You’ve probably heard that the G20 is on in Bris in November this year. To keep stuff interesting, critical and creative we are putting on a conference of our own over the three days before hand. We’re hoping speakers, panels and conversations on a whole range of topics, along with music, art, theatre and more quality anti-capitalist community fun times than you can point a oppressive economic system at.
The Peoples’ Summit working group meets fortnightly at the Edge to share ideas and keep up to date with our tasks and preparation for this exciting event! Join us!

Service to discuss how the G20 will impact on homeless people and the use of public space
Thursday 2nd of October at 12:30
New Farm Neighbourhood Centre
967 Brunswick St New FarmNew Farm Neighbourhood Centre is hosting a public G20 meeting next Thursday at the Centre from 12:30 focussing on the impact of G20 upon Homeless and marginalised people using public space. The local community is anxious regarding the interface of this huge security operation, concurrent recent increased policing in response to terror threats and pre existing vulnerabilities. I’m sure this is the case in your inner city communities as well.
Mark Smith will speak on behalf of the G20 group and we have asked Corey Allen along to discuss general policing in this pressured environment. All are welcome and I’ve attached a flyer for your information or distribution.
5) Caxton Legal Centre’s next public information session on the G20 (Safety and Security) Act
During the G20 Summit weekend (November14 – 16) there will be broad laws covering security areas in Brisbane’s inner-city.
