Tuesday, October 10, 1995 - 10:00

Well I wandered down the other day to say giday to Senator Ray he told me to get out of the fucking way, seems he's got trouble with flag burners. He's head of the army so they say, he's pretty important is Senator Ray. Some it seems want to burn cotton and dye when the Senator's round they better not try 'cause in this country he'll jail flag burners. In Indonesia they're even more impressive though political scientists call it repressive. The army and airforce show no favours in East Timor they burn flag wavers. ... John Tomlinson

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
