Film screening and discussion
Screening of new documentary Uranium: Is it a Country?
Followed by discussion with Jim Green, National Nuclear Campaigner, Friends of the Earth


With debates about energy sources and how to tackle climate change, there has been a push for Australia to take up the nuclear option in power generation. Ziggy Switkowski, head of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation says, Australia is ‘out of step’ in rejecting nuclear energy. There is also a push to expand Australia's uranium mining.

What do climate change activists say about the push to put nuclear back on the agenda?

Uranium: Is it a Country? is a new documentary that traces the journey of Australian uranium from the outback to the European nuclear plants.

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.

Direct Action Radical Films presents
PEACE, PROPAGANDA AND THE HOLY LAND:
US media and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Peace, Propaganda and the Holy Land explores how  America’s foreign policy interests work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to influence US news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Directors Sut Jhally and Bathsheba Ratzkoff combine American and British TV news clips with interviews with a range analysts, journalists and political activists such as Noam Chomsky, Hanan Ashrawi and Robert Fisk, to explore how US media coverage about the Israel-Palestine conflict is distorted and Israel’s brutal occupation of the Palestinian people remains hidden in the news media. Raising timely questions about the role of journalism and the relationship between the media and politics, Peace, Propaganda and the Holy Land is a must see film for anyone interested in understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Acts include local artists Jumbledat, Goodnight Owl, The Delivery Boy, Marble Sharps and much more!

The actionday has been organised as part of the 350.org international day of climate change action, giving the local community a chance to show their support.

350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate change crisis. The focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

As part of a world-wide visual petition, lanterns will be distributed to patrons to form the number ‘350’ for an aerial night shot after the event.  The images collected from around the globe will be delivered to world leaders and media to show how unified the climate change movement really is.


Venue - CERES Community Environment Park – Cnr Roberts and Stewart Streets, Brunswick East, VIC, 3057 (Map 30 B7)

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.


Speakers


• Emma Ryan has been teaching and researching in the area of criminology for over ten years. She is interested in police misuse of force and developing effective accountability mechanisms for police. She is currently completing a PhD at Monash University looking at sub-lethal weapons use by police, with a focus on Tasers.

• Charandev Singh is a community legal centre advocate who works with Families who have experienced police, prison, immigration detention or mental health deaths in custody
.

Wednesday 28 October, 6:30 pm

Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick
Light snacks served and bar service available. A collection will be taken to support the ongoing campaign to stop Aboriginal deaths in custody.

The Collingwood Toy Library has engaged some of Melbourne’s most pre-eminent child development experts to come and speak with parents and carers of young children about the value of play.

With the support of the City of Yarra the library will be hosting a series of seminars between October and December that encourage parents to learn more about how crucial play is to their child’s development.

Guest speakers will focus on different elements of play, including using play to address behavioural issues or to stimulate a child’s language development or interest in art. Play is critical to a child’s development. It’s how they learn. These seminars will assist in giving parents the knowledge and confidence to help their children grow and develop important life skills. Our expert speakers will offer parents some practical ideas and suggestions for playing with their child and there will be plenty of toys from the library on hand to help illustrate the points being made.

The seminars are free of charge and open to all.

They will be held at the Edinburgh Gardens Community Room from 7:30pm on 29th October, 12th November, 25th November and 9th December.
