Robert Doyle Slams Occupy Melbourne “Graffiti Vandals”
For those who missed the channel Nine news here is a Channel Nine newsclipping from today with Lord Mayor Robert ‘Doley Kong” Doyle critizing OM protesters for their artwork, which he calls”vandalism”. Of course it is debateable whether Robbert Dotle knows anything about art or art materials, but judging from the photos it was chalk or some sort of crayon, therefore not worth the media storm attached to it. The artwork adorning the plynth of the Burke and Wills statue was apparently discoverd on Monday morning, so it most likely happened over the weekend.Hmm, this is easier than occupying an intersection or setting up tents. Chalk it and they will come.

Yes, folks, in recent times the world has seen bombs in Boston and Iraq, millions of Turks protesting in the street, whistleblowers who leaked details on war crimes locked up and tortured ,and what is King Doyle worried about? A little colourful enhancement of a statue of two dead white men with dubious achievements. In a city which is famous for it’s Graffiti alleyways. Clearly this is the “Lucky Country!”
Voices Of Melbourne, End Of May
Short weekly newsclip about activist events in Melbourne. Started about weeks ago, check out the others on the channel.
It’s such a good feeling
It’s such a good feeling:
To know that politicians read this blog hoping they won’t be mentioned.
To know they will all be ‘caught with their pants’ down eventually, sometimes literally.
To know that politicians are exposed for their dirty tactics, here and other media outlets.
To know that the people are waking up to the lies and fraud.
To know people are realizing that man made global warming is a complete fantasy, and nothing more than scare tactic to enforce a global tax.
To know people aren’t fooled by Marxist fascists dressed as hipsters or environmentalists.
In politics everything is the opposite of what they claim it is.
What is the opposite of green? RED!
Watermelon.
The next time some talks about man made global warming, say “You are a terrorist”, because that’s exactly what they are doing, spreading terror to further their agenda.
EDIT
Sometimes I’m wrong, I should have added this:
IPCC wrong again about global warming, stop giving these scaremongers money.

Melbourne March Against Monsanto Documentary Spoiled by Nick Carson Megaphone Hi-jack
This is a really great clip if you missed the march or were late or just want to hear the speakers again. It was a huge turnout. (And we managed to plug the Free Shop too!) But it would not be a proper protest in Melbourne without faketivist Nick Carson having another hi-jack attempt. Nick was in no way involved in organising this event, suddenly he is rallying people to “occupy” the intersection for as long as they want, and we all that ended in unnecessary conflict between protesters. Self-determined action is great and people can make up their own mind about whether they feel it’s important to block tram tracks, but we really did not need or want Nick Carson on the megaphone(yet again!)telling us what to do, he has proven time and time again that he wants to set himself up as some kind of leader and we are really not interested. If you want proof of what Nick Carson does and why occcupymelbourne.net will continue to expose this narcisssist, check out the docu at 33.07 minutes.
Melbourne Shark March 2013.
Via Fin Free Melbourne.
After the success of our last rally, it is time to step up again and be a voice for sharks.
Here we are in 2013.
Status of sharks in our oceans; DISMAL, DECIMATED, and in DESPERATE need of our help
Melbourne is the shark fin soup capital of Australia and we are ashamed of this. Are you?
Demand for SHARK FIN SOUP and FLAKE are the primary reasons for over exploitation of sharks.
At last count there was over 50 restaurants in Melbourne serving shark fin soup, hundreds of fish and chip shops serving FLAKE (shark) and countless pharmacies and health food stores selling cartilage and squalene (Shark Liver Extract).
The demand for these products is destroying global shark populations and most shark populations have been decimated by as much as 90%. This is completely unsustainable. The ecological consequences will be catastrophic.
The most comprehensive, up to date report of shark populations world wide was released early this year and announced a mortality estimate of 63 to 273 MILLION sharks per year.
Sharks have survived 5 mass extinctions and we are about to wipe them out. We are about to make one of the most ancient and indestructible creatures on earth EXTINCT.
Shark finning is a global calamity! LETS MARCH TO BOYCOTT ALL SHARK PRODUCTS AND TELL AUSTRALIA TO WAKE UP AND STOP SUPPORTING THE GLOBAL SHARK FIN TRADE!
Fin Free Melbourne invites all of you to come and be involved in a peaceful and educational outreach. We will hopefully be getting media attention and the event will be filmed so please come and show your support.
Be a voice for the sharks.
Help spread the fin free word to passers by.
Get creative; WE NEED TO MAKE AN IMPACT. We need:
Signs.
Banners.
Posters.
Shirts.
Shark Costumes.
ANYTHING that shows love and support for our sharks and says NO to shark fin soup, flake and supplements!!!!

March against Monsanto: Melbourne Protest pics
Turn out of about 1000 at the state library, A few speeches and then the 20 minute march around the block finally ending up at the intersection of Swanston and Latrobe streets. This became an impromptu intersection blockade with the final stragglers staying way too long. riot cops arrived but simply stood waiting while the the trams were held up. Nice day, nice protest, good mix of people who got their point across. A few would be hijackers made attempts but got shut down before they started.
