IN A TIME OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT - TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT
- GEORGE ORWELL


TRADE PRACTICES ACT, WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT and CRIMES ACT

The Federal and Victorian State government, Patrick's Stevedoring and
the National Farmers Federation are in the process of laying a legal
trap for the Maritime Union of Australia.  Anybody who still believes
that workers have the right to withdraw their labour in Australia only
has to look at what's happening to Maritime Union members at Webb Dock
in Melbourne to understand that the Trade Practises Act, The Workplace
Relations Act and the Crimes Act are the tools that are being used to
deny workers the right to remove their labour.

The Federal government and the Victorian State government have broken
their own laws and have entered into a cosy financial agreement with
Patricks Stevedoring at taxpayers expense.  Tens of millions of
taxpayers dollars have been earmarked to bankroll the National Farmers
Federations attempts to destroy the Maritime Union of Australia.  The
establishment of a N.F.F. Stevedoring arm at Webb Dock is a transparent
attempt by the corporate sector to break what little power trade unions
still have in this country.

The Webb Dock dispute is the beginning of a long dispute that involves
the Federal government, the Victoria State government, the Stevedoring
industry, private security goon squads, the Australian army, the
A.C.T.U., protesters, the Victorian Trades and Labour Council, the
Courts, the corporate sector and the mass media.  An overwhelming array
of forces have been directed against the remnants of a once proud and
strong Trade Union Movement.

Currently the Maritime Union of Australia is playing the employers game,
using the employers rules to try to side step legal action.  Sooner or
later this dispute will turn ugly and will end up in the courts. 
Looking at the array of charges that can be laid against workers for
removing their labour, the time has come for these laws to be challenged
head on.  The laws have been enacted to intimidate workers and workers
organisations.  Workers can choose to be intimidated or they can meet
these laws head on.

Sooner or later, when the legal processes have been exhausted, maritime
workers face the prospect of having their union bankrupted, their houses
sold under their very noses to pay for the employers losses and possible
imprisonment for daring to remove their labour.   Whether the state is
able to criminalise legitimate workplace action, to a large degree
depends on the mobilisation of public opinion.  Historically Australians
have not been impressed when workers are financially penalised and
jailed for removing their labour.  Every time this have occurred
Australians have mobilised to force the government of the day to repeal
these laws.  The struggle on the wharves is in an early embryonic stage,
how it develops doesn't depend on the actions of the Federal government
and the N.F.F.  It hinges on the amount of support that can be generated
among the Australian people.

REALLY JEFFREY!!

Jeffrey (Glib) Kennett has to be heard to be believed.  Last week the
media broke the news that his wife had had enough.  She had moved out of
their love nest in Surrey Hills and moved to a Melbourne Bayside
apartment she had recently purchased.  Kennett appeared on the media
asking people to protect their privacy.  The next day he publicly blames
the A.L.P. and his political enemies for driving his wife out of their
marital nest.  As the week drew to a close, Felicity Kennett maintained
her silence while Jeffrey (Glib) Kennett let all and sundry know the
political pressures drove his wife away.

It's common knowledge among media outlets that the marriage breakdown is
a personal not a political matter.  Kennett has attempted to generate
publicity for his political career by dragging the separation into the
political arena.  He will do anything even use the breakdown of his own
marriage to generate sympathy for his political programs.  Well Jeffrey,
it's not going to rub off, few people really care about your marriage
breakdown, even fewer of us will shed a tear for your plight.

If you feel like shedding a tear, think about the tens of thousands of
Victorian couples whose marriages have broken down courtesy of the
Kennett regimes, education, hospital, Workcover, privatisation
compulsory competitive tendering and a myriad of other policies that
have caused redundancies, despair and divorce.  Kennett and his cronies
are beginning to reap the seed they have sown.  Very few Victorians are
going to shed a tear for Kennett, most are hoping they have the courage
to emulate Felicity Kennett's example and drive Jeffrey (Glib) Kennett
out of public life, back into the advertising sector:- a marriage made
in heaven.

SYMBOLISM NOT SUBSTANCE

Anybody who witnessed the opening of the Constitutional Convention on
Monday can't help but be disappointed with the exceptionally narrow
scope of this "once in a hundred year opportunity".  Anybody who
believed that the Convention was a historical opportunity to move beyond
a debate about symbols, would have been sorely disappointed with the
debate.  The Constitutional Convention will never rise above a debate
about symbols, the major political parties will do what they can to bury
any debate that has the semblance of substance.

