MELBOURNE EMERGENCY RALLY: Say no to fee increases and the US education model

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 05/05/2014 - 7:14pm

Education minister Christopher Pyne just proclaimed his intentions to massively deregulate Australian universities in order to move towards the notorious American model of education.

Pyne, the Liberals, and the most elite vice chancellors want to:

-Deregulate fees, in order to be able to force massive fee increases onto students

-Bring private universities and TAFEs under the same umbrella as public universities, creating more "market competition" for courses. This will mean that poorer students will have to "choose" to study at less resourced institutions

Join Equal Love on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia to send a message to the Abbott government: marriage equality now.

A clear majority of people in Australia agree LGBTI people deserve to be treated equally before the law. A clear majority do not support the Abbott government continuing to discriminate. But equality won't be won through silence. Bring family, friends, pets and placards to let the Abbott government know that so long as they discriminate, we will demonstrate.

Rally will start at State Library and march to the Registry Office on Spring St.

100 days since Reza Berati was murdered in detention - PROTEST

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 04/05/2014 - 4:45pm

PROTEST TO DEMAND
• Independent Investigation
• Close Manus Island, no offshore processing
• Sack Scott Morrison

12.30pm Wed 28th May
Immigration Dept - cnr Spring & Lonsdale Sts

Asylum seekers on Manus Island have directly accused G4S guards of the murder of Reza Berati and the violent attacks on themselves. They can identify their attackers. But as 100 days since the murder approaches, no-one has been charged with Reza Berati's murder, or any of the attacks. One thing is certain, this is blood on Abbott and Morrison's hands.

Offshore processing must be stopped.
