Bring Julian Assange home - national rallies alert

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 6:21pm

BRING JULIAN ASSANGE HOME!
Stating that a decision on Julian Assange's extradition will likely be issued in the next 6 days, Julian's mother, Christine Assange is calling on Australians to get ready for snap rallies across the country, as the decision should come down between March 6 - 14th 2012. This is close to home. When someone is dragged from the pack, we go back for them. It is expected that the appeal outcome to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden will be announced between March 6 - 14.

Violence breeds violence, police brutality is just not on, shouldn't be!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 3:44pm

Some call for police to stop investigating police, others call for just common decency, when will police be brought into line with the rest of us, and for their sakes too, in being held accountable for behaviour that just makes it too difficult for us to trust in each other?

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.

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 3:25pm

Gerry Georgatos

The Aboriginal Political Party (APP)
has been born in South Australia and it
has based its first principle on fighting
injustice.

Leading the way are APP executive
officers, Kaurna Elder, Lynette Crocker and
Dr Dylan Coleman, the 2011 recipient of
the Queensland Premier’s David Unaipon
Indigenous Literary Award.

On February 19, the 176th South Australian
Letters Patent commemoration was held by
the APP.

“As we move towards a referendum on
