So if you’re wondering what anarchy is all about, no, it’s not about podcasting, I remember when we used to Castetna leaflets. An anarchist society is a voluntary non-hierarchical society which is based on the creation of political and social structures which are based on equal decision-making power. Where people have access to wealth and power. Simple concept, wealth is held in common and used for the common good. Power is decentralised, society based on real reality, real relationships. Not faith. In today’s program we’ll be talking about, yes, yes, yes, yes, the farming subsidies, little sad bits and pieces and the list goes on and on. So we’ve got a lot of things to talk about but the important thing to remember is, this is Grand Final week. Whether it’s Australian Rules football or the National Rugby League finals which will be held this weekend. You know and I know that’s all that’s important, isn’t it? The football. That is the important thing that we’re all interested in. It is the important thing which dominates the airwaves, dominates the television set, dominates the newspaper, but possibly doesn’t dominate the internet. Football is the reason we’re on this planet, and we’ll be talking about that today. About the energy, the passion, the commitment that’s displayed by the footy fans, so if you’re a football tragic, listen to the Anarchist World this Week.

Let’s start off with our friends at the ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation because I’m little bit concerned about the ABC, more so the very, very, sad state the ABC is currently in, and especially Local Radio. More so than Radio National. I mean, the Howard government has been able to do to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation what no other government has been able to do to it during its’ 75 year history. You know that, I know that. I mean, we had the ridiculous situation this year in Melbourne when they celebrate their 75th anniversary the friends of the ABC didn’t actually even get a seat at the table, they were actually asked to go away. And if anybody stumbles onto Local Radio, could be forgiven for thinking they were listening to one of the less popular commercial networks. And this hasn’t happened because it’s happened. It’s happened through a variety of changes which have been made at the ABC which has transformed the Australian Broadcasting Corporation into a virtual propaganda arm of the government of the day. I mean, presenters on short term contracts need to tiptoe through a minefield of written and unwritten boundaries, who are hamstrung by a government-driven ideological agenda and forced by a board, an ABC board, appointed not for the talents the board members bring to the ABC board, but because they agree with the Prime Ministers’ historical revisionist world view.

These days, poor ABC presenters and editorial teams are faced with the dilemma of discussing such world shattering questions as the amount to lint accumulating in listeners’ navels. And if you think I am exaggerating, listen to ABC Local Radio for a day or 2 and you’ll realise how tragic the situation has become. To a lesser degree, as I said before, Radio National has escaped the intellectual cull that’s occurred on ABC Local Radio and television. Even on Radio National, and some of the more prestigious political programs at ABC television, self censorship and self-preservation have become the name of the game. Because the ABC is not a very nice place to work in currently. And I don’t blame individual presenters and editorial teams trying to preserve their contracts. The convergence of political opinion that stifles parliamentary debate in parliament and stifles debate in this country, has in the name of balance, allowed right wing extremists such as the Institute of Public Affairs commonly known as the IPA, to openly strut their one-dimensional world views almost unchallenged on the ABC. Labor Party hacks act as the counterfoil to the Institute of Public Affairs, their presence touted as the new ABC balance. As we’ve seen, the rich diversity of opinion that’s reflected in the views of the Left, is seldom heard or seen on ABC Radio or television. It seems that balance means reformists debating rightwing extremists. Now I’m the first to admit that as Anarchists we can be described as left wing extremists on the political spectrum, so if you really want a balanced debate on the ABC or Local Radio, if you’re going to see rightwing extremists like the Institute of Public Affairs strut their stuff, then you don’t get some reformist politician or some reformist parliamentary hack who believes in parliamentary democracy, globalisation, corporatisation, deregulation, and privatisation, masquerading as the radical voice of Australia on the National broadcaster.

