Perth Indymedia
From the newswire: FEBRUARY 26, 2009. The Australian Nuclear Free Alliance (ANFA) has dismissed claims by the Australian Uranium Association (AUA) that uranium mining is the solution to systemic Aboriginal disadvantage. The uranium industry's attempt to promote itself as a cure to Aboriginal poverty is in direct conflict to the reality of the Aboriginal experience. Extensive research has shown that mining agreements have not improved life for Aboriginal people - uranium mines mean more problems. The main lasting effect of uranium mining for Aboriginal people is radioactive waste on their

Kampus ini merupakan representasi Indonesia di mata dunia dan selama ini menjadi salah satu ujung tombak perubahan. UI merupakan lembaga yang aktif menggerakkan dan mempelopori proses reformasi. Alasan pelarangan tidak jelas dan cenderung mengada-ada. Nama UI akan dicatat dalam sejarah sebagai kampus di era reformasi yang pernah melarang konser musik kemanusiaan.

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.
