With the news just in that Corey Bernardi has really taken his lead from Donald Trump by establishing a new conservative political party - take the opportunity to protest Bernardi and other assorted bigots this Friday night. The venue has yet to be announced so please stay in touch with this page to find out closer to the day.
Quote of the week from Angela Davis. The resistance starts now. Join the rallies across Australia this weekend to protest Trump’s Muslim and refugee ban and our own government’s racism and brutality towards refugees.

Unfortunately reactions like this company in removing the billboard will only give more confidence and encourage the far right/fascists to use violence, or the threat of it, to pursue their politics.
History shows us how dangerous these groups are if we allow them to get bigger.
This is why we organise and campaign against them and their politics of hate.
If this was an attack on a church or a synagogue it would be 24/7 news. Politicians of all stripes would come out to condemn it as an act terror (regardless of lack of evidence). But of course Muslims are only ever perpetrators of terrorism and never its victims.
One Nation Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts are slated to “speak to, and take questions from, the Jewish community” in Caulfield on December 4.
Pauline Hanson and One Nation have been at the forefront of promoting Islamophobia. Malcom Roberts’ antisemitic conspiracy theories, are too far out there even for Andrew Bolt.
In the late nineties, the Jewish community was heavily involved in the fight against Pauline Hanson and her racism. We defeated her then and we can do it again.
This is a great opportunity to come together as a community and assert Jewish social justice ethics in a time of great uncertainty and heightened racism.
Multicultural street party against Hanson!
Defend multiculturalism! Fight racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism!
We welcome all community support.
Hundreds of anti-racists hit the streets of Melbourne today to stop a pro-Trump rally of neo-Nazis from marching through our city!
Tomorrow in Melbourne. You have to be in it to win it.
