censorship

Media Release 2 June 2013: The Wednesday Action Group was formed in 1999 to raise important social and political issues on the streets of Melbourne's CBD. Every Wednesday, over the last 14 years, we have legally assembled on the footpath collecting signatures on petitions that we have presented to the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Federal Parliament and the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council in the Victorian Parliament.

Socialist Alliance national convenor dodges issues on 'porn'

Anonymous — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 22:23:46 +0000

The exchange (reproduced below) of Facebook correspondence over the past week or so between myself and the Australian Socialist Alliance co-convenor Peter Boyle, on the subject of Alliance policy relating to erotica and pornography, arose from a question about Alliance policy on this issue that I put to Boyle during the discussion following his presentation of the new draft Socialist Alliance programme: 'Towards a Socialist Australia', at an Alliance/Resistance-sponsored, one-day, socialist educational conference held at the Activist Centre in East Perth a couple of weekends ago.

Wei Ling Chua — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:21:57 +0000

I decided to put these incidents on public record for the benefit of the Australian society and to uphold the original purpose of the tax payer funded Internet media – The CONVERSATION.

The CONVERSATION is funded by the Australian government for the following purposes:

Is The Punch being unduly censored?

JenniferNash — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:48:35 +0000

I recently documented on The Punch how my son Jordan, a victim of severe school bullying and education discrimination has become a victim of escalating human rights abuses including police brutality, false arrest, false imprisonment and wrongful prosecution. After my blog comments were published online they received over a dozen replies. However, sometime between 5 and 6 pm on 13/12/11, all my published comments and the responses to them were removed from The Punch website due to censorship.

Melbourne Wikileaks protesters march on British consulate

takver — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:10:52 +0000

A warm early summer day in Melbourne, with crowds of Christmas shoppers strolling the streets and city workers heading home on a Tuesday evening. Into this mix a gathering slowly grows on the lawn of the State Library. A gathering for free speech, to defend Julian Assange and the Wikileaks website.

Youtube censors Greenpeace parody video at food giant Nestlé's behest

takver — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:10:43 +0000

Nestlé, the world's leading food and drinks company, has had Greenpeace's new video removed from YouTube on copyright grounds. The video is a response to Nestlé sourcing palm oil from companies involved in the destruction of rainforests and peatlands in Indonesia. Palm oil is used in many popular Nestlé brands. The destruction of rainforest and peatlands for palm oil plantations releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere making Indonesia one of the highest emitters of CO2 and contributing to global warming.

Internet censorship laws play right into the hands of Murdoch

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:45:37 +0000

Murdoch beleives people should be paying for news on the internet. For some time now the profit margins that he built his news empire upon, the newspapers, have been declining. With independant news sites freely available, where individuals can express there views or campaign for their own platform, it seems the only chance for murdoch would be if the government were to implement new media laws.

The truth (news) can no longer be spoon fed, force fed, or under fed.

Al Jazeera West Papua documentary Censored

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:25:02 +0000

Melbourne film-makers documentary ‘Pride of Warriors’ was scheduled to screen on Al Jazeera English channel last night at 6:30pm. In cooperation with the 3rd largest English television broadcasters, the film had been made to uncover secret human rights abuses in the Indonesian Province of West Papua. It appears that the channel bowed to pressure from the Indonesian Government and removed the documentary hours before it was due to be aired.
