MELBOURNE — Brunswick Town Hall was full for Melbourne's Global Solidarity Fiesta on July 30. An annual event now in its fourth year, this Green Left Weekly fundraiser was, once again, a great night out.
Guests heard greetings from Joan Doyle (pictured), state secretary of the postal division of the CEPU in Victoria; Aladdin Sisalem, Palestinian refugee and activist; and Nurullah Ozbek from the Anatolian Cultural Centre.
Beautiful Hungarian gypsy music was provided by local trio Vardos, and local DJ IamEd also performed. Guests' response to Margarita Windisch's appeal for financial support for GLW was extremely generous and the event raised more than $3000 to keep GLW rolling off the printing press.
