Submitted by autonomousactions on Sun, 18/03/2012 - 4:01pm

On Thursday the 15th of March a massive 4 story squat in Ashfield Sydney was evicted by private security forces. For 3 inspiring and eventful months the building had been home to over 20 homeless students, workers and anarchists. The space had become a centre of anarchist organising and counter information, where many demos and actions were planned and countless zines, leaflets and posters were printed for mass distribution.

The Crown owns Aboriginal culture and heritage – petition to change that

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 15/03/2012 - 8:19am

Under current laws Aboriginal people do not have a recognised right to decide what happens with their culture and heritage. In NSW the National Parks and Wildlife Act stipulates that all Aboriginal objects are considered to be ‘property of the Crown’, and gives the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (“OEH”) the power to authorise the damage or destruction of Aboriginal objects and places, through the issuing of ‘consents’.

The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) is now chasing 10,000 signatures to a petition to have this important issue debated in parliament.
