This zine has been compiled by some anarchists from the colonised region known as Australia. This small project was initiated to contribute to a discussion on how anti-authoritarians should intervene in or disrupt the 2013 Federal Election.
We have included statements and communiques from a range of anti-authoritarian positions taken from counter information sites, from the insurrectionary to the platformist.

Tomorrow night is the first of the federal election campaign debates.
Election debates are supposed to be a contest of ideas and leadership.
We won’t see much of that on television tomorrow night.
With the Greens shut out of the first election debate between Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott, there will be no voice for strong action on global warming, no voice for a caring approach for refugees, no voice you can trust on the environment.
I know you agree – Australian Greens Leader Christine Milne should be part of the debate.
