On the 26th of January, the 226th year since the British Naval fleet of Arthur Philip landed on this territory, we made some modest actions to counter the colonial narrative of 'Australia'. 4 banners denouncing the nationalist holiday were hung from highway bridges in Broadway, Stanmore, Kogarah and Sutherland reading:

STOLEN LAND

NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE

FUCK AUSSIE PRIDE

BURN THE (AUSTRALIAN FLAG)

Let no one say the past is dead.
The past is all about us and within
- Oodgeroo Noonuccal 1970

As settlers on stolen land,
we pledge our resistance to the
Australian state and its agents,
whose despotic practices we abhor,
whose police and prisons we despise,
whose laws we shall subvert and disobey.

On the night of January 26th, while drunken nationalists celebrated the 226th anniversary of a British military invasion, some unaustralians vandalised the facade of the Ryde electoral office of Victor Dominello, the state minster for Aboriginal affairs and for citizenship.

This interview was inspired by David Holmgren's piece "Crash on Demand". There has been a lot of response in North America and Europe to the idea that we try to undermine the economic system (legally) in order to save the world from climate destruction.

by Gerry Georgatos - January 25th, 2014 - Schapelle Corby is innocent and the Australian Government has always known this to be the case. I know this not only from the overwhelming evidence compiled by The Expendable Project researchers who have put the verdict beyond reasonable doubt, I know it not only from the fact that no-one smuggles cannabis to Indonesia from Australia, but I know it from the Australian and Indonesian Governments, both who have told me that Schapelle Corby is innocent.
