Lets get this happening, Geelong! We'll be rallying on the 30th of August, 2014 (as not to clash with the Melbourne march happening on the 31st) to coincide with the renewed national effort.

The finer details are still being decided upon (such as to whether we'll be marching through the CBD or not), and we invite you all to make suggestions. On the day, we will be looking to rally at Johnstone Park, which should be able to accommodate a reasonable number of people.

Alcoa smelter closure opportunity to reduce coal power CO2 emissions at Anglesea and in La Trobe Valley

takver — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:06:53 +0000

This week Alcoa announced the closure of it's Port Henry smelter and aluminium rolling mills after a review conducted in the last year. This is a definite employment blow to the Geelong region, coming on the heals of the Ford factory announced closure. But it can provide impetus to reduce carbon emissions for climate change mitigation action by shutting down polluting coal fired capacity now excess to demand. The Alcoa closure will result in a reduction of about 360MW of electricity currently supplied to the Port Henry aluminium smelter. The Anglesea coal fired power station provides 150MW of this power, which would mean a need to reduce La Trobe Valley generating capacity by about 210MW.

How many more suicides will it take?

Gerry Georgatos — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:58:55 +0000

by Gerry Georgatos of The Stringer, The National Indigenous Times, the National Indigenous Radio Service - September 20th, 2013 - Two years ago, as part of my academic research into the prevalence of suicides in Australia, particularly among Aboriginal youth, to my horror I discovered that Aboriginal youth suicides are tragically at record high levels – that spates of Aboriginal youth suicides are proportionately the world’s highest rates. Aboriginal youth is suiciding at the world’s highest rates.

Spread the word – vote WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks became the media, now we can become the government

Gerry Georgatos — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 11:06:06 +0000

Gerry Georgatos - September 1st, 2013 - We can change the political discourse in this country, we can change the political landscape. Next week, and despite it being unimaginable now, we can have a brave new Australia, a never-before-seen landscape, our national consciousness enriched. With less than a week to the federal election we have the opportunity before us to make this happen. The Senate-only party, The WikiLeaks Party, has three candidates in three States who are all close to being elected. We need your primary vote.
