant \"Religion! Should! Be! Free!\" At the same time, cars honked in support for the protesters, including firemen of the Boston Fire Department and the Boston Public Works Department road sanding crew, along with various taxis. Drivers were often encouraged to honk by the protesters. Protesters gave pamphlets and leaflets to cars, pedestrians, and police officers.",
"According to the free daily BostonNOW, Rev. Gerard Renna of the Boston church referred to Anonymous as \"a group of cyber-terrorists ... perpetrating religious hate crimes.\"",
"It is estimated that 200-250 people attended in total.",
"Correspondent: Brian McNeil",
"The Brussels protest organisers decided to take things one step further than the \"mask\" dress code - and introduce a formal dress code of \"Black, and Red Tie\".",
"Saturday saw the start of press coverage for the event with Dutch-language national paper De Morgen devoting four columns in their reporter section to the protest and events that led up to it. Lisa McPherson, Tom Cruise, and John Sweeney were all covered along with images of the \"Anonymous\" advertising poster and the European Church of Scientology HQ in the Brussels city centre.",
"The protesters met up at Parc Royal metro station about 1 km away from the European H.Q. of the Church of Scientology and spent approximately an hour putting finishing touches to placards and cutting up leaflets, all under the watchful eye of a number of suspected Scientology \"spies\" equipped with cameras and cellphones. Following closely the advice from police the group of approximately 30 marched to 91 Wetstraat where the Church H.Q. is in a subdued manner with banners and placards turned down. As the group marched to their point where a static protest was permitted three film crews from Belgian TV ran round filming the group and walking backwards to interview those who were prepared to speak to the press. Protesters came from as far afield as Luxembourg.",
"The police presence for the protest was fairly light, upon arrival at the protest site, 91 Wetstraat (Rue De La Loi) one van and three officers were parked outside the Scientology HQ, approximately 15 minutes later two other police cars had turned up - delivering the Brussels Central chief of police and another four officers to monitor the protest. Instructions were given to protesters that they could not, under Belgian law, conceal their faces with masks, scarves or veils.",
"The signs in use by the protesters included a large \"HONK!\" which whenever a passing motorist hit the horn roused a large cheer from the crowd. Others read \"Scientology kills\", \"Religion is free, Scientology is not\", \"XENU.NET\", \"All your Thetans are belong to us\", \"Hello Scientology, We are Anonymous\", and \"Alien souls inhabit you\". Some were crudely done handwriting, others had been made at the pre-protest meeting with stencils and spray paint.",
"A chant was started early on, and repeated a few times throughout the day, \"Brainwash! Brainwash! Brainwash!\", this could likely be heard by people within the Church H.Q. as a number of upper floor windows were open.",
"Leaflets were handed out to passers by and motorists as they stopped at the nearest set of traffic lights. While highlighting that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam will freely give you details about their religion Scientology was starkly contrasted as \"Ask a Scientologist about their texts, You will be answered. After your check clears\".",
"The protest went off with no problems, although concern was expressed by some participants that they were not better allowed to conceal their identities. This was made extra concerning with the belief that some of those taking photos from a distance were members of the Church cataloguing the protesters.",
"Correspondent: DragonFire1024",
"As many as 50 people turned up to protest the Church in cold weather and wind driven snow. With temperatures ranging from 10 to just 15 degrees Fahrenheit and winds at nearly 45 miles an hour, protesters held signs and braved Mother Nature. Some lost their signs in the wind a few times, but managed to swipe them back up before they got lost in the weather.",
"Among the protesters attending was Chuck Beatty, a former Scientologist of 27 years from the Sea Org in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Several passing cars showed their support by honking, including a big red semi-truck tow truck.",
"The police were on scene to make sure protesters followed laws, but they were off duty officers hired by the Church because they \"needed protection from Anonymous,\" said O. Casillas of the Buffalo police Department. Casillas also stated that protesters, \"according to New York state law\", had to be at least 100 feet from the Church, but because of a fence, protesters were allowed to picket across the street from the Church.",
"Casillas also took a flier with the rules and regulations for protesters stating, \"I cannot take sides here, but the Church privately hired us.\"",
"At least three members of the Church were seen photographing, videotaping, and counting anyone who was gathered outside the Church. The protesters were not approached by any members of the Church.",
"Wikinews attempted to get a statement from the church, but Casillas stated that \"the Church knew what organization [I] was from\" and that \"Wikinews was not welcome there [at the Church].\"",
"Wikinews recently published several stories and interviews that do not favor the Church and the officer's quotes suggest the Church is aware of those articles.",
"See a gallery of images below, and or click on the 'Buffalo Photo Gallery' to see all the images.",
"The Chicago protest against the Church began slightly before 11:00 a.m. (central time) and concluded at roughly 4:30 p.m.. Upwards of 70 protesters gathered in support of the protest.",
"Though temperatures remained in the sub-zero range throughout the day (0 degrees Fahrenheit, -22 wind chill), spirits remained high.",
"Participants handed out literature and held signs at the intersection of Lincoln, Wellington and Southport until roughly 2:00 p.m.. During that time, a nearby Catholic church dismissed, and numerous Church-goers welcomed the fliers.",
"Protesters garnered a multitude of honks from supportive motorists. After 2:00 p.m., the large group splintered into multiple travelling squads which navigated the Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighbourhoods until 4:30 p.m..",
"Protesters had to follow legal restrictions and the Church conducted the Centre's counter-protest measures, such as blocking their windows and holding service from 11:00 a.m. straight through 6:00 p.m..",
"Approximately 200 people protested Scientology along Cleveland Street in Clearwater. They were photographed by 20-year-old Scientologist David Pendery, who seemed to believe that it was \"unlawful to wear a mask and I wanted to document it.\" The Church also hired ten police officers to monitor the protest.",
"The protest was delayed by 30 minutes so the protesters would not interrupt a Presbyterian Church service. [4]",
"More than 100 people picketed on a street corner in front of the Dallas Church of Scientology. Protestors held up signs with pictures of Lisa McPherson, who was a Dallas native. \"We want people to know we are raising awareness, and that is one of our main tools to fight Scientology,\" said one masked protestor. A few signs read \"Honk if you hate Scientology\", and some cars could be heard honking their horns as they passed by. Police were on the scene to ensure that the demonstration was peaceful. The Dallas Church of Scientology released a statement regarding the group Anonymous, which read, \"Using Scientology's prominence, Anonymous hopes to garner more attention ... Religious bigotry of any nature is deplorable and profoundly affects the entire community.\"",
"Video from the event",
"Around 50 to 140 people turned up at the Church of Scientology centre in Edinburgh to protest. As protesters were not allowed directly opposite the centre a small police presence was visible in order to control the crowd.",
"Banners with \"Scientology Kills\" were placed at the front of the protesters and chants gradually began to start as the day progressed. Leaflets were handed out to members of the public passing by while people within the Church of Scientology were seen to be taking photographs from inside the church.",
"Access to the church was restricted during the protest, but several protesters made comment to a reporter from the Scotsman newspaper.",
"The Houston protest hosted an estimated 81 people. Between 8 and 12 Houston police officers and staff were on site though, but stood and watched the protesters. There were no reports of significant confrontation, though scientologists and protesters took photographs of each other. A CW 39 cameraman was on site taking footage and conducting interviews. Broadcast television reports of the protest were carried on KHOU CBS 11 and KHCW CW 39 later in the evening.",
"Correspondents: Skenmy and Adambro",
"The first London protest took place outside the Church of Scientology HQ in Queen Victoria Street. Upon arrival at 10:30, approximately 50 people were in attendance. This was complemented by a small team of police officers. Members of the Church of Scientology were handing out flyers outside the HQ, with the protesters on the other side of the road. Numerous members of the media, as well as tens of amateur photographers and videographers were in attendance.",
"By 11:00, the number of protesters had grown to between 300 and 500. A variety of signs were on display, bearing such slogans as \"Ron is Gone but the Con goes On\" (referring to L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology) and \"$cientology Kills\" (referring to the claims that the Church of Scientology extorts money from its members). The police responded to this growth in numbers with riot vans, a large number of Community Support officers, and Police Horses, as well as a dog unit.",
"The protest at Queen Victoria Street was peaceful. Members of Anonymous were respectful of Police orders. Inside the building, security officers could be seen. Members were seen videoing and photographing the protests from the upper windows of the HQ building, prompting responses from the crowd. Signs were held saying \"Honk if you hate Scientology\" - causing a cheer from the crowd every time a car used the horn.",
"The infamous bright yellow \"/b/\" van was seen driving past early in the protest. At around 1:00 the protesters moved on towards Tottenham Court Road's \"Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Centre\", where the police presence was even higher, and crowd barriers were set up. Half of Tottenham Court Road was closed for the demonstration, so a single-file line of traffic was all that flowed between the protesters (of which a significant majority of the original number turned up) and the Church of Scientology building.",
"Members of the Church of Scientology were handing out flyers, much like at Queen Victoria Street. However, the crowd this time shouted for passers-by to \"tear it up\" - some of whom did. Police reacted to those tearing up the material and throwing it down with the issue of a littering ticket. This road was much busier than the previous one, and a large crowd gathered to look. The crowd could be heard shouting \"It's a trap!\" when members of the public were offered free Stress Tests by the members of the Church of Scientology. There were a number of minor incidents involving protesters (who were quickly distanced by the majority crowd), but no major violations took place.",
"Estimates by Anonymous for the total numbers at the event range from 300 to 800 people, however the BBC and City of London Police report 200 people at the event.",
"Correspondent: IlyaHaykinson",
"At least 250 people attended the anti-Scientology protest in Los Angeles, California. The protesters gathered in the morning at a central location and proceeded by subway to the site of the first protest, the Church of Scientology - Los Angeles. For nearly two hours the protesters chanted \"We are Anonymous\" and other slogans, and responded with yells and upheaval to honking cars that were passing by. The protest spread over two city blocks, and at one point the entire group of protesters circled the city block containing various Scientology buildings.",
"The protest then proceeded via subway to the Church of Scientology International building in Hollywood. There the protesters continued chanting, and marched up and down the street. A group of protesters unfurled a banner in sympathy with the death of Lisa McPherson, and the crowd sang the happy birthday song for her.",
