You against the Afghanistan war?
So are we. So we've planned a solid week of action to resist the war at Swan Island near Queenscliff. Swan Island is where SAS troops are trained-one of our major contributions to the war in Afghanistan. It will coincide with Talisman Sabre, the biggest military exercises in Australia, aimed at interoperability with the US militaries and involving 30,000 troops.
Come to Queenscliff 4-8 July (or part thereof) and be part of blockades, public stalls, movie nights, facetious cake stalls for the military, and maybe even the inaugural Swan Island swim carnival.
We are thinking big, and we'd love a team of people to organise a fun week to nonviolently challenge and disrupt the military machine.
Check it out and register at http://swanislandpeace.org and follow the planning and action on twitter @SwanIslandPeace and watch Melbourne Indymedia for stories too.

For those that don't live in Victoria - there is of course the national action at Shoalwater Bay and other actions around the country - see www.peaceconvergence.com

Re: Swan Island Peace Convergence and Blockade
How can people attend when we will be at work or are the people like flower power on centre link payments if they are I think centre link should attend at take the payments away from these bludgers.
Yes we should stop the Afghanistan war and let the Taleban rule the country and take away all the womens rights close down schools for young girls make women cover up with the burqa and let them kill all the gay people!is this what you want?Because this is what will happen if we pull out now,Is this what you want to happen? think about what you are asking for.
We should of never gone in there in the first place but if we leave now the place will be a sess pit this will play into the hands of Israel we have to stay there until the place can run by it self.
Think about it and Flower Power go and get a job you lazy prick!
Re: Swan Island Peace Convergence and Blockade
This guy is spot on!!
This protest wont do a fucking thing to change the war?
Get real protesters, have a shower and fuck off!!
Re: Swan Island Peace Convergence and Blockade of Military Base
this is utter rubbish.
all this is doing is being a massive inconvenience for the workers of the island. not just the military staff, but the ground staff and cleaners... costing them a weeks worth of wages. shutting down the island to the bare minimum will not shut down the war in Afghanistan, and if you think it will, you are all fools!!!
