'DAGS' demonstrate

MELBOURNE — A new group calling itself the Direct Action Group Survivors (DAGS) organised a demonstration of about 60 people outside the Liberal Party headquarters here on May 7.

Speakers condemned the Kennett government for being the "biggest handicap to people with disabilities", for its stand on law and order issues and for its privatisation policy. Street theatre parodied Kennett as a "sly grog seller" (he is currently facing charges of selling wine from the premier's office without a liquor licence).

"Australia has the most restrictive media in the western world. Censorship by omission denies Australians their democratic right to make sense of whole stratas of political and foreign policy. That's why Green Left Weekly is a beacon, doing a job of honourable journalism, as an agent of people, not power."
John Pilger
