User Testimonials
Real-time accounting provides us with critical insight into our business...
We've been using FreeAgent since 2009, and I have to say that it has transformed the way we do business.
Real-time accounting provides us with critical insight into our business which allows us to make fast decisions and ultimately become more dynamic and competitive in the marketplace.
Automatic invoice reminder emails reduce our admin costs chasing debts, while VAT and Payroll processing and filing features save us huge amounts of form filling and re-typing of data.
The flexible API extensions have allowed us to integrate several of our own systems into FreeAgent, further automating processes, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
All this adds up to a very comprehensive system that we use on a daily basis. I am happy to see continued improvements and new features in the system and regularly recommend FreeAgent to my contacts.

Moving to FreeAgent is one of those decisions I wish I'd made sooner.
We are super impressed with FreeAgent. It's saving us hours each month. Invoicing now takes a couple of minutes. Logging expenses is no longer a chore (and means we all get paid quicker). And the graphs and reporting mean we now have a crystal clear understanding of who owes what (and what we owe).
To top it all off, the support has been brilliant - quick, helpful and personal.
Moving to FreeAgent is one of those decisions I wish I'd made sooner.

FreeAgent is one of the few services I gladly pay for and recommend to friends.
As a freelance web designer, I need to spend as much time as I can working with clients and writing code. One thing I don't want to have to think about too much is invoicing and finance. This is where FreeAgent is a god-send. It enables me to create and track invoices with ease, and gives me a clear view of cashflow and tax in one place.
From experience designing web interfaces myself I know most people only think about a user interface when it performs poorly. The FreeAgent user interface however is clean and clear so you don't have to think about using it, which is how it should be. Little touches, such as auto-completion, and linking clients and expenses make the difference. It just works.
I make use of a lot of free open-source software, but FreeAgent is one of the few services I gladly pay for and recommend to friends.

We are still discovering new ways FreeAgent can help us all the time.
As an expanding web design & search engine optimisation firm there's software and tools we use every day that we just cannot live without. FreeAgent is near the top of that list because it saves us time, money and hassle.
Since we started using FreeAgent some amazing things have happened.
Invoicing our clients each month takes 1 hour instead of 1 day. We can create and edit invoices or view a list of debtors, both of which take just minutes to do.
FreeAgent sends out reminder emails to all of our clients both before and after invoices are due. This saves us roughly 1 day a month, helps us get paid on time and the clients really appreciate being reminded an invoice is nearly due so they don't miss out on their prompt payment discounts.
We are still discovering new ways FreeAgent can help us all the time.
We previously tried to bring some of our accounting in house to reduce the cost and hassles involved in using an accounting firm but the overheads and headaches it created made it impractical.
FreeAgent has made this possible and it's ridiculously cheap. We cannot praise their support team enough who amaze us with their speed and knowledge any time we have a question.

The amount of paperwork and lost administration time FreeAgent cuts is incredible
As a small SEO agency, we wanted an accounts package that would let us concentrate on our core business and not have to worry about our accounts, FreeAgent does this and so much more. Having previously kept records using Excel, we love the simplicity of FreeAgent, from the recurring invoice function to be able to submit VAT and TAX returns directly to HMRC. It really does take the pain out of accounting!
Our favourite function is the expense tracking tool that enables team members to be able to upload their own expenses, with receipts, or approval. The amount of paperwork and lost administration time FreeAgent cuts is incredible, and also gives staff confidence their expenses will be returned promptly

FreeAgent stands out like a chocolate truffle in a box full of dry biscuits
As a growing confectionery company, we don't want to spend too much time organising our banking, calculating taxes and sending invoices – we'd rather be out selling tasty treats! So it's vital for us to have an intuitive accounting system behind us, and that's what FreeAgent brings to the table.
Take handling VAT for example. FreeAgent clearly applies the relevant amount of VAT to each eligible transaction you carry out, presents the totals as they would need to be entered on the HMRC site, and then gives you the option of paying there and then using your HMRC login details - without even having to leave FreeAgent!
Invoicing is easy too, with a range of clean and attractive templates that can be quickly and easily updated with the necessary information, and sent out at the touch of a button.
The list of benefits is long, and growing too as they add new features, so all I would say if you're not sure is to give the free trial a go – you've got nothing to lose but a lot to gain.
FreeAgent stands out like a chocolate truffle in a box full of dry biscuits - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Our profitability (and happiness) began to rise
FreeAgent has allowed my web development company to cut administration time in half whilst doubling our profits. FreeAgent makes it painless to keep track of hours, invoice the client and then collect payment from the client.
Our company deals with recurring billing and setting up a recurring invoice is extremely easy with FreeAgent. I first signed up to FreeAgent to deal with yearly website hosting invoices being sent to multiple clients at different times of the year.
In the same time it took to manually create invoices for each of the clients, I had added each of my clients' contact information to FreeAgent, created recurring invoice profiles for each of them and had FreeAgent automatically send off an email with a PDF invoice and a PayPal link. Now I don't even think about those recurring invoices, I just keep getting cheques in the mail and payments via PayPal. It's an absolute blessing.
In addition, we started tracking project profitability in FreeAgent and have found that because the system is so simple to use, our team was motivated to enter in their time, even on smaller items that tend to slip through the cracks but add up overall.
This brought the project's profitability to the forefront, giving us a direct view of the number of non-billable hours and expenses compared with what we were ultimately invoicing. In turn, estimates and invoices became more accurate and our profitability (and happiness) began to rise.
I used to want to keep FreeAgent a secret, thinking it was an advantage to be using it, but some things you can't keep to yourself, they're too good. Now I sing it's praises as much as I sing our own company's praises. Well done FreeAgent Team, you've made a fan over here.
Joshua Pinter | Oxygen Webs
Investing in FreeAgent was the best decision I made all year. Seriously.
What I know about accounting can be written on the back of a matchbox. What's more, with the daily operations of running a growing business taking up so much time and effort, I doubt that knowledge will ever grow.
FreeAgent has taken as much pain out of the accounting side of business as is possible and it's ability to manage the growth of my business has been fantastic. Starting as a Sole Trader, FreeAgent managed my banking, invoicing and self assessment with ease. After incorporating to a Limited company, the transition to managing all the above plus corporation Tax, Expenses and VAT was seamless. Even my accountant uses FreeAgent. Nice.
I cannot recommend FreeAgent enough. If you're like me and want to spend the time running your business actually running the business, then this is for you.

