Upcoming Melbourne event on the debt crisis in Greece, austerity and social struggle

In the manufactured 'reality' of the mass media the problems of the Greek "debt" crisis are an endless flurry of context-less images; of riots, strikes and unrest embellished with quotes by the talking heads of capital.
