Walk Against Warming: 30,000 in Melbourne

http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/images/cooking2.jpg

More than 30,000 people marched from the Town Hall to
Birrarung Marr in Melbourne on Saturday to demand
urgent action on climate change. A cross section of
groups challenged Victorian political leaders to
commit to reducing Victorian greenhouse emissions by
20% by 2020. The rally was part of a global day of
action against climate change.<a href="

Rally in Solidarity with Oaxaca

image:
http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/images/oaxacarally1b.jpg

A group of around 70 people staged a noisy protest in
Melbourne on Monday to show solidarity with the people
of Oaxaca, Mexico who are currently experiencing
murder, torture and disappearances at the hands of the
Mexican government. Oaxaca has been the scene of a 5
month old campaign to remove a corrupt local governor,
Ulises Ruiz, implicated in the murder of activists and
unionists. In the last week, the President of Mexico,
Vincente Fox, has sent heavily armed police to the
town to forcefully repress demonstrators. Heriberto
Salas from <a href="http://laotra.typepad.com/">The
Other Campaign</a> addressed the crowd calling for
protests against the President of Mexico, Vincente
Fox, who will be in Melbourne for the <a 
href="http://www.stopg20.org/">G20</a> governmental
meeting. [<a

Harry,
The feature is fine, but can the first link in the feature be to the
newswire story. It's okay to repeat the link at the end as [Full Story]

eg
<a
href="http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/129586.php">noisy
protest in Melbourne</a>

Reason: The feature gets syndicated to Oceania.indymedia.org. Google
news picks up the Oceania feature, reads the first link and puts that up
on news.google.com, and sometimes also links directly to the feature.

Gotta love the cockiness of naming a military exercise "Talisman Sabre" - Evil's willing little servants are barely concealing the occult nature of their agendas these days...

Looks good Takver. A couple of typos - "Us-Australian", "Peace and environmental activsits" and "all over the coutnry".

Anyone Can Be a Journalist at G20

Independent Media activists are making it easier for activists to
publish their reports, photos, videos and audio interviews. To encourage
grassroots reporting at G20 protests, an Indymedia mobile media van will
enable people to report from the front lines. Slightly further away, a
media space has been established at RMIT on Swanston Street. [<a

RE: Media Syndication, Promotion an Online Development
Disclaimer: This email and its contents are confidential in nature.

Attention: Indy Media / Oceania team etc.

My name is Elgar Welch and I am a representative of a Sydney based  
media development organisation named Scopical. We are in the process  
of developing a new online media concept to be launched within  
Australia in the first half of 2007. As such, we are currently  
approaching independent media organisations in the hope of obtaining  
support for the development of this concept. We are not asking for  
financial support, but rather support in the form of content and media  
syndication.

The fundamentals of the concept is to provide a nexus of independent  
online content and media for observation and interaction by all  
members of Australian society. The service will be online based and  
available for use by anyone with an internet connection. It's aim is  
to provide a balanced area of political and social debate, whilst also  
providing infrastructure for individual and citizen driven media,  
ultimately allowing for greater interaction and understanding by all.  
This concept does not seek to reduce the audience of your current  
media, but contribute to a larger independent presence within  
Australian media.

We believe that by working in syndication, a more diversified and  
balanced national media could potentially be developed, with further  
promotional opportunities available to contributing partners.
Currently, we are actively working to develop the facilities required  
to operate this concept, which include full interactivity and  
communication from all perspectives. We understand that this approach  
may seem informal, but we would be extremely interested in the  
prospect of meeting or speaking with a member of your team to discuss  
this concept with you further. As this development is fluid, we are  
appealing for as much feedback as possible.

We would greatly appreciate your thoughts and would be happy to send  
further information on this concept for your own reference.

Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.



Yours sincerely,

Street Confrontations at G20 Protest

Protestors were on the offensive again today against the G20 meeting
with some of the most <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130701.php">confrontational
actions</a> of recent times in Australia. 
<p>
The day started at 3.45am when the <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130653.php">police
moved the christian embassy for the poor and the environment</a> out of
sight of the Hyatt Hotel and the visibility of the G20 ministers and
bureaucrats. Reverend Simon Moyle said "Pushed from place to place,
refused representation and ignored, it reveals the bullying nature of
the state's tactics against even peaceful protest."
<p>
A <a href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130800.php">rally
at the State Library</a> drew thousands of people. After speeches the
crowd marched down Swanston, up Bourke street, turning into Russell
street. The crowd was festive, loud, and raucus, wanting to be heard by
those meeting in the Hyatt Hotel. After sometime at the Russell Street
Barricades, many people left this location for other barricades around
the Hotel.
<p>
Read an indymedia <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130685.php">on the
ground report</a>, after which <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130687.php">Police
launched a running attack</a> down Collins St with baton wielding and
attacks on many people. Police then organised to <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130691.php">move on
protestors</a> from Exhibition St, quoting that they are facing an
"insurrection" with a <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130764.php">police
riot truck suffering damage</a>.
<p>
By 8pm a few hundred people were still at the barricades in Russell
Street enjoying a strong party vibe with music.