FreeAgent gives you free time to change the world
'It used to be a nightmare' is not an understatement of how difficult managing the spreadsheets used to be, as one of our volunteers would literally spend hours slaving over the accounts.
FreeAgent doesn't only reduce the burden but it makes accounting simple, fun and accessible. Just as importantly, we can allow our volunteers to submit expenses claims themselves, through our own portal, we can write invoices to our partner organisations and monitor the accounts all in one place, all online and all of it secure.
What's more – we've freed up our time to focus on what really matters – continuing to change the world and encouraging young people to take positive action on climate change. With FreeAgent to hand, there's no hassle, no stress and no mess – just an accounting system which continues to innovate and impress.
The UK Youth Climate Coalition is a non-profit organisation which aims to inspire, empower and mobilise young people to take positive action on climate change. They are driven entirely by young volunteers, all of which are under the ages of 25, who are based across the country and supported by FreeAgent's accounting software.

No question, this is the webapp of 2010 for me
Having run my own company for over three years now, I am sad, frustrated and annoyed.
Sad, frustrated and annoyed that I didn't use FreeAgent from day one!
I'm very organised when it comes to my business, but there was one area which did seem to be a little woolly. The accounts. Invoicing and billing were pretty good, but it was the VAT and corporation tax which caused me concern.
Having switched to FreeAgent it has transformed the way I operate. My expenses and mileage logging is now accurate for the very first time, the automation of thank you emails and invoice reminders is great, and as to the tax - perfection.
No question, this is the webapp of 2010 for me.

I feel back in control of my business
Before FreeAgent, our business accounts were a backwater swamp of paper, spreadsheets, haphazard time-tracking and sketchy project awareness. In just a few weeks, FreeAgent had turned it into a slick, well-oiled and organised powerhouse of accurate project and cash flow management.
Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), I actually enjoy managing our accounts now! I feel back in control of my business.
Andy Marshall | Moogaloo
FreeAgent did things I didn't even know I wanted and now cannot live without
When I stumbled upon FreeAgent I didn't really know what I was looking for, I only knew that my previous way of accounting wasn't working, I was getting way behind with everything - invoicing, tracking time, expenses and the rest!
That's when I started using FreeAgent, I quickly found out the FreeAgent did things I didn't even know I wanted and now cannot live without. It's taken all the pain out of managing my business and It's pretty sad to say that I actually enjoying doing my accounts now!

Makes running my business a simpler, more enjoyable, experience
When we started Mojo Media last year, we spent an inordinate amount of time trying out the major accounting software packages, working out how we were going to ensure that our local data was reliably backed up and how on earth we would get that data efficiently to our accountants. It seemed to be a logistical nightmare and a time-sink we couldn't afford.
We'd heard mention of FreeAgent and were amazed to find it was the solution to all of our problems at a very competitive price. Everyone in the team can login and update their hours, upload bills and receipts for expenses, even on the go. Because everything is in FreeAgent and we have hardcopies at the office, the need for complex backup systems is removed. Our accountants are also FreeAgent savvy so there are no spreadsheets flying around in email either.
The bottom line for us, is the time saving. FreeAgent saves us about four hours a week in tedious accounting practices, whilst giving us better quality performance data than we could hope to get from another software package.
With a dedicated team constantly working to add features and functionality, such as automated late-payment reminders and multi-currency invoicing, it becomes even better value for money each month. FreeAgent makes running my business a simpler, more enjoyable, experience and I'd recommend it to everyone.
Katy Bairstow | Mojo Media
It has transformed the admin side of my business
I have been a freelance designer for 3 years now. I'm much more of a designer than a business person, so accounting, estimating and invoicing has never come naturally to me. As a result, it was often overlooked, until I started using FreeAgent.
After a year of use, it has transformed the admin side of my business. I keep on top of estimating, invoicing and accounts, without even really trying. I know when invoices are due to be paid and which ones are overdue at a glance. Uploading of bank statements means it takes me around 30 minutes per month to keep all my accounting up to date. Quick, simple, visual comparisons of accounts month on month are also something that helps a lot, and are something I never had before.
I love that FreeAgent is geared towards small businesses, and I would urge anyone in a similar situation to give it a try.

