FBi Radio – Is it a community radio station?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 31/10/2011 - 4:25pm

Why does the management of FBi radio tell their volunteer presenters to avoid referring to the station on air as a “community” station?

FBi is a community radio station. It is licenced as a community station. It is also part of the community broadcasting association. It also proudly announced recently that it is in the running for several community broadcasting awards.

So why does the management make people who volunteer at the station, feel embarrassed to be known as a community radio station?

Occupy Sydney attacks police and responds to criticism!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 26/10/2011 - 1:19pm

A belated statement for the media.

My name is Ashwyn, and I have been involved in the occupy sydney camp, and along with a significant portion of my friends, have been extremely dissatisfied with the media coverage. To make it worse, the 'individual' (and I use the term loosely, perhaps I should say 'socialist party') spokespeople representing the movement have done a mostly terrible job of it. This is my attempt to bring forward some very important details that have been lacking.

Culture of entitlement

Violent dawn police raid evicts Occupy Sydney from Martin Place

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 23/10/2011 - 11:01pm

Over 100 police on 5AM on October 23rd, violent evicted Occupy Sydney from Martin Place. The raid occurred within 48 hours of the similarly violent eviction in Melbourne signaling a major escalation of the Occupy Movement within Australia. Over 40 protestors were arrested during the raid. Although limited footage and pictures have emerged due to both the timing of the raid but also clear police attempts to prevent people filming the arrests, it is clear that the raid was violent. This footage from Sky news and WA Today clearly shows protestors with bloodied faces and hog tied with plastic ties after their arrest. An interview with Mark Goudkamp on the ABC outlines clearly that police punched and assaulted protestors during the raid. This photo on a Herald Sun story demonstrates true nature of the raid with a young woman hog tied after her arrest surrounded by several large burly cops.