That dreary little man, our beloved Prime Minister has promised that if
the Constitutional Convention reaches a consensus on a preferred
republican model, he will put it to the people in a referendum.  If the
delegates do not reach a consensus he will hold a nonbinding plebiscite
to determine what republican model the Australian people prefer. 
Unfortunately for Australian electors the Liberal/National Party not the
Constitutional Convention will formulate the exact wording of the motion
or motions that will go to a referendum or plebiscite.

Steve Reghenzani and myself ran on a platform of A New Constitution for
a New Millennium.  We encourage all electors to boycott the proposed
referendum or plebiscite unless the questions deal with substance not
symbolism.  We don't need symbolic changes to the Australian
Constitution, we don't need a new preamble or for that matter, A Bill of
Rights.  We need a new egalitarian principles of association.

Any referendum or plebiscite that does not tackle the question about
whether we need a New Constitution is really a waste of everybody's
time.  As we approach the 21st Century we should forget about symbolic
changes and concentrate our efforts on creating conditions that bring
about substantive changes.

ZERO POLLUTION

Have you heard about the car that runs on compressed air? No joke,
Citroen is about to launch a zero pollution compressed air urban vehicle
in Mexico City next year.  The Mexican government has entered a
partnership with Citroen to produce 80,000 vehicles to replace its taxi
fleet.  Mexico City is the most polluted city on this planet, the
introduction of 80,000 vehicles that run on compressed air should have a
major effect on pollution levels in Mexico City.

I stumbled on this major technological innovation when I was flicking
through the Ages motoring section.  A few columns that had been
reprinted from the Guardian was my first introduction to this earth
shattering news.  You'd think a technological innovation that creates
zero pollution, and that has the potential to make the worlds most
persistent polluter - the oil industry redundant, would  make the front
pages of every newspaper on this planet.  If the information I've seen
is correct we are on the verge of a revolution that's just as important
as Guttenberg's printing press and the first computer chip.

An industry that causes more than 50% of the worlds pollution is about
to enter the dustbin of history - or is it?  A car that runs on
compressed air could be one of the major solutions that's needed to help
decrease pollution levels.  Whether such a vehicle is mass produced will
to a large degree depend on the strength of a few transnational
corporations.  Technology is not value free, it's laden with values. 
What innovations are developed to a large degree depends on who controls
production and marketing processes.

A vehicle that runs on compressed air is a major challenge to almost all
of the worlds major corporations.  Whether such a vehicle gains
universal acceptance has more to do with the marketing strategies of a
limited number of transnational corporations than any intrinsic values
that a car that runs on compressed air has.

THANK GOD FOR SADAM HUSSEIN

Bill Clinton must be thanking his God that he can trot out Sadam Hussein
when ever he's troubled by domestic or international political
considerations.  If things are going tough, trot out the old Sadam
Hussein doll and stick a few pins in it, works every time!!  With
predictable regularity Sadam pops up whenever slick Willie has a bit too
much on his plate.

Its been happening so often lately, you can't help wondering whether
Bill is paying his old mate Sadam a retainer to stick out his head on
cue, every time something goes wrong for slick Willy.  I'm sure Bill
prays every night to his lord begging him to blow up the Sadam Hussein
doll.  It seems to work every time, especially on Republican house
leader, Newt Gingrich.

OBITUARY - John Brink

John Brink, anti-apartheid and social justice activist died on Christmas
Eve - he had just turned 77.  John had been suffering from Altzeimers
disease for several, perhaps many, years, but his mental condition began
to decline  drastically at the end of November.
John and his wife and companion, Margaret, grew up in South Africa and
were prominent amongst the minority of whites who embraced the struggle
against apartheid and racism in the 1950's.

As a protest against the Sharpeville massacre (21 March 1960), the
President of the ANC, Chief Albert Luthull burned his pass-book, while
residing at the Brik's home.  Luthull and John were amongst the 18,000
people detained in the nationwide security crackdown.  When John was
released after 3 months in jail - without charge or trial - only to be
placed under a banning order, John and Margaret migrated to Australia in
order to raise their 4 kids, but also to continue the fight against
apartheid.

