Tuesday, October 7, 10.30am.
Parliament
House steps.
"Abortion, Corruption and Cops"
Film screening and speakers about the struggle for a women's right to choose.
This is the first week of upper house debate in the Victorian Parliament on the current draft abortion legislation. Speakers Liz Patterson and Kimberley Yu will also look at the current campaign to decriminalise abortion in Victoria and why abortion, a fundamental human right, is still denied to many women around the world.
This film documents the extraordinary life and work of Bertram Wainer, a doctor who fought to make abortion accessible, affordable and safe in Melbourne in the late 1960s. Dr Wainer risked his life to uncover a web of corruption involving abortionists, politicians and police.
Presented by Resistance and Student Housing Action Co-operative (SHAC).

After nearly 516 Years of European Invasion to the Americas
12 October 1492 - 2008....
International Day of Solidarity with Bolivia Melbourne Australia,
October 10 - 2008
Solidarity Night for Bolivian people self-determination and sovereignty
Friday October 10, 6:30pm
New Council Chambers
Victorian Trades Hall Council
Corner of Lygon & Victoria streets, Carlton
Background Information>>
The process of changes in favour of the Bolivian majority is at risk of
being brutally restricted. The rise to government of an Indigenous
president with unprecedented support in that country and his programs of
popular benefits, the recovery of the natural resources and with the
support of the majority of the indigenous and grassroots organisations
have had to face the conspiracies of the Bolivian richest sectors, the
oligarchy and United States interference from the first day in office.
In recent days the increase in conspiracy, violence and humiliation against
indigenous organizations has reached its climax. The subversive, criminal,
racist and unconstitutional actions of the oligarchic groups supported by
USA during last week and days to try to create insecurity, instability and
the conditions for a military coup and the intervention of USA upon the
Bolivian nation reflect the racist and elitist minds of these sectors and
constitute a very dangerous precedent not only for the country's
integrity, but for other countries in Latin America.
History shows with ample eloquence, the terrible consequences that the divisionary and separatist processes supported and induced by foreign interests have had for humanity, just remember the military intervention backed by CIA against Salvador Allende in 1973.
Faced with this situation the Latin American Solidarity Network (LASNET), Friends of the Earth, The Alliance for Indigenous Self Determination and Latin American supporters from a range of Australian and community organisations are calling for a special Public Forum & Documentary Film night on Friday October 10, 6:30pm, at the New Council Chambers, Victorian Trades Hall (corner of Lygon and Victoria streets, Carlton) to express our solidarity and concerns in this difficult situation, at the same time we would like to sign, endorse and support a statement made by Bolivian indigenous and grassroots organisations which will be send to as previous the special Public Forum.
The public forum will be addressed by Antonio-Nava Bolivian general consul from Sydney and solidairty activists will proposed different ways of action to support the Bolivian process.
The International Indigenous Solidarity Gathering - Latin America, Asia & the Pacific support the international day of action with the Bolivian
People.

More about the events:
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE:
THE AIDEX ’91 STORY
In November 1991 over 1000 protesters blockaded the National Exhibition Centre in Canberra for 12 days with the aim of shutting down the Australia International Defence Exhibition. AIDEX ’91 saw the most police violence and highest number of arrests in the Australian Capital Territory since the Vietnam era. Although the exhibition was eventually able to go ahead the blockade caused enough disruption to ensure that no one would dare hold another arms fair on this scale in Australia again. The success of the protest came at a cost however with hundreds of demonstrators injured and their actions vilified in the mainstream media.
Alongside a detailed account of the protest itself Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life: The AIDEX ’91 Story traces the background of the blockade amidst the growth of opposition to the Australian arms industry during the 1980s. Using the words of the protesters themselves the book also explores the lessons of AIDEX ’91, the effect of the protest on a
generation of Australian activists and the way in which similar strategies were used to stop the 2008 Asia Pacific Defence and Security Exhibition from occurring. The book features many photos from both the AIDEX ’89 and ’91 protests.
