Geelong M1 sets up web site

GEELONG — The collective organising a regional contingent for the Melbourne M1 blockade has established a web site of its own.

Its designer, Camilo Jorquera, said the web site (<http://www.geocities.com/global_justice_geelong>) will help the Geelong Alliance to further publicise M1 and other campaigns for global justice in areas that might otherwise not hear about the issues.

Geelong's Global Justice Alliance is trying to organise people from a range of rural and regional areas to meet at Spencer Street train station at 8am to march down to the blockade.

Wollongong SRC reneges on M1

WOLLONGONG — While students at Wollongong University are keen on the M1 blockade of the stock exchange, their Student Representative Council has all but reneged on an earlier promise to support the day of protest.

At its April 6 meeting, the SRC rejected an appeal by the campus M1 club for $200 to fund travel expenses for students going to participating in the stock exchange blockade in Sydney.

SRC members opposing the motion for support argued that M1 was cutting across a tree-planting ceremony and blockade training day at the Sandon Point tent embassy called by student group Revolutionary Action, while members of the campus M1 group pointed out the irony of counterposing a day of blockade training to an actual blockade.
