Scientists have uncovered a connection between Australian coal exports and species destruction.
In a bid to prevent the expansion of coal mining, NASA scientist Andrew Hanson has found coal mining actively destroys the environment.
Greens MP Lee Rhiannon has supported this statement, stating Australia's annual 230 million tonne coal export creates more than 550 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
Australian families are being thanked for increased support toward organ and tissue donations during 2008.
Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation Chief executive officer Allan Turner says 259 Australians donated organs in 2008, a 30 percent increase from 2007.
Mr Turner says Australia is moving in the right direction and encourages parents to teach children about donating organs.
Crisis continues in the states of Israel and Palestine as 30 students were killed overnight after an Israeli attack on a UN run school.
The site acted as a makeshift refugee camp for Palestinians, providing shelter for almost 14,000 civilians.
This most recent attack takes the Palestinian death toll to 660 victims since Saturday.
Five Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died since the fighting began.
In protest to the Israeli attacks the organisation Justice For Palestine will be holding a rally on Saturday, January 10th.
Protesters are also encouraged to attend a roadside vigil at Brisbane square on Wednesday, January 3rd at 5pm.
The group urges Australians to be active in ending the massacre and freeing Palestine from Israeli occupation.
