Check out this cool action from the Revolutionary Craft Womyn of Addington in solidarity of the ANZAC Ploughshares who gained access and casued serious damage to the Waihopai Spy Base in New Zealand. Waihopai is a key component of the global US spy system known as Echelon.
Here’s the report from Aotearoa Indymedia:

Sorry I forgot to mention to you all that I’ve gone on this extreme road trip so I won’t be posting much on here. We left almost a week ago now and we’ve been driving from Melbourne to Uluru (2300km egad!). I’ve even been driving and those of you who know me will [...]
Thanks to the lovely Ms Cate there was a bit of a Craft Cartel appearance at Swinburn Prahran campus today. They were having a youth week celebration with an amazing souvlaki cook up, some hilarious sexual health awareness street theatre, some healthy food promotion, and our wee stalls.

In the weekend I went to the innaugural Art Jam at Section 8 Bar (yip, same place where we have the craft cartel markets). Art Jam is a giant DiY fest.

And there’s prizes!
Each week there’s a mystery object which needs to be included. This week it was a condom.

This was a policy with the intention of breeding out Aboriginal People and saw more than 50,000 children removed from their families. In some cases, [...]

We have to excuse the pics because apparently the only camera Johanna has is on her mobile. Goodness do you think we should all pitch in a and get her a proper camera? These are such great pieces of work I think [...]
