1:15 Call for more international pressure on Australia over Nauru

More than 2000 incident reports from the Australian-run detention camps on Nauru, have been leaked and published by The Guardian. They detail horrific abuse, sexual assaults and self harm, with more than half of the reports concerning children, who make up less than a fifth of the inmates.  

Human rights agencies here and in Australia have again called for the closure of the camps.

Professor Gillian Triggs is the president of the Australian Human Rights Commission, and says so far the Australian government has ignored the reports of abuse and neglect, and wants the international community to apply more pressure.

2:20 Geoffonomics: If you can find a lower price we'll beat it. Maybe.

Both Bunnings and Mitre 10 have a price guarantee - if you can find a lower price on an identical item stocked locally then they will beat that price by 15%.
