LL:DDA: Refugee Rights activists converge on Parliament,
February 12, 2002 - Opening of Parliament convergence of refugee activists Plans are underway to converge at Parliament House in ACT (from 8am) to highlight Australia's rotten refugee policy. The idea was originally floated by Rural Aust for Refugees and seems to have been taken up by the NGO network and the Greens. The bulk of the activities are scheduled from 12-2pm. It seems that the NGO network is preparing stunts aimed at grabbing media attention - including a mock trial. Activists from all over Aust can show the polies we'll be following them! Also check out this call for a Royal Commission: http://www.refugee-royal-commission.org Put your name to it!

Remembering 2001 - Inspiring 2002 Monday 17th December
Remembering 2001 - Inspiring 2002 ...with Joy Murphy, Mammad Aidani and Andrea Maksimovic With the media as their mouthpiece, politicans and corporations try to convince us they know what is best. They claim to have the answers - the experience and knowledge to make the best decisions about the way we live. We are expected to forget the past and exist in the present to reach some advertised future. But what about the reality of our lives? Our history, culture, beliefs and experiences make us who we are. Our experiences are diverse and complicated and cannot be commodified into statistics. Our development as people relies on an understanding of our own and others experiences and the creation of a society that doesn't market our lives. For an evening of looking back at 2001 and forward to 2002, join the discussion as three people reflect on their experiences of 2001, highlight moments that impacted and inspired their lives and share with us some of their visions for 2002. 7.30pm Monday 17 December Trades Hall Bar co-inciding with the final screening of SKATV's Access News: a special doco on 3CR's celebrations of 25 years of community radio...and in the spirit of the season, hang around and wind up another year of productive activism! -- -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink

LL:INFO: Single mothers and disabled people under attack!
The next International Women's Day Collective meeting is going to examine the latest horrific attack the government is brining down against single mothers and disabled people. The McClure report on Welfare has been out in the public domain for many months but the government has been putting off launching the concrete proposals of the reactionary report for fear of a community backlash. Just weeks before Christmas Jocelyn Newman came out saying the government does plan to place disabled people and single mothers under a lot more scrutiny; placing them under the equivalent "work for the pension" schemes unemployed people are under. Single mums are to have meetings with Centrelink when their child is 6 to see if they are undergoing proper training for jobs. Then when the child is 13 another meeting will be scheduled and the pressure applied for mums to get a job, any job. (Never mind 13 year olds need attention after school, or picking up from school, or driving to sport, or feeding etc). But then those pesky women should have never chosen the road or single motherhood: should they? Newman didn't detail what would happen to women who refused the meetings or didn't get jobs at the appropriate moments but thanks to the experience of thousands of unemployed people being penalised or thrown off all together for "breaches"we can use our imagination and guess what might happen. Disabled people face perhaps even scarier times ahead. Government doctors are to put disabled people under review, with no documentation from the persons personal doctor they will assess what work, and how much work the disabled person is up for. Breaches and such incentives would eventuate. No doubt government doctors could deem disabled people "not disabled" and throw them off altogether. When one considers the government is throwing billions of money into defence spending when we have no enemies and throwing millions of dollars ($100 million from Howard, $60 million from Bracks at last count) at Holden and other rich companies while attacking the most vulnerable of our society, single mums and the disabled we have to conclude this government has got it's priorities wrong. That's putting it nicely. Give money to the rich and screw the poor harder is this government's motto. The anti-woman rampage Labor and Liberal government's went on condemning single mum's and lesbians as being "irresponsible" if they wanted to bring children without a father was an attempt to lay the ideological grounds for an attack on single mum's pensions. They should be with men, will be the cry of government ministers in response to protests. Melb International Women's Day Collective will hold a talk about the McClure report on Jan 11th, 6pm at YWCA 2nd Floor, 489 Elizabeth St, City. Women only. We'll be discussing ideas for action against the government's attacks and we want you to be there! If we don't fight we lose!