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life will be available on the night or can be purchased in Melbourne from Sticky, Friends Of The Earth, The New International Bookshop and Polyester books and will be available in Sydney from Jura and Black Rose books in the coming weeks. The book can also be purchased on line from foe.org.au/shop/ or www.newinternationalbookshop.org.au
PINE GAP 2002
From October 5th to 7th 2002 around 500 demonstrators participated in a range of actions aimed at shutting down the Pine Gap US spy base. Located just 19 km from Alice Springs the installation has played a major role in US military satellite activities since the 1960s. Its past operations have included the targeting of bombs during the 1990-91 US war on Iraq and, most recently, the targeting of US bombs against Afghanistan and Iraq.
Three days of protest included a blockade of the road leading into the base, speeches from local indigenous representatives, street theatre, attempts to enter Pine Gap itself and a street parade through Alice Springs. The latest documentary from Box 4 follows the campaign from its early organising meetings through to the protest itself.
ASIA PACIFIC DEFENCE AND SECURITY EXHIBITION (APDSE) 2008
On Remembrance Day November 11 2008 the South Australian Government and
private company APDS Exhibition Ltd had planned to hold Australia’s first major arms fair in 17 years at the Adelaide Convention Centre. With groups meeting around Australia to organise a Peace Festival and a blockade the APDSE organisers, citing police costs, threw in the towel cancelling the event in early September. Come and celebrate this victory for the peace movement.

The Latin American & Australasian Indigenous Solidarity Gathering,
23-26 October 2008, Melbourne - Australia
For our LAND, our CULTURE, our SOVEREIGNTY... Protecting our planet, defending our communities!
Our Call>> The Latin American Solidarity Network (LASNET), Friends of the Earth (FOE) in conjunction with other solidarity organisations will be hosting a gathering for Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists who are supporting Indigenous resistances and struggles.
We hope to bring together activists, indigenous leaders and communities from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Great Turtle Island (North America), the Pacific Islands, and our Indigenous brothers and sisters from Latin America, as well as from the Aboriginal nations of Australia.
This is a time of great struggle for Indigenous peoples. On September 13th 2007, the governments of Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia voted against the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which calls on countries to give more control to tribal peoples over the land and resources they traditionally possessed, and to return confiscated territory, pay compensation, or just say “sorry” for all the abuses.
It is not hard to see why. New Zealand’s government has just unleashed its anti-terror security forces on Maori activists in New Zealand, while the Australian government reinvaded Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory under the guise of “child” protection. Both these governments use their influence in the Pacific to open up communal lands in Aboriginal nations as well as Pacific Island nations to Australian and Canadian mining interests.
Throughout the Americas, from Great Turtle Island down through Latin America, from the Tahltan of Canada to the Mapuche of Chile/Argentina, from the Quechua /Aymara to the Kulin, Wotjobaluk, Mara and Kurnai Nations of Australia in the south, Indigenous peoples are under greater pressure than ever from multinational corporations’ interests (mining, forestry, fuel), free trade agreements and the security apparatus of settler governments, determined to finally put an end to centuries of struggle against dominant elites and against economic rationalism in the form of neoliberal capital policies.
Indigenous peoples are fighting back, organising, and teaching new generations what they have learned from hundreds of years of unending struggle against land expropriation, exploitation, assimilation and the various attempts to wipe them out from our planet.
Gathering (Encuentro)/Conference Contents>>
The Gathering (Encuentro) aims to build bridges of struggle, friendship and collaboration between Indigenous and grassroots organisations throughout Latin America and Australasia.
During the first two days of the Gathering (October 23 and 24) there will be a welcome to country and a public meeting. The second two days (October 25 and 26) will feature plenary sessions, workshops, documentary films, photo exhibitions, stalls and other activities.
Participants from Australia and overseas will explore the questions of WHY and HOW we resist and struggle to protect our planet and defend our communities, and WHAT we propose as Indigenous people and supporters from grassroots and community organisations to achieve social transformation..
Topics to be discussed include:
Genocide suffered by Aboriginal nations
Autonomous struggles
Ancestral rights to land and culture
Sovereignty and the global order
Sovereignty and neo-liberal policies
Land sovereignty and nation
Aboriginal control of Aboriginal affairs
Human rights/Aboriginal rights
Fighting racism
Peace
Treaty or/and reconciliation, and
Other topics presented by Gathering participants.
