A peace walk/bike ride against AUKUS, leaving Port Augusta 19th August 20266, and travelling towards Port Adelaide

Join us at Parliament House on Thursday 16th May as we launch a campaign to repeal the undemocratic SA anti-protest laws on the first anniversary of their introduction.

Passed by the South Australian Parliament in just 20 minutes, and without consultation, these laws escalated penalties in the Summary Offences Act for obstructing public places from $750 to $50,000 (or 3 months) imprisonment. These new laws are part of a concerning trend nationwide of introducing legislation to repress protest. They broaden the scope of offences that police can use and further criminalise peaceful community activism.

Protests and social movements have delivered our civil and political rights. Tolerance of dissent and even civil disobedience are hallmarks of a strong democracy. History has vindicated many acts of disobedience, including ‘Votes for Women’, the global suffrage movement; American Civil Rights Movement; Builder’s Labourers Federation Green Bans; and Vietnam Moratorium marches that blocked Adelaide intersections. With implied threats of extreme fines and jail time, the new laws have had a chilling and repressive effect on protest. This often disproportionately impacts those with marginalised identities, who so often have played a key role in bringing about social change.

The South Australian community deserves laws that are the result of deliberation and consultation, not policy on the run, so we’re calling on the SA Parliament to go back to drawing board and reconsider them.

The federal parliament’s nuclear power inquiry is holding a hearing in Adelaide next week, on Thursday, Dec 5. Port Augusta is one of the sites being targeted for nuclear reactors by the Dutton Coalition. And wherever the reactors are built, there will be more pressure for nuclear waste dumping in SA. Please join us outside the inquiry from 8am to 9am to voice our opposition to Dutton’s plan to build nuclear reactors, to prolong and expand the use of fossil fuels, and to derail the renewable energy transition. Please bring placards and banners.

Also, it would be great to have a good turnout inside the hearing, beginning at 9am. The hearing schedule will be posted online and will include speakers for and against Dutton’s nuclear plans.

LEAKY & SNEAKY : Santos has been caught red-handed using a giant gas tank which has been leaking at least 184 kg of methane per hour for around 20 years at the Darwin Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant.

The NT Environment Protection Authority (NTEPA) approved the tank in 2020 : the leak was reported just hours later while Santos was buying the tank. NTEPA Chair is Paul Vogel: on ABC on Sept 3rd he described the methane emissions from the leak as “insignificant” and the fire risk as “low or negligible”. He DIDN’T say that he’s a paid lobbyist for an organisation that works for gas industry clients. Santos kept quiet & continued to use the leaky tank with no penalty or requirement to fix it. Santos is aiming for massive profits from its Barossa gas field – with its extensive undersea piping north of Australia … What could possibly go wrong? And the results – more carbon emissions heating the atmosphere and endangering life, livelihoods and health across the globe.

Come along for coffee or lunch nearby.

This rally will be outside of the Opening Ceremony of the Tour Down Under! Meet at the northern point of Victoria Square.

Gas is a dirty fossil fuel and one of the biggest drivers of the climate crisis. Santos is a giant gas company with plans for THREE massive new gas projects.

Santos is able to push ahead with these plans by wielding immense political influence in South Australia. We must break our politics free of Santos.

The Tour Down Under is a world-famous cycling race, sponsored by Santos. We are proud that South Australia hosts the Tour Down Under, celebrating cycling, community, and sustainable transport!

We are deeply disappointed that Santos, a major fossil fuel company, holds the naming rights to such an event. The age of fossil fuel sponsorships is behind us! It’s time for our local events to reflect the clean, sustainable future we’re working towards.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog will be in Australia from the 9th of Feb-12th of Feb.

International Women’s Day must mean solidarity with all women - and that includes Palestinians.

We will be forming a picket of Penny Wong’s International Women’s Day breakfast and asking attendees not to cross the line and stand with the women of Gaza.

Penny Wong shouldn’t be able to host a breakfast for women, while, as Foreign Minister, she has been complicit in the starvation of women in Gaza.

The giant gas company Santos has their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Adelaide. Executives, shareholders, and the media will all be there.

Traditional Owners impacted by Santos plans are travelling to Adelaide, to speak at the Santos AGM. We’re organising a rally outside the AGM in solidarity!

Santos has plans for climate-cooking gas expansions in Narrabri in north-west New South Wales, and in the Beetaloo Basin in central Northern Territory.

The Narrabri project has been resisted by Gomeroi people for a decade. Garrawa people are concerned that fracking in the Beetaloo could impact precious songlines.

The media will be at the AGM. Join this rally and ensure everyone can see that the community stands with Traditional Owners battling Santos.

Join the Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFOPA) outside Senator Penny Wong’s Office on Palestinian Prisoners Day.

Action Network For everyone everywhere interested in Extinction Rebellion this talk, ‘Heading for Extinction (and what to do about it)’ is your entry point. We are facing climate and ecological catastrophe, and time is running out. Our political system is broken and our leaders are failing to protect us.

Find out about Extinction Rebellion, an international movement using non-violent mass civil disobedience as a tried and tested way to force governments to take the action that is needed.

This introductory talk and NVDA training will help you get involved with the XR movement. We also run regular online orientation/Q&A space for new rebels, which introduces you to Extinction Rebellion, how it works, what its aims, principles and values are, and how you can get involved. NVDA training is an introduction for those who want to participate in mass actions and you can also take part in more specific action skills trainings.

‘Heading for Extinction and what to do about it’ provides an up-to-date and honest picture of what is causing the climate emergency, and what needs to happen, urgently, to prevent the worst of climate disasters. There are opportunities for questions and discussion.

Come and explore how you can be part of the rebellion, starting now! All states and countries welcome.
