Snowden, Manning 'not whistleblowers', claims Australia's Attorney-General
news Australia's Federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has made an extraordinary public statement that former CIA and NSA operative Edward Snowden and accused WikiLeaks collaborator Bradley Manning are not technically "whistleblowers", claiming that the information they had released publicly related to no wrongdoing by government agencies.
Snowden shot to international fame in May 2013, after the NSA contractor collaborated with newspapers such as The Guardian to reveal a series of controversial US spy programs operated by agencies such as the National Security Agency, including direct access to data held by US technology giants such as Apple, Microsoft and Google . The US Government has charged Snowden with espionage and theft of government property, but much of the international community, and even respected US politicians such as former President Jimmy Carter, have applauded his actions as both patriotic and also serving humanity. In addition, a number of legal challenges have already been mounted to the legitimacy of the spying programs in the US.
For his part, Manning was recently convicted of a number of crimes relating to his work with WikiLeaks to release a massive amount of information from the US Government military, including US diplomatic cables and military reports that exposed many controversial military operations, including video of uS military officers wrongfully firing on journalists in Iraq. Manning's release of the documents has also been controversial, but has been praised similarly as Snowden's actions, and the release of the documents has been credited with helping to stimulate moves towards democracy and increased transparency in the Middle East.
Australia's own Federal Parliament recently pushed through new uniform national whistleblower laws, which would protect public servants when they released information on wrongdoing in government.
However, speaking at the Security in Government conference in Canberra yesterday, Australia's Federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus rejected the claim that either Snowden or Manning could be technically classified as "whistleblowers", despite being widely regarded by the global public as several of the most significant whistleblowers of the modern era.
"Some people have suggested that all of the disclosures by Mr Snowden and Mr Manning were some kind of 'whistleblowing'. Where an activity has been authorised under law and overseen by appropriate Government bodies and where no wrongdoing has been identified, the disclosure of information is not 'whistleblowing'," Dreyfus told the conference. "This is a critical point that is often overlooked in much of the media coverage of the release of classified information by Mr Snowden in particular." The full speech is available for download here in PDF format.
Dreyfus said, given the "close relationship" between the US and Australia, he was "particularly concerned to ensure that those disclosures do not cause long- lasting harm to Australia's ability to identify and respond to the many threats that our nation faces".
The Australian Government has come under intense pressure over the past several years for what many in the wider community have seen as its draconian approach to intelligence-gathering activities.
In late June, for example, Dreyfus admitted that the Government had "shelved" its plans to impose a mandatory data retention regime that would have seen key data about all Australian telecommunications maintained for access by law enforcement agencies. The backdown was undertaken after widespread outrage by the public on the issue, as it would store extensive data about Australians who had committed no crime.
However, at the conference this week, Dreyfus extensively defended the intelligence-gathering activities of the Government.
"Australian intelligence agencies have made a significant contribution to our safety by constant and careful assessment of possible threats," he said. "At least four planned terrorist attacks designed to achieve mass casualties on Australian soil have been thwarted by agencies since 11 September 2001. Our intelligence work contributed to the arrest of over 20 terrorists. Intercepted information has played an important role in recent counter-terrorism prosecutions and in preventing planned terrorist attacks."
"The collection of intelligence is not only essential to protecting our national security in the traditional sense that I have just described. Intelligence gathering is also essential to protecting the Australian community from serious and organised crime. The Australian Crime Commission's report Organised Crime in Australia 2013, released at the end of July, noted that the rapid development of technology, and the increasing availability of that technology throughout the world, has significantly increased the reach of organised crime."
Dreyfus also acknowledged the importance of Australians' privacy, but said at a conceptual level, the concepts of security and privacy were not contradictory.
"For this fundamental reason, everything Australia does to combat terrorism, to combat violent extremism, to counter espionage and to promote and uphold a safe and peaceful country is carried out in accordance with the rule of law," the Attorney-General said. "Everything our intelligence and law enforcement agencies do, is done to ensure that Australia remains a free, open and democratic society. The legal and oversight arrangements of all Australian Government agencies should reassure all Australians that the privacy of their communications is appropriately protected."
