Friends of the Earth respond to military greenwashing of US-Aust joint war games

Submitted by kimk on Fri, 10/12/2010 - 11:28am

Friends of the Earth Brisbane have released our response on the AECOM Public Environment Report for Excercise Talisman Sabre 2011, the U.S.-Australian joint war games. TS11 is the biggest military operation outside of war and takes place in several places in Australia, including the Shoalwater Bay area in QLD, the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. The PER has no legal standing and is not an EIS. It is an elaborate greenwashing excercise for a toxic, dangerous and murderous industry: militarism.

Wikileaks, West Papua and commemorating the 1854 Eureka rebellion at Ballarat

Submitted by takver on Wed, 08/12/2010 - 10:45pm

The persecution of Julian Assange and wikileaks for publishing diplomatic cables, and information on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is just the latest in government suppression of freedom of speech and human rights and liberties, which past generations have fought for including the men and women of the Eureka rebellion in Ballarat in 1854. I have just returned from Ballarat where I was part of the commemoration of the Eureka Rebellion in 1854 - the 156th anniversary. The struggle for democratic rights and liberties and against corrupt government continues in 2010.

Australia and Melbourne Indymedia stand in solidarity with Wikileaks

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 08/12/2010 - 8:53am

The Australian and Melbourne Indymedia Collective stand in solidarity with Wikileaks and its spokesperson Julian Assange and condemn their unprecedented persecution. In making this statement we join other members of the IMC networks including IMC Brazil and IMC Sucre. Around the world and Australia people are joining the movement in support of Wikileaks. Australia wide protests have been called in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart. A new website has been site up too promote these rallies at www.rally4wikileaks.com Globally resistance is taking the form of over 500 websites mirroring Wikileaks and Operation Payback taking down a bank that froze Julian Assange’s defence fund. The Indymedia Network is hosting one of these Mirrors. As Assange has now been taken into custody and Wikileaks sustained ever more attacks on its ability to function, it is not overstating it to say the freedom of whole internet is now at stake. Will we allow Wikileaks and Julian Assange to be destroyed for daring to tell the world the truth about wars and the criminal deeds of governments around the world?

IMC Brazil supports Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 06/12/2010 - 5:50am

Whereas many times when Indymedia servers, which the IMC Brazil is part of, suffered attempts of censorship by being kidnapped by the FBI and other authorities, we also received support from several organizations that fight for freedom of speech.

First Nations party 'could become kingmakers' in Central Australia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 05/12/2010 - 11:48am

From ABC Alice Springs

A Charles Darwin University political analyst is forecasting a proposed Indigenous political party could attract 20 per cent of the votes in Central Australia. A Gurindji elder is hoping to launch the First Nations Political Party next year, and this week the Australian Electoral Commission has begun advertising the proposal. Professor Rolf Gerritsen says Central Australia could be the party's biggest support base in the country.
