My name is Michael Budinski.

I am currently planning a documentary that explores Dumpster Diving in Melbourne.

I am seeking experienced Dumpster Divers who would be happy to let me follow them along on a series of 'dives', in addition to discussing why they dive and general Freegan philosophy.

Other than a general lack of awareness, there seems to be a lot of confusion among the general public as to why people choose to dive.

Tarkine – World Heritage Now!

A group of activists have gathered at the community forum today in Launceston to send a clear message to the Labour Government that the Tarkine needs an emergency world heritage listing.

T-shirts reading “TARKINE HERITAGE LISTING” were displayed outside the community cabinet forum at the Launceston College on Brisbane Street. Members of the newly formed environmental advocacy group GroundSwell maintained a silent peaceful vigil as the cabinet continued inside.

IMF Gold Sales

WASHINGTON, DC - Last week, the Executive Board of the IMF approved the second installment of the nearly $2.7 billion from their windfall gold sale profits to support concessional lending to low-income nations through the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT) and extend a 0% interest rate that will make this trust available for future generations beyond 2014. This momentous move is in conjunction with their approval of the first installment of $1.1 billion to do the same, totaling roughly $4 billion to go into the PRGT.

On Sunday the 31st of September under the cover of darkness we set off with hatred in our hearts & cans of spray-paint in our back-packs.

Once again we found ourselves in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne – in particular the predominantly low-income neighborhood of Glenroy.

And once more we decided to direct our anger at the church; there always seem to be plenty of churches in the poorer suburbs & Glenroy is no exception.

The ethics behind eating meat

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 03/10/2012 - 11:09am

Meat is very good brain food. Most of the meat we eat comes from herbivores, herbivores are animals that eat plant material. Its important that we always protect herbivores so that they are not exploited too much by meat eaters, the main threat to these herbivores is humans. Their are alot of animals that are carnivores as well & we should control their populations to a certain extent without them become endangered or close to extinction.

Muslim anger and the ethical human rights approach

Statement by our council on the recent riots in Bangladesh.

Greater freedom not less freedom. Muslims could direct their anger towards supporting a peaceful fight for an ethical approach to human rights, development, and globalization for World Peace – it would replace neoliberalism.
