Application and acceptance of the monetary system as the cause of the crisis
Melbourne's Tamil community and supporters joined others around Australia and the world in a day of action on 18 January to highlight the plight of 254 Tamil asylum seekers who have now spent 100 days on a boat in Merak, Indonesia, following the Australian Prime Minister's request to the Indonesian President to have the vessel intercepted in Indonesian waters to prevent it from reaching Australia.

Germany has been looking for a permanent storage site for its nuclear waste for over 30 years. The history of the Gorleben salt dome, a potential nuclear repository, is one full of deception and political maneuvering. And if opponents to the plans have their way, the search might even have to start again from scratch.

14 January 2010 – The world’s 370 million indigenous peoples suffer from disproportionately, often exponentially, higher rates of poverty, health problems, crime and human rights abuses, the first ever United Nations study on the issue reported today, stressing that self-determination and land rights are vital for their survival.
Startling figures contained in The State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples include:
Goodooga, northwest NSW, 16 January 2010 - - Euahlayi activist Michael Anderson says people coming to the three-day Aboriginal summit in Canberra two weeks from now should “be prepared for the fight of your life”.
“This will be heated and furious because when people are hurting they will not hold back. (But) it is important to understand that it is the system that we have to fight, not each other,” the veteran campaigner for Aboriginal rights says in a media release.

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 13 Jan 10 -- Aboriginal activist Michael Anderson reports “overwhelming interest” in an Aboriginal summit he is convening in Canberra on 30 January and 1 February.
“The many calls I have received from our people throughout Australia indicate that the representation should be national,” Mr Anderson, a one-time adviser to the federal government, says in a media release.

Brennan wrote - That's right. JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT there was a security agreement signed between Japan and Australia in 2007. Intention is to counter Chinese influence and continuing strength.Dick Cheney hoped to get India into a similar arrangement.
So it's not just the trade issues that create a barrier to ending Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean but the SECURITY AGREEMENT between Australia and Japan.
The modern history of East Timor indicates very clearly what animal brutality hidden behind "humanitarian" façade of modern imperialism. A brief excursion through this drama will allow us to draw two very important conclusions.
The most important fact, which explains a great deal, can be specified at once. There are rich deposits of oil and natural gas in the offshore waters of the country.
Logging in controversial old growth forest in the Bonang River area has halted again today, with a tree platform attached to logging machinery preventing work.
Protestors have been denied water with police emptying 20L bottles of water on a Total Fire Ban day, where there are no waterpoints in close proximity to the coupe.
Jumping the moderation queue for fans of Australian National Car Parks. On 13th January 2010 A Current Affair will air an investigation of ANCP practices and there will be legal practitioners advising you whether you have to pay the 'liquidated damages' they are demanding ($66, $88, $163) and what to do about their evil letters entitled NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SUE.
Spread the word if you've been affected. There is a Facebook group helping with information and advice called The People vs Australian National Car Parks.
Here is the link so you can watch the programme if you missed it:
In response to a call from the Kulon Progo farmers for support from Melburnians (see calendar item), the Melbourne Anarchist Club (MAC) organised a protest outside the Indonesian Consulate in Melbourne this morning. Called at short notice and falling on a day when temperatures were forecast to exceed 45 degrees, the gathering was not surprisingly small(about ten in all), but made its point.
