Following a big presence at the ANZ bank's AGM in December, activists and Climate Action Groups have taken the message to the streets, confronting ANZ during their sponsorship of the Australian Open in Melbourne and Sydney Festival.

racism
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 11:00amRacism, xenophobia, hostility towards refugees, migrants, Asians, Jews, Muslims or Aborigines as with the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, or any other expression derived from a perception of the superiority of one group over another, is entirely the product of an imbalance of power between women and men, the primary constituents of community.
If women and men achieve equality all demographics comprised of women and men achieve equality.
A republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees eliminates racism.

Gas exploration faces grassroots stand off in Southern Queensland
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 28/02/2011 - 2:19pm“You’ve found your own slice of heaven, a few acres in the country where you’ve set up home.

Gas exploration threatens to foul land and water in prime farmland. More info: http://lockthegate.org.au/documents/
