The Fairfield Bike Shorts independent community film making project has been run over the last couple of months. It’s been an intensive but fun and exciting period of workshops for locals and emerging talent and we’re set to launch our FOUR short films plus a behind-the-scenes documentary on the 12th October 2013. Join us for this special occasion as we take a look at what happened during the workshops, watch the films, and speak to the participants who were involved in the project.

Below is a list of activities currently being organised for the day.

Tony Abbott's plan to silence NGO’s

Submitted by 2060 on Tue, 24/09/2013 - 2:40am

Just a few days in and the Abbott government has announced plans to make green boycotts illegal.

Parliamentary secretary for agriculture Richard Colbeck says he wants to “prevent green groups from holding companies to ransom”

This means environmental groups and community organisations will be gagged if they ask consumers to boycott unethical companies.

Less than a week in Government and Abbott is already showing his true colours – Free speech is under attack.

See the response from The Wilderness Society below.

Abbott Government's first actions: trash climate change education, carbon pricing

Submitted by takver on Fri, 20/09/2013 - 11:00pm

On September 7 Australia elected the Liberal National parties - the Coalition - to Federal Government, with Tony Abbott as our new Prime Minister. It is a Government firmly in climate denial, intent on winding back carbon pricing; undermining renewables; and closing down the Climate Commission setup to communicate and engage the public on climate science and its impacts.

How many more suicides will it take?

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 20/09/2013 - 10:58pm

Aboriginal youth is suiciding at the world’s highest rates.

Just a few days after the Federal election NSW experienced a surprisingly early start to the bushfire season with fires on Sydney's outskirts giving us a taste of things to come. Queensland is also facing severe fire danger with the early onset of high temperatures.
