Religion in Russia Fights Back After 25 Years of Atheism
After a quarter century of anti religious teaching and persecution, Soviet leaders warn that Russia remains deeply religious.

The sentiment resonates with Western observers noting religion’s persistence where conscience rather than state or church governs belief.

Petrol tax money for roads and political blame
The report outlines how the petrol tax, introduced by Sir Earle Page, was meant to fund roads but was largely diverted by successive Labour governments in New South Wales and Canberra. Lieut Col Bruxner criticizes past administrations for not sharing revenue, weakening the Main Roads organisation, and transferring funds to general revenue amid rising construction and maintenance costs. The account notes efforts during the recent federal campaign and government actions affecting road funding and taxation.