Dreyfus went on to outline the safeguards which he said strictly controlled access by Australian law enforcement and intelligence agencies to data collected through telecommunications interception, as well as the limitations on how that information can be shared with Australia's international partners.
And he also fit in a jab at the Coalition.
"I have been struck by the silence of our political opponents on what they would do in the national security area if they got the chance," the Labor MP said. "At the 2010 election the Opposition were virtually silent on national security issues. Their current policy pamphlet does have a section on counter-terrorism but it consists of only one sentence, which does not give us or the Australian public much to assess. I assume from the virtual silence from the Opposition that they approve of the Government's current policy settings, and the resourcing of our national security agencies."
"Wild claims"
Dreyfus's comments spurred an immediate reaction from several other political parties. In a statement issued overnight, Greens Communications Spokesperson Scott Ludlam, who has often been critical of the Attorney-General's Department over interception issues, said the claim by Dreyfus that Snowden and Manning were not whistleblowers "beggars belief".
"If the Attorney-General believes, as he stated today, that the operation of the [NSA] PRISM surveillance system does not constitute 'wrongdoing' – then it bodes badly for Australia. If the Attorney-General believes Bradley Manning did not reveal 'wrongdoing', then what does it take before someone is permitted to blow the whistle?" asked Ludlam.
"Labor's pursuit – with the full support of the Coalition – of greater powers to spy on Australians is a genuine threat to our civil liberties. Mr Dreyfus points out that just over 2000 convictions were achieved in 2011-12 based on evidence from telecommunications interceptions, while failing to mention that in that year law enforcement agencies – not including ASIO – made 293,501 requests for telecommunications data, without a warrant or any judicial oversight. That's almost 300,000 warrantless requests for data, and barely more than 2000 convictions. Yet Labor seeks to increase the power to spy,."
"It is interesting that the Attorney-General says he assumes 'from the virtual silence from the Coalition that they approve of the Federal Labor's current policy settings'. He's quite right – the Coalition and Labor are in lockstep on this, and both marching in a dangerous direction."
A similar statement was issued by the Pirate Party Australia, which is standing for the Federal Election based on a platform of transparency and online digital rights. The Pirate Party described itself as "stunned" by Dreyfus's comments.
"The Attorney-General appears to have forgotten that the 'Collateral Murder' video released by Manning clearly shows US pilots firing on civilians in Iraq," said Brendan Molloy, lead Senate candidate in NSW. "What exactly does Mr Dreyfus mean when he says 'government wrongdoing'? The US President is, as head of government, commander-in-chief of the United States military — is killing civilians not an act of government wrongdoing?"
"Surely covering up mistakes is not the mark of a transparent and competent government that shows respect for the electorate? The secret surveillance programs undertaken by the US National Security Agency do not foster trust between the state and the citizen, and undermines the very fabric of modern democracy."
The Pirate Party noted that it believes that while a certain amount of surveillance is necessary, it should have judicial oversight in the form of a warrant, and should only be targeted at those in the warrant. There is nothing wrong with limited telecommunications interception powers being exercised in this manner, according to the party, but the Australian Government's approach has "been dubious at best".
"Mr Dreyfus mentioned that the disclosures from Manning and Snowden could cause long lasting harm to Australia's ability to identify and respond to threats, but has not provided any evidence for this statement," said Molloy. "We are being force-fed the claim that transparency is a threat to our national security, yet those making such claims fail to rely on anything but the usual rhetoric of terrorism, which they use to keep us in the dark and misinformed. What has changed since we became aware that the United States has been imposing a surveillance regime on all Internet traffic with the complicity of the Australian Government? Nothing."
Pirate Party Australia noted that it protests what it described as the "blatant deception that telecommunications interception powers have been properly exercised", citing the inadvertent censoring of 250,000 websites by ASIC as one example of government overreach. "In the United States, the PRISM program was overseen by a secret court, the opinions of which were not published, keeping the American people completely in the dark. It also seems that the US Congress may have been deliberately misled," the party's statement added.
"Oversight with regard to the exercise of broad censorship and surveillance powers among Australia and its allies is frankly appalling," Molloy said. "Even if the activities were strictly speaking legal, exposing bad laws for what they are, or how they have been misinterpreted and abused is a necessary function of democratic discourse. Existing oversight, despite what the Attorney-General claims, is not good enough, and it is laughable to suggest that the Americans must seek ministerial authorisation before spying on Australians. As the exposure of the PRISM program shows, the United States has a total lack of respect for compliance with any privacy expectations, be they American, Australian or any other country anywhere in the world."