They helped establish the South Africa Defence and Aid Fund (SADAF), to
raise money to support political prisoners and their families in South
Africa, and to expose the apartheid system to the Australia public. 
Under John's leadership, SADAF put out a newsletter, organised campaigns
and held public meetings - often sponsoring tours by the likes of Robble
Resha (ANC), Judith Todd (Rhodesia) and Dennis Brutus (South African
Non-Racial Olympic Committee - SANROC), Brutus was one of the organisers
of what proved to be the highly effective international sports boycott.

John as a pacifist demonstrated to others the efficiency of non-violent
strategies of social change.  The social ostracism of apartheid in South
Africa, through the growing travel, cultural, educational and sports
boycotts led on to the eventually crippling economic effects of the
international trade sanctions.  John threw himself into the sports
boycott and was influential, for instance in convincing Wallabies like
Jim Boyce and Anthony Abrahams to refuse to play - to 'build bridges
with' - an apartheid-Springbok team.

John was also involved in opposing racism in Australia, working for
instance with Faith Bandler on the 1967 Aboriginal referendum.  Other
movements close to John's heart included Amnesty and Community Aid
Abroad (CAA).  Not only did John help generate CAA's Southern Africa
grouping, its newsletter, etc. but he was on one of CAA's most reliable
- and found - 'walkers' Against Want.  It wasn't just the way John could
walk-that-extra-mile-for freedom, equality and justice, but his list of
sponsors was always so huge!
In response to John's non-violent activism he received numerous death
threats and in 1984 the Bvrink's home was attacked with a petrol bomb.

But John was much more than an exemplary political activist - not that
being an agitator, 'troublemaker' or freedom-fighter isn't one of the
highest vocations...

John appreciated the pleasures of living - he understood the joys and
happiness beyond racism, poverty, oppression, etc. John had a lust for
life, for making you feel welcome, for bringing out the best in each of
us.  He loved playing-with-words, as a way of playing-with-people.  Once
John got started on a song or a story, it sure was hard to stop him.

As a pacifist, Catholic, anarchist and Communist, John believed in
people's innate goodness, and inspired so many of us to keep our eyes on
the prize, to fight for the things that make life worth living.

ANARCHIST QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q. What types of campaigns should anarchists become involved in?

A. Every and any.  Some anarchists work on the premise that they should
only involve themselves in workplace struggles, community struggles or
struggles that involve a significant number of people.  As anarchist
activists we should look at everything that's happening around us.  In
terms of getting ideas across, sometimes involvement in a small local
struggle can be more effective than involvement in a mass struggle where
the agenda is controlled by a central committee.

If possible try to become involved in the very beginning of a campaign. 
The structures that are formed at the beginning can and do influence the
course and conduct of a campaign.  An exclusive campaign that's run by a
few people normally peters out before an inclusive campaign that invites
and encourages local participation.  A local planning struggle or a
campaign to install a set of traffic lights can in the long run be more
productive than a much bigger campaign whose agenda is determined by a
central executive.

What types of campaigns we as individuals or groups become involved in,
is not determined by the issue or size of the struggle but by our levels
of energy and resources.  It's better to become actively involved in a
few well organised struggles then trying to become involved in
everything going, possibly achieving nothing.  Anarchism is a personal
and political philosophy that extends across all aspect of daily
living.  As human beings we can use authoritarian or non-authoritarian
methods of organisation.  How a struggle is conducted determines the
outcome.  Even if a struggle or a campaign is lost (and many will be)
the sense of co-operation and self-organisation that was achieved in a
particular campaign, can determine whether people will become involved
in other issues.

Anarchists should become involved in whatever campaigns they choose. 
Every issue can be viewed  from a libertarian or non-libertarian
viewpoint.  If you are interested in a particular issue, examine the
issue, try to apply libertarian principles to that particular campaign
and go for it.  Don't let other people put you off participating in a
campaign because it's only a local campaign.  You decide what campaigns
you want to become involved in, every issue is a legitimate issue.

ACTION BOX - PEOPLE FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY

Ever wondered why you use petrol driven cars and use labour saving
devices that you have to work overtime to purchase?  If you look at the
so called technological innovations that have been invented and mass
produced in the 20th Century you soon realise that technology is not
value free.  Centralised technologies that can be controlled by a few
corporations seem to reach mass production stages quickly while
non-centralised technological innovations that can be controlled by a
few people never seem to be available.

