Sustainable Living Foundation, Friends of the Earth, and Greenleap Institute present... /the 2009 sustainability convergence/ 'breakthrough: from recession to sustainability' As we face a looming financial crisis, what are the threats and opportunities to social and environmental movements? How do we break the 'business as usual' model? How do we 'bail out' the planet? This convergence seeks to bring together people from across Melbourne to start to develop a pathway through the recession to a sustainable economy. What would this look like and how we would we get there? What about livelihood and good work, what about community resilience? What about our place in the world? How do we respond effectively to the looming crisis of climate change? And what does this mean for the social and environmental movements in the short term? This one day forum will look at the opportunities and threats connected to the economic downturn – political, financial, cultural. We will look at hope and fear (and how we can speak in frames not of opposition but of hope and determination), sketch out pathways to a better future, and how we could get to a safe climate economy in 10 years. We will also consider how we could make Melbourne a sustainable city – one that is compact, people friendly, based on public transport, renewable energy, biodiversity and food production There will be a session for workshops – you are welcome to send proposals in before the conference or nominate speakers for the plenary sessions When: Saturday February 14, 9am – 5pm Where: inner north (venue TBC) Cost: Low income - $15 Waged - $25 (no one excluded through lack of funds) Further information: Email Cam at FoE: Start: 12:00

Inspired by the struggle of South Africans against apartheid, the BDS campaign is conducted in the frame work of international solidarity and resistance to injustice and oppression. The campaign calls upon international civil society organisations and people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era, while also calling for pressure to be place on governments to impose embargoes and sanctions against Israel until it meets its obligations to recognised the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self determine and it fully complies with international law.

Imagining India Melboure Cinematheque - Wednesday 25 February 2009 7.00pm @ ACMI Cinemas 7:00pm THE RIVER Jean Renoir (1951) 99 mins
Superbly observed, immensely moving, lyrical adaptation by director Renoir & author Rumer Godden of her novel concerning an episode in the life of a small British community living on the banks of the Ganges as seen through the eyes of an awkward 14-year-old girl. Both fantastical & realist, an exploration of colonialism & a humanist documentation of local custom, tradition & daily life, this is one of the great colour films. Exquisitely shot by Claude Renoir who makes India blaze with vivid & contrasting colours. Restored 35mm print courtesy of the BFI.
Rumer Godden's novel of an order of nuns trying to establish a remote Himalayan mission is transformed by Powell & Pressburger's fevered imagination into a technicolor masterpiece of heightened operatic intensity, repressed sexuality & cinematic audaciousness. Almost totally shot in the studio, this is one of cinema's great synthetic achievements, featuring atmospheric production design by Alfred Junge & wonderfully expressive cinematography by Jack Cardiff. With Deborah Kerr, David Farrar, Sabu & the indelible Kathleen Byron. Restored 35mm print courtesy of the BFI. Preceded by Calcutta Paul Cox (1970) 22 mins. Print courtesy of the NFSA. Melbourne Cinematheque screens every Wednesday from 7.00pm @ ACMI cinemas, Federation Square. | ||

This is the eighth International Women’s Day celebration for Women’s Health West and we invite past and present staff, board members and partner agencies to gather for lunch, laughter and stories of women’s health, safety and wellbeing in the west. “International Women’s Day is a major day of global celebration for the social and political achievements of women and a terrific time to celebrate the importance of working together to achieve change for women,” says Women’s Health West Chief Executive Officer, Dr Robyn Gregory. Key to the future: unlocking 21 years of women’s stories features panellists including Kim Webster. Currently a Senior Program Advisor at VicHealth, Kim was a founding member of Women’s Health West. In 1987, Kim’s house was the headquarters for those writing the tender to establish this women’s health service. “Statistically, women are more likely than men to be poor, unemployed, victims of domestic violence, to be single parents, to work in low status jobs, to have poor working conditions and to work the double shifts of paid work in the home and unpaid work within it,” said Maureen Dawson-Smith, Women’s Health Service Chairperson, at the 1988 opening. “Despite overall improvements in the status of women over the last 21 years, these statistics, sadly, remain true today. But we haven’t lost any of our passion for working to improve the gender and structural inequalities that limit the lives of women in the west,” says Dr Gregory. Participants will examine the history of women’s health in the west and plan for the future through a series of interactive workshops that involve sharing anecdotes and experiences using creative writing, collage and visualisation of the Women’s Health West ‘woman’. Stories from the day will be collated with archival material, statistics and interviews to create a book outlining the history of Women’s Health West, to be launched in November 2009. The free forum will be facilitated by the hilarious Nelly Thomas, who uses comedy to promote important social messages, especially those relating to health. “Women’s Health West would love to hear from women who have worked at, or in partnership with, this organisation at any time during the last 21 years,” says Dr Gregory. Key to the future: unlocking 21 years of women’s stories will run from 12-4pm on Thursday 5 March 2009 at the Moonee Valley Clocktower Centre, 750 Mt Alexander Road, Moonee Ponds. Interested women can call 9689 9588 or email to RSVP by Thursday 26 February 2009. MEDIA: For more information contact Nicola Harte, Communications Co-ordinator on 9689 9588 or email. Start: 18:00

