Clash with fascists in Newtown A group of fascists and neo nazis were found in Newtown this afternoon. They gathered provocatively at the "I have a dream" mural wall in Newtown. A hundred or so people of the Newtown community spontaneously gathered and overwhelmed them with their powerful presence and voices. The people chanted "nazis out of Newtown, nazis off the planet". They were physically confronted and forced to flee with their tail between their legs escorted by cops.
Is Australian Wikileaks founder at risk of rendition? Julian Assange has revealed in an interview on SBS Dateline program that he fled Australia after the arrest of Private Manning over the release of the Collateral Murder video of civilians being killed by the U.S. in Iraq. Sources indicated the U.S. had requested his detention and interogation as a "counter esponiage" request. This fear of reprisal from the U.S. has greatly increased since the release of the Afghan Diaries, over 90,000 secret U.S. documents on the Afghan War recently.
Cyclists upstage Alan Jones anti-cycling rally Tuesday evening was supposed to be a rally with 2GB conservative radio shock jock Alan Jones railing against Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moores plans for expanding cycling infrastructure and the recently completed Bourke Road Cycleway. However, cyclists from Bikesydney organised a counter event at the Sydney Town Hall in support of cycleways which drew up to 300 people. Alan Jones was nowhere to be seen.
Australia subsidises US assault operationsThe Stop the War Coalition (StWC) condemns the latest Australian government’s purchase of 18 drones (Shadow 200) and training packages worth $175 m. Ms Marlene Obeid, spokesperson for the anti-war group, said “the drones are part of an offensive weapons system that, almost certainly, will be linked to US systems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “In other words, Australia will be subsidising US assault operations, which are more than likely to result in the death of more Afghan women and children.
