Port Kembla Hospital protest

WOLLONGONG — Twenty-five angry protesters confronted Colin Markham, the
MLA for Wollongong, on January 14 demanding that the accident department
at Port Kembla Hospital remain open. The closure has been resisted for
more than 10 years. A picket has been in place for several weeks.

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.
