Rally: Farmers and Shoppers World-Wide say No! Monsanto!
WHEN: 7:00AM on Thursday 18th February
WHERE: Hilton on the Park, 192 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne (near Fitzroy Gardens)
Monsanto spokesperson Peter O'Keeffe will address the Rural Press Club at the "Hilton on the Park" here in Melbourne promoting farmers' "choice" to grow GM canola and Monsanto's role in the future of agriculture.
In solidarity with majority world farmers who are fighting for sovereignty against multinational control of their land and patented seed monopoly, we will rally outside the Hilton to say "No! Monsanto!"
Profits, seed monopoly and patenting are Monsanto's real agenda.
From the cotton fields of Indonesia, where the company was fined $US1.5 million for bribery while trying to influence a GM cotton approval, to India, where over 100,000 people fasted in January against seed monopoly and GM eggplant introduction, first world awareness of the threat of GM crops is building. Corporate spin will not convince us that Monsanto's patented seeds will "feed the world".

The Hillside Film Festival (formally the Blue Dandenongs Film Festival) is once again running. Following its previous success, this year's festival is running over two, which means there is more local talent, more live bands, and more garden parties all in a beautiful green leafy setting to be enjoyed.
This year we are lucky enough to be screening the cult hit documentary Surfing 50 States, which tells the story of two Aussie mates who travel to America with the goal of surfing in every state- despite the fact that neither can surf very well! What follows is a hilarious journey where the boys take desperate measures to achieve their goal- whether it be by surfing down a 15 foot pile of potatoes in Idaho, being dragged on a surfboard behind a truck in Texas, or conquering the frigid waves of Alaska.
In addition, this year we have eight short films which showcase young local talent and the future of the Australian film industry. We have the opportunity to see the best young talent of any genre, any style and any budget. Highlights definitely include the mockumentary interviewer Sam Tool, who frightens Hamish and Andy and argues with Rove, and the black comedy 'Choke' which proves you should never mistake a Hungry, Hungry Hippo ball with a Jila Mint.

Protest racially motivated violence in Melbourne.
Let’s find a way to show support for the Indian community and signal that we will not turn a blind eye to violence in our city.
This violence threatens all Melburnians’ sense of safety and pride in their home. I want the Melbourne Indian community -and all immigrant communities – to know that they are welcome and entitled to feel safe here.
How cool would it be if Melbourne displayed a show of force by all going out and eating Indian food on a certain night, to embrace and show solidarity with our local Indian community?
Let’s do it!

SALT OF THE EARTH
Banned in 1954 during the McCarthyite witch hunts for its radical political content, Salt of the Earth, tells the story of a strike led by Mexican workers for equal pay and safer working conditions, against a powerful American mining company.
After the striking men are viciously beaten and demoralised, their wives, mothers and daughters take over the picket line, fighting not only for the working rights of their husbands & sons, but also for their own rights as women to equality and freedom.
Based on the 1951 Silver City mining strike, Salt of the Earth is a timeless film about the struggle of men and women for equality, dignity & human rights.