LL:DDV: Action to Protest Killing of Iraqi Women!
Pls pass this message onto all email lists you are on and get lots of people to turn up to the protest action on Sat (details below) * STOP PRESS* STOP PRESS* STOP PRESS* STOP PRESS* 200 IRAQI WOMEN BEHEADED. PROTEST ORGANISED! In the previous three weeks over 200 women have been beheaded by the Ba'ath regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Special military forces, led By U'day Hussein, the older son of Saddam, accused these women of sex crimes and subsequently beheaded them in front of their families. All the women were decapitated with swords and their heads were publicly displayed on the door at the entrance of their homes for several days. Since Saddam's regime seized power, it has engaged in war with neighbouring countries, attempted genocide and ruthlessly repressed the Iraqi people. While 6000 children have died as a result of the UN Economic Sanctions, the Hussein regime has spent billions on building mosques and palaces. The inhumane economic sanctions against Iraq by the United Nations have only stabilised Hussein's power and created extreme poverty for its citizens. The economic crisis has forced many women to sell their bodies to feed their families. For the Hussein regime to now murder them is deliberate scapegoating of the victims of its own repressive reign. Why are these women being executed now? The Hussein regime is initiating a new wave of terror. Prior to the murders Saddam spoke on national TV stating that all of Iraq's problems can be traced back to women as they take men's jobs, wear short dresses and lipstick. He ordered these women to be kept in the home to raise families. The murder of the sex-workers is a populist act to try and deflect blame of the regime onto its most vulnerable citizens. At the same time these murders are enacted to intimidate the Iraqi citizens. Many of the women who were beheaded were falsely accused of sex-crimes, such as one progressive doctor who opposed the regime. By nailing her head over her doorway a warning is sent to other progressive and democracy activists. At the same time that 200 women were murdered, 100 political prisoners were also murdered. The two actions are a political purge of the progressive anti-Hussein movement in Iraq. We call on all Melburnians to participate in a rally outside the United Nations Association, 179 St. Georges Rd. North Fitzroy, at noon next Saturday, 25th November. We Demand: 1. That the UN Condemn the Killings of the Iraqi Regime! 2. The Australian Government Protest and Condemn the Killings! 3. That the UN Lift the Devastating Economic Sanctions On Iraq. 4. That the Australian Government Open It's Borders and Free the Refugees in Detention Camps! Call Surma Hamid on 0402 323 199 or Rachel/ Margarita on 9639 8622 for more information.

LL:REM: Free the Refugees! Fri 6pm GPO, City
Pls note the change in time for this rally. Wsa previously 5pm. Is now going to be at 6pm. Hope to see you there, Rach RALLY TO SUPPORT PROTESTING WOOMERA REFUGEES! FRIDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 6PM G.P.O, BOURKE ST. MALL, CITY Free all the Refugees! Full Legal and Welfare Rights for all Refugees! Stop the Racist Scapegoating! Resistance and the Democratic Socialist Party have called a protest action to support the protests of the refugees at Woomera and other detention centers. The recent desperate protests by asylum seekers at Woomera Detention Centre are another indication of the inhumane conditions faced by people seeking refuge in Australia. Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock's threat of jail sentences for the protesting asylum seekers is bitterly ironic. These asylum seekers, having fled war torn countries, in some cases facing torture and having lost relatives to brutal repression, already face a virtual jail from the time they arrive. Australia is the only country in the world to mandatorily detain asylum seekers who are unable to obtain papers. These human beings (Ruddock tries to dehumanise them by calling them "illegals") often have no chance to obtain visas, yet are left to rot in remote detention centres, sometimes for several years. One guard from the detention centre described the protestors as "like a pack of wild animals". Yet most animals are treated far better than these people. Imagine the frustration of risking your life to flee brutal conditions, and having finally made it, finding yourself and your family, children included, locked up indefinitely. These people need compassion, not further jail and further trauma. Lawyers from Woomera indicate that those protesting have not been allowed even to apply for refugee status. They have been detained since November last year, and have been denied access to legal advice and have no idea of their rights. They are afraid of deportation to possible death. This is not only arbitrary but indefinite detention. Resistance and the Democratic Socialist Party calls on the Federal Government to immediately free the refugees from this inhuman incarceration. Increased funding should be spent not on barbed wire fences and water canons, but on settlement services for refugees - counselling, language and employment programs, housing and health services. All refugees must have the right to permanent residency. This is the only human solution. The rally is also endorsed by Friends of the Earth (Melbourne) and National Union of Students, Victorian Women's Department.