"The protest continued for an additional couple of hours as the crowd moved to a former Scientology recruiting building and then to the street level of a major mall and tourist attraction, Hollywood & Highland.",
"After losing quite a few members the protest moved on to the front of the CNN building in hope of getting on news.",
"Security was high at all Scientology installations, with security officers blocking all entrances to Church buildings, patrolling on foot and bicycle, and most taking pictures or videos of protesters (or even the Wikinews reporter). No police intervention was observed, though at least one or two officers were present at most times.",
"Correspondent: Fallen-Griever",
"A protest in Manchester took place outside the Church of Scientology centre located on Deansgate, with around 100 people protesting at its peak. The protest was peaceful, with the protesters mainly sticking to waving banners and handing out flyers to passers-by.",
"Protesters respected a request from the police that they should leave the area by 3pm in order to avoid blocking the area for patrons leaving the multiple bars along Deansgate at the end of the Manchester Derby (a football match between Manchester United and Manchester City).",
"There was a minimal police presence at the event and the Church of Scientology centre was closed by the end of the protest.",
"In a video posted on YouTube, at least 75 to 100 protesters can be heard chanting \"Xenu, Xenu, Xenu\" as they protest across the street from the Church. Cars driving by honk their horns in support of the protesters. Police can be seen parked in front of the Church.",
"Correspondent(s): Observer",
"Updates as of 11:54 AM\nAnonymous members arrived at about 11:00 A.M. About 50 members were counted with more arriving, despite temperatures with wind chill as low as -40F.",
"Correspondent(s): Observer",
"In temperatures ranging from 0F to -4F, without windchill, several members of Anonymous showed up. The group ranged from 10 to 25+, with public response mostly positive.",
"The Scientology protest in New Orleans took place at 11:00am CST. There were 19 members of Anonymous that showed up to protest. Everything went smoothly. One police officer stopped by just to make sure that the crowd was demonstrating peacefully. Many pictures and video was taken by the assembled group as well as pictures being taken by the few Scientologists that showed up. One large woman drove incredibly fast to park behind the Scientology building at one point (the church was closed before some protesters arrived) and nearly hit two protesters. She was later spotted snapping countless pictures from the second floor. Over the course of the protests, about 5 cars ended up parked behind the building. One bald man came out to attempt to harass some protesters and was labeled a \"Level 12 Paladin\". He left soon after.",
"Eventually the two most interesting subjects of the Church of Scientology appeared, and were initially perceived as standard passerby's. When offered fliers the couple spat \"What have you done?\" and \"What are your crimes?\" at the protesters. One donned a Scientology vest and stood in front of the building, while his minion walked around taking pictures 5 inches from their faces.",
"There was some sparse foot traffic in the area and handouts were given to people passing by. A woman stopped by to talk to some Anonymous and stated that she had a family member who was trying to leave the CoS and was glad for the protests. A man in a truck parked and got some fliers, promising to return. About an hour later he arrived, wearing sunglasses and armed with a homemade sign, and joined the group.",
"An employee of the local newspaper, The Times Picayune, stopped to speak with Anonymous for a little while. He stated that he was in the area on another story but was interested in finding out information about the protest. The Anonymous answered his questions, gave him handouts, but refused to share any personal contact information with him.",
"Near the end of the protest the two Scientologists decided to walk off.",
"Correspondent(s): David Shankbone",
"An estimated 150 people separated into two primary groups protested the Church of Scientology in Philadelphia. Protests began in the area surrounding City Hall, eventually culminating around the Church located on Race Street.",
"Pedestrian foot traffic was high due to a major event at the Convention Center.",
"A police officer on the scene described the gathering as \"the friendliest [protesters] I've ever seen.\"",
"Correspondent: Bjweeks",
"Approximately 60 people showed up to protest in front of the Scientology church in Phoenix, many wearing purple latex gloves and dressed in black suits. Three Phoenix Police Department officers were present to keep control. CBS 5, Fox 10, NBC 12, The Arizona Republic and The East Valley Tribune came to interview the protesters and The Church of Scientology held a press conference where the official press release was read and no comments were made about the Phoenix protest. The protesters read high level Scientology teaching that had been made public to Scientologists during the press conference and later in the day, with little visible success.",
"Correspondent: Dar-Ape",
"Several dozen protesters arrived across the street from the Scientology bookstore in South Side to protest, carrying signs and handing out flyers. Protesters included many students, mostly hailing from Pitt and CMU. Cars honked in support, though pedestrian traffic was a bit more sparse. Two or three police officers kept an eye on protesters from inside the bookstore, but everything went smoothly.",
"As the high for the day was twenty degrees and with wind chill making it feel as though the temperatures were in the sub zeros; the anons cut their protest to only about four hours.",
"One Pittsburgh Anon's Photos",
"Images were emailed to Wikinews.",
"The protest in Portland seemed to have had a leader (or leader-like figure) or two, and was lawful and very well organized.",
"There was always yelling, sometimes intense, whenever someone entered the church. Some who entered did so smiling defiantly, some were hesitant and looked noticeably distressed.",
"Loud cheering erupted every time a passing by car honked (estimated 1 out of 5), this included even a Trimet bus.",
"8 people showed up and picketed in front of City Hall on the 2/10/2008. The reason why City Hall and not the traditional Church of Scientology is because San Antonio does not have a Scientology chapter. This being the reason many of the protesters of San Antonio went to Austin to support their cause. The protesters handed out fliers and held up informational posters and a \"honk if you hate Scientology\" poster. Many of the cars honked including but not limited to the Via bus system, SAPD, SAFD, and churchgoers.",
"San Antonio Videos: [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]",
"San Diego drew about 80 protesters, starting an hour later than most of the other worldwide protests. The group started at the Horton Plaza shopping mall, and then moved on to the Church of Scientology building. After demonstrating there, the group moved back to the shopping mall, positioning itself on eight street corners, handing out information, flyers, and speaking with concerned bystanders. Not one, but two protesters dressed up as Xenu.",
"When 10 News showed up to cover the event, they refused to do an interview unless they could speak with a protester face to face. When none of the protesters agreed to this condition, a compromise was reached. A protester gave an audio interview for the station to use when putting together information about the protest.",
"After several protesters left, the protest moved back to the Church. Police presence was constant, but at the time of dispersal at the end of the protest several members reported being followed by Scientologists.",
"San Diego Videos:",
"More pics",
"A worldwide day of protests against the Church of Scientology has begun in Sydney after an agglomeration of protesters at 11am in Hyde Park. A crowd of about 200 turned out to protest against the Church and its alleged violations of human rights. The group Anonymous, who organized the rally, were handing out fliers to passers-by, and led various anti-Scientology chants by the crowd. The principal allegations made at the rally towards Scientology were the lack of freedom within the Church, and the excessive cost of their courses, which they believe doesn't warrant tax-exempt status. The Protest lasted until 1pm at the Church of Scientology Office in Town Hall and from there partially disbanded. The remaining protesters proceeded to the Scientology office in Broadway and started a lesser secondary protest lasting about 25 minutes.\nThe Church of Scientology was approached by the author for a response to the claims after the rally, but the church refused to comment.",
"The Toronto protest kicked off at 11:30 a.m. (EST). At least 300 attended the protest for the afternoon. Despite the wind chill of -22 at 11:00 and declining temperatures throughout the day, the protest was still robust at 2:00. The crowd later tapered down to fewer than 10 by 6:00 p.m..",
"One protester possessed a cap gun, however other protesters in his vicinity quickly pointed him out to the police, who confiscated it without charge.",
"A Church member was seen throwing rock salt at some protesters for a short period of time, but later went back into the Church.",
"Generally, the protest was peaceful and picketers were well behaved overall. Police allowed protesters to stand right outside the Scientology building. There were many people attempting to record the event with cameras, video cameras, and/or microphones, and several picketers were interviewed.",
"The chants sometimes included \"Xenu!\", which left some passersby confused about whether the protest was for or against Scientology. However, the public was generally receptive to the protesters' message, particularly earlier in the day. Many cars passing by, especially taxis, honked in support, as did a fire truck and an ambulance. Most people offered flyers during the first couple of hours took them, though later on people seemed to grow tired of them. It was an enthusiastic, successful protest.",
"Over 200 people showed up and passed out pamphlets, chanted slogans, and covered the entire block at one point. Scientologists tried to counter-protest by unfurling a \"Scientology For Peace\" banner at one point, but protesters with signs blocked the banner from view. After 30 minutes, the Church took down their banner.",
"People from all over the area came to support the protest. Vancouver Police sent a single cruiser on scene to monitor the situation, but after an hour it left without incident.",
"Another moment that should be noted is how after the crowd of protesters swelled from 20-200 participants within an hour, A van pulled up in the rear of the building where no protester was then present. Some people took notice and went down to investigate. What they saw was a number of church members piling boxes of documents and entire filing cabinets into the van. They then soon drove off with it. There were pictures taken of the van. It was as if they anticipated a break-in to their office where demonstrators could've seize documentation.",
"Church members, some in plain clothes and some wearing Church uniforms, videotaped protesters, tried to mingle with the protesters to disrupt the protest from within, and followed protesters away from the protest when they left.",
"About 20 people protested in front of the Scientology Center in Capistrangasse in Vienna's 6th district. At 12:30, half an hour after the demonstration started, individuals claiming to be\nacting on government authority ordered the protest to disperse. Owing to an issue concerning\ndocumentation the protestors decided to abandon the protest and dispersed peacefully.",
"At least 30 people showed up to protest the Church in Winnipeg. The temperature in Winnipeg on February 10 was -50 C with the wind chill.",
"Project Chanology states that people held signs stating, \"Scientology destroys families, Why is [Lisa McPherson] dead?\" and even \"Honk if you think Scientology is a cult.\"",
"Correspondents:Anonymous101",
"Although there was no official protest on the internet, thousands of people supported Anonymous by subscribing to the channel on the online video sharing site YouTube, where the numbers for the channel have doubled in 24 hours, making it the most subscribed channel on YouTube this month. However, there have also been a few comments against the protests and \"Anonymous\" in the comments section of the channel.",
"The protests were not confined to the above locations, however. Below is a selection of stories from other protests around the world."

