“Israel, like South Africa, is an apartheid state.”
- Henrik Verwoerd, South African Prime Minister, 1961
“The occupation reminds me of the darkest days of apartheid, but we never saw tanks and planes firing at a civilian population. It's a monstrousness I'd never seen before. The wall you built, the checkpoints and the roads for Jews only - it turns the stomach, even for someone who grew up under apartheid. It's a hundred times worse”.
- Ronnie Kasrils, Jewish South African anti-apartheid activist & South African Parliament member.

Indigenous Social Justice Association — Melbourne Public Meeting
Last December 15-year old, Tyler Cassidy, was shot dead by police in Northcote. The Victorian Police Union used this as an opportunity to renew its call for all police to be armed with Tasers.
In May this year an Alice Springs man died after being tasered. In June, a North Queensland man died after being shot 28 times with a 50,000-volt device. In July an Aboriginal man was set alight in a remote West Australian community after being tasered. He suffered third-degree burns to his face, neck, arms and chest.
Tasers have caused more than 300 deaths in the U.S. and at least 20 have died in Canada since police commenced using tasers.
The Indigenous Social Justice Association – Melbourne is opposed to the use of tasers which we believe will have a devastating impact on Indigenous people, people with mental illnesses and young people, especially young immigrants.
You are invited to hear an expert panel discuss the dangers of tasers and discuss how we can build community support for and participation in this campaign. Join with grassroots activists and advocates who are campaigning to stop tasers and help make the case that these weapons are lethal. Hear about campaigning and legal test cases around Victoria Police accountability for taser use.
