Protester

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Apr 2014 14:36:10 +0000

I've been filming at protests for the last 5 years in Australia as an independent film-maker using the footage I capture in documentaries. I've always wanted to make a video using all the protests I have filmed at and this is it, well, almost all the protests I've filmed at. This video is rather special to me and I composed this tune myself for my latest documentary, Surviving Earth. http://youtu.be/Grvf9TNCmwY

Baillieu government funds new prisons while slashing public TAFE education

takver — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:38:01 +0000

Angry TAFE teachers and students attended a rally today to protest the massive cuts to TAFE vocational education and training in the Victorian Budget handed down on May 1, 2012. The implications of massive defunding is a softening up of the public TAFE institutes for privatisation. The budget cuts will mean substantial redundancies of teachers, especially in smaller regional TAFE institutes, a major increase in course fees, and loss of subsidiary student services such as study skills assistance, library services and counselling.

Bring friends, banners, signs ...

The O'Farrell government has introduced legislation to overturn a 26‐year ban on uranium exploration in NSW, opening the way for future proposals to mine and export uranium.

The NSW government has no mandate for uranium mining in NSW. This issue was not raised at the election and, until recently, Premier O'Farrell maintained that government had 'no plans' to overturn the ban.
