Solidarity with Koori fighters

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 29/01/2013 - 7:57pm

On the evening of the 25th of January 2013 a banner of solidarity was hung on the Sydney University fence. This was the evening before the day of celebration that takes part across Australia.

Yabun is a near by celebratory event of survival for Koori people. It is a patch in the geography of the larger space, a country that is dominated that day by celebrations that are void of the recognition of Koori struggle, the celebrated colonial nationalism or ‘Aussi racist culture’.

Philippines: Coalition clamor for the freedom of information (FOI) bill

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 19/01/2013 - 11:41pm

Still enough time for FOI – if House leadership supports it. With only nine session days remaining before Congress adjourns for a long election break, members of the Right to Know Right Now Coalition are reminding members of Congress that they still have enough time to pass the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill even without the prodding of Malacanang.

All that is needed, the Coalition says, is a clear commitment from the leaders of the House of Representatives.

Paris (France) - Solidarity action for the migrants' struggle in Australia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 18/01/2013 - 10:22am

On Sunday January 13th, a dozen people went to Quai Branly Museum, in Paris, where an Aboriginal art exhibition was taking place.

The text below was distributed there as a leaflet and a banner was put at the entrance, blockading the access to the Museum for some time. On the banner, it was written «L'Australie traque et enferme / Vive la révolte / à Nauru comme ailleurs», which means «Australie hunts down and incarcerates / Long live revolt / in Nauru and everywhere».