Police seeking a warrant to search a private premises without a reasonable suspicion of (and usually some evidence for) wrongdoing is usually rejected as a fishing exercise. Why does the same burden not apply to telecommunications interception?
Obviously I know why from the perspective of the government and law enforcement – if they had unrestricted access to everything everywhere at any time including installation of CCTV in every home and business, their jobs would be vastly simplified and they could stop just about all crime in the country. But at what cost? Why don't we let them do that, if stopping crime at any cost is the objective?
Maybe because the cost to the public is too great, because we should have the right to privacy from our governments, those who are meant to represent us and manage public infrastructure and works to facilitate our existence. Is the government protecting us from terrorism, or protecting itself from us under the guise of antiterrorism?
There's another perspective that could be taken on protecting the country from terrorismand organised crime – what oprofiling can be done on those convicted of such crimes, and can that be used to exclude people from our society or at least form the basis of targeted surveillance? It seems that the solution to not appearing to target groups based on ethnic, religious or political backgrounds is to simply target everyone.
Wow, I didn't know that the Australian Attorney-General was on the American payroll as well.
Mr. Dreyfus, you and Mr. Holder, and all the rest of your ilk, should get together and start your own little country. Then, you can sit around spying on each other, and attacking each others freedoms in the name of national security. What a bunch of frightened little boys!
"Mr. Dreyfus, you and Mr. Holder, and all the rest of your ilk, should get together and start your own little country. "
Your in it dude.. its called the 51st state of United States of Ausmerica.
Canberra are just US puppets, Washington say JUMP, Canberra's gutless say "yes sir, how high sir"
I agree with many commentators that the imperialist US should GTF out of the countries they have invaded, and I really liked Assange's comment, I think it went along the lines of "the US can have a base in Darwin, when we have a base in Florida" … the US have two bases in Germany, why two? and why does Germany not have a base in the US?, same goes with every other country they stand over and force their way in and try dictate to and out stay their welcome.
Dont get me wrong, I'm not anti-US, I have several yankie mates, who are all lovely people (so WTF they get their pollies from I'll never know) , but even they agree their govt is out of control
Actually, I'm in Rough and Ready, California.
Don't you folks have some croc infested little island we could ship all of these idiots off to, so the rest of us can enjoy our lives?
Hey Nobby6, I've got an idea!
This was my first post outside of my country, and it just dawned on me tonight that this is just the sort of communication that mother NSA claims is the only thing they're watching for.
I've been trying to start an email campaign. In some of my emails I've been posting "trigger words" that the NSA looks for.
Examples: NUCLEAR BOMB, WEAPONISED ANTHRAX, CONSTITUTION, CIVIL LIBERTY, OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, REVOLUTION, TEA PARTY (which I am one of, don't know if you folks have heard of us…), 1ST AMENDMENT, 2ND AMENDMENT, and so on. One of these days I've gotta go find a complete list.
Anyway, after trying to get the attention of these pencil necked keyboard kommandos , I like to add a little personal message at the end, something like- "and for you boys in black who are reading this, I just wanted to tell you, your wife was great in bed, but your daughter needs a little practice…".
I'm assuming that since this is an overseas communication with trigger words, that one of these dipshits is actually checking it out. If enough freedom loving people, worldwide, do the same, we can embarrass these idiots into irrelevance.
I currently live in a country whose federal government has gone completely off the hinges. When I first found out about our SECRET COURT (FISC), I just about went nuts. What any honest democratic state needs of a secret court is completely beyond me. What all this tells me is that this government is positioning itself to try to overthrow our constitution.
There are a lot of Americans who are starting to wake up and take notice. I see their responses to news clips all over the net. That's how I ended up here, on this site.
But I think that what is called for is a worldwide response, a tsunami of freedom loving people who want to tell the United States Federal government just what you really think about Prism, section 215 of the Patriot Act, and their penchant for screwing around in the affairs of other countries.
If you are sympathetic to these views, please spread the word. I'll entertain as many responses of this type that I can through this portal. Overseas responses to US based news clips would work nicely. For that matter, responses to news clips anywhere, I'm betting that one of the things that the NSA database is being screened for now is political content, especially now that Mr. Snowden has blown the lid off of this disgusting situation.
Ya up for it?
This is a legal opinion, not a moral or ethical one. What would you expect from the attorney-general?
I think you're right the comment is cleverly crafted to be legally correct. Its worth noting that the whistleblower legislation that Renai mentions specifically excludes intelligence agencies. So under that legislation, leaks of intelligence activities can never be considered whistleblowing and Dreyfus is therefore quite correct. Perhaps morally bankrupt but legally quite correct.
Its interesting to compare his narrow definition with the much broader scope used by the US Office of Special Council http://www.osc.gov/documents/pubs/post_wb.htm
Above all, I would expect common sense and, of course it's a moral and ethical issue; it can't be separated from the legal opinion. That's one of the massive problems of LAW and why I decided to forego my studies in that area. So, what would I expect form the AG? I'd expect someone who cold stand up for what is right and if needed then oppose what is the 'law' because ethically, the law can be changed, altered, amended in the name of justice and common sense.
@Robert, are you really surpsied? You had a previous AG and former PM say Assange was guilty of everthing in heh Commonwealth Crimes Act, yet ASIO, ASIS, nor the AFP, could find one single Australian law he broke :)
No, I'm not surprised, just pissed off at the idiocy of a country that touts itself as being so upright. One of the reasons that I will be voting for the WikiLeaks party this time around.
You are lucky, if I want to vote for a new party I have the choice of Katter or Palmer.
Then why not be a representative of a third option yourself?
It is a legally correct but morally questionable comment and legal definitions are the AG's prerogative.
The British legal system is inherently flawed.
The Australian system is based on these flaws.
Australian politics is a mess of inbred self-deluded narcissists that serves an oligarchy that most likely doesn't even reside in this country.
Therefore the AG is just another lame puppet in a lame show.
God help us all.
@jasmcd – How scary.
Based on Dreyfus' comments there is no judicial oversight of the warrants for interception of communications. Warrants are issued by "independent issuing authorities, including me as the Attorney General" I do not find this comforting at all.
Similarly collection and retention of intelligence on Australians by our foreign intelligence agencies requires Ministerial permission – no judicial oversight there either.
Even the Parliamentary oversight seems rather pathetic. On the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security the best Dreyfus could say was it "takes seriously its obligations"
Dryfus is also Minister for the Public Service and Integrity. In view of the practices of the Australian Public Service in relation to whistleblowing and the attempts by the Public Service Commission to wedge leakers and the views of Dryfus it is clear where this are going.
Essentially they want people to shut up. It's all about compliance http://ozloop.org/profiles/blogs/australian-public-service-commission-compliance-model-exposed

