Almost 35 years since punk hit independent bands in Melbourne, Australia are still keeping the punk spirit alive. They are are saying F*@% you! to the main stream venues around that charge high prices for drinks, large entrance fees and make bands jump through hoops to play by running their own shows in unused spaces.

Occupy Melbourne has moved into a new phase of the movement after agreeing unanimously at the 28th General Assembly to adopt a short/medium-term strategy involving an expansion to multiple occupation sites and targeted occupations.

The strategy involves both maintaining a Base Occupation & Forward/Mobile Occupations, and co-ordinating an ongoing series Targeted Occupations (such as Occupy Ports in the US). Occupy Melbourne is waiting on confirmation on a potential site for the Base Occupation on private land, where infrastructure to build and support the movement can be established.
