Cronulla is located 26 kilometres (16 miles) south of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of the Sutherland Shire. Or as some of the locals just call it, The Shire. From Captain Cook’s landing in 1770 on the shores of Botany Bay to the events that took place in Cronulla beach in 2005, the backdrop of the Australian beach has a long history of acts of gendered and racial possession. In 2005, The Shire, became ground-zero, for the Cronulla Riots.

For three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation, Major Harry Smith and his company of just 108 young Australian and New Zealand soldiers would fight for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of battle hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers.

With their ammunition running out, their casualties mounting and the enemy massing for a final assault, each man would search for his own answers and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future. The ensuing Battle of Long Tan became one of the most savage and decisive engagements in ANZAC history.

The Sydney gang rapes were a series of gang rape attacks committed by a group of up to fourteen Lebanese Australian youths led by Bilal Skaf against Australian women and teenage girls, as young as 14, in Sydney Australia in 2000. The crimes, described as ethnically motivated hate crimes by officials and commentators, were covered extensively by the news media, and prompted the passing of new laws. According to court transcripts Judge Michael Finnane described the rapes as events that "you hear about or read about only in the context of wartime atrocities".

"So they thought, 'Let's frame the most trusted, most innocent commuters - people who travel up and down all the time - and they thought of us. We would have gone down in history as terrorists carrying bombs for the IRA..."

When Governments admit, to not only killing their own civilians, but hiding the information, even when its brought forward years later, you have to ask yourself, Who’s interests were they really representing?

This is the story of the Massacre of the Miami Showband.

A point of fascination for many people and historians alike has been the role of women in the Holocaust, specifically female members of the SS and the Nazi party.

Due to the stereotyping of women throughout history, many have been utterly shocked by the actions of female Nazi guards because, other than the actions being unspeakable, they were simply female.

This, of course, is a pretty outdated view as evil has no gender and it is perfectly plausible for the perpetrators to be male or female.

Time to shed some light on some of the most notorious female Nazi guards.

Despite the widespread ardent conjecture, many of the answers to the case likely went to the grave with the Somerton Man's body. An exhumation of the Somerton Man could unearth some much sought-after answers. The words ‘Here lies the unknown man’ currently ornament the Somerton Man's West Terrace grave. The sands of time will hopefully one day trace out a name on the plaque for the Somerton Man.

Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve a perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person’s essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?

It is supposed to be a season of goodwill and celebrating, a time to relax with the family.

For most of us, it's a time to have fun, eat a lot of turkey, and enjoy a mulled wine or two.

However, for some, Christmas can be a time of great strain - financial pressures, loneliness, or simply a lot of time with relatives where old tensions may come to the fore.

And sometimes these tensions can explode with devastating results, that see spurned spouses turned to murder or brutality exerted on the innocent.
