Australian government proposes sweeping Internet surveillance

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 15/07/2012 - 7:47pm

Reposted from the WSWS By Mike Head 14 July 2012 Australia’s Labor government is pushing for unprecedented powers to intercept all Internet communications, in line with similar measures in the United States and Europe. Under the proposals, everything that Australians do on-line, from Skype calls to Twitter and Facebook posts, would be stored for up to two years so that the security agencies could explore the data.

Where to now for constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 15/07/2012 - 6:36pm

Early this year an expert panel reported on how indigenous Australians should be recognized in the nation’s constitution. It was hoped a referendum would be put to the people at, or by, the next federal election. That now seems unlikely. So, where to now for indigenous recognition? A special “constitution day” panel discussion on ABC Radio National. It plays for about 53 minutes.

The Lizard comes to Olympic Dam early!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 13/07/2012 - 6:47am

The Lizard's Revenge protest against the expansion of the Olympic Dam mine into the world's largest uranium mine began early yesterday (July 12th). After police announced that road would be blocked to the mine throughout the protest a surprise early contingent including the Lizard itself arrived at the "Gates of Hell". In the spirit of the event music, dancing and generally theatrical freakiness descended upon the gates to the mine. A banner was unveiled declaring "Torch Olympic Dam". Police against protestors to move on but the exclusion zone did not begin until midnight that night. The protest camp begins in earnest on July 14th.