Since switching to FreeAgent my profits have gone up
Since switching to FreeAgent my profits have gone up and I have the wonderful feeling of knowing my company's exact financial position all the time. I spend maybe one hour per month on the accounts, including invoicing, leaving me lots more time than I used to have for billable client work. My accountant can find the information she needs much faster too, and consequently gives me better advice while charging me less.
Not only is the FreeAgent software first-class, the team behind it are friendly, helpful and quick to respond. In fact they set the standard that all other companies try to live up to.
Andy Stewart | Airblade Software
Simplified my accounts and took the stress away
I set up my business and for 12 months used spreadsheets to keep track of my money, every month I hated doing the accounts and had to keep on asking advice off accountants or Google.
Then I found Freeagent, which simplified my accounts, took the stress away and changed my one day a month into thirty minutes a month. It enabled me to centralise my invoicing, bills, bank accounts and quotes into their cloud system, and rather than my accounts being an admin nightmare I began to enjoy it.
The small price I pay for Freeagent is worth every penny. It even works out our tax and VAT for us, so these don't become a headache. I fully recommend Freeagent for any small business.
Mark Crosby | Blue Cherry
The support is absolutely first class
I used to run a small non-profit organisation, and we did all our bookkeeping through Quickbooks. Not being very money-minded I didn't get on with it very well and used to feel that I spent more time doing my accounts that working on the business - not an ideal situation.
When I started working as a freelance web developer, I knew I needed something more intuitive, that could deal with my invoicing needs but also help me keep on top of my cashflow and tax liabilities without sucking up all my time. FreeAgent fitted that bill and more! It's a real pleasure to use - it doesn't feel like 'bookkeeping' at all - and it really helps me to manage my time and projects as well. And perhaps most importantly of all the support is absolutely first class.
I honestly don't know what I would do without it now!
Mark Perkins | Medium
I pay my accountant less
Before using Freeagent I was slow to send estimates and invoices. My receipts sometimes got lost, expenses forgotten and clients would delay payment.
This is my third financial year using Freeagent which solves these problems. I enjoy updating my accounts myself which means I pay my accountant less. The best part is that I have a clear understanding of how my business is performing.
I have recently started to use some of the service that Freeagent integrates with and I see this saving me even more time. My thanks to the Freeagent team for a great product
Giles Brown | Kyomedia Ltd
Lets me concentrate on the stuff I'm getting paid to do
I wouldn't be able to run my Ltd company without FreeAgent. It takes all of the hassle and complication out of it, and lets me concentrate on the stuff I'm getting paid to do!
Simon Maddox | Sensible Duck Ltd
The cornerstone of my accounting process
I used many invoicing and accounting systems before FreeAgent, all fell by the way-side when I saw how powerful and easy to use the FreeAgent system was. FreeAgent is the cornerstone of my accounting process.
Chris Hough | Natural Ranks
I was a slave to Sage for years
Congratulations on an excellent product. I was a slave to Sage for years (I even had to employ someone 3 days a week specifically to feed that particular monster) and now I reckon I spend 2-3 hours a month on my accounts and have much more useful information provided to me. I almost enjoy it...
Kevin Partner | Scribble It
We would recommend FAC to anyone (in fact we already are!)
Words can't express how impressed we have been with FreeAgentCentral. Although we have only been using it for a total of 7 days, in this time we have imported 5 years worth of accounts, set-up recurring invoices and can, for the first time, track profitability over time.
What has struck us as perhaps the most salient of the benefits, is FAC's overall design and user interface. It is user friendly, intuitive and dare I say it, fun to use.
We would recommend FAC to anyone (in fact we already are!)
Benjamin Dell | Raw Jam Ltd
If you need more than just invoicing and you're in the UK, FreeAgent rocks
As a long time user of Freshbooks (and avid fan) we've always struggled with the rest of our accounting needs; jumping from XL to Quickbooks and even small OSX based apps (Cha Ching!). The balance of ease of use, simple reporting and a standard UK based system that could deal with flat fee VAT has frankly always eluded us. Until we found Free Agent through Twitter!
Within two days, we'd ported all our accounts across and even retrospectively put in this years invoices (to get the VAT up to speed), it was very easy and intuitive. The "transaction explanations" ability to "read my mind" is awesome and makes dealing with incoming recurring payments a dream".
Like I said, I love Freshbooks, but if you need more than just invoicing and you're in the UK, FreeAgent rocks. One of the based online apps, full stop.
Mark Panay | Simple Web
FreeAgent saves us time, money, effort and hassle
I run a web design company. Our accounts are fairly basic, but our understanding of tax is limited to say the least. We examined sage, quickbooks and many hosted packages, but found them confusing and over the top for our needs. Then we tried FreeAgent; FreeAgent saves us time, money, effort and hassle. If you run a similar business, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
FreeAgent is so simple that you can begin using it without any instruction. If you are particularly baffled by anything, the ever present 'help' button provides simple, no-nonsense explanations which will be understood by the least tax-savvy person.
Although there are many features we don't use, FreeAgent gives the impression that the software does everything we need it to and nothing more. The ability to upload bills, import bank statements and work out exactly what we're making and what we owe, at any given moment, is priceless. We don't need to perform any complex calculations. We simply tell FreeAgent what we know and it does all the rest.
The icing on the cake is the ability to provide our accountant with login details. With a minimum amount of fuss or hassle, he can log in and talk to HMRC without any involvement from our end.
I used to hate the word 'accounting' with a passion. Now, I'm actually looking forward to this years accounts. There's something incredibly satisfying about breezing through something which was once so difficult!
Mat Durham | Skyblu Web Design
FreeAgent is so easy to use, it's just a great tool
I love using FreeAgent to keep track of my business! As a new business owner I was overwhelmed with how to keep track of my customers, my expenses, my invoices, and all the things you have to track as a business owner. When looking for an accounting software package, most were overpriced and hard to use. I was so frustrated and ready to give up. Then a colleague suggested FreeAgent. After a quick look at the product, I signed up. It took me less than 20 minutes to setup my business and start using FreeAgent! Anytime I have had a question, the company has been very responsive. FreeAgent is so easy to use, it's just a great tool.
Now when a customer calls me and wants to know how much consulting time they have left, I can login and tell them right away. My clients love the invoices I send them and how much detail I can give them on projects I am working on for them. It is great having all my business information at my fingertips on the web. I totally suggest that business owners use this tool!
