Australian government steps up threats against PNG, Solomon Islands

16-10-2006 20:59

The South Pacific is no exception
The Australian ruling class has always viewed the strategically significant South Pacific as its own sphere of influence and attempted to ensure its domination of the region’s considerable natural resources. With the support of the British Empire before World War II and US imperialism after 1945, successive Australian governments have manoeuvred to marginalise the influence of rival powers. But inter-imperialist antagonisms have intensified throughout the world—most sharply in the Middle East and Central Asia with the eruption of US militarism—and the South Pacific is no exception.

16-10-2006 19:12

Protestors formed a ring around the DESO building.
The Defence Export Services Organisation (DESO) spends £15 million a year of our taxes selling arms for British arms manufacturers, often to countries with poor human rights records or engaged in violent conflict. We contribute ten times as much to promoting arms sales than promoting civil exports. Always headed by an arms industry executive, DESO gives the arms manufacturers a unique influence over government policies.

London: Global Day of Action Against McDonalds

16-10-2006 17:06

Outside McDonalds
Cruelty to animals, destruction of the planet and exploitation of workers are three good reasons not to eat at McDonalds or other fast food chains such as Burger King and KFC. On a more personal level, the food has unhealthy levels of fats, sugar and salt, along with chemical additives that can cause ill-health and hyperactivity in children. This was the message handed out to those passing by the Leicester Square branch of the burger chain over Sunday lunchtime, London's contribution to the 21st Global Day of Action Against McDonalds (which actually is on 16 October every year.)
