West Papua needs solidarity It was incredibly heart wrenching to watch 7.30’s report on August 27 and see the terribly oppressive situation the indigenous people are suffering in West Papua. I knew the plight of West Papuans was not good under Indonesian rule, but was shocked at the level of brutality.

Tell us how we can improve Green Left

We’re hoping to improve Green Left, and we need you to tell us how. The mainstream media force their elitist ideas on audiences from the boardroom down. But Green Left is people-powered media, shaped by its audience. As the multi-award-winning journalist - and strong Green Left supporter - John Pilger puts it: “Truth comes from the ground up, almost never from the top down.” We’ve created a special email — GreenLeftFeedback@gmail.com — for you to send your ideas in.