There are many technological innovations that have been produced in the
20th Century that are people and environmentally friendly.  You won't
find out what they are by reading, listening and watching the commercial
media.  Spend some time each week thinking about the energy sources you
use, the food you eat and the technological toys you use.  If you are
unhappy with the situation and want to become more self-sufficient and
self-reliant then make the effort to seek out groups, organisations and
information that lets you use people and environmentally friendly
technological innovations.

If you don't know where to start, check with your local library and
check out the magazines in your local newsagency (occasionally you may
come across a gem).  If you have access to the internet and you can
access it through most local libraries, look for information about
people friendly technology.  Check out your local environment group for
information, if they don't have the necessary information they'll know
what direction to send you in.  Once you've made contact and have access
to the information you can try to apply the information to your
particular situation.

Call a family or household meeting, explain to the people you live with
what and why you want to change.  Look at your financial options and see
if you find yourself in a position where you can introduce some people
friendly technology into your life.  Once you've decided to use a
bicycle, start a permaculture garden or use solar energy, you'll soon
realise how satisfying and financially beneficial self-sufficiency and
self-reliance can be.  Think about it, do you want to break out of the
corporate commodity straight jacket, if you do, now is the time to take
that first step towards using people friendly technological innovations.

AUSTRALIAN ANARCHIST HISTORY - THE MOUNT ISA DISPUTE 1964/5

The Mount Isa dispute in 1964/5 was different to the normal union
controlled 24 hour show of strength.  The Mount Isa miners took on one
of the worlds biggest mining corporations, the American Mining and
Smelting Corporation (ASARCO) and won.  The dispute was a spontaneous
uprising of not only the miners but their wives and many of the people
who lived in Mount Isa.  They won the dispute despite the outright
hostility of ASARCO, the Australian Workers Union, the Queensland
Government and the mass media.

The Mount Isa dispute was in Pat Mackies own words "a living lesson in
the constructive social potentialities of rank and file working
people".  "It was a triumph of the human spirit".

Pat  Mackie a member of the Industrial Workers of World was involved in
the very beginning of the dispute.  He began work at Mount Isa mines in
December 1961 as a "trucker".  He couldn't handle working as a mining
contractor and eventually finished up working in the mines as a timber
contractor (piece worker).  The dispute began as many of these disputes
do:- over the seemingly trivial matter of the mine not providing
adequate showers for the men after they had finished work.  Although it
may seem a trivial matter, at first glance, when you look at the
situation from a miners perspective, you soon realise how important it
is to have a hot shower at the end of your shift, to get off the grease
and dust you've accumulated by working underground.  The dispute ebbed
and flowed from May 1964 to April 1965.

Pat Mackie's role in the Mount Isa dispute is an excellent example of
how someone who has the experience of working within a militant
anti-authoritarian group can influence the direction a dispute will take
and its final outcome.  Pat Mackie had been a member of the I.W.W. for
almost two decades before he began work at Mount Isa.  He had seen first
hand how the rank and file can conduct and control workplace struggles. 
Pat had the experience of working with United States Seafarers Unions
and he understood the importance of setting up democratic structures
that used rank and file delegates with limited mandates to conduct a
workplace struggle.

Pat Mackie with the help of Elizabeth Vassilieff has told the miners
story in the book MOUNT ISA - THE STORY OF A DISPUTE, Published by
Hudson Publishing, 6 Muir Street, Hawthorn 3122 Melbourne 1989.  ISBN
0949873276.  If you can get hold of a copy it makes fascinating reading.

BOOK REVIEW - 
MALATESTA LIFE and  IDEAS
Edited by Vernon Richards, 1965 London Freedom Press

Vernon Richards has done English speaking anarchists a great service by
editing Malatesta Life and Ideas.  Although Malatesta is well known to
Italian anarchists, few English speaking anarchists are acquainted with
his ideas.  Irving Horowitz described Malatesta as "the great Italian
anarchist who bridged 19th and 20th Century European thought as few of
his peers did". Malatesta is remembered more as a revolutionary agitator
who spent over half his life in exile than as a thinker.  Vernon
Richards has rediscovered many of the articles Malatesta wrote for
various anarchist magazines he contributed to or edited.  He has
presented the reader with access to over sixty years of activity and
writing.

Malatesta did not earn his living as a writer, he earnt it as a radio
mechanic.  He didn't write books, he wrote for a number of anarchist
publications, giving an incisive analysis of what was happening in the
world at that moment.

