The war on refugees: Is Rudd becoming Howard? A Socialist Alliance Forum on Refugees, Racism & War Sat Nov 21, 2pm Resistance Centre 23 Abercrombie St Chippendale The Sri Lankan government's genocide of the Tamil people and its detention of 300,000 people in concentration camps has provoked a mass refugee flight. At least 3,700 Tamil refugees have fled from Sri Lanka to India this year (23,000 in last three years). Only a few hundred have braved the dangerous sea voyage to Australian territory but the Rudd Labor government is seeking to have them intercepted and taken to detention camps in Indonesia. The "Indonesian solution" is Rudd's alternative to Howard's failed "Pacific solution". And worse, Rudd Labor government has offered millions of dollars to run the concentration camps in Sri Lanka and promised to assist the Sri Lankan government hunt down Tamil freedom fighters allegedly helping the refugees flee.

Stand up for water, not coal! Support coal communities group Rivers SoS About Rivers SoS' court challenge to the expansion of Metropolitan coal mine In June, NSW Planning Minister Keneally approved a $50 million expansion of the Metropolitan Collieries under Part 3A, the first decision since a major government inquiry into the impact of coal mining on water in the Southern Coalfields. The approval allows for longwall mining to take place directly under the Woronora Dam, one of Sydney’s most reliable drinking water sources. In what could be a landmark case, the Environmental Defenders Office is working with Rivers SOS to take the NSW Government to the Land and Environment Court to challenge the legality of the mining approval process.

Tell Kevin Rudd: don't dump on Indonesia. Australian carbon colonialism - stop the offsets! Kevin Rudd's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme allows for 100% of Australian emissions reductions to be found offshore. Federal Treasury predicts at least 50% reliance on offshore credits to achieve the lowest reduction in emissions (5%). Kevin Rudd is now looking for cheap offshore offsets for Australian emissions. Indonesia is the first target, with the AusAid funded Kalimantan Forests and Climate project designed to establish reduced deforestation as an acceptable offset. Local groups in Indonesia, including WALHI, Indonesia’s largest environment organisation and the Indonesian Union of Small Farmers are opposed to Australia’s offset schemes and are protesting tomorrow at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.

2.30pm : FRETECO - Factoru occupations and worker control A new film on the Venezuelan Revolution. Produced by Vive TV in Venezuela, this new documentary on FRETECO explores the movement of occupied factories and workers’ control in Venezuela. Workers young and old, male and female, tell their stories and explain why they came to the realization that demanding nationalization under workers’ control is the only way forward. With examples explaining how factory and workers’ councils function, the role of the communal councils, and the movement for “trade unionism of a new type,” this video provides a living, breathing look at a crucial aspect of the Venezuelan revolutionary process.

Bring a picninc & join us for a free family friendly celebration. Bring a kite, dress up your dog, scooter or ppram to win prizes. Event will raise funds for proposed 'Movies in Braye Park'. Sponsored by Newcastle City Council's 'Place-making initiative'.