Messages by the international hacking group Anonymous went up on a number of Chinese government websites on Thursday to protest internet restrictions.
On a Twitter account established in late March, Anonymous China listed the websites it said it had hacked over the last several days. They included government bureaus in several Chinese cities, including in Chengdu, a provincial capital in southwest China.
Some of the sites were still blocked on Thursday, with English-language messages shown on how to circumvent government restrictions. In a message left on one of the hacked Chinese sites, cdcbd.gov.cn, a home page for Chengdu's business district, the hackers expressed anger with the Chinese government for restrictions placed on the internet.
"Dear Chinese government, you are not infallible, today websites are hacked, tomorrow it will be your vile regime that will fall," the message read. "So expect us because we do not forgive, never. What you are doing today to your Great People, tomorrow will be inflicted to you," one of the messages read.
Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan, reporting from Hong Kong, said that the attack was interesting because Anonymous had mostly previously stayed away from attacking Chinese websites.
"This is just (Anonymous') second attack (on Chinese websites)," Chan said. "The first one a few months ago had been a corporate attack against a Chinese company and it had exposed corporate fraud. This time, of course, the message was more general about online censorship in China."
Chan also pointed out the attacks did not target national websites, but smaller sites for government bureaus and minor cities.
"The other interesting thing is that the messages they left were left in English, so then that begs the question of whether they wanted to try to reach out to the Chinese public or not," Chan said.
Some websites that Anonymous said it attacked were working Thursday, and government officials denied the sites were ever hacked.

