Occupy Sydney held a protest in Pitt St Mall on January 14 to call for the repeal of the US National Defense Authorisation Act. Recently signed into law, the act gives the US government the legal power to detain its citizens indefinitely without trial.
The protesters also called for the closure of the US prison in Guantanamo Bay and the release of alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning.

In this time of crisis we are seeing how selectively the corporate rich apply their commitment to private property. Capitalism’s only unbreakable rule is: privatise the profits, socialise the losses.
