Media Release: Refugee campaigners to demand Labor axe the “Malaysian solution.

Submitted by Flowerpower on Thu, 09/06/2011 - 5:09pm

Refugee Advocates are to demand that the Labor government axe the “Malaysian solution” with a protest outside Labor Party Headquarters in Melbourne from 1pm Friday 10th. 360 King Street, West Melbourne. Refugee Action Collective (Victoria) condemns the Labor government’s policy to ship asylum seekers to Malaysia. It is not a solution for refugees fleeing war and persecution. It is a return to the dark days of John Howard and offshore processing.

Please join us in an International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners Marie Mason and Eric McDavid on June 11th. This is a time to remember our friends who are in prison – who are continuing their struggles on the inside. This is a time to continue and strengthen the very work for which Eric and Marie are now serving so much time - to struggle against capitalism, ecological devastation, and the ever more diffuse forms of control in this prison society.

From the award winning director of "The War on Democracy" & "Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia"

"The War You Don't See" is a powerful & timefly investigation into the media's role in war, tracing the history of 'embedded' & independent reporting from the carnage of World War One to the destruction of Hiroshima; from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war & disaster in Iraq & Afghanistan.

As weapons & propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an 'electronic battlefield' in which journalists play a key role & civilians are the victims.

Slutwalk Melbourne 28th May 2011

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 04/06/2011 - 9:49pm

On May 28th, Melbourne saw its protest as part of the global "slutwalk" movement against the blaming of women for sexual assualts. This is a statement from organisers on what they felt of the day. "It was a magnificent day - more than we could have possibly hoped for. After having only announced the date of SlutWalk Melbourne three weeks prior, the response from the public, the media and importantly, survivors of assault and rape was overwhelming.
