Melbourne

WHAT: A political fuckwalk

WHEN: June 25th 2pm-3pm

WHERE: Flinders St steps to Bourke St Mall
...
WHY: In response to the governments proposal of permanent legislation for on-the-spot fines for indecent, offensive or disorderly language

In short;
We refuse to accept that swearing is indecent, offensive or disorderly language and can be punished with a $240 on-the-spot fine. We can not rely on police to hand out these fines fairly and feel their powers will be misused and hypocritical.

The Baillieu Government is trying to make it lawful for some organisations to deny someone a job on the basis of their gender, sexual orientation, religion, marital status, parental status or gender identity.

If you think this is unacceptable, join us at Parliament on Wednesday and send Mr Baillieu a message.

Don't wind back the clock on equal opportunity!

At the last incredibly successful BDS action (video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zCd11hWyeM) a motion moved by Students for Palestine activists to hold another action on the 1st of July was endorsed unanimously by the 250+ crowd.

Why wouldn't we do it again! We shut down the whole of Melbourne Central, including Black Pearl, by our loud and angry protest, before running around to dodge the police and sneak around to the... Max Brenner in QV, which we also shut down for the whole night!

A challenging series of conversations and visual presentations of contemporary visual art from artists who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders and who have chosen to make political and protest statements through their work. Recent media commentary and debate around Indigenous identity and history suggest that it is a vexed and sometimes litigious subject.
