On Sunday 26 November, members of the Melbourne General Membership Branch attended the rally to stand with refugees imprisoned on Manus Island and Nauru.

The Narrm-Melbourne branch has made a formal submission to the Melbourne City Council in opposition to the proposed ammendments to local laws which would essentially criminalise rough sleeping. Read our submission below.

As the closure of the Hazelwood power plant looms closer, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government has no transition plan for the LaTrobe Valley. It's imperative that the workers in the valley develop a program of their own to transition away from coal.