The ride is meant for taking in the beautiful sights of this Miami landmark, so all of you speed demons should sit this one out (Lance, this means you!).

Would you wear a coat made of rat fur?
Asked at Hy-Vee, 3504 W. Clinton Parkway on April 28, 2010
"No, some of my best friends are rats."
"Ooh, the thought of it just makes me cringe, NO!"
"Would not, positively no, not ever, thank you very much. … Maybe rabbit."
"No. … It's gross."

No, I'd rather wear one made by child slaves in China.
Danielle Brunin 5 years, 3 months ago
Thanks TOB. I can't speak as to the taste, but rat meat looks just like chicken based on high school biology. Male rats get a musk and greasy streak down their backs, just like minks. That should probably be taken into consideration before coats are made out of them.

I probably wouldn't but my friend Bob Sacamano would.

LadyJ 5 years, 3 months ago
"Does beaver taste like chicken or fish?" Now when I made an innocent remark (I thought) on the Ferral Hog blog the other day, people were quick to point out it could be taken another, not so innocent, way. I took some good natured teasing over that one, all in fun of course. So I can't believe you let consumer1 sneak by on this one, you guys are slipping.
denak 5 years, 3 months ago
Ewwww, no. I have had rats as pets and they are hands done some of the best animals to have as pets. They are friendly, highly intelligent and rarely if ever bite. They are very people oriented so if you have a child who wants a pet they can play with a lot, get a rat. They (the child and the rat) wil have a lot of fun together.
LadyJ 5 years, 3 months ago
OK, that guy is just scary looking.
somedude20 5 years, 3 months ago
I found a story on this whole rat coat thing. "These 20-lb. river-dwelling rats are the latest in line to die in the name of fashion: Apparently designers dig their "badass" fur. (TheFrisky)"
btw, Bob Dylan looks like a 150lbs rat

Mr. Rat Man Hey! Mr. Rat Man, can I make a coat from you I'm not warm and there is no heat where I'm going to Hey! Mr. Rat Man, I'm making a coat from you In the cold winter morning I'll come cut you Though I know that you're a big rat my my scissors are quite sharp The parts I don't use can be made into a rug Your hairiness amazes me, I'm knocked off my feet I have no coat to meet And the fur you have is great and your face is not meant for dreaming

Rats are cute and squeaky...
LadyJ 5 years, 3 months ago
So I go looking for funny or cute rat pictures and go to this website for cute pictures of rats. Now I just can't decide if the advertising was intentional or if it just ended up that way.
Boston_Corbett 5 years, 3 months ago
Rat coat? Coyote coat? Both better than a dog coat....Woof, woof.
I'm beginning to like this Texas governornator... He wants to protect dogs from low life varmints. Woof, Woof.
Texas Gov. Perry fatally shoots coyote
By Associated Press Wednesday, April 28, 2010
AUSTIN -- Pistol-packing Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don't mess with my dog.
Perry (R) told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he needed just one shot from the laser-sighted pistol he sometimes carries while jogging to take down a coyote that menaced his puppy during a February run near Austin.
Perry said he carries his .380 Ruger -- loaded with hollow-point bullets -- when jogging on trails because he is afraid of snakes. But when a coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter's Labrador retriever, Perry charged..........

