  • Em Yugaamgan Randall- Black Peoples Union
    The Voice to Parliament has been touted as a progressive step forward for Indigenous rights in Australia, however the proposal does not address and is a distraction from the fundamental and significant issue of sovereignty.
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have never ceded sovereignty to the Australian government.

  • Disrupt Burrup Hub: Police Intimidation and Murdoch Misinformation
    Indymedia looks into the counter-terrorist police ambush of a planned protest by Disrupt Burrup Hub activist Matilda Lane Rose and how the campaign is standing strong against repeated home raids by the police and constant misinformation by the corporate press in defense of Woodside's massively polluting project up in the Burrup.

  • Protect Drag Story Time _ Jacquelin Blackburn
    JJ Blackburn from Rainbow Rebellion discusses a drag story time event in Maylands which was targeted by the far right.
    In response, hundreds of people came out to protest them and to stand up for LGBTI rights.
    This is an outstanding win against the transphobic and homophobic far-right. It's crucial that when they organise, we don't back down and cancel drag events like local councils elsewhere have done.