MELBOURNE’S FILM COMMUNITY UNITES FOR BUSHFIRE FUNDRAISER Melbourne’s screen culture leaders and cinephile community are coming together to support the Victorian Bushfire Appeal with a one-off fundraising screening of Matteo Garrone’s award-winning drama, Gomorrah. Yet to be released in Australian cinemas, the sensation of Cannes (Grand Prix winner) and the 2008 Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), Gomorrah will be screened at ACMI on Saturday 7 March with all proceeds going to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. The special fundraiser is being presented by the Melbourne Cinematheque, RMIT University and ACMI with the support of Madman Entertainment, Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts Film and Television (VCA), Film Victoria, MIFF, Australian Film Institute (AFI). The film will be introduced by Australian actor Nina Landis (City Homicide, The Hollowmen, MDA, Blackjack) with a package of short films from AFTRS to also screen. Gomorrah (Unclassified 18+) ACMI Cinemas, Federation Square Melbourne Saturday 7 March 2009 at 2pm Adults $25 Concession $20 Tickets available at the ACMI Box Office and online www.acmi.net.au All proceeds from the screening go to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal ************Gomorrah Based on the best selling book by Roberto Saviano, who now lives under police protection due to the Mafia’s disapproval of his expose of their methods, Matteo Garrone’s enthralling account of the dirty underbelly of Neopolitan crime deconstructs the hoary old gangster myths from Coppolla’s Godfather trilogy and De Palma’s Scarface back to the films of James Cagney and Paul Muni. Gomorrah is a welcome return to the great Italian political cinema, with its sense of the bleak, sun baked streets of Naples ripped by bullets and brutality, and its investigation through a mosaic narrative of how the Camorra has seeped into every aspect of Neopolitan life from waste disposal to high fashion. | ||

Weld Watchtower New Front in Tasmania’s Forest Effort Open Day Draws Crowds to Threatened Forest Huon Valley Environment Centre forest campaigners have opened a new front in the ongoing campaign to protect Tasmania's threatened old growth forests, establishing a vigil camp and "Weld Valley Watchtower" to monitor Forestry Tasmania's plans for a new logging bridge over the Weld River. The vigil camp, which includes a tree-sit watchtower high above the rainforest, will be used to monitor forestry activities and as a base for conducting surveys and research in the wilderness forests of the North Weld area. “We have launched Weld Watchtower camp to coincide with a community open day, drawing people into the Weld forests for bushwalks, photography and talks this weekend. Huon Valley Environment Centre plans to hold more open days to invite the community to visit the ancient forests of this area,” Huon Valley Environment Centre’s Jenny Weber said. "Huon Valley Environment Centre volunteers have spent many hours exploring and surveying the wilderness forests of the Weld Valley. Spectacular unnamed waterfalls, cultural heritage sites and giant eucalypts have been discovered. However, Forestry Tasmania persists with plans to bulldoze a logging road and build a new bridge over the wild Weld River to allow for logging that will damage these and other values," Jenny Weber said. "Hundreds of thousands of tax payer's dollars have already been wasted on logging roads in the Weld Valley. Now, plans for a new bridge in the Weld, logging in the Upper Florentine and logging roads and bridges in the Tarkine indicate the Bartlett Government's intention to open the way for a final assault on Tasmania's old growth forests," Jenny Weber said. "With the downturn in demand for woodchips and calls by logging contractors for an industry exit package, it is ridiculous to be bulldozing expensive new roads into wilderness areas that have been recommended for inclusion in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Huon Valley Environment Centre is calling for the immediate protection of high conservation value forests in the Weld Valley," Jenny Weber said. Contact Jenny Weber 0427 366 929 | ||

