Racism in Australia link http://rsp.org.au/content/racism-australia White Australia Policy – The Background In the simplest means, White Australia Policy was a restrictive immigration policy pursued in Australia. But if we dig deep, it was a systematic racial approach by the capitalist ruling class. In the mid-19th century there was a shortage of labour [...]
All the present rumblings coming from politicians in Canberra about our great friends the US and what we do about China is at the least stupid and at the worst downright cowardice on a massive parliamentary scale. The real issue is “why can’t we get on with our own neighbours free from [...]
This article deals with a ‘doctrine’ that has and still does affect the indigenous people of Australia. While some view the Australian attitude to the indigenous as “paternal” that word carries with it some concept of actually caring for and being concerned about the peoples being made the subject of some or any [...]
Following the shooting of Afghans by the US trained killer soldier there has been some ridiculously limp and very tame statement form an acting Minister in the racist Gillard led Labor Party that manages to rule with the assistance of some independent loonies and a Labor member in deep trouble [...]
There seems to be something missing in all the talk in Australia about refugees. Where is the evidence for what people and politicians say about the “Border Security” issue or problem. Perhaps you may expect that if there is an issue [...]
You may have wondered why there is such a lot of material at this site on Israeli attacks on Gaza and elsewhere in Palestine. The primary reason is to remind readers of this site that the Israeli offensive, unlawful settlement and the detention of Palestinians continues on a 24/7 basis. This is of course combined [...]

Give this situation some thought. The real position in Australia as elsewhere in capitalist democracies is that there is a one party system with factions. Chomsky develops that idea extremely well. Here in Australia the Labor Party has as a base proposition the promotion of racist ideals among its politicians. From formation the ALP jettisoned [...]
Just in case you have other thoughts about how most if not all capitalist democracies are effectively authoritarian one party systems the recent comments here in Australia by the leader and about the leader of the Opposition makes good reading. Nothing illustrates the point more when the alleged conservative party starts to look left of the so called [...]
The invasion of Australia – official at last 1 July 2011 The City of Sydney has voted to replace the words “European arrival” in the official record with “invasion”. The deputy lord mayor, Marcelle Hoff, says it is intellectually dishonest to use any other word in describing how Aboriginal Australia was dispossessed by the British. [...]
I wrote the following in May 2009. What was then and is now a stupid and crass assessment of the Australian position is haunting us an will continue to do so. It only takes one fool to make a position stupid. To categorise both China and India as virtual future enemies was an incredibly arrogant [...]
NATO is fast becoming almost as trigger happy as the blood thirsty US imperial project. Just the slightest hint of economic advantage and these heroic warriors for peace and justice will unleash whatever they can wherever they can.
