| Local women create natural cosmetics
Julia Brownfield and Victoria England have something in common: At some point, each of them looked at commercially available cosmetics and skin care products and thought, "I can make better stuff than this." So they set out to do it. Through determination and a great deal of trial-and-error experimentation, each developed her own line of products, created packaging and labeling, tackled the difficult task of marketing, and now each operates her own business, offering organic alternatives to traditional cosmetics. Brownfield's initial motivation was a selfish one. "I trained racehorses for 15 years, so my skin took a beating," she said. "I wanted a natural product for my skin. It was just for me." Making extensive use of the Internet, Brownfield began researching fruits and vegetables, oils and vitamins, looking for the ideal ingredients to improve the health of her skin.

'Racism to blame' for Aboriginal health problems
The Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTAR) group says racism is directly to blame for many health problems in the Aboriginal community. The group has launched a national campaign called "Racism makes me sick" to highlight the issue. ANTAR's national director Gary Highland says heart disease, mental illness, premature births and other illnesses in the Indigenous population can be directly attributed to the negative impact of racism on a person's health. He says the life-expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous will not improve unless some positive changes occur in attitudes.