"Englanninkielinen Wikinews raportoi sunnuntaina anonyymeinä tunnetun internet-ryhmittymän maailmanlaajuisesta skientologian vastaisesta protestista. Protesti oli osa anonyymien tammikuun puolivälissä alkanutta kampanjaa ja se oli ajoitettu vuonna 1995 skientologien Introspection Rundown -uskomuslääkintähoidon yhteydessä kuolleen Lisa McPhersonin syntymäpäiväksi.",

"2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor candidate Wayne Tseng answered some questions about his campaign for the upcoming election from Wikinews. The Lord Mayor election in the Australian city is scheduled to take place this week.",
"Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. In the candidate's questionnaire, Tseng said eTranslate had led to him working with all three tiers of the government. He previously belonged to the Australian Liberal Party, but has left since then, to run for mayorship as an independent candidate.",
"Tseng is of Chinese descent, having moved to Australia with his parents from Vietnam. Graduated in Brisbane, Tseng received his PhD in Melbourne and has been living in the city, he told Wikinews. Tseng also formed Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce, an organisation responsible for many \"community bond building initiatives\", the Lord Mayor candidate told Wikinews.",
"Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from COVID-19, and \"Democracy 2.0\" to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the aboriginals. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030.",
"Tseng's deputy Lord Mayor candidate Gricol Yang is a Commercial Banker and works for ANZ Banking Group.",
"Currently, Sally Capp is the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the Victorian capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor Robert Doyle resigned from his position after sexual assault allegations. Doyle served as the Lord Mayor of Melbourne for almost a decade since 2008.",
"Can you tell us something about yourself?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) [I am an] Australian Citizen of Chinese descent [and] fluent Cantonese, Mandarin and English speaker. Born in Vietnam and migrated to Australia with parent in the 1990s. Graduated as a computer engineer in Brisbane and received a PhD in Melbourne. Lectured in RMIT University before launching [my] firm eTranslate.",
"I authored two teaching texts: Open Learning, Introduction to Project Management and Open Learning, Introduction to Assembly Language.",
"The firm which shares the same name as the USA firm eTranslate (but not related) specialises in language expertise and language information technology. The firm has two arms — The technology arm focuses on services to help developers to create language variants of their software. The language/cultural services arm provides cultural communication services to local government. Australia is a lot of ethnic minorities speaking over 120 languages and over 80 cultures.",
"As the firm grew, I spent more [...] time in the cultural communication services arms. There I served as the principal consultant leading a team which delivered consultancy services to all three levels of government in Australia.",
"I also founded the non-profit organisation Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce which was responsible for a lot of Australia first Chinese and Australia community bond building initiatives. I have a passion for community activities that leads to the betterment of Australians.",
"In 2014 I invented the Australian Chinese Zodiac which matches the Chinese zodiac animal with the Australia local wildlife. The design was aim[ed] to promote better understanding between Chinese and Australian community. It went viral.",
"I always have been active in politics. [I] was a member of the Australian Liberal Party and participated in a federal election.",
"During my time in politics, I saw the limits of Australia's Westminister system. This system was designed by the British government to be used in its colonies in 1842. It assumed that the colonies do not have their own ideals and follow just one single set of social values. The system only allows a government and an opposition. These are often occupied by either the Progressive — The LEFT (Labour Party) and the Conservative — the RIGHT (the Liberal Party).",
"However, 21st Century Australia is much more culturally diverse. There are different ideals and social values. Australian[s] can not see themselves fit into either the LEFT or the RIGHT ideology online. The people of Australia is more comfortable with fit for purpose policies or CENTRE. The current system does not support a third centre party.",
"In fact, Australians have become more cynical about the two major parties (LEFT and RIGHT). They are well educated and well informed. They believe they can offer the government so much in input and suggestions. They want to have more say in the governing of [...] Australia.",
"I have since come to the belief that direct vote or participating democracy is the key for the next stage of the country's evolution. This is [a] movement overseas in terms of direct vote or direct democracy.",
"In Australia, I believe introduction of direct voting needs to be [a] gradual process. Laws needs to be enacted to allow direct voting. But before this, the public and [sitting] government needs to see the benefit of direct democracy.",
"((WN)) What made you decide to run for the Melbourne City's Lord Mayor? Why do you think you should be the Melbourne's Mayor?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) In [the] 2020 Melbourne local government election, I was nominated for the Lord Mayor of Melbourne. I hope to use the election as a platform to seed public awareness on participating democracy.",
"I advocated for the creation of a platform called Participate in Melbourne where the people can begin with submitting their issues/concerns, offer suggestions, hold public debate and send those conclusions to elected councillor to deliberate and vote. [I] hope once the benefits are known, the council will enact laws to allow direct vote.",
"I have founded an organisation called eTranslate that has offices in different countries. Over the years, [I] have gained a considerable amount of business and life experiences which are important in public life.",
"Apart from my professional life, I have always engaged in community work. I have a passion to enter public office and serve the community in a larger capacity.",
"I have always been active in politics. I was a member of the Australia Liberal Party and participated in a federal election.",
"During my time in politics, [I] understood the inner workings of major parties and the Australian political system.\nMost importantly, I have lived in Melbourne since 2000 and understand the city intimately as a business operator and as a resident.",
"((WN)) [C]ould you please explain what are the powers of Melbourne's Lord Mayor?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Unlike the City of London where its local government administer London CBD [Central Business District] and greater London, the City of Melbourne is divided in 76 areas and the Melbourne City Council only administer the Melbourne CBD and two surrounding residential areas, Docklands and Southbank.",
"While the area Melbourne City Council administer is small, the Melbourne CBD (second only to Sydney) is the engine of Australia's Economy. So [while] the scope of power is limited, the policies are wide-ranging. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne is partly a ceremonial role and partly a directorship role. It is like the Chairman of a company. The CEO of the council has all the executive powers. But the mayor and the councillors are like the board of directors and the chairperson. The only difference is that this chairperson sets the agenda for the CEO to implement. The chairperson drafts the agenda based on the wishes of the people — the voters.",
"((WN)) Tell us about your team Zorin. Tell us about your partner Gricol Yang.",
"((Wayne Tseng)) As required by the Victoria Election Authority. All candidates that contest for the seat of Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor must form a team for ease of identification.",
"So I choose Team Zorin as a name that represented me, Wayne Tseng — Lord Mayor Candidate and Gricol Yang — Deputy Lord Mayor Candidate.",
"I chose Zorin because I also have another company called Zorin Industries which specialise in Robotics. The name will only last until the result of the election is known.",
"Gricol Yang obtained a degree in commerce and worked in the ANZ Banking Group as a Commercial Banker.",
"((WN)) You ran in an election as a representative of the Liberal party in 2010 — why did you quit the party? What have you learned since leaving the Liberals?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I quit the party so I can run as an independent in the council election. I am pursuing direct democracy which is not an element of the Australian Liberal Party platform.",
"However, during the time as a member of the Liberal party, I have learnt so much about...",
"((WN)) Tell us about your company eTranslate.",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I founded the firm eTranslate which shares the same name as the USA firm eTranslate (but not related). We specialise in language expertise and language information technology. The firm has two arms — The technology arm focuses on services to help developers to create language variants of their software. The language/cultural services arm provides cultural communication services to local government. Australia is a lot of ethnic minorities speaking over 120 languages and over 80 cultures. We have offices across Australia and in selected countries.",
"Some of our past achievements include:",
"We also won a number of awards for our innovations.",
"((WN)) In the Candidate Questionnaire and Answers, you had listed operating eTranslate has given you expertise in undertaking the role of Councillor. How? Can you please explain?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) As the firm grew, I spent more of [my] time in the cultural communication services arms. There I served as the principal consultant leading a team which delivered consultancy services to all three levels of government in Australia.",
"[A] politician needs business and life experience so they can make decisions that address real business and life situations.",
"So I do believe after years of growing and operating a business in so many areas, I could be of a service to the city.",
"((WN)) What do you think of the current governance of Melbourne's Mayor?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) The current mayor, Sally Capp, entered mid-term when the previous mayor Robert Doyle was outsed for sexual harassment allegation.",
"I do appreciate the hard work Sally did to bridge the political divide in a council chamber she inherited. This year the pandemic has made her work even harder as for any other leaders. But what she fall short off is to stand up to the State Government (provincial government) which [has] restricted the city ability to take its own decisive action to better protect the city.",
"She is Labor aligned so she can not compromise too much of the Labor State Government reign. But a local government needs to be separate [from] State government so it can exercise its power to protect [its] constituents.",
"((WN)) Could you please [tell] us about the 'Precision Policies'?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Team Zorin pledge to bring all Melbournians to the council chamber. We will deploy an online platform to let Melbournians participate in the running of the city. You can post issues in your area, submit your solutions, raise alerts about wrong doing, rate your councillors action and comment on council decisions. It's called Participating Democracy. We pledge not only [to] formulate policies for the majority, but also [to] formulate precise policies for the minority. We called this Precision Policies.",
"You see the majority rule in current democracy. If you are in the minority, you will not be in luck. Our participating democracy platform ensure[s] that the needs of everyone includ[ing] those in minority group are captured. The government should work harder to ensure there are policies that precisely addressed the needs of everyone including minority group. Thus Precision Policies.",
"((WN)) What are some of the things you can bring to [the] table if you were to be elected as the Lord Mayor?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Many other candidates in the election only advocate big spending and relief in payment of taxes. Just like the Spanish Flu that shaped the 20th century, COVID-19 is shaping our time and the city is ill prepared for the post COVID world. Our council processes and bureaucracies are still paper base, our revenue model is not flexible to enable rapid recovery and take advantage of new opportunity.",
"My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. There is a comprehensive plan for recovery in all sectors from business to residents. See attached document.",
"((WN)) What does Melbourne lack under Sally Capp's Mayorship which you plan on improving?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Sally['s] current strategy is to spend to recovery. While this is necessary, fundamental reforms are needed.",
"My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery.",
"Key Reforms include:",
"Make Melbourne a full digitally transformed city with intelligent systems.",
"Melbourne needs an efficient platform to recover and to seize new opportunities. Some of our processes and bureaucracies are still paper base. The tech needed are already available and proven models of digitisation are easily accessible. We should move towards full digitisation plus installation of intelligent systems. In simple jargon, these intelligent systems can enable efficiency projects such as:",
"This new platform will be Melbourne \"Digital Railway\" to recovery.",
"Make Melbourne the first to reform council rate calculation.",
"Post COVID Melbourne will see many empty shops, office floors and rental apartments. This is in addition to the many heritage-listed and old CBD properties that are not rentable but incredibly valuable. The current council rate calculation which is based on property value will send these owners off the cliff.",
"Our team advocate a fundamental change to how council rate is calculated — based on yield and property value. A property of high value that remains vacant can receive lower rate bill. This will give relief but also give incentive for the property to attract new tenants. For commercial property where the tenant pays for the outgoing, the reduced rate bill will help to attract new tenants and relief for the tenant to grow their business.",
