The threat to renewables

It's the quiet energy revolution happening in backyards across the country: around four million Australians now have solar panels and solar hot water systems powering their homes and businesses. In fact, Australians put more household solar panel systems on their roofs last year than anyone else in the world.[1]

Anarchist campaign against the NSW council elections

In the weeks preceding the NSW council elections, some anarchists and anti authoritarians in Sydney mounted a campaign against the coerced ritual of voting.

A couple thousand posters and stickers were pasted on walls, bins, electricity boxes, telephone booths, and bus shelters mostly throughout the electorates of Ashfield, Leichardt, Marrickville, Rockdale, Hurstville and Sydney city.
Low lying politician signs from every party were torn down, numerous high ones were hit with paint bombs and at least 20 anti voting slogans were sprayed across walls, mostly throughout the inner west.

Northern Rivers Echo - Mungo Mcallum's Artikel:

Journalists Union trying to get rid of elected positions?

The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) is considering rule changes that would see the abolition of all elected fulltime union officials. This is a radical idea and one that has hardly received any media coverage.

 

Can appointed staffers and a CEO really do a better job than people elected by the unions’ membership?
