Freemantle prison is actually a pre-tty scary place where I heard a bunch of incredibly creepy stories (including one that described a man's last moments of his death sentence; we saw the gallows in which he was hanged in the 1970's), but this photograph is such an irony to that.
I hope that the convicts and prisoners who've been locked in his prison have looked up often to see the beauty around them. I know they don't have long outside their cells, but I just wonder what they thought as they looked up at the skies around them.
Not a good photo of me, not a good photo (I must have moved) but kept as a record of how different I looked with white/blond hair.

Part of the Test Your Skills Sampler. Instructions for this block available here.
I’m finally making some decent progress on this sampler, after having reconsidered my original fabric choices after discovering I was slightly short the required yardage of one of them.
I went on a fabric hunting spree, trying to find replacements to match my vision. I ended up having a slight obsession with heavily geometric and angular tone on tone prints.
Blogged here.

coroorato Land Grab, Real Estate racket .
Central SEZ Act 2005 .
Thousands of hectares of land grabbed from peasants in the name SEZs, mostly used as a mask for real estate business rather than productive industry. Use of the colonial Land Acquisition Act 1894 by Governments to forcibly acquire land in the name of 'public purpose' to hand over to corporate-s for private profit. No rehabilitation, no alternate fertile land or livelihood, only one-time cash compensation, that too usually far below the market price. .

CPI(M)-SFI's Practicing Reality .
.
Land Area: For the SEZ at Nandigram, the proposed area is close to 12, 000 acres. Similarly, other proposed SEZs in the State are equally massive or even larger. .
Agricultural /and: Even at Singur (not an SEZ). the Government claims land acquired was single-crop, but fact-finding teams led by lifelong Leftists like Prof. Sumit Sarkar have vouched for the fact that most of the land was highly fertile multi-crop land. In five districts around Kolkata, there are 41,000 acres of land lying locked in closed mills, factories and sick units -but rather than put these to industrial use, the LF Government is preferring .
fertile land. .
Compensation and Rehabilitation: The 'mode[' compensation package at Singur has, according to the State Government's own status report, provided an average of Rs. 83, 000 per farmer. Sharecroppers dependent on the land have been promised a mere 25% of the compensation while the absentee landlord gets the lion's share. (Under the LF Government's own land reforms. the principle was that t~e sharecropper was entitled to 75% of the produce, giving only 25% as rent to the landlord. The compensation .
package turns that principle on its head.) At Singur, there is NO compensation for the landless labourer. .
Jobs. Productive Industry .
As for jobs, some 'training' is promised in the package, but Sumit Chakravarty, editor Mainstream and a member of the above-mentioned fact-finding team, said that in response to repeated queries about jobs created in the Tata car plant. the State Government's response was ·we don't know." (Times News Network, 3 February, 2007). Another member of the same team. Prof. Tanika Sarkar, pointed out that ·several other projects at Haldia and Jellingham have failed to do anything for the displaced people". She cited the way the earlier Jyoti Basu government acquired 32 villages at Rajarhat and ousted all dwellers for commercial projects, askmg "Why didn't the government put the Rajarhat land to produrtive use (industry) instead of allowing .
unproductive uses like five-star hotels?" (Indian Express. January 31 ). So even without the SEZ Act. the WB Government has chosen to use agricultural land for .
real estate business like 5-star hotels. rather than for JOb-generating industry .
ConsentandForce .
At S1ngur and Nandigram, the overwhelming majority of farmers have refused consent, as vouched forby the .
above-mentioned fact-finding team which declares that theirs is a genuine peasant struggle. It is the same colonial Act of 1894 that the WB Government used' .
.
declaring Tata's car factory as 'public purpose'. .
Actual Implications .
On PAPER, the Sardar Sarovar Project in the Narmada .
Valley has the best rehabilitation package possible -but the ground reality, as the protecting NBAactivists .
tell us with elaborately documented evidence, is that .
not a single promise of this package has been met. .
The reality of Singur too demonstrates how "c0nsent" .
.
is manufactured on websites and enforced with guns on the ground! The UPA Government should first REPEAL the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 and clear its national rehabilitation backlog before talking of any .
'humane' rehab policy! .

Massive Tax Concessions .
Central SEZ Act 2005 .
·The very definition of SEZs is that of a "duty-free" zone. Even out and out nee-liberals like P. Chidambaram, Union Finance Minister, say that Q As per ministry estimates, the exchequer wil11ose Rs 1,00,000 crore in the next four years owing to tax and duty exemptions for SEZs3 So even the.
.
'economic benefits' in neo-liberal tenns are not justified. .
CPI(M)-SFI's Proposed "Amendments" .
Various relaxations in the degree of incentives and concessions proposed, butthe concept of SEZs as a "duty-free zone" remains untouched. .
CPI(M)-SFI's Practicing Reality .
The WB SEZ Act 2003 provides identical concessions to the Central Act, and the "Doing Business" brochure proudly promises a range of massive concessions and incentives as 'bribes' for potential investors in SEZ. .
Actual Implications It is typical of the anti-people nee-liberal logic that .
Governments refusing to waive debts or assure minimum support price for suicidal farmers are bleeding public exchequers dry to pamper corporates. .
Instead of rejecting such an anti-people policy, CPI(M) is playing the same field. .
Conclusion: .
.
.
CPI(M)-SFI's proposed 'amendments' CANNOT whitewash the true nature of the SEZ Act that snatches land and livelihood from farmers, creates ~~foreign territories" on Indian soiC where Indian laws cannot apply, and hands over these "foreign zones" to greedy .
corporates! .