Suzanne Watts | PTAC Helper
It has saved me so much time and allows me to see an accurate picture of my business instantly
I have been running two businesses through FreeAgent for several months now and I just wanted to write and say how good the application is. It has saved me so much time and allows me to see an accurate picture of my business instantly. Unlike my previous software, I actually enjoy using it.
Richard Allum | ParaPlan Plus
a benchmark standard in your customer support that other companies could learn a lot from
Also I just wanted to say thanks for your excellent customer support - I have been very impressed with both the promptness, friendliness and responsiveness of the service you provide every time I have had cause to need help or an answer on FAC. Get Satisfaction is a great tool, but to really work well it needs great people running it - which FreeAgent obviously has. I would probably go so far as to say you set a benchmark standard in your customer support that other companies could learn a lot from. Keep it up!.
Fantastic functionality in a truly beautiful interface
We're a design agency, and none of us are natural bookkeepers but we knew we needed better handling of our invoicing, cashflow and tax returns. We tried out a couple of desktop packages, but they were confusing, felt wrong, or didn't work cross-platform. Freshbooks looked promising, but when I saw FreeAgent I knew this was the right tool for us. Fantastic functionality in a truly beautiful interface. As a user I'm never struggling with it, it seems to have been designed by observing what real people need to do and how they do it. I'm almost enjoying getting on top of the company finances.
Christopher Marsh | 72 Dots
It's the only program genuinely better than pen and paper
I needed a simple system that I could quickly update allowing me to keep as much time as possible for drumming up new business and income. This is it. FreeAgent tells me when invoices are overdue and keeps everything financial accessible with one or two clicks. Almost everything is done automatically. And although most users seem to be connected with IT, I'm in the construction industry and have found it to be the perfect tool.
In my opinion, it's the only program genuinely better than pen and paper. Since starting to use FreeAgent I don't dread dealing with my business' finances. The guys behind it deserve all the success they get. They offer great support and constantly strive to improve.
Tom Creed | T-Lec Ltd
Our cash flow has been significantly improved
As a small design partnership doing our own book-keeping, it was vital I found an accounting package that would save us time and look good - both to us as users, and to our clients receiving invoices. After battling with a couple different trials of desktop applications, I wasn't sure I was ever going to find this - they were either based on totally unintuitive and downright ugly user interfaces or just full of bugs and shortcomings.
Discovering FreeAgent was like a breath of fresh air, it is so easy invoicing for our time now - our cash flow has been significantly improved. We get invoices sent out regularly, and thanks to the timeslip management feature we never forget to bill for an item or hour like we had done in the past. It has an intuitive and beautifully designed interface and within the wealth of functionality are some real gems, like being able to import bank statements and rebill them to a project or attach invoices, design invoices using HTML and CSS and auto-generate profit and loss accounts. I used to dread doing our book-keeping, but now I actually enjoy it!
Emily Heath | Whitespace Design
I wholeheartedly recommend FreeAgent
When I made the decision to take more responsibility for my finances I needed a tool for the job, my criteria was straight forward: I need an application that makes accountancy simple for me. I found a few contenders but after I took my first look at FreeAgent I was really impressed and my decision was made shortly after starting the free trial period.
It's helped me to organise my tax return with the minimum of hassle, especially as it was the first time I'd done this for myself. I am now able to keep on top of my expenses, travel, banking, invoicing all in one place. Not to mention the timesheets for my contracting.
The insight into the user experience shines through on every page, an intuitive interface with comprehensive help available close to hand with a reply to a personal query in a timely manner. I wholeheartedly recommend FreeAgent to friends and acquaintances.
Drew Jones | Andij.com
It's made me feel smart, not stupid, about my company's finances
FreeAgent is the financial management app that I'd almost given up waiting for. At last someone's had the balls, skill and accounting insight to build an online app that makes it really simple to handle my business's finances.
Yeah, I know, a big part of running a business is about managing finances, but I'm too busy selling, working with customers, travelling, trying to think of new ideas and keeping up with umpteen other things in my business to obsess over the finances. Yet, of course, I worry about my finances, and FreeAgent has given me back a complete sense of control over this neglected part of my business.
It's made me feel smart, not stupid, about my company's finances. I can pull up quick dashboard reports of my cashflow, generate VAT returns in minutes, not hours, and see exactly how much tax I should be expecting to pay this year.
Guy Dickinson | Participo
It's revolutionized how I manage my billing.
I'd been looking for a tool that allowed me to keep track of my workload for some time, so when I got the opportunity to try out FreeAgent I jumped at the chance. The interface is simple and intuitive to use, the time-tracking system helps me track every second spent on projects and invoicing has become a breeze. It's revolutionized how I manage my billing.
I would recommend FreeAgent to any freelancer who wants to spend less time cursing spreadsheets and more time doing what they do best!
Emma Young | Arkose Design Ltd
I give my highest recommendation to any other small businesses to give it a go
I run a software development company based in the UK and I used to hate the pack of Excel spreadsheets that we had to prepare for our accountant each month. We sell around the world and so need an accounting package that can handle lots of accounts without lots of headaches. I found FreeAgent in October 2007 and it instantly brought direction and control to our finances (and removed almost all the stress)!
Instead of taking days we spend a few minutes to upload our bank statements, describe the transactions and let FreeAgent take care of the rest.
We can immediately check our position and forecast with no effort and sort out VAT, Corporation tax, PAYE and Income Tax without breaking a sweat. We know what we owe and we know what we're making. We don't need to know what rate to use for an item or how to calculate some arcane accounting calculation; FreeAgent knows it all and better than any book keeper; it does its job instantly and shows its workings.
The FreeAgent team are professional, polite and quick to provide support and implement new features.
If you are a sole trader or small business, there is no better solution available than FreeAgent and I give my highest recommendation to any other small businesses to give it a go. Once you've tried it you won't go back to using anything else.
Mike Wilson | Evolved Software Studios Ltd
The ability to see your business' vitals laid out clearly and concisely is priceless
Hats off to the FreeAgent team for doing a fantastic job creating all the tools I need to run my small business.
The ability to see your business' vitals laid out clearly and concisely is priceless. Financial decisions are much easier to make around here now.

