World Peace: Australia’s Role in Global Demilitarization – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Australia could lead by example, showing the world that peace is not only necessary but achievable through concerted effort and unwavering commitment. The journey toward global peace starts with recognizing the deep interconnectedness of our modern world and the shared benefits that peace brings to all humanity.

The Power of Collective Effort

Finally, the quest for world peace is a shared journey. It requires the commitment of not just governments and policymakers but also of individuals and communities worldwide. Each step taken towards disarmament, each investment in peace education, and each diplomatic effort made contributes to a tapestry of actions weaving a more peaceful future.

This vision for a peaceful tomorrow is not only achievable—it is necessary. As Australia continues to lead and collaborate on these efforts, it invites others to join in creating a legacy of peace that will help generations to come. The time to act is now, with each of us playing a role in crafting a world where peace is not just a dream but a reality.

Great South Coast Economic Migration Project
Yesterday at 11:37 AM ·

The GSCEMP Welcome Weekend was a huge success with the visitors all showing great enthusiasm to relocate to the region. Eleven people, visiting from Melbourne and Sydney, were welcomed by the communities of Casterton and Hamilton over the two days. In the words from Gabriel from Melbourne:

‘I finally feel like I’m in Australia and it already feels like home.’

The weekend involved a guided bus tour of the towns, including visits to a hospital, school, dairy farm, aged care facility and homestays with local families in Casterton.

At the end of the weekend, it was clear that the visitors loved our region and plan to move as soon as they can. The project team will now assist the families to find jobs and suitable housing in order to move to the Great South Coast region in the coming months.

A huge thank-you to the Glenelg Shire Council, Southern Grampians Shire Council, the Leadership Great South Coast project team and many local community members that assisted to make the weekend a success.

Immigration

Australian Immigrants- Video
Death of Multiculturalism, Multiculturalism

“The Day The Music Died” – » The Australian Independent Media Network

With sweeping new powers, that man – Immigration minister Dutton – has deported hundreds of permanent residents in numbers not seen since World War 2. Cases are emerging in the media of non-citizens, who have families here and have lived here since childhood, being deported for a range of minor offences including driving without a license and road rage.

Where then would that have left people like The Easybeats’ singer Stevie Wright – already drug addicted in the early 70s and charged with housebreaking and arrested for heroin abuse? Or Bon Scott, Scottish-born AC/DC vocalist, who served 9 months in juvenile detention for unlawful carnal knowledge, escaping custody and theft? Or the stream of expatriate European musos who came to the attention of the law?

The Countdown phenomenon could never have happened in our current political climate, and certainly not in the reign of heartless right-wing Immigration minister Dutton – a bitter ex-cop. In 2017, many of those key players of that burgeoning Aussie music scene would be in immigration detention, torn from their families and facing the prospect of deportation. Many ironically would be imprisoned in Villawood Detention Centre, the very same ‘hostel’ where The Easybeats first met many years ago.

Following the release of their international hit ‘Friday On My Mind’, The Easybeats gave an English radio interview, only to be mildly offended when the interviewer referred to them as an English band. ‘We’re Australian!’ they retorted loudly. ‘Three of you are British and two of you are Dutch,’ countered the interviewer, ‘What exactly makes you Australian?’

‘The music!’ they replied in unison.

You’ve been watching Countdown 2017 and this is the day the music died. Goodnight Australia.
