OM loses court injunction - what next?

James Muldoon who gallantly took the City of Melbourne to court over his right to put up some small tents in a public place so that people could protest has lost his first battle. This is a big disappointment for Occupy Melbourne who were recently served with a notice not to erect tents or bring any "things" - such as trestle tables and signs - into Treasury Gardens. Muldoon had sought an interlocutory injunction against the notice but this was not granted in the Federal Court today.

Occupy Melbourne joins day of global solidarity

levin — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:22:46 +0000

The Occupy Melbourne day in Melbourne's City Square kicked off with approximately 750 people and a large number of police. Approximately 20 tents have been set up from various groups including refugee support and campaign groups, the gay marriage campaign, an indigenous tent, kids' spaces, and many others. People are busy making signs and placards with calls for solidarity. Throughout today and subsequent days there will be workshops, and a General Assembly at 4pm weekends or 6pm on weekdays.

The Occupy Melbourne kitchen group has a wishlist - if you can help please donate.