For small businesses operating from remote locations – I strongly recommend this solution
I have been using FreeAgent for 5 months now, and we are 3 directors of a software reseller company, all working from different locations.
FreeAgent is great due to it being a hosted solution, we can enter invoices, expenses, check our bank position etc from any location and suits us down to the ground due to our operating from numerous locations. All backed up every day, no hassles, a great easy to use product.
For small businesses operating from remote locations – I strongly recommend this solution – very easy to use – sorts out your VAT and Corporation tax, gives you an up to date financial position – what more could you ask for?
Steve Thorns | 3Soft Limited
My main reason for recommending FreeAgent is the responsiveness of the guys who make it
We're a web design company based in central London, and we use FreeAgent for a lot of our admin. My main reason for recommending FreeAgent is the responsiveness of the guys who make it. It's not uncommon to mention a problem you're having one week, and find it fixed the next. FreeAgent has really come a long way since we started using it, and that's mainly because the team are using the feedback they get to improve it. As a result, we're finding more and more bits of admin we can hand over to FreeAgent so that we can get on with making quality websites.

There are growing calls for a national inquiry with royal commission powers into religious organisations, as more allegations emerge about the Catholic Church's handling of child sexual abuse claims relating to its priests in Victoria.
A parliamentary committee in Victoria has until April 30 to report on the handling of abuse claims by religious and other organisations, and will begin public hearings today.
While there is broad support for the review, there have also been calls for it to be just the first step in a national inquiry, along with criticism of the Victorian government for not establishing an inquiry with royal commission powers. The Australian Lawyers Alliance told the Victorian committee the inquiry should be a national one as "abuse does not stop at state boundaries".
Other state and territory attorneys-general are watching the Victorian inquiry closely, and some have come out in support of a national one.
Tasmanian Attorney-General
This was backed by West Australian Attorney-General
South Australian Attorney-General
But there is disagreement about whether a broader inquiry would be better conducted at the federal or state level.
Federal Attorney-General
But Tasmania's Mr Wightman argued that the institutions being examined operated in several jurisdictions and he would "not support a plethora of enquiries in each state and territory".
"A Senate inquiry similar to the recent inquiry into forced adoptions would be best way forward, but that is a matter for the Commonwealth Parliament," he said.
A major development of the Victorian inquiry has been a recent submission by Victoria Police, which detailed how the Catholic Church preferred to handle allegations of child abuse through secret internal processes, failed to properly co-operate with police and at times "alerted the alleged offender to a police investigation". It also noted the church's approach to the issue had improved in recent years.
Chief Commissioner of Police
WA's Mr Mischin said he "would emphasise that any allegations of criminal activity should be reported directly to the WA Police".
Different states have different legislative approaches to the extent to which individuals can themselves be found guilty of a crime for not reporting serious criminal activity. This has become a particular focus in NSW, where senior Catholic Church figures have been accused of failing to report allegations of abuse.
NSW Attorney-General
She also said Mr Smith "is committed to helping victims and bringing perpetrators to justice" and that the government was following the Victorian inquiry closely and would consider the outcomes of it "to determine what NSW can learn from it".
Queensland Attorney-General

Today Google launched the beta for their new "Google Web Designer" app:
I haven't had much time to play around with the features yet, but the CSS3 animation engine is pretty impressive. It feels a bit strange trying to create animations through a UI instead of with raw code, but the idea seems promising to say the least (the interface reminds me of Flash).
I figured users here on the marketplaces might be interested in downloading the app so thought I'd post a link.
There's also Adobe Edge for creating CSS animations, but this google tool looks amazing. It was/is a matter of time before these tools show(ed) up.
For some reason CSS animation 'feels' better when doing it coding style at the moment – but again it could be a matter of time before tools like this become standard like flash was one day
ps: Just found out i can't use the Google tool on my snow leopard machine. It requires at least version 10.7 ( lion ), bommer….
For some reason CSS animation 'feels' better when doing it coding style at the moment – but again it could be a matter of time before tools like this become standard like flash was one day
Agreed. Google's app has both a "code view" and "design view" available, so developers can edit the markup if needed—the process feels unnatural to me, it would definitely take some getting used to.
I think there will be a need for people who can write HTML/CSS by hand for a long time yet, but I can see a tool like this being attractive to people who don't want to spend a lot of money on a website (ie. ThemeForest customers) if the templating engine is improved and more components are added.
If the ability to build/save custom components (for example, integrate Bootstrap elements) is ever added, the app could have a huge impact front-end web development. Designers won't need us anymore.
Hi folks, it seems we have a recent ongoing discussion regarding this topic in our Global Off Topic section. In order to prevent multiple threads, could you please direct any/all comments/feedback to this thread?
Thank you so much and keep up the great contributions!

Program on International & Comparative Environmental Law
The Program on International & Comparative Environmental Law (PICEL) promotes environmental law as a response to the serious threats currently facing the global environment. The Program integrates WCL students with lawyers and practitioners in the field. This integration provides exciting new learning opportunities for WCL students through client-based research projects, expanded support for student research projects, and diverse special events at the school. PICEL also supports several long-term research projects.
Project on Global Environmental Standards
Throughout the past decade, civil society, multilateral development banks, export credit agencies, commercial banks, private industry, and governments have all been searching in different ways for commonly accepted environmental and social standards to govern major investments in developing countries. While some standards come from international treaties, others come from the policies of development banks themselves, namely those of the World Bank Group. The project on global environmental standards focuses on the substantive and procedural aspects of integrating global environmental priorities into international financial and investment decisions. Such global environmental priorities include, but are not limited to, the reduction of greenhouse gases or the conservation of biological diversity; the future direction of investment policy, including what rules would be necessary to protect community-based sustainable development; and the administrative procedural principles and practice that should govern standard-setting at international organizations. This research project includes commenting and participating in consultations related to updates, re-drafting, and drafting of environmental and social standards at international organizations, primarily the International Financial Institutions.
China-Latin America Sustainable Investments Initiative
The Program on International and Comparative Environmental Law has launched a new project: la Iniciativa para las Inversiones Sustentables China-América Latina (IISCAL) or China-Latin America Sustainable Investment Initiative (CLASII). CLASII works to ensure that Chinese investments bring positive benefits to the people and environment of Latin America. CLASII promotes sound environmental and social regulations alongside robust civil society participation in order to ensure responsible investment and adequate oversight. Activities include developing and translating a manual on Chinese guidelines, developing bulletins to update partners about new developments, and hosting workshops throughout Latin America. CLASII is lead by Paulina Garzón, an Ecuadorian native with 25 years of experience working on issues relating to business, the environment, and human rights. Paulina has a Master's Degree in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University (2009). More information is available here.
Accountability in Practice: Lessons from the CAO
The Program on International and Comparative Environmental Law has a project focused on looking at the first fifteen years of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CAO), which is the independent accountability mechanism for the International Finance Corporation. The project will look at the creation of the CAO and early complaints, as well as drawing on the reflections of Meg Taylor, the first CAO Executive Vice President. More information will be coming soon as the project develops.
Climate Law Project
Climate change is arguably the most pressing environmental issue facing humanity today. Little doubt now exists that human activities are causing an overall warming. Further, this warming has significant potential implications for agriculture, the spread of disease, sea level rise, polar ice, and biological diversity. At the same time, curbing climate change with minimum interference on the global economy and the need to continue raising the quality of life, particularly for the poor, will take creative and innovative law and policy making at all levels. As governments around the world discuss how best to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, the Climate Law Project strives to develop and promote innovative legal approaches to climate change, including approaches to carbon emissions trading, technology transfers, liability for climate change, and carbon financing.
Durban Climate Project
Building on the last two years, the Program on International and Comparative Environmental Law will be attending the Seventeenth Conference of the Parties (COP-17) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa from Nov. 29 to Dec. 9. In the previous two years, students have been able to participate in the Environmental Law Program's Climate Project by attending the COPs and seeing first hand what international negotiations are like. The work has, and continues to be, primarily focused on issues related to climate finance, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), safeguards, accountability, and transparency. This year, Program Coordinator Erika Lennon is leading the Durban Climate Project, in which four students studying environmental law will attend COP-17. The WCL students will work on numerous issues including climate finance, accountability, transparency, REDD, public participation, compliance, and the continution of the Kyoto Protocol and its mechanisms. Erika and three of the JD students will be assisting the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and other environmental non-governmental organizations monitoring the negotiations. Additionally, one of the students will be serving on the Dominican Republic's delegation and will work with them to help negotiate a treaty that will be beneficial.
Follow the WCL students on Twitter @auwclEnvLaw.
Cancún Climate Project
Continuing the work around international climate negotiations, the Program on International and Comparative Environmental Law will be attending the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Sixteenth Conference of the Parties (COP-16) in Cancún, México from Nov. 30 to Dec. 10. Professor David Hunter and Program Coordinator Erika Lennon are leading the Cancún Climate Project. Ten students who have demonstrated their commitment to environmental law will accompany Professor Hunter and Erika to COP-16. The WCL students will work on numerous issues including climate finance, human rights and climate change, technology transfer, public participation, and compliance. They will be assisting the Center for International Environmental Law, the Center for Biological Diversity, and other environmental organizations actively monitoring the negotiations.
To follow the WCL Students on Twitter, please visit @COPout16_BeLive.