Better double check that fur the hubby gave you.
LIO was bred— the first rat of the colour I termed "lilac". He was a capped with too much colour, but that colour which started out looking rather like Mink, turned into a lighter bluer shade. His children, when bred back to a Pastel doe, were also self (non-agouti) rather than agouti, and some were even more lilac-y, developing a lovely pink tinge when adult.
Critiques from the shows were directed at the minkish colour they appeared to be— they got short shrift as poor minks but I remained unconvinced; if the appearance was deceptive, I knew that genetically they were not mink and not cinnamon, they were something different. I kept Blue Vinney firmly in mind. If the "lilacs" looked Mink, the "lilac" pastel agoutis were definitely more of a difference from Cinnamon.

Enterprise software provider ISIS Papyrus Software announced it has been named a Strong Performer in "The Forrester Wave™: Dynamic Case Management, Q1 2014," published March 28 to help enterprise architects select the right solution to support launching and scaling enterprisewide DCM.
Overall, Forrester found that advancing DCM products offer more to businesses, implementers and end users. Highlighting two new emerging adaptive features that will help enterprises tackle increasing volumes of varied and unstructured work, Forrester Research, Inc. evaluated 13 software vendors across 38 criteria. Forrester identifies and defines the two adaptive capabilities as key differentiators in the DCM market as:
- Design Time case management emphasizes control over highly repeatable processes
- Runtime case management supports use cases where the ultimate paths are highly variable
In the evaluation of DCM vendors, ISIS Papyrus received a Strong Performer positioning in each of three Wave evaluations for Overall Capabilities, Design Time Capabilities and Runtime Capabilities, based on its scores in Current Offering and Strategy.
"ISIS Papyrus drives adaptive innovation in the DCM market. … It is a
Strong Performer overall but a standout Leader in the runtime tool
-- The Forrester Wave™: Dynamic Case Management, Q1 2014
Profiling Papyrus as "a powerful development platform that can be targeted at a number of process problems," the 2014 Wave report for DCM cited ISIS Papyrus for:
- Flexibility of its platform for runtime behavior
- Emphasis on business terminology and goal orientation
- Patent for a user-trained agent (UTA)
- Capability that provides recommendations and training based on the latest knowledge gained in case handling
"The model-driven foundation of the ISIS Papyrus Platform provides a powerful environment to address the business needs of today's customer-focused enterprises by using an adaptive, goal-driven process approach," said Max Pucher, CTO of ISIS Papyrus. "It enables the business to finely balance process control versus flexibility for its different levels of skill sets, from the clerk to the decision maker. Strategically, it enables organizations to deliver excellence in customer service operations and improve the customer experience. As we started the ACM process revolution in 2009, it is now very positive to be recognized as a strong performer and for our innovation in the DCM market."
ISIS Papyrus was recently named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Document Output for Customer Communications Management, Q1 2014.
"Creating communications with tightly integrated content and process is a key priority in the enterprise, and we continue to demonstrate strong capabilities in the each of the core components of fully functional enterprise DCM/ACM systems," said Annemarie Pucher, CEO of ISIS Papyrus. "The Papyrus DCM offering brings modern case management full circle to ensure the business experts are utilizing the right knowledge in the right places to reach the right customers based on goals and effective collaboration."
The Papyrus Business Communications and Process Platform empowers enterprise business users and knowledge workers to optimize and align processes, tasks, communications and documents in service-based organizations.
Customers and guests are invited to see the latest Papyrus technology through interactive presentations, guest speakers and demonstrations at the 2014 ISIS Papyrus Open House and User Conference events in Europe and North America starting in May 2014.
Global software innovator ISIS Papyrus offers a model-driven platform for fully integrated inbound and outbound communications, personalization and process optimization in customer-focused environments in the financial, insurance, utility, telecom, healthcare and public sectors. Knowledge-driven case management applications using ISIS Papyrus standard software can enable customer claims management, contract management, financial account management, purchase-to-pay and fraud investigations, among others.

