Submitted by autonomousactions on Thu, 03/05/2012 - 6:22am

On April 16 Ryan Pringle, the 33 year old son of a former Balmain rugby league star was shot to death by police at a rural commune called the “School of Happiness” in Northern NSW. The details of this sad day are not completely clear, but it seems that Ryan had arrived at the camp earlier that day, as a group called the Rainbow Family Australia was preparing for a 6 week gathering.

Gomeroi activism stops Woolworths in Moree as Aboriginal nations mobilise across Australia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 03/05/2012 - 2:38am

By Michael Anderson

Gomeroi representatives at Moree in northwest NSW can proudly boast a victory against a big transnational corporate development: Woolworths.

It’s been announced that the Woolworths chain are withdrawing their proposed development and expansion of the network stores in Moree.

Woolworths are withdrawing because of the Gomeroi’s steadfast opposition to the store’s expansion, which would have seen a Rugby League oval demolished and a significant Gomeroi cultural site, where human remains have been located, totally disturbed and possibly destroyed.
