New Australian Peace initiative leads way to democratic action
A major people's Inquiry into the costs and consequences of the US Alliance and Australian involvement in US-led wars has been launched. Why is this inquiry so different?

Do we really need The Economy? Article by Sally Pepper
In this article, Sally Pepper proposes that there is an economy with a small 'e' and The Economy with a big 'E'.

Frankston Green Wedges wins against Cr Hampton's motion for development
Book Review of Ruby Hamad's White Tears Brown Scars, MUP, 2019.
This book aims to talk truth to power, using intersectionalist feminist concepts, within the strange paradigm of the corporate newsmedia [1] and US-NATO foreign policy.

"People have a right to a say in the character of their street, and their neighbourhood. The principle of subsidiarity, of devolving power to the lowest practical level, is important.

Fix Our Politics
For the 80% of us in the sensible centre of Australian life
Website: www.sensiblecentre.org.au
We think both Right and Left have failed to empower ordinary citizens and instead created a political and managerial class that puts its own interests before the community and national interest. We also think that about 80% of Australians are of the same mind.

Sustainable Australia Party fights the population ponzi

3 Groups censor the rest on population numbers at Planning Backlash Rally 8 June 2017
The Minister for Planning has publicly insisted [1] that Victoria has to fit 10 million people in Victoria with four more million in Melbourne and that that is the reason for the planning dictatorship he is trying to force on Victorians.

Trump just pulled out of TPP - Will rioters and MSM take note or just pretend it didn't happen?
Trump has just done something good. WhiteHouse.gov has announced, via President Trump, that the TPP deal will no longer have the United States as a participant.

"It's not often you hear about something like that happening. The man who called Donald Trump a 'would-be dictator' got bearish after the President Elect's victory in November and lost nearly a billion dollars.