Recent reviews:
April 17, 2015 - I absolutely love these. Its so hard to find a nice pair of cotton shorts like this. The fabric is heavyweight compared to the usual ones in the local big stores. And they are long enough to be ok for an old lady to wear. Definitely recommend for all ages. Sizing is spot on.
May 20, 2014 - The emblem on the shorts is PERFECT. However, I am 5'2", typically wear a 13 in junior sizes, and while these shorts fit GREAT in the waist, the legs are HUGE IN WIDTH by almost 2 inches!! BUT, I am going to have them taken in by my seamstress because they are just so comfortable and cute.
December 21, 2013 - Very comfortable to wear! I use them as sleep shorts!
October 21, 2013 - These shorts I love! They are the perfect length and comfortable.
July 31, 2013 - Really like these shorts and got lots of compliments. Do tend to run on smaller size, so I was glad I sized up one.
Artisan: Aarong / BRAC
When you're a woman living in rural Bangladesh, your employment options are limited. In 1978 Aarong-BRAC stepped up to fill that gap. With a mission to be the best in the world in providing a unique Bangladeshi lifestyle experience, to empower people, and to promote Bangladesh while protecting the environment, their very name means "village fair." From those humble beginnings, Aarong/BRAC has grown into an cooperative that supports more than 65,000 artisans in 13 production centers and 647 sub-centers throughout 2,000 villages in Bangladesh. Offering more than mere jobs, they offer a future, one with skills training, medical benefits, day care center, and retirement benefits.
Established 1992 in Narayongonj, Bangladesh as one of Aarrong's production centers, Minar Ind. is a full-range apparel center. They knit, dye, assemble, and print all of their apparel on site, and will soon begin spinning their own cotton thread. They currently employ approximately 2,000 high and semi-skilled workers and have been certified by the Business Social Compliance Initiative, highlighting their commitment to bettering the wellbeing of their workers.
Minar Ind. training includes not only machine operation skills, but also quality control, first aid, fire prevention, and machine maintenance. A full health check-up and AIDS prevention and awareness are included as part of the training. While working, artisans have the benefit of a doctor and assistant with first aid stations on every floor, where signs of illness are treated immediately and any necessary medicine provided. They also receive mandatory rest periods, access to fresh water, a dining room, a day care center, safety equipment such as masks, ear protection, gloves, and boots, and clean, safe, well-lit work spaces.
Minar Ind. hosts an annual picnic for all employees and a organizes a worker participatory committee comprised of a number of employees on each floor who meet to discuss worker demands, legal rights, and dues with the management on a regular basis.

The Green Fayre is the biggest event in the Parks and Countryside events programme and attracts thousands of visitors to Beacon Country Park.
The show is a celebration of the countryside and countryside living, and our Rangers work hard to try and maintain the traditional feel of the show - whilst also ensuring that there is a host of entertainment for all the family.
Where and when?
This year's Green Fayre is being held on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July between 11.00am-5.00pm, at Beacon Country Park in Upholland.
What's there?
Working woodlands and craft demonstrations: the heart of the Green Fayre belongs with its craft and working woodlands displays. There are a variety of different exhibitors and traders showcasing a wide range of traditional crafts and techniques, working natural materials into products and goods that we use in day-to-day life.
Animal displays: there are a huge range of animal displays at the show. There are falconry and dog shows in the arena, owl and birds of prey displays, and even a petting farm allowing you close up experiences of a range of animals. The show is also attended by a range of wildlife and animal welfare charities and organisations.
Historical re-enactment - Living history displays: a big part of our show is the Viking encampment that overlooks Skelmersdale. Visit their tented village and find out more about how day-to-day Viking life used to be, then watch as they bat
Admission is free and tickets are not required.
UPDATE: I went there with the family today - It was a good day out. Lots of stalls and demonstrations.