Tasmania: Protests and arrests continue in Weld Valley Wilderness

Forest defenders halted logging operations on November 20 in the
wilderness forests of the Weld Valley. Three community members were
arrested for trespass in the newly created media and public exclusion
zone. "Today's forest defense continues the success of the last six
days where over a hundred community members have been a part of the
campaign to ensure the world heritage of the Weld Valley are
protected," said Adam Burling, one of the people arrested. [<a

were you going to do a g20 wrap up? I reckon it would be good. we  
need to add some of the issues back in there and try and find out  
what the g20 actually did.

Hey,
missed feature conversation in irc. but i reckon it would be good to  
link to technorati/tags/g20 - lots of blogs there
and also the full engagemedia g20 video page, <http://engagemedia.org/ 
g20> there is about 15 vids there.

also this video 'everything is under control'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etEWLGhTJoY
is also up on EM here
http://engagemedia.org/Members/Brendan/videos/G20_Summit.wmv/view

better to link to that giant mega-media-corps.

Indymedia Feature proposal. Comments or suggestions to improve it?

Image: http://melbourne.indymedia.org/images/200611meditating.jpg
Protest Tactics at G20 and Beyond
<p>
The protests and confrontations at the G20 meeting in Melbourne have
generated thoughtful discussions on protest tactics, in particular: 
<ul>
<li><a href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131508.php">In
the Wake....After the G20</a>
<li><a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131556.php">"Diversity
of Tactics? is a bullshit cop out</a>
</ul>
Others have put forward that it was <a
href="">http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/130927.php">an
exercise in impotence</a> or simply <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131437.php">Futile</a>.
More considered is <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131449.php">g20 and
autonomous 'war' zones</a>.
<p>
Various groups and individuals have contributed including the <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131214.php">Socialist
Party</a>, a <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131481.php">Stop G20
speaker</a>, and a Solidarity <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131670.php">Statement
on the G20 Demonstrations</a>. There is a thoughtful article on <a
href="http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131617.php">A
Space Outside - An Outside (In) Perspective</a> which demystifies one of
the pre-protest organisational focal points. There is even an <a
href="http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/131491.php">ultra left
critique of the Stop G20 organisation. Comparison of tactics between S11
and G20 are being made such as in this <a

Subject: [Imc-melbourne-eds] IMC Feature on Protest Tactics
Message-ID: <200611220616.kAM6GaAo010760@apollo.linuxengine.net>

Hi adam,
there are two levels of involvement in the feature proposed on Protest 
Tactics for Melbourne Indymedia:

1. providing content, such as in an article posted to Melbourne 
Indymedia.
2. input into the editorial feature writing, which is a matter of 
selecting the articles to link to and putting the links into a summary 
context that makes sense and is fairly brief. This is generally done 
by discussion amoung Indymedia editors by email and irc.

If you have specific thought and opinions on tactics of the protest 
(from both protestor and police), the ideal would be to write and post 
them as an article. Use a heading that summarises the content of the 
article, and the summary paragraph should provide an accurate 
introduction and summary to the article content.

I have already forwarded to this list a proposal for the feature, but 
it is likely that it will be modified with links to articles  
published today.

The Feature may go up later tonight, or a feature on Media Coverage 
(written by another Indy editor) may go up. Your welcome to visit us 
on Internet relay chat to talk about the feature or Indy matters.

I should be there in the chat room about 8.30 or 9pm.

Hey, you might even want to join the collective!

the chat room is #melb
if noone is in the #melb chatroom try #oceania 
which is where oz indymedia activists hang out.

Pro-Democracy Riots in Tonga

Pro-democracy movement leaders in Tonga say the system needs to change,
according to a <a

(with photos)</a> by indymedia activists. This comes after <a

broke out in Tonga's capital</a>, Nuku'alofa, on November 16 resulting
in 8 deaths and many <a

ablaze</a>. The riots occurred after a demonstration of 800 people
marched onto parliament with banners calling for immediate reform. Other
banners attacked public figures, and another labeled the current
structure a "deadly virus".

Aboriginal Rock Art under Threat of Development

A proposed $5 billion liquefied natural gas processing plant (LNG)
jointly owned by the largest petrochemical companies in the world and
managed by Woodside Energy Ltd will destroy some of the world's oldest
rock art on the Burrup Peninsula (or Murrijuga by its Indigenous name)
in Western Australia. Michael Anderson, spokesperson for the Gumilaroi
Nation, has accused the Australian and WA Governments of ?not having the
intestinal fortitude to stand against the multi-nationals who seek to
destroy Aboriginal culture? and that aboriginal icons are being
destroyed for profit. [<a

Engaging BHP Billiton Company Board
Activists Pressure BHP over Roxby Mine

Friends of the Earth Brisbane, attending BHP Billiton Annual General
Meeting in Brisbane, say that shareholders have a lot more to lose than
their money if they continue to allow the Olympic dam uranium mine to
operate outside the law. "While they operate outside the law and with no
accountability to environmental and social concerns, the community has
no assurance of culpability for accidents. These exemptions represent a
racist and environmentally irresponsible outcome for the community."

The State and Violence Against Women

State-sponsored violence against women occurs frequently in Australia,
without question. This was only emphasised by the recent police violence
against women at the G20 protests in Melbourne. [<a