So over the last 11 years, we have seen the transformation of the ABC from an organisation which at least gave lip service to the idea of balance, to an organisation through the appointment of historical revisionists to the board, whose only reason for their employment is that their ideological agenda coincides with the Prime Ministers’ ideological agenda, with the appointments of senior beaurocrats in the ABC whose job it is to impose guidelines which allow the more authoritarian elements of society to express their viewpoints unchallenged. And why does it concern me? Because once the ABC becomes an imitation of the commercial media, and it is fast becoming a mirror image of the commercial media, the next step will be, irrespective or whether it’s a Howard-led government or a Rudd-led government, the next step will be the full-scale privatisation of the ABC because the debate will be then, well what’s the point of the taxpayers spending nearly a billion dollars a year supporting the ABC when all it does is replicate what’s on the commercial networks. So there is a reason, not just the short term political reason, to transform the ABC into a quasi commercial network, not just in terms of endorsements but in terms of content, because this government and future governments would like to see the ABC disappear. If you think I’m exaggerating, turn on the ABC today. Listen to the dribble. Listen to the commentary, listen to the analysis, weigh the amount of lint that’s in your belly button then you can ring them up and tell them how wonderful it all is. Because what we have seen at the ABC is not a dumbing down, but a transformation through the appointment of board members, as I said before, whose ideological agenda mirrors the Prime Ministers reactionary agenda. Not conservative, but reactionary, agenda.

You’re listening to the Anarchist World this Week, broadcast across Australia on the national Community Radio Satellite. My name’s Joseph Toscano, I’m hosting today’s program. Streaming live on 3cr.org.au also available on podcast from the same web address 3cr.org.au.

Let’s move on. We can’t dwell on just one topic, there are so many wonderful topics. Now if you’re listening to this program in Melbourne, as I speak trade unionists and their supporters are marching from Trades Hall to Flinders Street. Not to Federation Square but to Flinders Street. Because Federation Square, although it was built by taxpayers money, almost a billion dollars was poured into making Federation Square, it’s basically a private space. Where whether you’re allowed to use that space or not doesn’t depend on the cause, but depends on how much money is in your pocket. But that’s another matter we have discussed on this program ad nuseum. but what I would like to discuss is the criminalisation of legitimate political activity in this country. We have 2 examples this week. The first example is a worker in regional Victoria that led a published in a regional paper which criticised the WorkChoices legislation. This particular worker whose covered by the Manufacturing Workers Union, now faces dismissal because he openly criticised the company he works for in the local paper. That’s number 1. Number 2, although there’ll be many workers today in Melbourne, there will be many workers who’ll not be at that rally for one very good reason. Because now it is illegal in this country, for working people to take time off to participate in political demonstrations. We know it’s been illegal for some time, for working people to strike, but if many workers in Victoria wish to participate they can be fined 6 and a half thousand dollars for the heinous crime of taking a day off work to participate in a political protest. So we can see employers across this city, the city of Melbourne, putting pressure on employees who wish to join the mass rally today which looks at the WorkChoices legislation, which is something every worker needs to be concerned about it, and is concerned that if they take the day off, or half a day to participate in a rally, they are guilty of a criminal activity. They can be fired, they can be fined.

So when you hear Mr Bush and Mr Downer bleat, cry tears of blood for the people of Burma as they try to overthrow the military dictatorship in that country, maybe we should actually look at the limited political options people have in this country. If you limit your participation to the illusory act of casting a ballot every 3 years for a parliamentary representative then you’re given a big tick. But if for some reason, if for some reason, you decide to take political action, you decide to join a demonstration, you decide to join a Union, you may find that you’re unemployable. You could find yourself being fined if you decide to write a letter to a local paper which is published, you could find yourself without a job. So it’s all very well to bleat about the lack of political rights that people have in Burma or in Iraq or in any other part of the world, but how about a few political rights in this country. How about that? Isn’t that something worthwhile? Isn’t it extraordinary that if you withdraw your labour to improve your conditions, that you’re a criminal? That if you participate in a picket line you are a criminal? That if you participate in a demonstration you are a criminal? But if you exploit your workers you’re a hero. That’s right, you are a hero or a heroine. That if you make money out of other people’s labours and don’t share the profits, you’re a hero. It’s extraordinary how things have changed in this country in the last 2 or 3 decades. And I don’t just put the blame on The Liberal Party; I put the blame on all the people involved in political activity these days.

Because as I said before, this is the big week, isn’t it? If you’re a football fan it couldn’t get better than this, could it really? You know, here we have Melbourne Storm is playing somebody in Sydney and Geelong is playing somebody else in Melbourne it escapes me who they’re playing (Port Adelaide – ed) but it’s the Grand Final and all we’ve got to do is turn on a radio station, even the Anarchist World this Week, pick up a newspaper, look at a television bulletin, and it’s great, isn’t it? Really great. Or is it? It’s a pity, it really is, isn’t it, that the same passion, energy and commitment that many Australians show during the business end of the Australian Rules and National Rugby League competition isn’t directed towards the political arena, we may have 20 or 30 thousand people marching or demonstrating about WorkChoices legislation in Melbourne today but there’ll be a 100,000 people paying good money to watch some chaps kick a football at the MCG on Saturday.