Copenhagen Climate Project
The Program on International and Comparative Environmental Law will be attending the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen, Denmark from Dec. 7-18. The WCL Copenhagen Climate Project is led by Professor David Hunter and Program Coordinator Erika Lennon and includes several students who have demonstrated a commitment to environmental law. The UNFCCC negotiations in Copenhagen may result in the next treaty addressing the problems associated with climate change. This is a unique opportunity for WCL students who are assisting the Center for International Environmental Law, the Climate Law and Policy Project, and other environmental organizations actively monitoring the negotiations.

Green smoothie testimonials and recipes give readers confidence and motivation in exploring green smoothies for themselves. This updated edition offers important new research on the role that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play in metabolic health and includes nutritional data on select green smoothies and updated findings on organic versus conventional produce.

UPDATE (1:15 p.m. ET Thursday): The Braves have announced the deal. According to the Associated Press, they have planned a news conference for Thursday to discuss it.
EARLIER: Dan Uggla, who was acquired by the Braves in a trade with the Marlins on Nov. 19, will get an extended stay in Atlanta. The Braves signed the second baseman to a five-year, $62 million extension on Tuesday, pending a physical.
Uggla, who had one year remaining on his contract, turned down a four-year, $48 million deal earlier from the Marlins. He was seeking a five-year deal.
"If somebody wants to give him five years, good luck to them," Florida owner Jeffrey Loria said during the November's General Managers Meetings. "He's 31 years old."
The All-Star got his wish.
Uggla, who will be 31 on March 11, had a career-year in 2010. He finished with career-highs in batting average (.287), homers (33) and RBIs (105).
He will join shorstop Alex Gonzalez and, if healthy, third baseman Chipper Jones in the infield.

John Mayer talks about his 'Kid A' cover to VH1: "'Kid A' is this little funny thing that happened while we were making [2001's] Room for Squares," Mayer explained of his Radiohead cover. "John Alagia, who was producing the record, had to go away for the weekend. So myself and Jeff Juliano, the engineer, just started messing around. I tooled up this version of 'Kid A' because I love the song, I really do. And within an hour and a half or two hours, it was all done."
Where Radiohead's version of the title track from their 2000 album is an amalgam of looped beats and electronic tones, Mayer rendered his take acoustically, demonstrating his versatility and dexterity as a guitar player. Another fundamental difference is that on Mayer's track, the lyrics can actually be understood. [thanks Pat]

With the market down six days in a row, one might think fear would be permeating Wall Street. But, curious enough, fear — at least as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) — has been notably absent during the recent selling bonanza.
While the S&P 500 index is down 2.8% since last Thursday's open, the VIX is up only 4% — a pittance compared to its performance during other comparable market slides.
Worse yet, the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE:VXX[1]) is up a mere 1%, no doubt disappointing any short-term traders who snatched up shares last week in hopes of cashing in on the recent market weakness.
So, believe what you will about the current six-day losing streak, but it certainly isn't causing a mad dash into the options mart in search of protection.
Of course, the apparent lack of concern can be interpreted a few different ways. From a bullish perspective, we might make the case that the volatility markets are acting as a leading indicator. The unwillingness of option players to bid up implied volatility may be signaling the sell-off is either close to termination or will continue to be a fairly benign.
On the other hand, cynics might say option traders are asleep at the switch and are in for a rude awakening if the sell-off persists. Such a sour turn of events may eventually lead to a rapid lift in the VIX as traders come to terms with a more volatile reality.
Perhaps the strongest argument for the sleepy VIX can be made by putting recent market movements in proper context. Interestingly, actual market volatility as measured by 21-day historical volatility has been falling during this six-day slide, not rising.
While the correction may be characterized as persistent, it may not be characterized as all that volatile. Over the past week, 21-day historical volatility has fallen from 18% to 16%[2]. Since June 29, it's actually dropped from 20% to 16%. I suspect this explains in large part the unwillingness of option traders to bid option prices any higher.
Click to EnlargeVXX's poor performance has been further exacerbated by the term structure of VIX futures remaining firmly entrenched in contango territory. If VXX is unable to get off the floor during a market sell-off, you can imagine how it will behave when the bulls return to lift the market from current levels.
Bearish plays continue to look appealing on VXX. Traders might consider purchasing August puts or put spreads such as the Aug 14-12 bear put spread (buy the Aug 14 put, sell the Aug 12 put).
At the time of this writing Tyler Craig had no positions on VIX or VXX.