"The same applies to heritage-listed properties and residential rental properties. The list of beneficiaries is long.",
"Make Melbourne an active Jobweaver.",
"In some of candidates' campaigns have been alluded Job — Job — Jobs; unfortunately, reality is we know old industries including retail will not return the same number of jobs. So where will new jobs come from. Local government should enact policies and implement initiatives to attract new industries. While the federal government hands out Job Maker financial assistance, local government should implement \"Job Weaver\" initiatives to attract new industries.",
"While one candidate stated he has attracted a billion-dollar project to Melbourne, little of this money trickles to small businesses and local workforce. Melbourne's well-educated workforce can attract industries such as Robotics, AI Systems, Smart Financial Services and Accreditation Services. The key to attract these new industries is the development of the e-engagement platform.",
"Australia [may] enter a new NATO style trade pack with US, Japan, India, and other friendly nations. With so many Indian students and professions in Australia, Melbourne can seize the opportunity to be the business and finance center to administer these new alliances. Again, an efficient digital e-engagement platform is the key to seize these opportunities.",
"((WN)) On Team Zorin's website, you wrote \"Melbourne is too precious to be used as a test lab for half-baked policies.\" What are some of the current policies that are under-serving the residents of Melbourne?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) There are many current policies that are not working and under serving. Here are two examples:",
"The Melbourne city council [...] advocate for more residential towers and approve[d] a lot which is under construction. But there are no essential services in these areas to service residents. Essential services such as doctor, dentist, child care, mental health services and women's health services are almost non-existent.",
"Here is my advocacy: There is little on other candidates' platforms for Melbourne as Residential Precinct. There is a Chemist Warehouse in every block. But where to go when you are sick at night. Our team propose to attract essential services (such as 24 hours super-clinic) to service Melbourne residents including GPs, dentist, childcare, radiology, mental health, men's health, women's health and crisis management. We have over 50,000 students in Melbourne; however, they are not entitled to free medical at St Vincent even with a medical insurance. Gary Morgan rightly said, young family will settle in CBD, but where do they send their children for childcare, early learning, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. Schools will lift apartment resale value. New apartments are being approved but with little green space and essential services. This will be failed.",
"Melbourne City council advocate to re-open business but there is not enough measure to make sure the premises are COVID safe.",
"This is my advocacy: Make Melbourne the first to install a city-level outbreak detection team.",
"A hard COVID lesson learnt is that outbreak needs to be contain fast. COVID-19 will not be the last. There are also frequent gastro outbreaks. Our team propose Australia first city-level Rapid Response, Virus education / awareness, Outbreak Detection and Containment Team (jokingly called Bug Busters). While we may not like to mention it, China's city level Bug Busters are key for them to contain outbreaks.",
"In addition, we advocate installation of health check gates at shopping centers and places of high people concentration. These gates will not only measure temperatures but will have regularly updated features to detect other symptoms. Just like security check points, they will become part of the post-COVID world. They may be integrated as part of security and drug checks. (The technology is already in used overseas).",
"Think again, this along with PPE when mandated and social distancing is the key to safe opening.",
"((WN)) On your website, you wrote \"Team Zorin pledges to bring all Melbournians to the council chamber\" — how do you plan to do that? How will this affect people of Melbourne? What technologies would you require to achieve that?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) The phrase bring all Melbournians to the council chamber is a metaphor. The reality is that all Melbournians will have their opportunity to submit their issues and their suggestions into the digital democracy platform. They can participate in virtual debate and trials. Those findings will be submitted to the council chamber for formal debate. Now even if the laws do not allow direct vote, the platform has online polls to allow the people to vote. The elected councillors can see the \"wish\" of the people and voted accordingly. Thus — \"Bring the Melbournians to the council chamber\".",
"To a number of Melbournians who have been so stressed and depressed, it will take sometime for them to appreciate the opportunity to have their say. At the same time, so many Melbournians are tired and fed up with the current mayor for the lack of real solutions and the state government errors and mistakes, they will look for alternatives.",
"I believe instead of installing another leader who is not going to be any wiser or someone who just want[s to] offer sensationalism just to win power, this is the time where we open the pathway to collective governing. The direct democracy or participating democracy (depends on who is framing this concept) will allow Melbournians to work collectively, find out solutions, TRIAL solutions, hold [...] forum and see what really works and then tell their leader to consider these well-founded solutions.",
"It does not affect the people of Melbourne other than giving them a new avenue to seek their answers. It will put the elected official on notice that people demand more, want to take part in the process of governing. Also the demand for greater transparency.",
"There are emerging technologies for participating democracy.",
"MiVote is one prominent technology using blockchain to enable secured voting. Since the model on how direct democracy is going to unfold, the technologies are catching up with the needs of the people.",
"For the first time in digital revolution, it is technology that is catching up with the people. In this case, it is the digital democracy platform trying to the catch up with the inspiration of the people. Other less sophisticated ones include WordPress with template UpVote.",
"((WN)) What do you think of one's right to privacy? Will the people of Melbourne have to compromise a part of their privacy to accommodate to your plans for the city?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Australia has a very strong privacy protection law. By participating in the democracy platform, the people would not disclose much of their details other than:",
"((WN)) How would you ensure the digital platform you intend to deploy for residents to participate for the running of city is not misused? In what ways will you ensure only the residents of the city can use it? Will the platform use user's privacy respecting software?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) The model in which how this participating democracy works itself will also be debated. Of course, I will seed the initial model.",
"The initial model do not allow anonymous posts or vote. Every one [who] contributes must verify that they are registered voters against the voters roll in the election authority. The voting itself are base on block chain which is the most secure we now have.",
"The software will respect Australia privacy law.",
"((WN)) How do you plan to help those Melbournians who are in the economically weaker category?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) The homeless and people living below the poverty line are part of the Melbourne community. On policy, the council will rent back empty home to give temporary shelter to the homeless or reduce rental for those who are economically weaker.",
"((WN)) Statistics show number of crimes reported in various cities in Australia including Melbourne have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. How do you plan on handling the COVID-19 pandemic? What policies would you introduce to reduce the rate of crimes in Melbourne?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) On my policy platform, we have advocate[d] for night safe zones, additional CCTV and patrols. We will work with the police department (run by the state government) to ensure they monitor the parts of the city that pose higher risks.",
"((WN)) Why do you think \"Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030\"? What are some of the things necessary for ensuring that comes true? What are some of the current barriers which may prevent that from happening? How would you remove those barriers?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Australia is an island continent. It has the world largest iron, lithium, uranium and rare earth reserve[s]. It has the most agriculturally sound land. It has every geographical [feature] you can find [on] earth. There is enough land to support a population of 2 billion.",
"Melbourne like Sydney is a business, administrative and cultural centre. Yet it does not have the financial burden of being the largest city in Australia.",
"Melbourne can seize the opportunity to be administration centre of the new opportunities. From new opportunities comes [new] found wealth and city development.",
"But what is stopping the city is its old paper base bureaucracies. This is why I advocate full digital transformation of council processes and install new smart systems. I also advocate the development of a[n] e-engagement system which allow[s] new industries from overseas to quickly engage with the City of Melbourne.",
"((WN)) Tell us about \"Guided Governing\". How would that play out? Your campaign talks about Democracy 2.0. What are the things where democracy is currently failing? How do you plan to fix it?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) In the Democracy 1.0, the majority rules. If you are a minority, you[r] needs may not be addressed.",
"Melbourne is so much more than those issues raised by the mayoral candidates. The recovery needs to include everyone, not just those whose needs are on the candidates' policy platform.",
"Melbournians will no longer accept that if your needs are not on their agenda, [bad] luck try again in 4 years. A lot can happen in 4 years. One COVID-19 lesson is to address issues head on, fast and with well-founded solutions. We can see from Stage 4, there were mistakes — 50 mistakes as the Herald Sun reported.",
"We understand politicians are human, there is a limit to how much they know — especially career politicians. Melbournians as a collective can offer so much. Take my extensive policies. In fact, the list is much longer. These are real issues submitted by people at the ground level including suggestions by the people on my mini digital democracy platform.",
"For example, when Sally advocated for the expansion to Southbank Boulevard and big events, residents in Southbank already unhappy at sound levels rejected this completely. They advocate that the council should enforce a quiet zone after 10pm at residential areas. This is on my platform.",
"Melbournians can submit their observations of any failures. One election issue is the self-injecting room (I know it is the state government who put it there). While every candidate concedes having one near QVM [Queen Victoria Market] and near residential towers is bad, no candidate mentioned that there are dealers hovering 150 meters away supplying the goods creating an epicentre of drug deals around the self-injecting room. Chinese students living in EQ towers on A'beckett street reported this on my platform even if they are not voters.",
"You see citizen participating can also stop bad policy in its track, this is guided governing.",
"Melbournians can offer topics/suggestions that the candidates don't see. As a collective they have a greater foresight. In my policy document, topics discussed include:",
"These potential ideas and virtual forum findings can be submitted to the council chamber for councillors to debate guided by the evidence presented. Of course the current laws do not allow citizens to directly vote on council decisions. But Melbournians can conduct their votes on online polls. The result will show the councillors in the chamber the wish of the people. If they do not vote reflecting the wish of the people, they will know their [fate] come next election.",
"If I was to be elected, I will take gradual steps to introduce a platform for participation and direct vote.",
"My plan is to expand \"Participate Melbourne \" to empower Melbournians to",
"It goes further:",
"((WN)) Why do you plan to make Melbourne Australia's capital?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Melbourne was Australia capitol until 1927. Then it was moved to Canberra.",
"The indigenous people of Australia do have rights. But their identity and their rights are either suppressed or not encouraged.",
"I want to use Melbourne public space to be a place where the First Nations (Indigenous) people can hold their discussion forum. I want to have the map of their different tribes displayed in Town Hall.",
"I also want a day where we have the Indigenous festival.",
"((WN)) You have plans to create a city level disease detection swat unit and to install temperate and health check gates — how much time would it take to do it all across Melbourne? How much resources and funds are you planning to put behind the disease prevention of the city?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I am [not(?)] privy to council records. So I don't have all the tools to calculate. But because the area that Melbourne City Council is small. I can work out the budget. I may budget to be the same that the city is spending now controlling the outbreak.",
"((WN)) Your manifesto also mentions reviewing \"animal management plan\" — could you tell us more about it?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Pets are not support[ed] and unwanted in City of Melbourne. The current animal management plan advocates if lost pets are not claimed within a certain number of days they are killed.",
"Many people who moved from the suburbs to the city often left their pets on the streets. This is sad.",
"I think we should be compassionate. I will definitely review the pet plan and called it \"Creatures big and small care plan\".",
