Liberal Senator Targets Undercover Video Activists

 

If you think that activism is important in Australia then you should be very concerned about new legislation put forward by Liberal Party Senator Chris Back.

His legislation will place strong curbs on the secret video recording of animal cruelty. 

If passed, the law would require investigators to report to authorities immediately if they have recorded any footage documenting cruelty.

This rule would prevent investigators from gathering extensive evidence of systemic or long term abuse.

No Harvey No! Forest activists unfurl giant banner at QV building, Melbourne

Today, two activists scaled trees outside the QV building in Melbourne’s CBD and unfurled a giant banner, stating ‘No Harvey No! Stop selling forest destruction!’ The climbers have positioned themselves high in the trees in front of a Harvey Norman sign and are intent on staying up the trees as long as possible to take a stand against forest destruction. They are being supported by ten activists on Swanston St, who are distributing information to members of the public.
