Green Left Weekly issue #702, 14 March 2007
Letters to the Editor

LETTERS It's time for an anti-war surge!

RESISTANCE! One of Resistance’s main campaigns is to strengthen the movement across Australia to end the occupation of Iraq. As well as building the biggest possible protests on March 17-18, the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we are helping to organise contingents from around the country to jo... » Join us and help make Howard and Bush history

RESISTANCE! PM John Howard and US President George Bush are in trouble over their “war on terror”. Two things help illustrate why this is the case, and how we can hasten them both into the dustbin of history. » Why I joined Resistance

RESISTANCE! Becoming socially aware in Townsville, a city of One Nation voters, was not ideal. It was politically isolating and hard to find information that shed any light on the pressing questions on my mind: why is the world so screwed up and how is this sustainable? » Defend the Redfern Block, abolish the RWA

Below, Gar Lipow critiques this as a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Lipow is an Olympia-based environmental activist and... » Coal bosses shut down satirical website

A satirical website created by climate action group Rising Tide Newcastle (RTN) has twice been shut down by the powerful coal industry lobby group, the NSW Minerals Council. » Labor and the Australian oligarchy

A tiny group dominates Australian politics and Labor leader Kevin Rudd recently met them. He knows very well that the key to Labor’s electoral success later this year is an accommodation with the Australian oligarchy. » Tonight on TV, again: The Biggest Hypocrite

The Blue Team appeared to regain some advantage after the leader of the (mislabeled) Red Team was forced to admit he’d made an “error of judgement” in meeting up three times last year with convicted fraud and former WA premier Brian Burke (now a professional lobbyist). » Who owns NSW politicians?

In the run-up to the NSW elections both major parties are claiming to be able to run the economy better. But the release of the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ December quarter figures on March 7, which revealed that NSW is not technically in a recession, is likely to help the state ALP govern... »