"((WN)) How do you plan to preserve the indigenous art and support multi-cultural aspect of the city?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Mining companies frequently blasted sacred aboriginal sites destroying precious aboriginal artwork. Some of their art work are actually dumped in shipping containers. Melbourne has so many public galler[ies] and museums. They can be commission to preserve, store and exhibit aboriginal artworks.",
"((WN)) Given the owners profit from pairing up with Airbnb which hikes the house rent — what is your stance on Airbnb and similar short-stay rentals and their long-term effect on affordability?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Airbnb and similar short-stay rental are [an] important source of income for city apartment landlords. Yet they are also a source of disturbances for residents. Residents deserve peace and enjoyment.",
"So Airbnb needs to be regulated. My plan is to have public consultation where all stakeholders get to have a say on the digital democracy platform and hold a virtual forum.",
"Some of the initial key consideration[s] include:",
"((WN)) What are some of the strongest criticisms you have received for your plans for Melbourne? How did those criticisms change your views?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) My policies for the city of Melbourne have been collectively suggested by talking to the people of Melbourne through my digital participating democracy platform. So they are populist policies. Few actually criticise them.",
"However, there is one major challenge. The current tension between Chinese and Australia fuel public speculation about why so many Chinese candidate. They are worried about foreign infiltration. While I enjoy pretty good coverage, many other Chinese/Asian candidates are being teased or harassed. Overall, this does not give a good public image for all Chinese/Asian candidates. Any voters who [do] not know me, may not vote for me because I have a Chinese face.",
"((WN)) If you had to vote for the current candidates other than yourself for this year's election, which three candidates would you vote for? Why?",
"((Wayne Tseng))",
"((WN)) What are some of the reasons people may not vote for Team Zorin?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Reasons:",
"((WN)) In case if you do not win the election, what would be your next plan of action?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) [My] goal is to leverage on the friend and networks [I have] developed to further advance participating democracy in Australia.",
"During the time as a candidate, I have used any publicity available to promote the concept. I have written to the following part[s] of society:",
"I hope to promote the concept to all level[s] of society so they will become more educated and understand its benefits. So when future government can enact direct vote, the great people of Australia can easily follow.",
"I will formally form a party called Zorin Australia which will attract member[s] across Australia through the democracy platform.",
"We will also gradually establish a nation-wide democracy platform where the great people of Australia continue to post their issues, solutions, vision, hopes and advise the government on the course of governing.",
"The various champions on the platform can be great candidate[s] to represent the people come next election.",
"((WN)) What do you think of world dominance?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I do not believe in world dominance. The whole point of the participating democracy or Democracy 2.0 is to give the power to determine by the people.",
"The people collaborate in their own community. The different communities collaborate in a city. Cities collaborate in a state/provinces. Provinces collaborate in a country. Countries collaborate together as part of one cohesive entity.",
"Of course, this is a utopia that is not going to happen anytime soon. But it is a model that we hope where countries at different stage of readiness will adopt. Step by step humanity improves.",
"Imagine we have a new martian colony. What kind of government will we want to be there. We will likely want something like participating democracy, everyone['s] needs are address, everyone collectively decides. So if this is what is in the future, why can['t] we start to slow[ly] adopt this model today.",
"((WN)) What does the demographic of Melbourne currently look like?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) According to 2016 census:",
"Children aged 0–14 years made up 3.8% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 5.1% of the population. Of people in Melbourne (State Suburbs) aged 15 years and over, 23.7% were married and 5.8% were either divorced or separated.",
"0.5% of the population, or 24,062 people, identified as Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders) in 2016. Melbourne has the 10th largest immigrant population among world metropolitan areas. In Greater Melbourne at the 2016 census, 63.3% of residents were born in Australia.",
"((WN)) How do you plan on making Melbourne the Repository for Cultural Artefacts and Knowledge?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I always believe knowledge is humanity['s] biggest achievement. Yet they are constantly be[ing] destroy[ed] by successive regime who see certain part do not align with their ideology. It happens all around the world.",
"But I [don't] want to be racist. I am Chinese. So I can comment on China. For a millenni[um] each imperial dynasty aim[ed] to destroy the knowledge and culture of those that were not compatible with their regime.",
"The biggest destruction was [by] the Qin (Chin) emperor when he unified China. Even to this day, the Chinese Cultural Revolution has further destroy[ed] what was traditional China.",
"We see it in Afghanistan, Syria and even in Australia.",
"There are a large part of Australia society which love truth, knowledge and fairness.",
"Australia for the time being is very stable politically. The country geographic is stable with no earthquakes and volcanoes. Humidity is low and weather stable.",
"To sum it up, it is a country suitable to [store] artefact[s] and knowledge that are at risks in their host country. The benefit for Australia is that the world will come and see, bring[ing] tourism.",
"The artefacts will only be preserve[d] here with consent of the traditional owners.",
"((WN)) Are you aware of the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museum) outreach project run by Wikimedia? Do you look forward to facilitating the outreach for mutual benefit? How would you facilitate that?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I did not know until now. I understand what is GLAM. I think it can serve as a great preservation of culture, artefact while Wikipedia is for the preservation of knowledge. I will look into it in the future.",
"((WN)) What according to you is more important: Representation of minorities in the council or minority citizens getting a platform to express their needs, and grievances? Why? What are your plans to achieve that?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) It's democracy in Australia. The City administration changes after each election. Certain administration may be pro-minority, some may not. Some administration may have good minority representation, some may not.",
"So it is important that there is a platform which empowers the minority to post their needs and discuss their preferences. [By] law if issues are known, they need to be addressed by the government.",
"So it will be ideal that we get both good minority representation in government and the platform to support them. But the former can not be guaranteed.",
"((WN)) Why did you start eTranslate? What type of advice does it provide to the three tiers of government?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) eTranslate has two arms — the Technology arm — which focus on empowering technologies to support multicultural user needs and multilingual content.",
"The other is multicultural communication services — It is a like a Public Relation service but focus on ethnic groups. So our team provide this multicultural PR services to government. We empower the government clients with language resources, cultural expertises and ethnic media channel to interact with their ethnic minority constituents.",
"So we work with all levels of government.",
"((WN)) What are some of the problems ethnic minorities face in Melbourne?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Due to low fertility rate, Australia has [to] constantly embark on increasing migration to top up its population. As such, there is a diverse set of ethnic minority groups in fact over 80. Australia treat[s] its minority well compare to other OECD [(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)] countries. But when you have so many group[s] competing for government priorities, it is hard to find a balance.",
"Most of the time, the larger minority group[s] gain more access to resources. This is why my participating democracy platform helps to ensure the needs of all minority groups are identified and addressed — Thus Precision Policies.",
"((WN)) What percentage of residents in Melbourne and Victoria are aboriginals?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Melbourne 0.5%, Victoria 1.6%.",
"((WN)) Aboriginal population in Melbourne and in Victoria is very low as compared to other states. Why? And would it make sense to make Melbourne capital of Aboriginals when there aren't enough of them in the city?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) The distribution of indigenous people depends on a lot of factors. These again due to historical reasons that we can go on forever. The are tens of indigenous tribes across the country. Sadly some were hunted to extinction in the last century, particularly in Tasmania.",
"Mak[ing] a location a capital for the First Nations people will be symbolic rather than totally enshrine[d] in law. Ideally it would be best in the City of Darwin. But unless I was a mayor there, it may not happen.",
"So having [it] in Melbourne does allow some symbolic and provide a forum for the different tribes to gather and have open discussions.",
"The \"capital\" can rotate from city to city periodically if other cities allow. But ultimately it will be up to the elders to approve.",
"((WN)) How [do] you envision Melbourne would look like by 2025 under your mayorship?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Each mayor term is 4 years, that takes it to 2024 at the latest. Realistically, Melbourne and Australia being a much smaller economy will take longer to recover from COVID-19.",
"So to be practical, we hope the city will attain the following by 2024-25:",
"((WN)) If elected, what would constitute a successful mayorship for you?",
"((Wayne Tseng)) I believe what constitute a successful mayorship are",
"Wayne Tseng also shared his insights on various things on how collaboration between the members of society,",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Just [to] summarise:",
"Since I was 10, I watched how the ant[s] collaborate. I asked how we people can collaborate further. In school, I appreciated competition bring creativity. But I also believe collaboration ensures not only creativity, but accountability, responsibility, integrity and productivity.",
"When I was in university, my computer studies focused on collaborative computing. My post graduate research was on software globalisation — again global collaboration.",
"My company eTranslate really aims to empower companies to go global while in Australia assist all ethnic minority groups collaborate and co-exist in harmony.",
"In politics, I seek to find a solution where we can reach consensus. It does not have to be LEFT or RIGHT, black or white. Democracy is one system that endures, but it is no longer acceptable to just say majority rules. This led me to participating democracy or Democracy 2.0.",
"Once can say — So my life experience really led me towards participating democracy or Democracy 2.0.",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Democracy 2.0:",
"When I gave presentation, I always said if there is a Mars Colony now, what kind of political system or government would you prefer: Authoritarianism, Communism, Fascism, Monarchy or Democracy?",
"If Democracy, do you want to be squeeze[d] to either the LEFT or the RIGHT or only majority rules? Or may be you want a collective government where the needs of everyone is addressed. So that's participating democracy. Now if that is the future, why don't we progress towards this TODAY.",
"I have developed an index to measure to what degree a country has adopted participating democracy. I share this in the future topic.",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Society 1.0:",
"While developing the model for participating democracy, I saw many institutions have refined processes and some have matured to a point where it is like a car. The [model], functions and overall attributes of a car is matured.",
"Imagine that we put all the attributes of an institution whether a health system, a hospital, a school or an education department in a bottle. We can deploy this to other countries that have [not] yet got such a matured setup.",
"Now imagine we got a whole matured community or city setup in bottle, this can be deploy to new city setup in the dessert or new settled land.",
"Now imagine after exchanging and further developing these setup. Eventually, like a car which is quite mature, we have a setup or definition of a city or SOCIETY that is almost universally accepted. I call this SOCIETY 1.0.",
"Democracy 2.0 can lead to SOCIETY 1.0. The ongoing debate of how to govern a society will lead to a universally agreed FORMAT/SETUP/DEFINITION of a SOCIETY.",
"During COVID-19, the ability of different medical centres to collaborate in the development and trialling of different vaccine candidates showed the need to standardise setup of clinics, hospital and even the health ministry. Those that are compatible and matured progressed further.",
"It will take a moment to sink it.",
"((Wayne Tseng)) Collectivism 1.0:",
"Collaboration and Collectivism if well structured or modelled can be the next BIG step in human achievement.",
"We see collaboration between students. Let say this has a productivity factor of 4 (where 1 is a person working on his own)",
"We see collaborat[ion] of different team[s] working together each focusing on a part of the problem. This has the productivity factor of 16.",
"However if there is [a] well defined guide to community collaboration where the high number of participants can explore all different permutation[s] of a problem, the productivity factor can be 256. Add in computation power. We are talking about a factor of 65,536. It will expand humanity achievements.",
"Back to my childhood observation — the numbers do count in creativity and productivity.",
"The holy grail is to find that magic collaboration model."