Your lack of intelligence really shows by trying to belittle the fact that our founders gave us this right to protect us from the type of monarchy life that they left back in Britain. Do you live in America? If so you should consider moving to England instead of trying to turn our country into what our fathers came here to get away from.
And to answer your question. Enough of us with the right guns can go in and take out a dictator if it needs to be done.
Besides that Why would a tyrannical government or dictator shoot missiles at its own country? Do you know ANY history?? When has a this ever happened? That point is completely invalid and IDIOTIC. Even more so bc you tried to call someone else stupid.
And even if there are tanks at least with guns we have the means to fight back. Without them we are hopeless when the next Hittler comes around.
Also I would like you to show me where in the constitution it states that we are not allowed to own an automatic weapon? If they really wanted to be specific why would they word it the way they did? "Right to bear arms" is very vague and NOT BY ACCIDENT!
mod/edit links removed.
Some Numbers from 2010 in the U.S.:
358 deaths that involved a rifle
6009 deaths from pistols
10,228 people were killed in alcohol related car crashes
In my state in 1988 a guy got drunk, crashed into a bus that killed 27 kids. To me the only difference is that he only served 11 years in jail.
If the Left insists upon limiting the Second Amendment, then maybe it is time to reexamine the First Amendment, in light of their arguments for limiting the Second.
Whereas: More people are threatened, bullied, or otherwise victimized by speech or other forms of expression utilizing mass communications;
Whereas: Technical advances have placed the means of mass communications and publishing onto every desktop and mobile device in America;
Whereas: Only manual writing or manually operated printing presses were available in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was adopted;
Whereas: The Founding Fathers had no way of even conceiving of the concept of telephony, broadcasting, satellite communications, instant messaging, email, mass-media, home-computer publishing, or the Internet;
Be it resolved:
All persons engaging in publishing, or other mass communications by any means other than hand written public missives or by operated printing presses; or live, non-broadcast or recorded, stage performances shall be licensed;
All equipment, except hand operated printing presses or writing materials, be declared 'Means of Mass Communication';
No Means of Mass Communication may be produced, purchased, sold or otherwise transferred, owned, possessed, controlled, or used or operated by any person or other entity without issuance and possession of a valid Mass Communications Device Permit, after appropriate application, testing, and payment of applicable fees are made to Federal Authorities, for each such specific device;
All Means of Mass Communication in violation of the above shall be turned in to the newly formed Bureau of Free Speech Enforcement;
Every person and entity producing, purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring, owning, possessing, controlling, or using or operating such Means of Mass Communication shall either obtain a Mass Communications Permit, or turn in any and all Means of Mass Communication to Bureau of Free Speech Enforcement.
A simple check of the CDC database WISQARS Fatal Injury Reports show violent crimes committed with guns including murders, aggravated assaults and robberies have declined for the past three straight years. However, current control advocates such as the brady campaign are using numbers from 2008.
As for the first question
"But give me a good reason why any person needs a semi automatic assault style weapon with a 100 round magazine?"
Isn't the answer obvious? I am a law abiding citizen of the United State of America. My only record is that of a couple of speeding tickets in my younger years. I suffer from no mental illness or addiction that could impair my judgment in the use of firearms. I am a hunter and sports enthusiasts and besides firearms I enjoy shooting a bow.
OK, I have to go back to the car issue...lets put it this way. Yes cars are necessary for travel and commuting to work, but why do I need a vehicle that can travel faster than the legally posted speed limit? Or why does a car enthusiast need a 6.2-liter V-8 that will pump out 450 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 450 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 RPM for a sub-four-second 0-60 mph time? What purpose does it serve? Why does someone need to get to 60mph that fast?
Lets go back to mental health. Following the 2007 VT shootings, Kaine signed a bill that improved mental health access and alloted several million dollars for mental health care. A 2009 study showed that in a short time since the bills passing, mental health care improved in the state dramatically. However, in 2010, the same govenor passed budget cuts that reversed the improved funding and even set three state mental health facilities for closure. Most notably, the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents which housed children and adolescents who had shown suicidal, aggressive, or homicidal tendencies.
As for the 2nd amendment doesn't cover modern firearms, did you even read what you wrote? Your own argument nullifies your entire point. the text reads "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." You are correct in that it does not state to keep or bear an ar15, but neither does it state to keep and bear a musket....it says "to keep and bear Arms" meaning the right of all individuals to possess a weapon in the form of a firearm. Now last time I checked, both a musket and an ar15 are firearms.

Anthrax and Biological Threats - What To Do
Many facilities in communities around the country have received anthrax threat letters. Most were empty envelopes; some have contained powdery substances. The purpose of these guidelines (released by the Centers for Disease Control October 12, 2001) is to recommend procedures for handling such incidents. You may want to print these guidelines and keep them handy.
2. For anthrax to be effective as a covert agent, it must be aerosolized into very small particles. This is difficult to do, and requires a great deal of technical skill and special equipment. If these small particles are inhaled, life-threatening lung infection can occur, but prompt recognition and treatment are effective.

