No More Raids Rally

Student Strike Against Hanson

Two to three thousand high school and university students walked out of classrooms today, to protest against far-right party, One Nation, its leader, Pauline Hanson, and the racist, sexist and homophobic ideology they are pushing into federal and state government policies, some which are being adopted by the ALP and Coalition and promoted by some sections of the media and big business.

Free Palestine Rally - Healthcare Workers Won't Be Silenced

Yesterday, hundreds of healthcare workers, including nurses, doctors, midwives and others, assembled outside the offices of the Allied Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to protest against the enforced adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s controversial definition of anti-semitism.

Health workers at yesterday’s rally spoke out against the definition, saying that it unfairly proscribes criticism of the state of Israel, Zionism, and Israel’s genocide in Gaza, sending a chilling effect not only to health workers, but to the broader community.

Divine Playhouse Sing-In, Protest and Rally

Yesterday, around a thousand people attended a rally at Hyde Park to protest against the eviction of the LGBTQIA+ theatre, Divine Playhouse.

The eviction by billionaire developers and owners, Redevelop, took place after right-wing Christian groups, Fit for the Kingdom and the Prodigal Sons, campaigned against the theatre being sited at a former church building on Pitt Street in Sydney’s CBD, which was deconsecrated in the 1930s.

Speakers at yesterday’s rally called for push-back against discrimination against LGBTQIA+ communities and for more safe spaces for queer performances and art. The rally ended with music, singing and dancing.

Around 200-300 people turned up to Star Casino on Gadigal Nura last night to protest against a $500 per head ball held by controversial surgeon, Charlie Teo, and whose invitees were some of the richest and most powerful people in the country, including Australia’s richest person, mining magnate, Gina Rinehart, and extreme right politician, Pauline Hanson.