"澳大利亚墨尔本市市长选举定于本周举行，到30日投票閉幕。2020年墨尔本市长候选人曾伟煌（Wayne Tseng）在英文维基新闻采访中回答了有关其竞选活动的一些问题。",
"曾先生经营着一家名为eTranslate的公司。该公司可帮助软件开发人员向用户提供该软件。他在候选人的调查问卷中说，eTransalte促使他与三个级别的政府合作他以前属于是澳大利亚自由党（Australian Liberal Party），但此后离开，以独立候选人身份竞选市长。",
"曾先生告诉维基新闻他是华裔，跟随父母从越南移民到澳大利亚，在布里斯班毕业，在墨尔本获得博士学位，一直生活在这个城市。这位市长候选人还告诉维基新闻他创立了华人区总商会（Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce）， 该组织负责许多“社区纽带建设计划”。",
"曾先生讨论了他领导墨尔本从新冠状病毒（COVID-19）中恢复过来的计划，以及“民主2.0”，以确保关注到该市少数民族的担忧和需求。曾先生还强调多元文化的重要性，并谈到了使墨尔本成为土著居民的首都。他还解释了为什么他认为墨尔本有望在2030年成为世界城市。",
"曾先生的副市长候选人是杨礼辉（Gricol Yang），是位商业银行家，就职于澳新银行集团（ANZ Banking Group）。",
"目前，薩莉·卡普（Sally Capp）是维多利亚州首府墨尔本的市长，卡普于2018年年终被选为临时市长。此前，前市长羅伯特·道爾（Robert Doyle）因性侵犯被指控而辞职，自2008年以来，道爾担任了近十年墨尔本市长。",
"你能告訴我們一些關於你自己的事情嗎？",
"曾偉煌 我是擁有中國血統的澳洲公民，會說流利的廣東話、普通話和英文。我出生於越南，跟隨父母在上世紀90年代移民澳洲。我畢業於布里斯班計算機工程系並在墨爾本獲得博士學位。在創辦公司eTranslate之前我曾在墨爾本皇家理工大學講學。",
"我撰寫了兩本教學教科書：開放式學習的《項目管理導論》（Introduction to Project Management）和開放式學習的《匯編語言導論》（Introduction to Assembly Language）。",
"該公司雖然與美國的eTranslate公司同名（但不相關），專門從事語言專業知識和語言訊息技術。該公司有兩個分支機構：技術分支專注於幫助開發人員創建其軟件的語言變體的服務；語言／文化分支向為地方政府提供文化交流服務。澳洲有超過120多種語言和80多種文化的少數民族。",
"隨着公司的發展，我花更多時間在文化交流服務部門。我在那裏擔任首席顧問，領導一個為澳洲各級政府提供諮詢服務的團隊。",
"我還成立了非營利的華人區總商會（Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce），該會負責幫助許多澳洲華人和澳洲社區的首次紐帶建設項目。我熱衷於使澳洲人生活得到改善的社區活動。",
"2014年，我發明了用澳洲當地野生動物與中國十二生肖動物相匹配的澳洲十二生肖。目的是在促進中國和澳洲社區之間的更好交流。這個發明傳播開了。",
"我一直活躍於政治。我曾經是澳洲自由黨（Australian Liberal Party）的成員，參加了聯邦選舉。",
"在我從政期間，我看到了澳洲威斯敏斯特體系（Westminster system）的局限性。該體系是由英國政府設計，於1842年在其殖民地使用。假設殖民地沒有它自己的想法，僅遵循一套單一的社會價值觀，該體系只允許政府和反對派。這些往往被進步黨（The Progressive）、左派（工黨）（The LEFT（Labour Party））、右派（自由黨）（The RIGHT（Liberal Party））佔據。",
"但是，21世紀的澳洲在文化上更加多元化，有不同的想法和社會價值觀。澳洲人看不到自己適合在線的左派或右派意識形態，澳洲人民更適應目標政策或中心，當前體系不支持第三方中間黨派。",
"在澳洲，我認為引入直接投票是需要一個漸進的過程。需要制定法律以允許直接投票。但是在此之前，公眾和（現任的）政府需要看到直接民主的好處。",
"WN 是甚麼讓您決定競選墨爾本市的市長？您為甚麼認為自己應該擔任墨爾本市長？",
"曾偉煌 在2020年墨爾本地方政府選舉中，我被提名為墨爾本市市長候選人。我希望以選舉為平台，提高公眾對參與民主的意識。",
"我主張在墨爾本創建一個名為“參與”（Participate）的平台，使人們可以開始提出自己的問題/疑慮，提出建議，進行公開辯論，並將這些結論發送給當選議員進行審議和投票。我希望一旦人們知道好處，議會將制定法律允許直接投票。",
"我建立了一個名為eTranslate的公司，該公司在不同的國家設有辦事處。多年來，我獲得了很多的商業經驗和生活經驗，這對公共生活至關重要。",
"除了我的職業生涯，我一直從事社區工作。我熱衷於成為公職人員並以更大的能力為社區服務。",
"我一直活躍於政治。我曾經是澳洲自由黨（Australia Liberal Party）的成員，參加了聯邦選舉。",
"在我從政期間，我了解了主要政黨和澳洲政治體系的內部運作。最重要的是，自2000年以來，我就一直居住在墨爾本，作為一個商業經營者和居民，我對這座城市有深刻的了解。",
"WN 請你解釋一下墨爾本市長的權力是甚麼？",
"曾偉煌 與地方政府管理倫敦（London）中央商務區（Central Business District）和大倫敦地區的倫敦市不同，墨爾本市分為76個區域，墨爾本市議會（Melbourne City Council）僅管理墨爾本中央商務區和兩個周邊居民區，墨爾本濱海港區（Docklands）和南岸（Southbank） 。",
"儘管墨爾本市議會管理的區域很小，但墨爾本中央商務區（僅次於悉尼）是澳洲經濟的引擎。因此，儘管權力範圍有限，但政策範圍很廣。墨爾本市長的角色既是儀式性的角色，又是董事職位，就像公司董事長一樣，理事會的首席執行官（CEO）擁有所有執行權。但是市長和議員就像董事會和主席一樣。唯一的區別是，該主席為首席執行官設定了實施議程，主席根據選民的意願起草議程。",
"WN 跟我們說說關於您的寶盛（Zorin）團隊。跟我們談談關於您的拍檔楊禮輝（Griocol Yang）。",
"曾偉煌 根據維多利亞選舉管理局（Victoria Election Authority）的要求，所有爭奪市長和副市長席位的候選人都必須組成一個小組以方便識別。",
"因此，我選擇代表我曾偉煌（Wayne Tseng），市長候選人和楊禮輝（Gricol Yang），副市長候選人的寶盛作為競選團隊的名字。",
"我之所以選擇寶盛，因為我還有一家公司名為寶盛盈富（Zorin），專門研究機械人技術。寶盛（Zorin）這個字只會持續到選舉結果揭曉。",
"楊禮輝（Gricol Yang）獲得商業學位，在澳新銀行集團（ANZ Banking Group）擔任商業銀行家。",
"WN 您在2010年以自由黨代表的身份參加競選，為甚麼您退出自由黨？離開自由黨以來，您學到了甚麼？",
"曾偉煌 我退出了這個政黨，因此我可以以獨立的無黨派人士的身份參加議會選舉。我追求的是直接民主，這不是澳洲自由黨綱領的組成部分。",
"然而，在作為自由黨的一員期間，我學到了很多關於……",
"WN 跟我們談談您的公司eTranslate。",
"曾偉煌 我創立了eTranslate公司，該公司雖然與美國的eTranslate公司同名（但不相關），專門從事語言專業知識和語言訊息技術。該公司有兩個分支機構：技術分支專注於幫助開發人員創建其軟件的語言變體的服務；語言/文化分支向為地方政府提供文化交流服務。澳洲有超過120多種語言和80多種文化的少數民族。我們在澳洲和部分國家設有辦公室。",
"我們過去的一些成就包括：",
"我們還獲得了多項創新獎項。",
"WN 在“候選人調查問卷表和答案”中，您列出了運營eTranslate已經為您提供了擔任市議員的專業知識。為何這麼說？您能解釋一下嗎？",
"曾偉煌 隨着公司的發展，我花更多時間在文化交流服務部門。我在那裏擔任首席顧問，領導一個為澳洲各級政府提供諮詢服務的團隊。",
"一個政治家需要豐富的商業經驗和生活經驗，這樣他們才能做出解決實際商業問題和改善生活狀況的正確決策。",
"因此，我確實相信經過這麼多年的發展和商業運營，我可以為這座城市服務。",
"WN 您如何看待墨爾本市長當前的治理？",
"曾偉煌 現任市長薩莉·卡普（Sally Capp）在前任市長羅伯特·道爾（Robert Doyle）因性騷擾指控出局後進入了中期選舉。",
"我非常感謝Sally在她繼承的議會中為彌合政治分歧所做的努力，今年的疫情使她的工作比其他任何領導人都更加艱難，但她沒有做到的是與州政府（省級政府）抗衡，後者限制了該市採取果斷行動更好地保護城市的能力。",
"她與工黨結盟，因此她不能在工黨政府的統治下妥協太多。但地方政府需要與州政府分開，這樣才能行使權力來保護其選民。",
"WN WN：您能跟我們談談“精確政策”（Precision Policies）嗎？",
"曾偉煌 寶盛團隊承諾將所有墨爾本人帶到議會會議廳。我們將部署一個在線平台，讓墨爾本人參與該城市的運營。您可以在您所在地區發佈問題、提交解決方案、警告錯誤行為、評分議員行動並評論議會決定。這就叫做參與民主（Participating Democracy）。我們保證不僅為多數人制定政策，而且還要為少數人制定精確的政策。我們稱此為精密政策（Precision Policies）。",
"您會看到當前民主制中的多數統治。如果您是少數派，那麼您將不會很幸運。我們的參與民主平台可確保包括少數民族在內的每個人的需求都能得到滿足。政府應加倍努力，以確保制定出能夠準確滿足包括少數民族在內的所有人需求的政策。這就是精確策略（Precision Policies）。",
"WN 如果您當選市長，您將會做些甚麼呢？",
"曾偉煌 許多其他參加選舉的候選人只主張大筆支出和減免稅款。就像西班牙流感改變了20世紀一樣，新冠狀病毒（COVID-19）正在改變我們的時代，這座城市沒有為後疫情世界做好充分的準備。我們的議會程序和官僚機構仍是紙上談兵，我們的收入模型不靈活，無法實現快速復甦並利用新的機會。",
"我的策略是重新開放、重置、改革， 這將作為墨爾本復甦的一部分。從企業到居民，所有部門都有一個全面的復甦計劃。請參閱附件。",
"WN 在市長薩莉·卡普（Sally Capp）的領導下，墨爾本缺少甚麼，您打算如何改善？",
"曾偉煌 卡普的當前策略是花錢恢復經濟。儘管這是必要的，但需要進行根本的改革。\n我的策略是重新開放、重置、改革， 這將作為墨爾本復甦的一部分。關鍵改革包括：",
"通過智能系統使墨爾本成為完全數碼化的城市。",
"墨爾本需要一個高效的平台來復甦並抓住新的機會。我們的一些流程和官僚機構仍是紙上談兵。所需的技術已經具備，並且經過驗證的數碼化模型也可以被輕鬆訪問。我們應該邁進全面數碼化和安裝智能系統的新時代。用簡單的術語來說，這些智能系統可以實現如下高效項目：",
"這個新平台將使墨爾本的“數字鐵路”得以復甦。",
"使墨爾本成為第一個改革市政費率計算的城市。",
