international / anti-capitalism Friday July 22, 2005 - 06:31 by Wayne
In the small rural town of Maleny , Queensland, Aus, where the Platypus swim, and Co-operative enterprise is at the second highest on the planet, the largest shareholder of the retail market, Woolworths, bulldozes it`s way into a community that opposes the development by 79%. The developer with the aid of 160 police, began to excavate a site on a bend in Obi Obi creek, containing high populations of platypus. Some are calling for a Boycott on Woolworths, or any of their companies due to this, and the undermining of fruit and vegetable growers by stocking imported goods instead. This is a fine example of how Big Business gets a hand from the state. ... read full story / add a comment

What a farce - Minister Dempsey appropiated the Proclamation of 1916, Shackelton the explorer, JFK, Oscar Wilde et al to support his treatise that the sons of destiny are visionaries! He managed to waffle his way talking about the past instead of 'managing the future' as the MacGill Summer School is titled. The Joe Mulholland, the chair, allowed him to frantically scribble notes while numerous people posed their questions - then the Minister just waffled a few replies and kept harking back to 1916 - as if the people in 1916 would have sold out the West! Various speakers from Rossport posed questions which he didn't answer and the local Donegal people were disgusted at him talking about the gret economy we have when there is so much unemployment in Donegal and heckling ensued - at which point the chair was going to put an end to the proceedings - then Pearse Doherty pointed out that there are exploration licenses pending Donegal which should be rethought in the face ... read full story / add a comment

The so-called investigation into the death of Donegal man Richie Barron has turned out to be a cesspool of all that is rotten and corrupt about our police force; harassment, intimidation and attempts to frame the McBrearty family.

This morning members of the Finglas Anti-Bin Tax Campaign, along with residents of the McKelvey Estate, ensured that all bins were collected in that estate. The City Council, unable to impose blanket non-collection because of the fact that the bin tax arrears are subject to an upcoming Supreme Court test case, have resorted to trying to impose non-collection of unregistered bins in various areas of the city. FABTC members and local residents monitored the collection in McKelvey estate and ensured that all bins, including unregistered ones were collected. This was done with due care to the health and safety of all concerned. The action was good humoured and was carried out with consideration for the difficult position the refuse workers find themselves in. Once again proof that the anti-bin tax campaign is alive and well in Finglas! ... read full story / add a comment

The General 'Good-morning, good-morning!' the General said When we met him last week on our way to the line. Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead, And we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine. 'He's a cheery old card,' grunted Harry to Jack As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack. But he did for them both by his plan of attack. -Siegfried Sassoon. ... read full story / add a comment

A major bombshell was dropped on us An Post workers last Thursday, July 14TH when what we though was a Labour Court hearing about the fact that us An Post workers have still not received our pay increases under the "Sustaining Progress” pay deal going back to November 1ST 2003; was instead we were informed; that instead that The Labour Court had linked the payment of Sustaining Progress to the Collection and Delivery Agreement that is outstanding with the CWU! In other words, no one gets anything until this issue is resolved! ... read full story / add a comment
