PERTH — Activists from various humanitarian and political organisations paid their respects to popular Communist leader Chris Hani, and showed their support for the democratic movement in South Africa, at a memorial meeting on April 17 organised by the African National Congress unit of WA and Campaign Against Racial Exploitation. Speakers included the Australasian representative of the ANC, Glen Mashinini, and WA socialist Sheila Suttner.

  • The increasing need for an alliance between unions, workers and progressive left movements was highlighted at Politics In the Pub on "Mining and the Environment" on April 23 at Cafe Sport in Northbridge. The meeting heard a panel of speakers including Jim Scott, Greens MLC, Mick Houlbrook of the Democratic Socialist Party and Conservation Council representative Beth Shultz. Discussions ranged from ownership and control of mining, to looking at how technology and resources can be used to meet the needs of people in an environmentally sustainable way.