"後疫情時期墨爾本將看到許多空置的商店、辦公樓和用來出租的公寓。除此之外，還有許多無法租用但具有極高價值的遺產名錄和CBD舊房子。當前基於物業價值的市政費率計算將使這些業主陷入困境。",
"我們的團隊主張，從根本上改變市政費率的計算方式，基於收益率和財產價值。閒置的高價值物業可以收到較低的稅率賬單。這樣既可以減輕負擔，又可以激勵物業吸引新的租客。對於由租客支付市政費的商業物業，降低市政費的法案將有助於吸引新租客，並減輕租客發展他們自己企業的負擔。",
"這同樣適用於列入遺產名錄的房地產和住宅租賃房地產。受益者名單很長。",
"使墨爾本成為活躍的Jobweaver。",
"在一些候選人的競選活動中，有人暗指工作……工作……工作；不幸的是，現實是我們知道包括零售在內的舊行業無法提供相同數量的工作機會。因此，新的就業機會將從何而來。地方政府應制定政策並採取措施吸引新產業。在聯邦政府為創造就業機會的企業提供財政援助的同時，地方政府應實施“工作織工”（Job Weaver）計劃以吸引新產業。",
"雖然一位候選人表示，他已經吸引了一個價值十億美元的項目到墨爾本，但這筆資金很少流向小型企業和當地勞動力。墨爾本受過良好教育的勞動力可以吸引機械人、人工智能系統（AI Systems）、智能金融服務和認證服務等行業。吸引這些新興產業的關鍵是開發電子參與（e-engagement）平台。",
"澳洲可能與美國、日本、印度和其他友好國家進入北約（NATO）式的新貿易協定。在澳洲有如此眾多的印度學生和專業人士，墨爾本可以抓住機會成為商業和金融中心來管理這些新的聯盟。再次強調，有效的電子參與（e-engagement）平台是抓住這些機會的關鍵。",
"WN 您在寶盛團隊的網站上寫道：“珍貴的墨爾本不能成為測試半成品政策的實驗室。”目前有哪些對墨爾本居民服務不足的政策？",
"曾偉煌 當前有許多無效的政策在起作用。這是兩個示例：",
"墨爾本市議會主張建造更多的住宅塔樓，並批准很多正在建設中的建築，但是沒有在這些地區提供居民的基本服務。這些地區幾乎不存在諸如醫生，牙醫，兒童保育，精神保健服務和婦女保健服務之類的基本服務。",
"這是我的主張：其他候選人沒有人考慮墨爾本的住宅區。在墨爾本每個街區都有一家藥店，但是晚上生病時該去哪裏就診？我們的團隊建議吸引基本服務（例如24小時全天候診所）為墨爾本居民提供服務，包括全科醫生，牙醫，育兒，放射科，心理健康，男性健康，女性健康和危機管理。我們在墨爾本有50,000多名外來學生，但是即使擁有醫療保險，他們也無權在聖文森特享受免費醫療。加里·摩根（Gary Morgan）正確地表示，年輕的家庭將定居在中央商務區，但是他們將來要把孩子送到哪裏去託管，早教，到哪裏去就讀幼兒園，中小學呢？學校將提高公寓的轉售價值，但正在審批中的新公寓項目幾乎沒有綠地和基本服務，這將造成失敗。",
"墨爾本市議會提倡重新恢復商店的營業，但沒有足夠的措施來確保場所安全。",
"這是我的主張：使墨爾本成為第一個組建城市級爆發檢測團隊的城市。",
"我們從疫情中學到的一個經驗是，疫情的爆發需要迅速控制。 這不會是最後一個疫情，墨爾本頻繁爆發消化系統傳染病。我們的團隊建議在澳洲建立第一個城市級快速響應、防疫教育、爆發檢測和遏制團隊（可以戲稱之為Bug Busters）。儘管我們可能不願提及，但中國城市一級的封鎖是遏制疫情擴散的關鍵。",
"此外，我們提倡在購物中心和人流密集的地方安裝健康檢查門。這些門不僅可以測量溫度，還可以定期更新功能以檢測其他症狀。就像安全檢查點一樣，它們將成為世界抗擊疫情的一部分。它們也可能成為安全檢查和毒品檢查的一部分。 （該技術已在國外使用）",
"再想一想，強制性的個人防護裝備和社交距離是城市恢復安全開放的關鍵。",
"WN 在您的網站上，您寫了“寶盛團隊承諾將所有墨爾本市民帶入市政廳”。您打算如何做？這將如何影響墨爾本市民？您要通過甚麼方法來實現這一目標？",
"曾偉煌 將所有墨爾本人帶入市政廳這是一個比喻。我的意思是，所有墨爾本人都有機會將他們的問題和建議提交到數字民主平台中，他們可以參加虛擬辯論和審判，這些調查結果將提交給議會會議廳進行正式辯論。現在，即使法律不允許直接投票，該平台也可以通過在線民意調查讓人們投票。當選議員可以看到人民的願望，並據此投票。因此，我們“把墨爾本人帶到議會廳”。",
"對於許多如此壓抑和沮喪的墨爾本人來說，他們需要一些時間來發表自己的意見。同時，許多墨爾本人由於缺乏解決方案以及州政府的失誤而對現任市長感到厭倦和無法忍受，他們會尋找替代方案。",
"我相信，這是我們為集體治理開闢道路的時候了，而不是推舉一個不會變得更明智的領導人或一個只想提供聳人聽聞的想法以贏得權力的領導人。直接民主製或參與民主制（取決於誰來構想這個概念）將使墨爾本市民共同努力，找出解決方案，試用方案，舉行論壇，看看真正有效的方法，然後告訴其領導人認真考慮這些基礎的解決方案。",
"除了給他們提供尋求答案的新途徑外，它不會影響墨爾本市民。它將使民選官員注意到人們有更多要求，希望參與執政過程。也要求更大的透明度。",
"現在，我們有新興的民主參與技術。",
"MiVote是一項使用區塊鏈實現安全投票的傑出技術。由於人們需要直接民主的模式，所以科學技術正在趕上人們的需求。",
"在數字革命中，這是技術第一次趕上人們。在這種情況下，正是數字民主平台試圖追趕人民的靈感，其他不那麼複雜的工具包括帶有模板UpVote的WordPress產生了。",
"WN 您如何看待私隱權？墨爾本市民會不得不犧牲一部分私隱來適應您對城市的計劃嗎？",
"曾偉煌 澳洲有非常嚴格的私隱保護法。通過參與民主平台，市民除了以下三點之外不會透露他們的更多細節：",
"WN 您將如何確保您打算為居民參與城市運行而部署的數碼平台不會被濫用？您將以甚麼方式確保只有墨爾本市民才能使用它？平台會使用用戶私隱保護軟件嗎？",
"Wayne Tseng這種參與民主製本身如何運作的模式也將受到質疑。當然，我將解釋初始模型。",
"初始模型不允許匿名帖子或投票。每個做出貢獻的人都必須核實自己是已登記的選民，而不是選舉機構中的選民。投票本身基於區塊鏈，這是我們現在擁有的最安全的區塊鏈。",
"該軟件將遵守澳洲私隱法。",
"WN 您打算如何幫助那些經濟上弱勢的墨爾本市民？",
"曾偉煌 無家可歸者和生活在貧困線以下的人們是墨爾本社區的一部分。根據我的政綱，市政府將租用空置房屋，為無家可歸者提供臨時住所，或減少經濟上較弱勢者的租金。",
"WN 統計數據顯示，在疫情大流行期間，澳洲各個城市（包括墨爾本）報告的犯罪數量有所增加。您如何計劃應對疫情大流行？您將採取甚麼政策來降低墨爾本的犯罪率？",
"曾偉煌 在我的政綱上，我倡導設置夜間安全區，額外的閉路電視和巡邏。我們將與警察局（由州政府運營）合作，以確保風險較高的地區得到監視。",
"WN 您為甚麼認為“墨爾本有望在2030年之前成為國際城市”？確保實現這些目標需要做些甚麼？目前有哪些障礙會阻止這個目標？您將如何消除這些障礙？",
"曾偉煌 澳洲是一個島嶼大陸。它擁有世界上最大的鐵、鋰、鈾和稀土儲量。它擁有農業上最可靠的土地。它具有您可以在地球上找到的每一種地理特徵。有足夠的土地來支持20億人口。",
"像悉尼一樣，墨爾本是商業，行政和文化中心。然而，它沒有成為澳洲最大城市的經濟負擔。",
"墨爾本可以抓住機會，成為新機遇的行政中心。從新的機遇中發現財富和城市發展。",
"但是阻止這座城市的是其陳舊的官僚機構。這就是為甚麼我主張對理事會流程進行完全數碼化轉型並安裝新的智能系統的原因。我還主張開發一種電子參與系統，該系統可以使來自海外的新產業迅速與墨爾本市互動。",
"WN 請告訴我們您政綱中“指導性治理”的內容，它將如何發揮作用？您的選舉廣告談論民主2.0。現行的民主制度目前正在失敗的地方是甚麼？您打算如何解決？",
"曾偉煌 在「民主1.0」中，多數人說了算。如果你是少數派，你的需求可能不會得到解決。",
"墨爾本的問題遠不止於市長候選人提出的那些問題。復興需要包括每個人，而不僅僅是那些需求在候選人的政策平台上的人。",
"墨爾本人不會再接受如果你的需求不在他們的議程上，那就倒霉了，4年後再試試。4年內可以發生很多事情。新冠疫情的一個教訓是，要直面問題，快速解決，並提出有根據的解決方案。我們可以從第四階段看到，有錯誤，《太陽先驅報》（Herald Sun）報導的50個錯誤。",
"我們明白政治家是人，他們知道的東西是有限的，尤其是職業政治家。Melbournians（墨爾本市的本地人或居民）作為一個集體可以提供這麼多。以我的廣泛政策為例。事實上，這個清單要長得多。這些都是人們在基層提交的真實問題，包括人們在我的小型數字民主平台上提出的建議。",
"例如，當莎莉主張擴大到南岸大道和大型活動時，南岸的居民已經對聲音水平不滿意，完全拒絕了。他們主張議會應該在晚上10點以後在居民區實施安靜區。這是我的綱領。",
"Melbournians可以提交他們對任何失敗的觀察。一個選舉問題是自注室（我知道是州政府放的）。雖然每個候選人都承認在維多利亞女皇市場（QVM）附近和居民樓附近有一個是不好的，但沒有一個候選人提到有毒販子在150米外徘徊，提供貨物，在自助注射室周圍創造了一個毒品交易的中心。住在阿貝克特街（A'beckett）EQ大廈的中國學生即使不是選民，也在我的平台上報告了這一點。",
"你看公民參與也可以阻止不良政策的發生，這就是引導式治理。",
"Melbournians可以提供候選人看不到的議題／建議。作為一個集體，他們有更大的預見性。在我的政策文件中，討論的議題包括",
"如果我當選，我會循序漸進地引入一個參與和直接投票的平台。",
"我的計劃是擴大「參與墨爾本」（Participate Melbourne）的範圍，使墨爾本人能夠",
"WN 為甚麼你打算把墨爾本作為澳洲的首都？",
"曾偉煌 墨爾本在1927年之前一直是澳洲的首都。然後，首都被遷到坎培拉。",
"澳洲的土著人確實有權利，但他們的身份和權利不是被壓制就是不被鼓勵。但他們的身份和權利不是被壓制就是不被鼓勵。",
"我想利用墨爾本的公共空間，成為第一民族（土著）可以舉辦論壇的地方。我希望在市政廳展示他們不同部落的地圖。",
"我還希望有一天我們能舉辦土著人節日。",
"WN 你們計劃建立一個城市級別的疾病檢測猛擊單位，並安裝溫濕度和健康檢查門。這需要多少時間來完成整個墨爾本的工作？你們計劃投入多少資源和資金來支持城市的疾病預防工作？",
"曾偉煌 我不知道委員會的紀錄，所以我沒有所有的工具來計算。但因為墨爾本市議會的區域很小，我可以計算出預算，我可能會預算到和市裏現在控制疫情的花費一樣。",
"WN 你的宣言還提到了審查「動物管理計劃」（Animal management plan），你能告訴我們更多關於它的訊息嗎？",
"曾偉煌 在墨爾本市，寵物是不被支持和不被需要的。目前的動物管理計劃主張，如果丟失的寵物在一定天數內不被認領，就會被殺死。",
"很多從郊區搬到城市的人經常把寵物丟在街上。這是很可悲的。",
"我認為我們應該有同情心。我一定要檢討一下寵物計劃，叫它「生物大小護理計劃」。",
"WN 您打算如何保護本土藝術和支持城市的多元文化？",