Australians are very good I’ve noticed privately and publicly denigrating their public representatives. But when it comes to participating in the political process, most Australians think it’s good enough to cast a ballot every 3 years and leave it to the experts to make decisions for us, isn’t it? If half, even if a quarter of the passion, the energy, and the commitment that’s reserved for the sporting field in this country, was directed at the political arena, maybe we would have a political process and political representatives we could be proud of, not ashamed of. To leave politics in the hands of professional politicians and political parties, the idea that most Australians seem to embrace, is a recipe for the mediocre, self-serving political representatives we are currently saddled with. Every day I wake up it just escapes me how a miserable 21 million living on a continent can’t tackle poverty or fund an adequate health care system or an education system or provide a decent income for the elderly, the disabled, single parents and the unemployed in our midst. 21 million people living on a continent. Not a 100 million people living in a flood plain like in Bangladesh, we’re 21 million living on a continent. And we still have the same debates day in and day out, thinking why doesn’t somebody do something about that? It’s as if we’ve forgotten our history. There are 2 histories in this country that are forgotten. They’re not written about, they’re not discussed, they are never publicly articulated. They’re this country’s black history, which has been written off, and this country’s working history which is not acknowledged.

Australians seem to have forgotten as they wave their little flags for their football team, that most if not all of the rights, the liberties, and the privileges that we take for granted, come from ordinary men and women taking part in day to day political struggle. Ordinary men and women, not waiting to put their ballot in the ballot box every 3 years. Australians in the past enjoyed their football, but they also participated in strikes, occupations, vigils, public meetings, demonstrations, picket lines and formed and joined political parties, trade unions, and community groups. Think about it. Think about it. Do you think we would have a public health sector irrespective of how run down it is today if ordinary people hadn’t struggle for that public health sector? Do you think you would have a public education sector? Do you think you would have pensions? Because every time an advance has been made, it has been made through sacrifice and through action. And don’t think the current attempt by this government and this opposition to criminalise legitimate workplace activity, to criminalise legitimate political activity, has nothing to do with their understanding of history, they understand when people work together, withdraw their labour together, protest together, that reform and radical change comes. That’s why they want to criminalise the very processes which bring change.

If we continue as a people to reserve our passion and energy for the sporting field, and ignore the political arena, we will soon find that all the sacrifices made by our parents and grandparents to improve our lives were made in vain. So during Grand Final week, enjoy yourself, talk to your friends, give that passion and energy and commitment but then carry over that passion and energy and commitment into the political and community arena. I mean, a football game is a football game. The results go down in the records, people talk about it. But it doesn’t really change the way you live. You may feel better because your team is better than any other team, but it’s not going to change anything. So why just reserve the passion, the energy and the commitment just for the sporting field. When you can use that same energy and passion and commitment to transform this society into a society that the rest of the world would envy.

Your listening to the Anarchist World this Week, broadcast across Australia from the National Community Radio Satellite. My name’s Joseph Toscano, and I’m hosting today’s program, and hopefully we can get you excited.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cynicism. Cynicism is the name of the game. I don’t know if you watched the Howard government’s rural package? It’s been win-win, hasn’t it? Everybody’s been clapping and jumping up and down. I hate to be cynical but I think maybe we should look at this a little bit realistically. Because I always believe that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, isn’t it? I mean, it’s raining money if you live in the country and Mr Howard, that’s right, the coward, the liar, the fraud Mr Howard, rely on political survival and rely on the political survival of his mates the National Party who usually garner about 4% of the national vote, but who have those votes concentrated in a few state electorates, has pumped in another 750 billion dollars to help Australian farmers cope with drought. We all see you standing up and applauding. Now unfortunately, the taxpayer funded largess to the rural sector has everything to do with political expediency and nothing to do with tacking the reasons why drought is fast becoming a permanent feature that little bit of the Australian landscape that was able to have sustained agriculture in the past. You talk to most farming organisations, they still can’t bear to bring themselves to utter the word climate change, and when we talk about farming in this country, forget about the violin story about the small farmer that’s been squeezed out, that’s been going on for generations. I mean, my family was involved in farming, and I saw my parents squeezed out of farming while the corporate sector, so I know what I’m talking about. So what we’ve seen in this country in the last 15 years is the corporatisation of agriculture. What we’ve seen over the last 20 years, is the break-up of the farming co-operatives which helps small farmers enjoy the good years and weather the bad years. Talk about throwing money into a furnace. The current drought isn’t, as most Australians continue to be told, part of the drought flood cycle that has sustained agriculture in the past. It is as most experts now agree, a product of increasing greenhouse emissions, which are not due to the hand of God but due to human activity.

