  • Acknowledgement of Country//News headlines//We listened to a recording of discussions outside of the Federal court following the hearing on Monday 11 Novermber 2024 that was brought forward by Robbie Thorpe to have attorney general Mark Dreyfus added as a defendant to the question: Is our fire at camp sovereignty protected by Australia's constitution? The recording is of speeches by Uncle Robbie and lawyer Len Linden given after the court proceedings in which the judge acted in a gate-keeping role as Uncle Robbie attempts to expose the system for having no jurisdiction whatsoever. Shedding light on these historical cases is key, especiallly because there is a push to silence them. Find out more at  Crime-scene Australia Website where you can find details of  the cases and recordings of the speeches.  The next case hearing is on Tuesday 10th December at 9.30 am at the Magistrates Court, 233 William Street, Room 4. Come along and bear witness.We listened to the first part of a talk delivered by Santiago-based Historian, Journalist, and Marxist Thinker, Vijay Prashad titled 'National Liberation Marxism & Western Marxism' , on November 1st as part of his Australian tour in collaboration with the Red Ant Collective, an anti-imperialist collective based in Naarm. The talk highlights the ways in which 'western marxism’ has traditionally differed from the Marxism of the Global South (which goes widely unstudied in the west)  and the importance of formulating revolutionary praxis based in theory and action with lessons from actual revolutions which have occured in the Global South. You can find all of Vijay's tour recordings on the Red Ant Website, and you can follow the work of the Tricontinental Research Institute here.We spoke in studio to Mariota from the Refugee Action Collective. She spoke to us about the work RAC are doing in the ongoing campaign for refugee rights in Australia including what's next now that the Naarm encampment at the Department of Home Affairs has wrapped up after 100 consecutive days of 24/7 protest. Mariota spoek to us about Labour's Deportation - the latest in a series of punitive measures targeting the small group of people released from indefinite detention since November 2023. The new measures seek to drastically expand the Government’s powers, allowing it to warehouse people in third countries, reverse protection findings made for refugees, and continue to impose punitive visa conditions on those who remain. Write to your representatives to oppose this bill, and come along to the next Refugee rights rally on International Human Rights Day Tuesday 10 December at 6 pm outside the state library.