LL:ART: Green Left Weekly: Why Howard hates sole mothers and lesbians
http://www.greenleft.org.au Why Howard hates sole mothers and lesbians BY LISA MACDONALD When Prime Minister John Howard announced on August 2 that the federal government would move to allow states to outlaw single women's and lesbians' access to in vitro fertilisation (IVF), he was at great pains to emphasise that this was neither discrimination nor an attack on women's right to reproductive choice. Rather, he claimed, it was an assertion of "the fundamental right of a child within our society to have a reasonable expectation ... of the care and affection of both a mother and a father". With these carefully chosen words Howard appealed to the widespread idea -- that children are better off with two parents, even if this is not always possible -- in order to undermine another widely supported idea: that women have a right not to be discriminated against. The Howard government's family policy since it was elected in 1996 shows that his trumpeting of the rights of the child is utterly fake. If Howard and his colleagues were genuinely concerned about children's right to a healthy, happy upbringing, they would not have cut welfare and social services funding, or facilitated real wage cuts, or be privatising education and health care or undermining the Family Court. And they would have acknowledged governmental responsibility for the stolen generations of Aboriginal children. Howard's new-found concern for children's rights is cover for his old concern: to roll back as rapidly as possible public acceptance of ideas and rights which undermine the dominance of the "married with children" form of family. _ Public spending_ To strengthen the nuclear family, Howard has a lot of work to do. Since the end of World War II, the marriage rate in Australia has been steadily decreasing. And although fewer people are getting married, there has been a steady increase in the number of divorces, most of them initiated by women. A growing proportion of women are having fewer children, later in life, or are not having children at all, and they're doing this in order to spend less time at home, outside the labour market. These trends, which are occurring in all developed countries, pose a growing problem for the capitalist class, which has always relied on the family to cover the bulk of the costs and labour involved in generating and regenerating the work force. With more women having to spend more time in waged work because they do not live in a nuclear family, there is more pressure on the state to provide many of the services that women have traditionally provided unpaid at home (child-care, aged care, health care and so on). Since more public spending on social services means less on subsidising corporate profits, a major plank in the neo-liberal economic program being implemented around the world today is to drastically reduce spending on public services and push as much as possible of that service provision onto individuals within the "private" domain of the family home. But after decades of an expanding welfare system, moves to erode it meet resistance, even if only at the ballot box. Young people quite rightly object to being forced to live with their parents beyond the age of 16 simply because there are no jobs. Grandparents object to being rendered unpaid carers of yet another generation because their children can't get community care for their children. Women object to having to leave the work force because they can no longer get good quality care for their aged or disabled relatives. Certainly, the government can take initiatives like Howard's "national families strategy", announced in June 1999, which allocates $16.5 million to relationship support services, including a trial of marriage preparation courses for 2000 engaged couples. But such measures are just tinkering around the edges; they're constantly undermined by women's unwillingness to give up the real gains -- legal, economic and social -- that they have made over the last 30 years. Those gains include majority acceptance of the idea that women are entitled to equality at home and at work, so Howard and Co. cannot insist that women return to economic dependence, physical isolation and reproductive slavery without paying a big political price. First they have to build support for traditional gender roles and relations. The government is approaching this task from a number of angles. It is using the "men's rights" movement as a battering ram against feminist ideas: last September, it approved two $50,000 grants over two years to the Lone Fathers Association to develop a peak body to advocate for "fathers' rights". At the same time, it is targeting more vulnerable women for legislative and economic attack: migrants, sole mothers, lesbians, women on welfare, etc. _Sole mothers_ At the top of Howard's target list are sole mothers. The government's punitive approach to women with
LL:DDV: Right-2-Life Conference ACTION
From: "Jonathan Wilkinson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Calling all VIC activists: The 'Right to Life' people are holding their national conference THIS SATURDAY in Melbourne to propagate their standard views which undermine womyn's self determination and perpetuate myths about the social 'disabilities' of lesbian and single mothers. The 'Right to Life' lobby consistently argues for a nuclear family model which priviledges patriarchal and conservative Christian and political structures, and views anything else as sinful. The recent IVF debacle is sure to be on the agenda for Saturday. DETAILS: CCWN have called an action for 9am on Saturday at Genazzano College, Cotham Road, Kew. Meet at 9am in the Park behind the Kew Traffic school off Cotham and Grange Roads. Take Tram 109 or 42 to Cotham Rd from the City. There is a final planning meeting (for womyn only) at 5pm in the RMIT womyn's room Bld 12.4 (near rmiTV)this Friday. For details, contact Natasha Moore (W.O) on 9925 2055 or Jordy Hunter (NUS) on 0412 291 377 All womyn and progressive men are called to arms!

