People from all directions.
A note to indigenous people, Workers BushTelegraph may contain recordings, images and songs of people who are deceased.
We address the following questions:
1. Industrial question: The Master/servant relationship. The struggle for Worker Control.
2. Ownership question: Who owns the land? Rights to the city, right to country. The struggle of indigenous people for land rights and social justice in Australia.
3. Political question: This is the class struggle. Who owns the means of production? Who governs? How are democratic rights won and shared.

A Wiradjuri Gomeroi man involved in an Invasion Day protest in Brisbane says the use of barricades by police during their march through the city was a cause of offence.
Ricky Pascoe says he believes barricades around the South Bank precinct were designed to keep protesters away from Australia Day events.
Mr Pascoe says even though they had no intention of disrupting proceedings, they were made to feel excluded by allegedly not being able to access the precinct as they had been in previous years.

Yesterday in Brisbane a group of Indigenous activists staged a sit-in in the closed off section of south bank, protesting Australia Day.
They were separated from the rest of the rally by a fence and a line of police. They refused to move, chanted “What’s today, Invasion Day” and destroyed an Australian Flag.
January 26 is the day the First Fleet arrived and the occupation of this country began.
It is not a day for celebration but a day for mourning.
