Vibewire and YouTube team up on electionWIRE to bring fresh video reporting to the Australian federal election
electionWIRE on YouTube is calling citizen reporters to report the election their way.
It’s Election Time! The airwaves are buzzing with politics. Who will win? What do the parties and candidates represent? Who cares?
Today, Vibewire Youth Inc announces the launch of electionWIRE on YouTube, a dedicated channel for young Australians to have their say and to report the news of the Federal election their way.
On Friday 18th June, protesters held a community picket of the FAHSCIA offices in Melbourne on the 3rd Anniversary of the Northern Territory Intervention. Speakers including Indigenous people suffering the effects of the intervention first hand, Unionists and politicians expressed their disgust with the way the racist intervention, started by Howard, but continued by the Rudd/Guillard ALP controls Aboriginal peoples lives without improving their living conditions at all. The front entrance of the building was blocked, the back entrance closed after protesters almost entered the building and a replica of the Basic Cards as burnt.
