Fee "hike-ido"

Australia -- Following a fee increase imposed on Melbourne University sports clubs, the kung fu club has reportedly accused the campus sports association of racism and lodged a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission, according to watoday.com.au.

The University Sport claim the increase it was unavoidable due to a revenue shortfall caused by a government ban on collecting union fees from students.

Kung Fu Club students says the clubs most affected are international students - predominantly Asian - who are being shut out of campus sports following the fee hike.

According to policies, a club which is not competing must pay a per-hour room hire fee. On the other hand, free training space is provided free to the clubs which are preparing for competition.

The complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission allegedly includes a support statement from other campus martial arts units, including the aikido and karate clubs.

Right to reproduce?

Australia -- IVF (In vitro fertilisation) is an established and widely used treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology haven't worked out.

"Down under", a 32-year-old man and his wife have recently been denied having such a treatment continued, according to heraldsun.com.au.

Why? Well, it appears the man - a former school aide - has been released from prison after serving time for having illicit sex with a 'cognitively impaired' teenager. The victim was reportedly a student at a school where the man taught martial arts.

Doubts have been raised whether or not the man comprehends where his moral boundaries are, or what duty he owes a child. The man has been called immature and it is said he is lacking any significant insight into his behavior.

During the trial, a psychologist recommended that specific treatment in the sex offenders program was needed in order for the defendant to develop comprehensive remorse.

Without knowing the details in this case, I have to admit it appears to me that denying IVF treatment seems the right thing to do here.
