A vibrant ‘A Taste of Portugal’ cultural festival is scheduled for 7 June 2009 at the Queen Victoria Market, Queen Street (Corner of Elizabeth Street and Victoria Street) Melbourne, from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
Catering for young and old, it encompasses delicious gourmet foods, wine, music and dance. “A Taste of Portugal” envelopes the high-spirited community with the essence of Portuguese custom at heart.
This Festival celebrates Portugal’s National Day June 10, 1580, the date of Luis Camões’ Death. Luis Camões was an adventurer who lost an eye in battle. He wrote an epic poem “OS LUSIADAS” and survived a shipwreck. During the shipwreck Camões saved his poem by swimming with one arm while keeping the other above water. Camões became a national symbol of Portuguese culture and literature. Nowadays “A Taste of Portugal” has transpired to become a more community based Festival, attempting to preserve a small piece of history, year after year. It commemorates Portugal’s extraordinary history and all the countries that adopted the Portuguese language, tradition and culture. This was initiated by the ever so curious Portuguese explorers, whose great adventures left evidence of the Portuguese language & culture, making it the 6th most spoken language in the world.
For further information please contact Silvia Renda (President of the Portuguese Speaking Communities of Victoria- CLP Inc.) on 0402 462 437 or email. The Festival is proudly sponsored by Queen Victoria Market.

Abya Yala (American Continent)
Continental Confederation of the Eagle and the Condor
STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY And Call to Justice
In Support of the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon- Peru
From Abya Yala North
Confederation of the Eagle to Confederation of the Boa
June 8, 2009
Invoking our collective ancestral obligations as members of the Continental Confederation of the Eagle and the Condor, in concert with calls to action by the Continental Coordinating Body of Indigenous Nations, Pueblos and Organizations of Abya Yala, we as Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala North, speaking as Original Nations of the Continent raise our voice in solidarity and denunciation to address the genocide of our relatives of the Amazon Territories of the Confederation of the Boa in Peru.
We echo the call for an International Tribunal of Justice to address the crimes of genocide, war crimes, and terracide that are now perpetrated by the administration of Peruvian President Alan Garcia Perez. We specifically denounce the Decree Laws of executive order, and the military and police invasion of the territories of the Indigenous Peoples of the Peruvian Amazon which has resulted in the loss of scores of Human Life over the past week.
We demand accountability from the US Government, President Barack Obama and the US society as a whole for the issue of complicity with the ongoing genocide occurring throughout the Amazon Basin of Abya Yala South, with priority and particular focus on the situation in the Peruvian Amazon and the persecution of our indigenous organizations and leadership such as the AIDESEP, (Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Amazon) president Alberto Pizango Chota.
We demand an immediate moratorium on all trade agreements hemispherically between the US and the government states of the OAS, until a comprehensive review and report on these compacts be undertaken by the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples, in evaluation of the violation of the Right of Self Determination of Indigenous Peoples affirmed by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and systematic violation of the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent referenced by the International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 169. Any such trade agreements among the states that do not integrate the recognition, respect and protection for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as referenced by the UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples is hereby proclaimed illegitimate in our hemisphere of Abya Yala.
We demand immediate congressional hearings on the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement as an instrument of criminal collusion with the genocide perpetrated against the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon in Peru.
We affirm the call by the delegations of Abya Yala North from Mexico and Canada that have demanded the cancellation of the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement, and apply the same criteria of denunciation to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada-US-Mexico as well.
The paradigm of social economic development driven by capitalist expropriation and exploitation of Indigenous lands and labor has come to an end. It has died, with the blood of the jungle of the Peruvian Amazon the death certificate has been delivered to the world. A new, yet ancient, global ecological-economic framework is emerging at great cost, but also with great promise to effectively address the global climate crisis. The recognition of the rights of Indigenous Peoples is the first step.
Our call is the challenge of change invoked by the new administration in Washington, DC that is historic in itself for not being defined by the dehumanizing memes of caste and the historical trajectory of Manifest Destiny of the European American colonization of North America.
Now is the time for the realization of Integrity, integrating justice and dignity along with all of our fellow "Americans" of this continent Abya Yala in a new world hemispheric policy of Self Determination and Reciprocity with Respect for the Rights of the Nations of the Indigenous Peoples at a continental level, transcribed in the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which was adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 13th, 2007.
The time has come to not only change but TRANSFORM our collective continental society of the Americas, breaking the chains of centuries of European-American racism and colonization, expropriation and exploitation by finally and for the first time arriving and discovering the ancient hearth of our global humanity here in the New World of Abya Yala: a world under assault since the beginnings of World War One: October the 12th, 1492.
This war, the war against the Nations of Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, must also be brought to an end. In pursuit of peace, and in solidarity with our relatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon of Peru, we deliver this message of conscience and call to justice.

Indonesia: money politics vs people's democracy
ZELY ARIANE, the national spokesperson of Political Committee of the Poor, a revolutionary socialist group that organises workers, women, farmers, urban poor and students, represents a new generation of young radicals who reject Indonesia's fake “democracy” and pro-capitalist governments.
Zely, who is visiting Australia this month from Jakata, will speak on what the Indonesian April parliamentary and July presidential elections reveal about her country's "march to democracy". She will also discuss the challenges facing Indonesia's fractured left in fighting for a "people's democracy" -- one that can meet the needs of its workers and peasants.
Zely is also active in the Jakarta based trade union SOLIDARITY ALLIANCE FOR LABOUR STRUGGLE. She is a leader of the Women's Liberation group Perempuan Mahardika and is active in both grass roots level organising and forging local and national alliances to create a popular alternative to the rotten politics of Indonesia's capitalist rulers.

On Saturday 20th June supporters of Aboriginal rights in Melbourne will be marking the two-year anniversary of the Northern Territory intervention with a solidarity rally in the CBD, followed by a public meeting at Trades Hall.
The events will feature live music and a range of speakers,
including a woman from the Alice Springs town camps.
“We have organized the rally in order to show our disgust and opposition to the Rudd Government’s expansion of Howard’s racist intervention policy, and to stand in solidarity with the Indigenous people of this country. We will also be holding a public meeting as an opportunity for people to learn more about the effects of the NT intervention and the direction the Rudd Government is taking it, the meeting will also involve workshops and planning for the campaign. The governments attempt to take Aboriginal land, close homelands, and wind-back hard-won Aboriginal self-determination will not be ignored here in Melbourne” said Joe Lorback from the Melbourne Anti-Intervention Collective.
“The Rudd Government’s approach to Indigenous people is dominated by hypocrisy and blackmail! With one hand they sign the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous people, and with the other they refuse to re-instate the Racial Discrimination Act, instead expanding the policies of the intervention and forcing Indigenous people to give up their land in return for desperately needed housing and services,” said Marisol Salinas from the Melbourne Anti-Intervention Collective
Nathan Lovett-Murray, founder of Payback Records, has organized local
Indigenous hip hop artists to perform at the rally. “Little G, Mr Morgz,
Alter Egoz, and Tjimba and the Yung Warriors will be at the rally raising
their voices against the discriminatory policies of the government, and in
support of Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory having control over
their lives,” said Nathan.
The Solidarity Rally will take place on Saturday 20th June at 12pm in the State Library, cnr Swanston and La Trobe streets. The public meeting also on Saturday will be at 3pm at Trades Hall Meeting Room 1.

of Jackie Reem Salloum’s award winning documentary Slingshot Hip Hop

Through music, word and song, Slingshot Hip Hop, tells the story of young people resisting oppression and occupation and crossing borders to break down the very real walls erected to divide them from each other.