The Prime Minister’s talk of easing farmers out of agriculture with dignity, with heaps of taxpayers money, isn’t being received as well as he expected in the wider Australian community. It seems that in this country, if you’re an investor you can expect generous tax breaks, if you’re a farmer you can be expected to be able to leave the land with dignity in the pre-electoral period only. I mean, this largess may help the National Party hold onto a few rural electorates, and that’s the major reason for the package, let’s be realistic. This is the reason for the package, it has nothing to do with helping small farmers resist drought or drought-proof their lands. Nothing in this package will help the agricultural sector cope with the changing climate and the resultant devastation to rural Australia that this is causing. It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? On the one hand we have transnational corporations digging big holes, exporting raw materials and making extraordinary profits and very little of those profits comes back into the community via the taxation system. Because as far as the taxation is concerned, it’s basically voluntary for these corporations. On the other hand, where the rural sector which now finds itself in a great deal of difficulty and in many cases farmers, small farmers, who find themselves in this predicament through no fault of their own, will now find themselves being squeezed off the land once again. Whether it’s the soldier-settlers after WW1 who were squeezed ff the land in the 20’s and 30’s because they were placed on non-productive land. There is the small rural holder on the fringes of the large metropolitan centres forced off the land in the 60’s and 70’s with the introduction of agri-investors. The story’s the same. The Howard government and farming organisations are largely responsible for rural Australia’s predicament. As I said before. They have encouraged Australian farmers to embrace deregulation and demutualisation. And most farmers have embraced deregulation and demutualisation. The only problem is that they may have embraced deregulation, demutualisation, but what is seen is monopoly control as far as food distribution networks are concerned in this country. We’ve got 2 corporations who own 85% of the food distribution networks in this country. You can see the extent of the power they’re able to exercise over the deregulated and demutualised farming sector. And once again, drought or no drought, it’s small farmers, family owned farms, who find themselves bearing the brunt of the problem. Co-operatives were set up by farms at the end of the 19th century in this country to protect them from the boom/bust agricultural cycle, and to protect them from predatory policies which are being conducted by monopolies which control food distribution and food sales in this country. That was the purpose of setting up the co-operatives. For the last 20 years, we’ve seen dairy farmers vote to demutualise, to break down these co-operatives because they thought they could sell overseas and make a packet. We have seen, and I’m seen rush from agri-business who are more than happy to trample over the carcasses of small farmers to access international markets, that are more than happy to see the rationalisation of the agricultural sector. So no wonder Mr Howard and Mr Vale are so concerned about small farmers reaction in the country to what is happening. It’s all very well for farmers to blame the city folk. But if they want to blame anybody, maybe they should blame those corporations which now dominate agricultural production in this country. We have individuals who own stations which are bigger than England in this country.

