SMASH NATO’S DRIVE TO CONQUER LIBYA!

NATO’s savage air strikes on Libya have killed over two thousand civilians and injured thousands more. Among those murdered by NATO “precision strikes” have been children killed in their own homes.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 19/08/2011 - 7:33pm

There was a dramatic unfurling of a giant "Enough Is Enough: Stop Coal & Gas Expansion" banner by two activists who abseiled down the front of the hotel where mining company executives were meeting to plan the wholesale exploitation of NSW even at the cost of communities and the environment. This was the highlight the protest organised by Lock The Gate, an alliance of urban and rural groups opposing coal seam gas mining.