Our idea is to be open and inclusive to ideas and discourses supporting Indigenous peoples’ self-determination and grassroots struggles for justice, peace, dignity and democracy from below. We would like to develop the concept of an alliance between Indigenous and non- Indigenous marginalised people as they share similar problems of exclusion, exploitation, racism, repression.
We are inviting individuals and organisations to support this initiative by contributing to our organising fund, and by supporting the Gathering itself when it takes place October 2008.
Costs are significant as there are several international airfares to cover, and therefore any contributions would be appreciated.
If your organisation be able to provide some assistance or be interested to becoming a Gathering supporter or sponsor write to us to P.OBOX 813 North Melbourne, VIC. 3051 or email.

For our LAND, our CULTURE, our SOVEREIGNTY... Protecting our planet, defending our communities!
Our Call>> The Latin American Solidarity Network (LASNET), Friends of the Earth (FOE) in conjunction with other solidarity organisations will be hosting a gathering for Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists who are supporting Indigenous resistances and struggles.
We hope to bring together activists, indigenous leaders and communities from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Great Turtle Island (North America), the Pacific Islands, and our Indigenous brothers and sisters from Latin America, as well as from the Aboriginal nations of Australia.
This is a time of great struggle for Indigenous peoples. On September 13th 2007, the governments of Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia voted against the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which calls on countries to give more control to tribal peoples over the land and resources they traditionally possessed, and to return confiscated territory, pay compensation, or just say “sorry” for all the abuses.
It is not hard to see why. New Zealand’s government has just unleashed its anti-terror security forces on Maori activists in New Zealand, while the Australian government reinvaded Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory under the guise of “child” protection. Both these governments use their influence in the Pacific to open up communal lands in Aboriginal nations as well as Pacific Island nations to Australian and Canadian mining interests.
Throughout the Americas, from Great Turtle Island down through Latin America, from the Tahltan of Canada to the Mapuche of Chile/Argentina, from the Quechua /Aymara to the Kulin, Wotjobaluk, Mara and Kurnai Nations of Australia in the south, Indigenous peoples are under greater pressure than ever from multinational corporations’ interests (mining, forestry, fuel), free trade agreements and the security apparatus of settler governments, determined to finally put an end to centuries of struggle against dominant elites and against economic rationalism in the form of neoliberal capital policies.
Indigenous peoples are fighting back, organising, and teaching new generations what they have learned from hundreds of years of unending struggle against land expropriation, exploitation, assimilation and the various attempts to wipe them out from our planet.
Gathering (Encuentro)/Conference Contents>>
The Gathering (Encuentro) aims to build bridges of struggle, friendship and collaboration between Indigenous and grassroots organisations throughout Latin America and Australasia.
During the first two days of the Gathering (October 23 and 24) there will be a welcome to country and a public meeting. The second two days (October 25 and 26) will feature plenary sessions, workshops, documentary films, photo exhibitions, stalls and other activities.
Participants from Australia and overseas will explore the questions of WHY and HOW we resist and struggle to protect our planet and defend our communities, and WHAT we propose as Indigenous people and supporters from grassroots and community organisations to achieve social transformation..
Topics to be discussed include:
Genocide suffered by Aboriginal nations
Autonomous struggles
Ancestral rights to land and culture
Sovereignty and the global order
Sovereignty and neo-liberal policies
Land sovereignty and nation
Aboriginal control of Aboriginal affairs
Human rights/Aboriginal rights
Fighting racism
Peace
Treaty or/and reconciliation, and
Other topics presented by Gathering participants.
Our idea is to be open and inclusive to ideas and discourses supporting Indigenous peoples’ self-determination and grassroots struggles for justice, peace, dignity and democracy from below. We would like to develop the concept of an alliance between Indigenous and non- Indigenous marginalised people as they share similar problems of exclusion, exploitation, racism, repression.
We are inviting individuals and organisations to support this initiative by contributing to our organising fund, and by supporting the Gathering itself when it takes place October 2008.
Costs are significant as there are several international airfares to cover, and therefore any contributions would be appreciated.
If your organisation be able to provide some assistance or be interested to becoming a Gathering supporter or sponsor write to us to P.OBOX 813 North Melbourne, VIC. 3051 or email.
