GET IT LIVE - GET IT AT TRADES HALL, the home of conscience culture ...
Bloomsday in Melbourne presents
JAMES JOYCE HITS TRADES HALL; their 9th annual celebration of Ulysses
Bloomsday tramps the worn steps of the Trades Hall to follow the
progress of James Joyce's enterprise bargaining case. Listen to what the
workers at Trades Hall and some from the slums of Dublin have to say to
him. This one-day festival will raise many questions in different media:
theatricals, music, mime, seminar papers, and even in the form of a
musical (Ulysses Cantabile, a musical in four movements) in the evening.
It employs a cast of several dozen professional actors, musicians,
theatre directors, as well as a legion of once-a-year readers. The
seminar will feature papers by Ross McMullin (on the first Labor
government anywhere in the world in Australia in 1904, the auspicious
year of the setting of Ulysses), Jim Cusack (on Union conditions in
Ireland in 1904), and Philip Harvey (on Joyce and work in Ulysses). Time
to Re-Joyce!
from 10:30am until late, Sunday June 16

WEST PAPUA: TROPICAL PARADISE SOAKED IN BLOOD
Public meeting - West Papua is another East Timor.
An eye witness report by Kel Dummett including a slide presentation and
5 minute film screening.
Benny Wenda, West Papuan Resistance Leader & Secretary-General of Koteka
Tribal Assembly, was arrested last Saturday by Indonesain military
forces. Wenda was taken by force without anyone showing him a Letter of
Order or telling him why he was being arrested. His arrest comes after
Papuan resistance leader, Dortheys Hiyo Eluay was kidnapped and
assassinated last year, allegedly by Indonesian Special Forces
(Kopassus).
Indonesia gained control of West Papua in 1963 from its Dutch
colonisers. An estimated 300,000 Papuans have been killed or disappeared
under Indonesian rule. A struggle for independence from Indonesia and
against multinational mining corporations, has been long and ongoing.

is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know but there are
also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know . .
. And each year we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns."
