Community workers make a difference! Meet outside Legislative Assembly, London Circuit, Civic. Organised by the ASU.

Drug policy is an important issue but it rarely gets the rational debate that it deserves. Drugs are implicated in many of our most costly social problems – homelessness, poverty, mental health, child neglect, family breakdown and should be of high priority to our governments. At election time drugs policy is often only raised on a tough law and order platform killing off any real debate.

A fundraiser for Australians for Justice and Peace in Palestine.
Tickets $15.
We are showing two films, ‘Palestine
Oktoberfest’, Produced and Directed by Canberra’s Lara Van Raay, and
‘Hope in a Slingshot’, Directed by Inka Stafrace.
Palestine Oktoberfest is about a Palestinian festival in a Christian town in
the West Bank and Hope in a Slingshot is the recording of Inka Stafrace’s
visit to the West Bank, also with a historical perspective. They are very
different films which complement each other, both made by Australian women film
makers. Don’t miss this opportunity!
