A bunch of stuff…
- The wonderful @ndy from Melbourne and his blog SlackBastard have encountered some troubles thanks to a bunch of dickhead fascists. Check out his blog, temporarily on blogspot, and read this and this for more details.
- Radio New Zealand have made a 53 minute long program on anarchism, which can be listened to via their website.
Part one:
Long time Wellington activist and anarchist Sam Buchanan talks about his beliefs and influences.
Part two:
Historian and author of Rabble Rousers and Merry Pranksters – A History of Anarchism in Aotearoa, Toby Boraman, provides a snap-shot of a century of anarchism in New Zealand.
Part three:
Christian anarchist Manu Caddie and Green MP and former member of an anarcho-feminist theatre troupe, Metiria Turei, discuss the influence anarchism has had on their daily lives.
- Maia @ Capitalism Bad and Julie @ The Hand Mirror have posts on the latest anti-booze ads from ALAC critiquing the perpetuation of rape myths contained in one of them. Definately worth a read.
- Tomorrow sees the sentencing of several more of the arrestees from the 2006 anti-G20 protests in Melbourne. All my love and solidarity goes out to them, to Akin Sari who already sits in Barwon Prison, and to the 13 who are pleading not guilty and awaiting trial next year.

Does this mean that anarchists are all looneys? Bunch of mentals?

Hmmm, don’t seem to be able to listen to that radio show anymore. Don’t suppose you or anyone else saved a copy by any chance?
There was an interesting program about Anarchism on BBC Radio 4 a couple of years ago on the ‘In Our Time’ history show. That’s still available on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20061207.shtml
If for some reason it’s not available outside the UK and you want to listen to it drop me a line and I’ll record it for you.

Yeah, I’ve listened to that BBC show before, it’s interesting. Unfortunately Radio NZ don’t keep their audio online indefinitely. I don’t have a copy of it saved either…..will ask around though.
