Global Warming: An Economic Perspective: 12 seminars with Dr Jim Crosthwaite

2 September to 18 November, Tuesdays 6:00 to 8:00 Trades Hall, Lygon St, Carlton.

These seminars seek to answer two questions – how can the phenomenon of man-made climate change be understood from an economic perspective and what sorts of changes in economic mindset, policy and individual practice need to be brought about to help galvanise urgent action?

The seminars are aimed at anyone who accepts the proposition that there is no economy without a living environment, but who nonetheless feels disoriented by the welter of political proposals on offer within mainstream and non-mainstream debate.

Enrolment, further details go to the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy.

 Everyone welcome

 "The Judge and the General"
Many Chileans refer to "the other 9/11" - the September 11, 1973, coup led by General Augusto Pinochet, against the democratically elected government of Socialist Salvador Allende. The coup left thousands of Chileans dead, tortured or "disappeared." Allende died, apparently by suicide. The ensuing 17-year-long dictatorship was embraced then, and even now, by a large segment of Chilean society, as is made chillingly clear in the new documentary The Judge and the General. But many Chileans resisted Pinochet - at first covertly and then more openly - even as the regime was increasingly isolated abroad.

 The Judge and the General explores the criminal investigation of General Augusto Pinochet, who led a military regime in Chile. In 1973, Pinochet led a military coup that ousted the democratically elected president Salvador Allende. In the service of his anti-Communist crusade and with U.S. help, Pinochet's military and intelligence community consolidated power with a campaign of violence that included secret prisons, torture and murder. Hundreds of Chileans "disappeared" - never to be seen again.

In 1998, relatives of victims filed suit against the former dictator and a judicial lottery assigned the case to a conservative judge, Juan Guzmán, who was known to be a longtime Pinochet supporter. The filmmakers, who were granted unique access to Judge Guzmán's criminal investigation, might have expected to document a cover-up. Instead, they witnessed a profound personal transformation as Guzman descends into what he calls the "abyss," and uncovers a past that includes his own role in the

 For Judge Juan Guzmán, a man who says that his investigations "opened the eyes of my soul," there is one clear choice: "A wounded country needs to know the truth."

For filmmakers Elizabeth Farnsworth and Patricio Lanfranco, The Judge and the General was an opportunity to explore the aftermath of the 1973 coup. Patricio is Chilean and lived through it all. Elizabeth helped make a film in Chile in the early 1970s and has been haunted by what happened there ever since. This was the beginning of a brutal dictatorship lasting for 17 years; today our effort is to build our memory in order to don't forget this violence against fundamental human rights.

Public Meeting
Abortion: The Case for Full Decriminalisation

 
6.30pm, Thursday September 25
Trades Hall - New Council Chambers
Cnr. Victoria & Lygon Sts, Carlton South
Ph: 9639 8622 for more info.

Speakers:
Colleen Hartland, Greens Victoria
Anne O'Rourke, Liberty Victoria
Prof Roger Short, Reproductive Biologist
Mary Merkenich, Socialist Alliance

The Victorian parliament is currently debating the Abortion Law Reform Bill 2008. There is overwhelming public support for a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, but it is still a crime under Victorian legislation. The bill is a step in the right direction but it is inadequate for the small number of women who seek abortions after 24 weeks.
This meeting will discuss why women should have control over their bodies at all stages of pregnancy and the right to safe, accessible, and legal abortion.

Initiated by Socialist Alliance

Calling all imaginative and talented artists and activists! Could you or someone you know create a political poster that can stand alongside the great political posters of the past, and is also meaningful and relevant to the future?

http://www.jura.org.au " target="_blank">Jura Books is looking for artists of all ages, styles and levels of experience to submit entries for a political poster design competition.

The general theme of the poster should be to explore some aspect of the past 30 years of radical struggle in Sydney, and/or imagine what you would like the world to look like in 30 years time. The poster must also celebrate Jura Books in some way - past, present and/or future, and include our website or street address somewhere on the poster.

Jura Books has been operating as a center for social change and innovation for 30 years, and we currently combine a bookshop, library, food co-op and organising space. Over the years we have supported a vast range of political collectives and struggles - feminist, youth, enviro, art, publishing, workers control, and many more. We have put on hundreds of events, from film nights and punk gigs to political actions and worker organising conferences. Jura is also home to one of Australia's best political poster archives - check them out at the http://www.jura.org.au " target="_blank">website.

The poster design competition is about commemorating this history, and also building towards an even better future. The entries will be exhibited at Jura and we will produce 1000 copies of the winning design. The winner will also receive a book prize pack valued at $100, as well as the satisfaction of helping a worthwhile cause, and eternal fame/notoriety. The winning design will also be used to help promote Jura Books and raise money so that we can pay off our mortgage, make Jura environmentally sustainable and properly care for the political poster archive.

More details

    * Competition closes on 30th September 2008.
    * You can submit as many entries per person as you like, in whatever style you wish. Bring entries into the shop in person, or send them to PO Box N32, Petersham North, NSW 2049, or email them to
    * The general theme of the poster should be to explore some aspect of the
      past 30 years of radical struggle in Sydney, and/or imagine what you
      would like the world to look like in 30 years time. The poster must
      also celebrate Jura Books in some way - past, present and/or future. The name Jura Books must appear somewhere on the poster. Either our website or our street address (440 Parramatta Rd, Petersham) must also appear on the poster somewhere.
    * The size should be A2, and ideally able to be reproduced digitally without significant loss of quality.
    * Colour is a great idea, however bear in mind that some subtleties of colour may be lost in digital reproduction, so simple and dramatic colours and shapes usually work better than complex or intricate colours and shapes.
    * At the discretion of the Jura Collective, entries recieved may be exhibited, used to promote Jura, and placed into the poster archive at Jura, unless other arrangements are agreed between the artist and the Jura Collective before submission.
    * The winner will recieve a book prize valued at $100. This will include a $50 book voucher and $50 in stock that we will send you. There will also be a certificate.
    * 1000 copies of the winning design will be produced by the Jura Collective. Of this, 500 will be premium quality, and 500 will be of lesser quality. Of the 500 premium quality copies, 100 will be numbered and signed by the artist - these will be used to fundraise for Jura Books. Another 50 of the premium quality copies will be given to the artist. Another 100 of the premium qulaity copies will be sold in the Jura Bookshop. Another 250 of the premium quality copies will be distributed to anarchist collectives internationallly. The 500 copies on cheaper paper will be put up around the streets of Sydney.
    * In keeping with the anarchist politic, please consider this a friendly competition, or better yet a mutual collaboration in clebration of political art! The Jura Collective looks forward to exhibiting and admiring all submissions in their diversity. Everyone should feel welcome to participate! And we reserve the right to share the prize and production between more than one entry if we wish.  "

The Moreland Energy Foundation (MEFL) is running a series of FREE workshops for the Moreland community to households reduce their greenhouse pollution.

‘Calculate your carbon footprint’ and ‘Green Renovations’ workshops will be held at different locations across the municipality and are for anyone who lives and works in Moreland and wants to know more about reducing their impact on the environment.

“The Calculate your Carbon Footprint workshops are a great opportunity for households to understand what their carbon footprint looks like and learn how they can reduce it.” MEFL CEO Paul Murfitt said.

“The workshops will assist participants to assess their home and activities, estimate their current greenhouse pollution and identify what actions they can take straight away or plan for in the future.”

All workshops are free and participants receive a free kit with some great tools and products to help your household reduce its carbon footprint.”

Residents can also attend a free Green Renovations workshop and hear from some local experienced renovators about what they have done to make their homes environmentally sustainable.
