One of the biggest things we miss out on in Australia is the lack of information in the press about Fairtrade. We are surrounded by neighbours who are directly affected by unfair trade rules and through exploitation by big business but the issues seldom hit our headlines.

This is where we would like to offer you a place to come to in your lunch hour, at the end of the day at home or whenever you wish, to browse the news of past and present, to be reminded that there are other people out there thinking and doing something about these issues.

We will try not to be gloom mongers, but give you a balance of the successes and failures of our world in coming to grips with doing business fairly.

If you come across and interesting article that is reasonably balanced and backed up, send it in to us and we might be able to put it within these pages.