The New International Bookshop's new Underground Talk series presents: Adam Bandt: The Greens and the Left under a Rudd Government 6 for 6:30pm Wednesday 11 March New International Bookshop, Trades Hall cnr Victoria & Lygon Sts, Carlton Entry: $5/ $2 concession Currently National Convenor of the Australian Greens, Adam Bandt is a leading figure on the Left today. At the last federal election he turned the seat of Melbourne into Australia's first Labor/Greens marginal, almost toppling now Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner. Last year he ran second to Robert Doyle in a veritable Cup field vying to become Lord Mayor of Melbourne. Crucial to Adam's success has been his ability to draw support from the traditional Greens' inner-city base AND the trade union movement. With this in mind, we have asked Adam to reflect on the role of the Greens and the Left under a Rudd government. When Labor drags its feet, what can we do to force action on climate change, saving jobs - or hold corporate Australia to account? We're excited to have Adam launch our new Underground Talk series of Wednesday night events. This weekly series will showcase predominantly local writers and activists, giving them a chance to reflect on their work and the audience a chance to discuss the issues in a relatively informal setting. UPCOMING SPEAKERS include Colm McNaughton on his 2008 Walkley Award-winning radio documentary 'Awakening from History'; Convincing Ground author Bruce Pascoe on the history wars in a new era; Liz Turner on the SHAC Melbourne Uni squat experience and the state of our social movements, and a whole lot more to be announced. These events will start at 6:30pm sharp, so come early for a browse in the shop or a glass of wine by donation. FOR MORE INFORMATION, or to discuss the Underground Talk series, contact Seb Prowse on 0431 294 773. | ||

STOP THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE Picket Malcom Turnbull and the United Israel Appeal Thurs, March 12 @ 6pm Crown Towers cnr. Queensbridge & Whiteman St, South Bank Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull is attending a Gala Dinner of the United Israel Appeal (UIA). The UIA's key objective is to fund Jewish migration to Israel. Almost 50% of Palestinians live around the world in exile unable to return to their homes now occupied by Israel. Meanwhile the UIA funds Jews who have no historic connection to the land to immigrate to Israel/Palestine. While 4.6 million Palestinians live in exile, the majority in refugee camps, the UIA website promotes that it only takes AUD $650 to bring a French Jew to Israel. With an $85 a head dinner, plus pledging the UIA hopes to raise even more money to Judaise Israel and according to their own mission statement in doing so "fortifies the fabric of Israeli society." Of course their vision of an "Israeli society" is a Jewish one which discriminates against its Arab population. Currently there are over 20 laws in Israel which discriminate against Palestinians. The UIA is part of the Zionist project of displacing and marginalising those Palestinians who have remained in Israel. Currently one of the UIA's key projects is to "pioneer" villages in the Galilee and the Negev. The UIA website describes these places as "barren" while Israel recently spent $250 million US dollars in trying to remove the Bedouin population who live in unrecognised villages from those same areas. Israel wants to pretend these people don't exist like Australia did to its own indigenous population.

Friday March 13, 12pm, outside Rio Tinto (120 Collins St., Melbourne)The violence against workers and members of the civil society by paramilitaries in Colombia, who are closely associated with the Uribe government, has been ongoing. 474 trade unions have been murdered since president Uribe came to power in 2002, and all forms of violence have been committed against Indigenous Peoples, Afro-Colombians, human rights activists and journalists.
Most of the murders are committed by paramilitaries and death squads supported by government armed forces. Paramilitaries are illegal armies that fund their operations through Colombia illegal drug trade and contributions from companies like Chiquita Brands International.
In an attempt to silence those in the internal community that raise their voices against the disastrous labour and human rights records, Uribe has launched a campaign to persecute the international solidarity, accusing intellectuals, students, activists of collaborating with the guerrilla and therefore supporting international terrorism. Peace and Justice for Colombia- Melbourne, calls everyone concerned with the situation in Colombia to join us in a demonstration in solidarity with the Colombian people. Labour and human rights should be before any investment or trade with Colombia! Because being a union member is not terrorism and solidarity is not a crime!
