Australian Army to be given Extra Powers

04/01/2006

from the newswire

Australian society has become increasing militarised over the last 5 years. The most recent example of this trend is a new law being proposed, currently in the Australian parliament which, if passed, would make it easier to call out the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) to police and shoot Australian civilians.

Bring back the draft, cries Young ALP?
SMH January 6, 2006

Cries john hoWARd the coward's fascist Neo-Lib/Labs more like it!

Photo: Protesters burn their national service papers at an anti-conscription rally in the 1960s.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the youth wing of the party that repeatedly opposed conscription during the Vietnam War wants to bring back national service.

But this is no coincidence because this smells like another HoWARd agenda no doubt through the back door of the well-paid losers the ALP.

The group's president, Sam Dastyari, said there were too many young people who were not willing to contribute to society. "It does not mean you would have to do military service or be an army cadet," he said.

But no one has been in his ear?

"The community service could take many forms, from being an army cadet to helping with chores at the local retirement village. It could be helping community groups or churches or charities."

But since when do people have to join the army to get a well-rounded education?

Allegedly, National service was last introduced in 1964 as a response to "aggressive communism" and "recent Indonesian policies and actions" and a "deterioration in our strategic position". Men aged 20 were required to serve in the army for two years, followed by three years in the reserve.

The policy sparked mass protests and was opposed by the ALP at elections in 1966, 1969 and 1972. One of Gough Whitlam's first actions on being elected prime minister in 1972 was to abolish it.

The federal ALP can't win an election because they're in bed with the fascist neo-liberals (hence Lib/Lab) and so are their policies.

The Slaughter of an Exhausted Whale Calf

Melbourne Indymedia 06/01/2006

After refueling inside the Antarctic Treaty area, the Japanese whaling fleet has recommenced the whale hunt and slaughter after 11 days. In that time the fleet has fled over 3,000 nautical miles from the far east of the whaling area to the far west. Greenpeace activists again disrupted the whale hunt on 5 January, enabling many whales to escape. Andrew, from the Greenpeace ship, Esperanza, tells the story of one hunt and how the harpoonist needed only one good shot to Slaughter an Exhausted Whale Calf.

Ludlow Tuart Forest Gathering
Perth Indymedia 6/1/06

Ludlow Tuart Forest advocates are gathering this weekend. Just over a year has passed since the Ludlow camp dissipated. A lot has happened in that time and we have all reflected on the campaign and our involvement in it. The Ludlow campaign was seen as vitally important for further Forest action, and Ecological Rights. [The Protest]

One of the most important things to come of it has been the relationships that we developed and deepened: COMMUNITY!

"Lets gather over the weekend beginning on Friday the 6th January 2006..."

Bring friends, stories, photos, paints, twirling toys, bubbles etc. READ More...

The "Other Campaign" begins in Mexico!
Aotearoa Indymedia 04 Jan 2006

January 1st, 2006 was the first day of the "Other Campaign." The EZLN, or Zapatista Army for National Liberation, has begun its tour of Mexico. They began in colonial San Cristóbal de las Casas, the city that was taken over on 1st January 1994 by some two thousand masked, armed, and defiant indigenous men and women, who from the balcony of city hall sent their message of war to the federal government. This began a 12-year political journey in Mexico. The first phase of the Other Campaign will conclude on June 25th, which is also the closing of official electoral campaigns for president, congress, the senate, and, in some states (including Chiapas), governors. Schedule

The Amado Avendaño Figueroa Brigade, which formed last month to provide an other kind of journalism to cover the Other Campaign, has filed its first report. Read Reports

Ariel Sharon 60% full of warfarin
Melbourne Indymedia 7/1/06

You can live without part of your cerebellum... so there IS hope for John Howard.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive brain hemorrhage Wednesday appears to be a rare but well-known side effect of blood-thinning medication taken to avert a recurrence of the minor stroke he suffered two weeks ago.