"曾偉煌 礦業公司經常爆破神聖的原住民遺址，破壞珍貴的原住民藝術品，他們的一些藝術作品實際上被傾倒在運輸集裝箱中。墨爾本有那麼多的公共畫廊和博物館，他們可以受委託保存、儲存和展出原住民藝術作品。",
"WN 鑑於業主通過與Airbnb配對而獲利，而Airbnb會抬高房屋租金，你對Airbnb和類似的短租房及其對負擔能力的長期影響持甚麼立場？（Airbnb是讓大眾出租住宿民宿的網站，提供短期出租房屋或房間的服務）",
"曾偉煌 Airbnb和類似的短租是城市公寓房東的重要收入來源。然而，它們也是居民的干擾源。居民應該得到安寧和享受。",
"所以Airbnb需要受到監管。我的計劃是進行公眾諮詢，讓所有的利益相關者都能在數字民主平台上發表意見，並舉行虛擬論壇。",
"初步的一些主要考慮包括：",
"WN 你在墨爾本的計劃中受到的最強烈的批評是甚麼？ 這些批評是如何改變你的觀點的？",
"曾偉煌 我對墨爾本市的政策是通過我的數字參與民主平台與墨爾本人民交談後集體提出的，所以它們是民粹主義政策，實際上很少有人批評它們。",
"但是，有一個重大的挑戰。目前中國和澳洲之間的緊張關係助長了公眾對為甚麼這麼多中國候選人的猜測，他們擔心外國滲透，雖然我享受相當不錯的報導，但許多其他中國及亞洲候選人正在被戲弄或騷擾。總的來說，這對所有華裔和亞裔候選人來說，並不是一個好的公眾形象。任何不認識我的選民，可能會因為我有一張中國面孔而不投票給我。",
"WN 如果在今年的選舉中，除了自己之外，你還要投給現任候選人，你會投給哪三位候選人？為甚麼？",
"Wayne Tseng",
"WN 人們可能不投票給寶盛（Zorin）團隊的原因有哪些？",
"曾偉煌 原因：",
"WN 萬一你沒有贏得選舉，你下一步的行動計劃是甚麼？",
"曾偉煌 我的目標是利用我所建立的朋友和網絡，進一步推動澳洲的參與式民主。",
"在擔任候選人期間，我利用一切可以利用的宣傳手段來宣傳這一概念。我已經給以下社會各界寫信。",
"我將正式成立一個名為「澳洲寶盛」（Zorin Australia）的政黨，通過民主平台吸引全澳的成員。",
"我們也將逐步建立一個全國性的民主平台，讓偉大的澳洲人民繼續在這個平台上發佈他們的問題、解決方案、願景、希望，為政府的執政提供建議。",
"平台上的各種擁護者可以在下次選舉時成為代表人民的優秀候選人。",
"WN 你怎麼看世界霸主（World dominance）？",
"曾偉煌 我不相信世界主導權。參與式民主或民主2.0的全部意義在於賦予人民決定的權力。",
"人民在自己的社區中合作。不同的社區在一個城市裏合作。城市在一個州/省裏合作，省在一個國家裏合作。省在一個國家合作。國家作為一個有凝聚力的實體的一部分共同協作。",
"當然，這是一個烏托邦，不會很快發生。但我們希望處於不同準備階段的國家都能採用這種模式。人類一步步進步。",
"想像一下，我們有一個新的火星殖民地。我們會希望那裏的政府是甚麼樣的。我們很可能會想要類似於參與式的民主，每個人的需求都被解決，每個人集體決定。所以如果這是未來的事情，我們為甚麼不能在今天開始慢慢採用這種模式。",
"WN 目前墨爾本的人口結構是怎樣的？",
"曾偉煌 根據2016年的人口普查：",
"0-14歲的兒童占人口的3.8%，65歲及以上的人占人口的5.1%。在墨爾本（州郊）15歲及以上的人口中，23.7%的人已婚，5.8%的人離婚或分居。",
"2016年，0.5%的人口，即24,062人被確認為澳洲土著人（澳洲土著人和托雷斯海峽島民）。墨爾本的移民人口在世界大都市中排名第十。在2016年的人口普查中，大墨爾本有63.3%的居民在澳洲出生。",
"WN 你打算如何使墨爾本成為文化藝術品和知識的儲藏室？",
"曾偉煌 我始終認為，知識是人類最大的成就。然而，它們不斷地被歷代政權摧毀，因為他們認為某些部分不符合他們的意識形態。這種情況在世界各地都有發生。",
"但我不想成為種族主義者。我是中國人，所以我可以評論中國。一千年來，每個帝國王朝都旨在摧毀那些與他們的政權不相容的知識和文化。",
"最大的破壞是秦始皇統一中國時的破壞。即使到今天，中國文化大革命也進一步摧毀了傳統中國的東西。",
"我們在阿富汗、敘利亞，甚至在澳洲都看到了這種情況。",
"澳洲社會有很大一部分人熱愛真理、知識和公平。",
"澳洲目前政治上非常穩定。國家地理穩定，沒有地震和火山。濕度低，天氣穩定。",
"綜上所述，這是一個適合存放在所在國有風險的文物和知識的國家。對澳洲的好處是，全世界都會來看，帶來旅遊。",
"只有在徵得傳統主人的同意後，才會在這裏保存文物。",
"WN 你是否知道維基媒體的GLAM（Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museum，畫廊、圖書館、檔案館和博物館）外展項目？你是否期待為互惠互利的外展項目提供便利？你將如何促進這個項目？",
"曾偉煌 我現在才知道。我明白甚麼是GLAM。我覺得它可以作為一個很好的文化、藝術品的保存，而維基百科是為了保存知識。我以後會研究一下。",
"WN 在你看來，甚麼更重要？少數民族在議會中的代表權還是少數民族公民得到一個平台來表達他們的需求和不滿？為甚麼這麼說？你有甚麼計劃來實現這一目標？",
"曾偉煌 這就是澳洲的民主。市政府在每次選舉後都會更換。某些政府可能是親少數派的，有些可能不是。有些政府可能有很好的少數派代表，有些可能沒有。",
"因此，重要的是要有一個平台，讓少數族裔有能力發佈他們的需求和討論他們的偏好。法律規定，如果知道了問題，就需要由政府來解決。",
"因此，理想的情況是，我們在政府中既有良好的少數族裔代表，又有支持他們的平台。但前者無法保證。",
"WN 您為甚麼要創辦eTranslate？它向三級政府提供甚麼類型的建議？",
"曾偉煌 eTranslate有兩個部門，一個是技術部門，其重點是使技術能夠支持多文化用戶的需要和多語言內容。",
"另一個是多文化交流服務。這就像公共關係服務一樣，但重點是種族群體。因此，我們的團隊為政府提供這種多元文化公關服務。我們為政府客戶提供語言資源、文化專業知識和民族媒體渠道，讓他們與少數民族選民互動。",
"所以我們與各級政府合作。",
"WN 少數民族在墨爾本面臨的問題有哪些？",
"曾偉煌 由於生育率低，澳洲不得不不斷增加移民以增加人口。因此，澳洲有各種各樣的少數族裔群體，事實上有80多個。與其他經濟合作與發展組織（OECD）國家相比，澳洲對少數民族的待遇不錯。但是，當你有這麼多的群體爭奪政府的優先權時，很難找到一個平衡點。",
"大多數情況下，較大的少數群體獲得了更多的資源。這就是為甚麼我的參與式民主平台有助於確保所有少數群體的需求得到識別和解決，因此精準政策。",
"WN 墨爾本和維多利亞州的居民中有多少比例是土著人？",
"曾偉煌 墨爾本0.5%，維多利亞1.6%。",
"WN 與其他州相比，墨爾本和維多利亞州的土著人口非常少。為甚麼呢？如果墨爾本市的土著居民人數不足，將墨爾本作為土著居民的首都是否合理？",
"曾偉煌 土著人民的分佈取決於很多因素。這些又是由於歷史原因造成的，我們可以永遠說下去。全國有幾十個土著部落。可悲的是，有些人在上個世紀被獵殺至滅絕，特別是在塔斯馬尼亞。",
"將一個地點作為第一民族的首都將是象徵性的，而不是完全載入法律。理想情況下，最好是在達爾文市。但除非我是那裏的市長，否則可能不會發生。",
"所以在墨爾本有它確實允許一些象徵性的，並為不同的部落提供一個聚集和公開討論的論壇。",
"如果其他城市允許，「首都」可以定期從一個城市輪換到另一個城市。但最終還是要由長老們來批准。",
"WN 您設想在您的領導下，到2025年墨爾本會是甚麼樣子？",
"曾偉煌 每個市長的任期是4年，最遲要到2024年。現實中，墨爾本和澳洲作為一個更小的經濟體，需要更長的時間才能從COVID-19中恢復過來。",
"因此，從實際出發，我們希望墨爾本市能在2024-25年達到以下目標：",
"WN 如果當選，對你來說，甚麼才是一個成功的市長（職位）？",
"曾偉煌 我認為構成一個成功的市長職位的是",
"曾偉煌還分享了他對社會成員之間如何合作的各種見解。",
"曾偉煌 我只想總結一下。",
"從10歲開始，我就看螞蟻如何合作。我問我們人類如何進一步合作。在學校裏，我很欣賞競爭帶來的創造力，但我也相信合作不僅能帶來創造力，還能帶來責任感、責任感和誠信。但我也相信，合作不僅能保證創造力，還能保證責任感、責任心、誠信和生產力。",
"當我在大學時，我的計算機研究集中在協作計算上。我的研究生研究是關於軟件全球化，同樣是全球協作。",
"我的公司e思達的真正目的是使公司能夠走向世界，同時在澳洲協助所有少數族裔羣體進行合作並和諧共存。",
"在政治方面，我試圖找到一個我們可以達成共識的解決方案。它不一定是左派或右派，黑或白。民主是一個經久不衰的制度，但只說多數人的規則已經不能接受。這讓我想到了參與式民主或民主2.0。",
"曾經可以這樣說，我的人生經歷真的讓我走向了參與式民主或民主2.0。",
"曾偉煌 民主2.0：",
"我在做演講的時候，總是說如果現在有一個火星殖民地，你會喜歡甚麼樣的政治制度或政府。獨裁主義、共產主義、法西斯主義、君主制還是民主制？",
"如果是民主制，你是希望被擠到左派還是右派，或者只有多數人統治？或者可能你想要一個集體的政府，每個人的需求都能得到解決。所以這就是參與式民主。現在，如果那是未來，我們為甚麼不在今天朝着這個方向發展呢？",
"我制定了一個指數來衡量一個國家採用參與式民主的程度。我在未來的專題中分享。",
"曾偉煌 社會主義1.0：",
"在發展參與式民主模式的同時，我看到許多機構都有完善的流程，有些機構已經成熟到像一輛汽車的程度。汽車的模型、功能和整體屬性都已經成熟了。",
"想像一下，我們把一個機構的所有屬性，無論是衞生系統、醫院、學校還是教育部門，都放在一個瓶子裏。我們可以把這個部署到其他還沒有這樣成熟設置的國家。",
"現在想像一下，我們在瓶子裏裝了一個成熟的社區或城市，這可以部署到沙漠中的新城市或新的定居地。",
"現在想像一下，經過交換和進一步發展這些設置。最終，就像一輛已經相當成熟的汽車一樣，我們有了一個幾乎被普遍接受的城市或社會的設置或定義。我稱之為社會主義1.0。",
"民主2.0可導致社會主義1.0。正在進行的關於如何治理社會的辯論將導致普遍商定的社會形態、設置或定義。",
"在疫情期間，不同的醫療中心合作開發和試驗不同的候選疫苗的能力表明，有必要將診所、醫院甚至衞生部的設置標準化。那些兼容的、成熟的，就會有進一步的進展。",
"要沉澱一下。",
"曾偉煌 集體主義1.0：",
"合作和集體主義如果結構合理或模式化，可以成為人類成就的下一個BIG步驟。",
"我們看到學生之間的合作。比方說，這有一個4的生產力系數（其中，1是指自己工作的人）",
"我們看到不同團隊的合作，每個團隊都專注於問題的一部分。這具有16的生產率系數。",
"然而如果有一個定義明確的社區協作指南，高數量的參與者可以探索一個問題的所有不同排列組合，那麼生產力系數可以達到256。再加上計算能力。我們談論的是65,536的系數。這將擴大人類的成就。",
"回到我小時候的觀察，在創造力和生產力中，數字確實很重要。",
"聖杯就是找到那個神奇的合作模式。"
