Resistance has called a Rally against Carr's new laws which will give police even more power to harass young people. Those not in school are required to have a permission card - police will be entitled to demand to see this card, and, if it not produced, will be able to throw young people in paddy wagons to 'escort' them back to school, or home. A particularly venomous way this law could be used, would be to round up high school students taking political action, such as the tremendous High School Walkouts against Racism organised by Resistance last year. Say no to the Law and Order Auction - Real solutions to social problems, not scapegoating! No to increased police powers! No to victimisation of migrants and Aborigines! RALLY AT SYDNEY TOWN HALL 2pm Saturday February 13 Speakers include: Tim Anderson, secretary of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties (and no stranger to police harassment) Bev Barker, Parents and Citizens Association plus Resistance high school students, migrant and Aboriginal activists. MARCH ON STATE PARLIAMENT Sydney West Resistance is organising a Speakout in Parramatta Mall at 12noon on Sat 20th Feb against the truancy laws and the general law and order hype. RESISTANCE IS ALSO COLLECTING NAMES OF STUDENTS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN A MASS TRUANCY IN PROTEST TO THE NEW LAWS....
