“This is the fifth issue of FTP zine, our biannual report on anti-colonial, anti-state resistance, compiled within occupied Cadigal territory.

Like previous issues we have chosen to highlight acts of resistance to the Australian state and its control of this territory, such as attacks on its police, its prisons, its monuments and its schools.

A group of Quaker Grannies are currently in the Rockhampton police watchouse after being arrested for blockading an entry to Shoalwater bay with a 'tea and cake negotiation table'.

Their intention is to refuse bail because of harsh bail conditions and thus will spend the night in the watch house. 

The Grannies, who are wearing 160 year-old Quaker bonnets set a table complete with flowers, tea and biscuits in front of the gate to share with soldiers as an invitation to engage in peaceful negotiation.
