    Hey everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone had any info on police violence/harrassment, etc of Indigenous peoples in Australia, specifically in Redfern/Sydney area.

    So, basically, websites, or Mob I can talk to about it.
    Any info would be helpful.

    Cheers,
    x.

These resistances are very little known precisely because the reigning spectacle is designed to present an omnipresent hypnotic image of unanimous submission. But they do exist and are spreading.", The Bad Days Will End.


    "(The) working class exists and struggles in all countries, and has the same enemies in all countries – the police, the army, the unions, nationalism, and the fake ‘socialism’ of the bourgeois left. It shows that the conditions for a worldwide revolution are ripening everywhere today. It shows that workers and revolutionaries are not passive spectators of inter-imperialist conflicts: they have a camp to choose, the camp of the proletarian struggle against all the factions of the bourgeoisie and all imperialisms." -ICC, Nation or Class?

    I had a friend (white) who used to go to Redfern to meet indigenous friends.

    When they had to get a taxi, all her indigenous mates would hide around the corner, or out of sight, she would get in the taxi, then all her friends would jump in too.

    Otherwise the taxis would never pull over.
