After 11 years of war, and the US-NATO forces looking for an exit, what can Afghans expect from the talks with the Taliban? What should Australians be pushing the Gillard government to do?

To get the justice done, the splintered, shard-like "left" needs to coalesce

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 11:32pm

Gerry Georgatos

The compassionate left wing screams for social justice and argues for our governments and society's institutions to have a heart and help people from the bottom end up, and to desist with the proposition that they can achieve for the downtrodden by working from the top end of town and down.

The bona fide left wing is fractious and forever splintering and yet it calls out for groundswells of people power to coalesce in mass social movements which will give rise to cultural waves.

REFUGEE MOVEMENT CALL TO ACTION…
Easter 2012: converge on Darwin!

When we again protest during Easter next year, it will mark 10 years since the refugee rights movement’s first Easter convergence—Woomera 2002, when busloads of protesters from across the country met magnificent protests by detainees, many of whom leapt through the fence and literally into the arms of the movement.

Nuclear Waste and a Western Sydney Suburb

Submitted by Battler.org.au on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 11:54pm

The NSW State Liberal Government is planning to send Nuclear Waste from the site of an old uranium smelter in Hunters Hill to the Western Sydney Suburb of Lidcombe. The proposed storeage facility is within walking distance of thousands of local homes. Local residents have produced this film to try and explain why Nuclear Waste shouldn't be brought to our backyards.

Please send us your support.

You can find our film at: http://www.battler.org.au/2012/03/no-nuclear-waste-film/

Anarchist intervention against the 150 year celebration of the NSW Police Force

Submitted by autonomousactions on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 3:12pm

At around 10am on March 1st, shortly before the police began their official ‘Sea of Blue’ anniversary march from the Rocks to the Sydney Town Hall, a group of anarchists dropped a banner reading “PIG BRUVA IS WATCHING, COMMUNITY NOT SURVEILLANCE CULTURE” from the Cahill Expressway bridge. The banner was hung directly above the George St march route while 750 pigs were gathered only two blocks away at the Rocks Police station.
