Declare your job a 90-day free zone!

09 Dec 2008
Aotearoa IMC - Features
National’s sacking bill is going to meet resistance. The 90 day bill is an overt attack on workers' rights, targeting the most vulnerable in small worksites. Workers in these job sites currently enjoy few rights as they are mostly not unionised and the employers consequently have a great deal of power. The CTU is responding with a petition and looking at putting adverts in the major newspapers. This falls well short of what is needed. Direct action by workers is the way to respond to this attack. Unite union is taking the lead by saying that any worker can join Unite for $2 a week and get

Already we have seen job losses, cuts in services and price rises.

Stop The Clean Feed

Perth Indymedia
From the newswire, December 8, 2008:The Australian government is currently quietly going ahead with plans to filter all Australian's access to the internet in a manner similar to the People's Republic of China and Iran. This is despite the facts that the filter: will significantly slow down the internet for all Australians; will not be able to prevent distribution of illegal material anyway; and represents a dangerous erosion of our freedom... So, before this terrible idea is enacted we call on Australians to: get informed - get connected - get organised - and Stop The Clean Feed - Nationwide

10 Tahun Tragedi Semanggi Sudah tiga hari berlalu. Kami kembali pulang ke Salemba. Ratusan kardus berisi roti gopek-an (Rp 500), serta tumpukan air mineral dari merek Aqua, Vit, Ades, sampai merek yang tidak terkenal, tinggi tersusun. Bertumpuk mencapai langit ruangan. Wah-wah dari mana bantuan sebanyak ini datang, sejenak terpikir dibenak saya, pergerakan ini ternyata didukung banyak orang. Tapi kaku otot kaki dan rasa kesemutan di pundak sebelah kanan cepat-cepat merebut perhatian.

Melbourne Indymedia
The Melbourne Indymedia collective met in February after a long hiatus to discuss its future. We decided that we did not have the energy required to continue the project and that therefore the collective had come to an end.
We are however keen to help others take up the challenge of producing an activist based, participatory news site, whether that be a Melbourne Indymedia, an Australia Indymedia or something all together new. We feel such a space is very much needed.
Several Melbourne Indymedia members expressed interest in mentoring such a project. If this interests you please contact us

So Young, So Committed, and So Much in Danger

QC IMC
Even as young lawyers, they have witnessed injustices being committed as they chose to defend the oppressed. And because they persist in handling "controversial" cases, Jobert Pahilga and Noel Neri have earned the ire of some of the country's most powerful landlords and capitalists, as well as state security forces, and have become victims themselves of political retribution.
