Today we present excerpts from speeches delivered at ‘War, Peace and Independence' a public forum held in Naarm/Melbourne on Friday the 7th of September.
We hear from Meriki Onus (Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance), Lidia Thorpe (Gunnai-Gunditjmara), Sung Hee Choi (activist from South Korea), David Vine (Assoc. Prof. Anthropology American University) & Scott Ludlum (Nuclear-free activist and former Greens Senator).
The forum was the opening event for the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network Conference - a national gathering of organisations and individuals concerned with the growing threat of a major, global war and the lack of independent foreign policies (www.ipan.org.au).
