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

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