Ducks 2, Blackhawks 1: Defenseman Sheldon Souray snapped a tie with 2:08 remaining in the third period as visiting Anaheim ended its four-game losing streak and completed a sweep of its three-game season series against Chicago.
Corey Perry also scored and Jonas Hiller made 25 saves for the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, who are 1-1-0 on their four-game road trip.
With time winding down in a hard-fought battle between the top two teams in the Western Conference, Souray played the puck off the boards and unleashed a one-timer from the left point. The puck hit and broke the stick of Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, causing it to slightly change direction and get past Ray Emery for Souray's seventh goal.
Patrick Kane scored a power-play goal and Emery turned aside 22 shots for the Central-leading Blackhawks, who fell to 4-5-0 since their NHL-record, season-opening 24-game point streak.
After a scoreless first period, Perry got Anaheim on the board 1:15 into the second with a hard wrist shot from the right faceoff dot. Kane forged a tie at 2:26 of the third, beating Hiller with a wrist shot from the right circle for his sixth goal in eight games.
GAME NOTEBOOK: D Francois Beauchemin assisted on both of Anaheim's goals. ... The Ducks won for just the fourth time in 11 visits to Chicago. ... Kane led the Blackhawks with five shots on goal, while Ducks RW Bobby Ryan topped all players with seven. ... With the victory, Anaheim pulled within three points of Chicago for first place in the West and prevented the Blackhawks from overtaking idle Pittsburgh in the race for the Presidents' Trophy.

Mark Philippoussis is feeling good enough about himself, and his game, to joke that only the egg-white scramble in his hotel has failed to match his week-one expectations. Game? Body? Time on court? Tick, tick, tick. After three rounds, it seems, only breakfast could be better.
Yesterday's 6-4, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 defeat of Mario Ancic means Philippoussis enters the fourth round for the loss of just one set, and has equalled his best Open result, achieved in 1996, 1999 and 2000. His recent years have been blighted by multiple knee problems, but highlighted by a Wimbledon final, and Davis Cup success.
Only last year was injury-free, but that, Philippoussis believes, has enabled patience to replace the fear that lack of condition will compromise his recovery if he grinds away and waits too long for the right ball to attack. Yesterday's match was the most recent example of the 10th seed picking his moments, and doing just enough, when unable to do it all.
Philippoussis did not so much win ugly, as win plainly, efficiently, solidly. As it was against Fabrice Santoro in the second round, the Ancic victory was more controlled than flashy. "I just wanted to play within myself," said Philippoussis, who was helped by the fact that Ancic could not match him from the baseline, yet was sparing with his net approaches.
"As each year passes, I get more comfortable with my game and know exactly how I want to play. When you're healthy, and you start getting in a rhythm of playing without being injured, it's easy to know what you want to do, how you're going to play out there.
"It's tough when you're coming back and forth to get into a rhythm. Last year, it being my first year for a while, I was healthy all the way through. I feel my game has gotten better and I've understood what kind of a game I want to play."
Philippoussis was broken in a sloppy first game, and again early in the second set. The Australian's serving performance would not rank among his best, and his first-serve percentage of 49 per cent was down on his previous two rounds, but it was good enough.
The young Croatian reached the fourth round here last year on debut, but was wearied this time by two long five-setters. Giant-slaying was yesterday beyond the teenager - dubbed Baby Goran after upsetting Roger Federer in the first round at Wimbledon in 2002 - and Philippoussis is grateful he has not yet been taken the full five-set distance.
"It does make life a lot easier when you go into the second week knowing that you haven't had that time on the court, you know, like I have in the past where it was four sets and five sets," Philippoussis said. "It definitely catches up with you in the second week.
"I think it's very important to try and get the matches out of the way as quick as possible and spend as least time on the court as possible. I felt that I've sort of done that, and I'm very happy with that. Just want to try and come up relaxed tomorrow, have a light hit and get ready for my match on Monday."
Philippoussis next meets either Albert Costa or Hicham Arazi in a rare Australian singles presence at Melbourne Park on Australia Day. Todd Reid was unable to join him, an early service break against Roger Federer morphing into a 74-minute lesson titled What It Takes To Play With The Big Boys.
Reid broke serve to lead 3-2, but that acted as both false dawn and red rag, as Federer peeled off the next 14 games. Reid has taken great strides in recent months, reaching two tour-level quarter-finals and surviving illness and cramps to reach his first grand-slam third round, but the teenager was also realistic enough to acknowledge the vast distance from his imminent low-120s ranking to Federer at No. 2.
"Not much you could do. He was just ripping the balls for winners. You know, I'm going to have to learn some things, maybe how to counter things when I'm going down like that," Reid said. "There's obviously a big gap where I'm at at the moment, (but) my legs will get stronger as the years go. Hopefully I can just learn from these things."

NTEU media release: Governments must listen to Insecure Work Inquiry on need for increased investment in skills and education
The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) welcomes the report of the Independent Inquiry into Insecure Work, Lives on Hold, released at Australian Council of Trade Unions Congress in Sydney today.
NTEU echoes its key findings, particularly the need for increased investment in post secondary education and training.
"Lives on Hold is the result of a nationwide six month examination into insecure employment, which now impacts nearly forty per cent of the Australian workforce," said Jeannie Rea, NTEU National President.
"The experiences of people shared in this report are genuinely confronting. It contains stories about people who cannot plan for a future because they don't have secure work, that feel exploited and treated like disposable commodities."
"As the report makes clear, the key divide in our workforce is no longer between blue-collar and white collar workers, but between those who have secure work with full entitlements and those on the 'periphery' of the workforce who are employed in casual and contract positions."
"As an academic, I have watched the gradual casualisation of my profession over the last decade with growing alarm."
"As many as 77,000 out of a total university workforce of approximately 180,000 are now casually employed. More than half the undergraduate teaching in Australian universities is carried out by casual academics employed by the teaching hour."
"Not only are we concerned about the financial and physical impacts of casual employment on the workers concerned. I constantly hear stories of talented young academics that have left the sector due to the financial and emotional stress involved. It's a major waste of talent."
"As the report makes clear, strategies are required on different levels to regulate and reverse the growth in insecure work, including better funding and support for life-long education and training."
"The current level and structure of financial support for those studying is predicated on assisting young people of school leaving age."
"It doesn't support these people particularly well. It's even worse when it comes to older people who have children and financial commitments that can prevent them from easily accessing further education and training, including university qualifications."
"The release of the Lives on Hold report must be the start of a major campaign to reign in and regulate the extent of insecure work and create a more inclusive society," said Rea.
The full report from the Independent Inquiry into Insecure Work, Lives on hold: Unlocking the potential of Australia's workforce, can be downloaded here.
