No Internet Censorship for Australia
Posted May 15th, 2008 by Anonymous
Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) has launched nocleanfeed.com as part of the campaign against Labors planed compulsory Internet censorship for all Australian homes and schools. The censorship plans are shrouded in secrecy but will involve a massive federal government blacklist of website (both legal and illegal) that Internet Service Providers (eg Telstra, Optus and iiNet) would be forced to block Australian Internet users from accessing. The proposed system has been compared to the Great Firewall of China used by the communist government to track users and prevent them from accessing news site such as bbc news, wikipedia and websites of human rights and religious organisations.

Evans inflames an already hostile situation
Posted May 9th, 2008 by AnonymousThe president of National Roads and Cyclists Association, Mr Alan Odds today called on the NRMA to stop inflaming the ongoing war between motorists and cyclists with their claim that cyclists do not belong on main roads in peak hour. Referring to the interview with NRMA president Alan Evans on ABC Radio's PM program this evening, Mr Odds said, “It would appear that NRMA policy, as articulated by its president, Alan Evans, is that cyclists should not be on main roads in peak hour Sydney because the mix of motorists and cyclists is unsafe.”

Forest activists take their protest to the headwaters of the Styx River, Tasmania
Posted May 8th, 2008 by AnonymousThis morning, community activists halted the logging of old growth forests near the headwaters of the Styx River. Ten activists have peacefully occupied coupe TN47C, located 100 metres from the TWWHA boundary near the base of Mount Mueller to highlight the continued destruction of Tasmania's unique old growth forests.
"Tasmania is in a state of environmental emergency. Every single day, our island's unique old growth forests are felled, bulldozed and trucked off to the woodchipper. Gunns Ltd.'s stranglehold on the Lennon government has been highlighted again this week and once again it will be our precious carbon rich forests, the taxpayer and the community that will suffer as a result of yet another matey deal between climate criminals John Gay, Bob Gordon and Paul Lennon" said Still Wild Still Threatened spokesperson Ula Majewski.

Police Riot Squad in Nimbin
Posted April 1st, 2008 by zerocarbonNimbin has been visited by at least 100 riot sqad police, plus dog handlers, RBT busses, and associated fearmongering for most of today.
There was no direct information available about this "campaign", however any enquiries were directed to Lismore spin department, even if you live HERE.
The 'Museum' and the Hemp Embassy were cordoned off from the public with 10 - 12 officers guarding those premises.
Tomorrow I will post some audio report on this action.

Posted March 10th, 2008 by takverReports
from the International Whaling Commission 3 day intercessional meeting
in London say that commercial whaling may be allowed but the scientific

Understanding the Issue - Medical Cannabis
Posted March 7th, 2008 by Medical Cannabi...Before we can discuss anything in this country to do with scheduling, classes and drug delivery systems (ie tincture, vapourisation, tea, cannabis butter, etc), we must get to the heart of the matter of what we are truly dealing with. This letter may be quite in depth, but I feel that to gain a true understanding of the subject matter at hand one must look at the entire picture.
