Queers in Solidarity with Palestinian Resistance Interrupt Labor Float in Mardi Gras
At tonight's Mardi Gras, a group of trans and queer activists intervened in the parade to protest the Labour Party and their complicity in the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. As the Labour Party float passed by at Taylor Square, they held banners that read "QUEER SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE"
and released green, red, white
and black smoke effects.
NSW Police arrested 9 protestors. Protestors endured physical violence from the police and have sustained injuries.
Police and media reports are alleging that protestors released flares, which are illegal in NSW. But this is not true. Protestors released smoke effects which are legal in NSW, and are regularly used at events such as weddings, gender reveals, parties, and protest marches.

Another community blockade at Webb Dock in Melbourne, blocking and preventing the loading of a ZIM-contracted MSC ship, with all work at the port being disrupted for the evening shift.
Similar to the previous community blockade, dozens of Public Order Response Team (PORT) were deployed outfitted in riot control gear including shields. Rubber bullets, tear gas rounds and flash bangs were used extensively against the protesters. This 'force of numbers' approach towards protests has become all too common in Victoria.
Not to be outdone nor deterred, protesters also stepped up their tactics, establishing makeshift barricades to halt the advance of the cops and to prolong the blockade for as long as possible.

Improved electoral placards for politicians from the Liberal and Labor Party, hung up around Hobart before the Tasmanian State election which took place yesterday.
The election marked another day of an increasingly disenfranchised public being made to choose between a gang of increasingly blatant evils. The Libs will kill the earth and Labour will do the same whilst declaring a climate emergency. Both major parties have left Tasweigians without affordable housing, without healthcare, with the worst education system in the country. Both major parties remain complicit in gen0cide while they grovel for your votes and their huge taxpayer funded pensions.
Our dreams will never fit into their ballot boxes. Change happens in our homes and in our streets. Look after your community, take grassroots action.
Love, rage, solidarity and resistance

ANONYMOUS PEOPLE HELP EGG LAYING CHICKENS FREE FROM A FARM.
18th March, Midlands UK.
βSneaking past houses and fields we arrived at the chicken shed we had previously scouted and opened the door. Immediately the heat and stench hit us in the face as we stepped into the darkness. Broken eggshells crunched underfoot and our torches illuminated cages covered in a thick layer of dust, cobwebs and shit. Filled with cramped chickens covered in bald patches with combs so pale they were almost white.
We took as many as we could carry. We did this action for them but we write this report for you. This movement is what we make it, make it one where chickens being liberated in the night is so common its barely worth mentioning. Where farmers wake up to find towers of eggs smashed and equipment broken on the daily. Where insurers wonβt insure butcher shops because windows will never last long.

This independently made documentary follows the three day Asia Pacific Economic Summit (World Economic Forum) held at Melbourneβs Crown Casino from September 11-13, 2000 and the events that took place between the S-11 protesters and the Victorian Police during those three days.
The camera has captured some rather up-close and disturbing images of the physical violence dealt by the police to the protesters, particularly in the first two days of the Summit.
It was estimated that over 10,000 protesters managed to prevent 150-200 participants from attending the Summit on Day 1.