Vernon Richards has divided this 300 page book into three distinct
sections.  The first and most interesting section which is over 200
pages long outlines Malatesta's ideas on Anarchism, Science, Freedom,
Violence, Mutual Aid, Reformism, Organisation, Property, Money, Crime,
Punishment, Revolution, Insurrection, Defence and many other important
topics.  Part Two consists of 70 pages of Biographical Notes, References
and Appendices.  In Part Three, Richards attempts to outline Malatesta's
relevance to anarchists today.

Considering the book was written over thirty years ago, the comments
Richards made about Malatesta in 1965 are as relevant today as they were
then.  This book throws a great deal of light on an activist whose ideas
and strategies in many ways were way ahead of his time.  Vernon Richards
has been able through hard work and intensive research to resurrect the
legacy of Errico Malatesta, a man whose ideas on anarchism will be
relevant in the 21st Century.

PERSONAL OBSERVATION

Yellow streaks of artificial light feel heavily round her shoulder, he
sat there hunched over staring at the poker machines.  Two people
sitting at a table with half empty coffee cups staring at nothing in
particular.  The tables and chairs were sandwiched between banks of
poker machines that beckoned people to find their G. spot.  The room was
partially filled by punters who seemed more asleep than awake.

She was forty, maybe fifty, thickset, yellow dress, black shoes, he was
forty, balding, slightly overweight, blue top, dark pants, black shoes
and socks.  He stared at nothing, she stared at nothing.  She had a
blackened left eye, something you don't see too often these days.

I remember it wasn't unusual to see women with a blackened eye, in the
late fifties and early sixties.  To children, in the fifties it seemed
there was an epidemic of women running into doors on weekends, well
that's what us kids were told.  I distinctively remember as a kid
catching the bus on Monday and seeing one or two women with a blackened
eye nearly every Monday morning.  Some of us kids on the school bus
thought women were clumsy, others knew what was happening.

Her conjunctiva was white, the blackened eye was turning yellow at the
edges, she kept staring straight ahead oblivious of the glittering banks
of 5 and 10 cent machines that surrounded her.  Other people sat around
playing with their coffee waiting for their bodies to propel them
towards the banks of glittering machines.  I drank my coffee and moved
on.  They sat there waiting, not moving, lost in their own thoughts.  I
remember I'd seen them before, twice I think, once when they were both
drunk, another time I saw them arguing as they fed the poker machines,
dollar coins.  Today they just sat there, king and queen of everything
they surveyed.  The blackened eye will disappear in a week or so, the
state of her soul, well that's another matter.

STOP PRESS - GREEN BANS REVISITED

Melbourne is awash with angry citizens who are sick and tired of the
Kennett regime overriding citizens objections to redevelopments in their
areas.  Kennett and the political eunuchs who make up the Victorian
cabinet seem to have shot themselves in the foot.  They have not only
alienated people who would never think of supporting this pack of
misfits, but they have created deep divisions in their own heart lands.

One of the single most important issues in the suburbs is the nature of
redevelopments that are occurring in suburbs that have traditionally
been able to maintain children friendly environments.  Inappropriate
developments are springing up across the inner suburbs and many leafy
outer suburbs.  The redevelopment at any cost ethic that is driving the
Kennett regime is no longer being swallowed by the general public,
especially those people who are pitted against inappropriate
developments.

The pressures that the trade union movement are currently under are
similar to the pressure that people who disagree with inappropriate
developments face.  In both cases the laws have been changed by
parliament to make it difficult if not impossible to mount any legal
challenges against attacks on individuals rights to form workplace
organisations and a residents rights to oppose inappropriate
developments.  Both groups have had their rights legislated out of
existence.  Across Australia the Trade Union Movement has almost been
legislated out of existence by the Federal Parliaments Trade Practices
Act, the Workplace Relations Act and the Crimes Act.

In Victoria local councils have had the right to veto their local
planning departments decisions removed.   Even if the local planning
department disapproves of the decision (and in most cases they can't
because of state government legislation) the Administrative Appeals
Tribunal is able to nip any protest in the bud.  If the Tribunal upholds
the objection the Victorian Planning Minister can override its
decision.  So much for the illusion that the people make the decisions
in this country.

It's about time the Trade Union Movement and local residents action
groups realised that they have a lot in common.  Although the last Green
Bans were lifted over 20 years ago it's time both sides joined forces
and reintroduced them.