LL:DDV: Urgent Protest Action; End Discrimination In the Use of IVF!
Melb: Urgent Protest Action; End Discrimination In the Use of IVF! End Discrimination In the Use of IVF! Stop Discriminating Against Lesbians and Single Women! Stop the Government's Homphobic Backlash! Free, Safe, Accessible Access to all Reproductive Technologies! The Howard government is attempting to introduce legislation that will prevent single women and lesbians from accessing IVF in states which already attempt to discriminate. A Melbourne Court ruled on Friday that Victoria's state law breached the federal Sex Discrimination Act by excluding single women and lesbians access to IVF technology. The State Labor Bracks government said they would stand by the courts ruling and open up IVF access. The Liberal Party has unleashed a torrent of homophobic and anti-woman diatribe to justify it's discriminatory policy, which it needs Labor and the Democrats to pass. Howard says it's not homophobic to deny IVF access to lesbian women. Or to lambast them publicly for not having a father to bring up the kids. And the government isn't anti- single mothers, it just doesn't want them to have any children! We know better! This government's crusade against lesbian and single mum's is part of their concerted attempt to shove women back to the 1950's. To keep women in the nuclear heterosexual family, looking after hubbie, caring for the children, doing all the domestic chores from free, as is their "natural" role. This government wants to wind back the ideological and practical gains won feminism: child-care funding has been cut, women's services are being squeezed, abortion rights are under attack, sex workers in WA are under unprecedented attack and so on. And all these attacks are justifyed because " a woman's place is in the home"; laboring unpaid and unrecognized. This recent attacks are part of this attempt to wind back feminist ideas and gains. And we won't accept it! Women, regardless of their sexuality or marital status should have access to reproductive technology. Single women and lesbians, and gay male couples should have the freedom to make reproductive choices without fear of discrimination or public attack. The Labor Party's response to the issue is woefully inadequate. They should come out against all forms of discrimination against gays, lesbians and women. Instead they've made no concrete promise to block Howard's IVF Discrimination Legislation and in a unconvincing sidestepping move argue we should all just concern ourselves with interest rate rises! The rally has been called by Resistance and the Democratic Socialist Party. It has been endorsed by Friends of the Earth (Melbourne), Melbourne Uni Student Union's Queer, Women's, Education, and Environment Department, amongst others, are organising an action to protest this latest round of attacks on gays and lesbian and women. It's at 5:30 Monday August 7 at the G.P.O cnr Bourke St and Flinders St, Melbourne. Ring Melbourne Resistance Office for more information on 9639 6288. Be there! Pls pass this on.

LL:DD: Regional day of protest against Elian's kidnapping
Regional day of protest against Elian's kidnapping Socialist parties in the Asian region have called for February 17 to become a day of regionally coordinated protest actions against the kidnapping of six-year-old Elian Gonzalez (see article on page 21). The United States government and the right-wing Cuban emigre community in Miami refuse to return Elian to his father in Cuba, defying the laws of the United States, natural human justice, and the overwhelming sentiment of the Cuban people, the majority of the US population, and worldwide opinion. The Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) and Resistance in Australia, the Socialist Party of Labour in the Philippines and the Labour Party Pakistan have all put their names to the call. "We need to step up international pressure on the US government to end this outrageous kidnapping", said DSP national secretary John Percy. "The basic demand of the protests would be simple: Return Elian Gonzalez to his home now!" In Australia, actions for Elian on February 17 have been confirmed in: Canberra: 5.30pm, US embassy, 21 Moonah Place, Yarralumla.

LL:AA: EAST TIMOR ACTIONS AROUND AUSTRALIA
Emergency Action for East Timor.! International Solidarity CAN Save lives!!! The Indonesian Military is behind the militias attacks on the UN and on pro-independence East Timorese. They want to drive out all foreign observers so that a thorough attack on pro-independence activists and on the population as a whole, can be waged. The Indonesian government can then "reinvade" East Timor with force, claiming to put an end to the civil war... The UN, Australia and the US have been playing down the Indonesian military and militia link, and their violence, because they are firm friends with the brutal Suharto/Habbibie regime. A huge outpouring of people's anger in Australia, will put the pressure on the Australian government to stop military aid to Indonesia, stop training of Indonesian troops (joint military exercises have just started for this year somewhere near Darwin) and show the Indonesian government that the world community will organise against it's attacks on the Timorese.

LL:DDV: Premiere Screening of EARTH, by Deepa Mehta
Premiere Screening of EARTH, a film by Deepa Mehta (producer of Fire). A fundraiser for Green Left Weekly. With opening speakers Lynette Dumble: India Solidarity Activist and Global Women's Network. Reihana Mohideen: Philippines Socialist Labour Party SEPT 16, 7pm@ CINEMA NOVA Lygon St Carlton. $12/ $9 Conc. Ph 9329 1320 for info and tickets... EARTH is set in Lahore in 1947 on the eve of India's partition into Hindu and Muslim states and tells the story of Lenny, a little girl from the Intellectual Parsee class (originally from Persia) and her beloved Ayah (or nanny) Shanta. This beautiful Hindu woman (Nandita Das) attracts many suitors of different religious persuasions and for a time, her admirers personify ethnic and religious tolerance. But history sweeps into the lives of Lenny, her affluent "neutral" parents, and the young Ayah, forcing them to make painful choices about their allegiances. Ultimately the film is a meditation, both tragic and deeply felt, on the cost of ethnic cleansing. It is also a love story. Mehta asks us to examine the way religious intolerance is manipulated at great cost. This is the work of great cinematic talent.