I’m quite certain that most of our listeners wouldn’t begrudge the agricultural sector support, especially small farmers support, if that same support was extended to other workers, who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in non-sustainable industries. The Howard government has never, never shown any interest in the plight of manufacturing workers who have lost their jobs. Industries that they have traditionally worked in have moved offshore to access cheap labour. They’ve never shown any interest, they say you’ve just got to grin and bear it, be retrained, move on, forget about it, stop crying. And this government has compounded Australian workers plight by allowing ever-increasing numbers of guest workers, whose presence in this country keeps Australian wages artificially low by world standards, and if you think that the Australian wages are high by world standards, think again. 38th, 38th in the world. While other sections of Australian society are denied access to assistance to allow them to leave non-sustainable industries with dignity, the governments’ pre-election largess to the rural sector will be seen by many Australians for what it is – a cynical, short-term, pre-electoral, pump-priming exercise to help Liberal/National Parties stave off an electoral route at the forthcoming election. So this largess, nothing to do with tackling climate change. Nothing to do with assisting farmers to continue to continue farming. Nothing to do with that. This is another one of those cynical, pre-electoral pump-priming attempts to sure up support in rural Australia. So if you want to look at the enemy, and you want to define the enemy in rural Australia, and you are working on a family-owned farm, look around you. Look around you. The enemy is not your city cousins, the enemy is not the manufacturing workers, the enemy isn’t people working part-time jobs, the enemy isn’t people on social security benefits, the enemy is there where you live. The enemy is these corporations which dominate agricultural activity because this government and previous governments have on the altar of efficiency and profitability, sacrificed family-owned farms. And placed tax incentives in the hands of the corporate sector. So as far as this package is concerned, too little, too late and anybody who believes that it is anything more than pork-barrelling needs to look at what’s happening in their community.

You’re listening to the Anarchist World this Week, broadcast across Australia on the National Radio Community Radio Satellite. That number for a complimentary copy of this weeks' Anarchist Age Weekly Review (03) 8508 9856 you can download the Weekly which will be up on site tomorrow anarchistmedia.org you can write to us, that’s right, we still love letters and we will respond to all letters, you can send letters to PO Box 20 Parkville 3052.

Now we like to set a little bit of homework on this program because what’s the point of listening to things you can’t do? You can join Direct Democracy Not Parliamentary Rule, look at their website rulebythepeople.org you can write to them at PO Box 5035 Alphington 3078. You can sign the Sedition Charter at seditioncharter.org get a copy get your friends to sign by writing to PO Box 5035 Alphington 3078. But some homework we need to do this week, get out your pencils, get out your pens, your podcasts and you can listen to this later on.

So who’s Akin Sari? I’m sure most of our listeners have never heard of Akin Sari. I’ve met Akin a few times over the last few months and I’m a little bit concerned about the plight he finds himself in. Mr Akin Sari is a political refugee from Turkey who was granted political asylum from the Howard government, about 4 or 5 years ago. There are not many people granted political asylum by the Howard government and Mr Akin Sari is one of the few people in this country he is an Australian citizen. Now Mr Akin Sari was arrested in November last year where it was alleged he was involved in a number of offences which include riot and affray, regarding the G20 protests. Mr Akin Sari spent about 3 or 4 weeks in jail and was originally arrested and released at the end of 2006. He was placed on quite stringent bail conditions and appeared in court on a number of these charges. Late August he failed to appear at court in Melbourne and a warrant was issued for his arrest and he was arrested in Sydney about 2 and a half weeks ago. He currently is rotting in the Melbourne Remand Centre and his case is set for mention on Friday 12th October, where most likely he will not be able to obtain bail and he will have to stay in jail until February 2008 when his case comes back before the court. So, we encourage you to send Akin some postcards and letters to keep his spirits up while he’s in jail because he could find himself in jail for up to 6 months, maybe even longer while he awaits trial on charges from the G20 protest in Melbourne.

You have to remember that Mr Sari has never been charged with an offence, these are alleged offences, currently he has pleaded not guilty to these offences and like everybody else who finds themselves in Remand, he is innocent until proven guilty. So if you’d like to send some postcards, the brighter the better, to cheer him up, or letters, you can write to ‘Akin Sari c/o Melbourne Assessment Prison 371 Spencer Street Melbourne 3000.’ Send him a postcard, keep up his sprits. Most likely he’ll be in jail for another 4 or 5 months until his charges are heard in court in February next year, so write to Akin Sari. Let’s see if we can send 1000 – let’s be more realistic – let’s see if we can send a few hundred postcards in the next week. So pick up your pen right now, buy a postcard, put a stamp on it, send it to Akin, make it bright and cheerful, and keep his spirits up while he’s waiting to have his charges heard in February next year, we’ll keep you up to date, regarding his appearance in court on the 12th of October this year.

You’re listening to the Anarchist World this Week, broadcast across Australia on the National Radio Community Satellite. My name’s Joseph Toscano, I’m hosting today’s program.

Let’s move on. What other wonderful things can we talk about, yes there are many wonderful things we can talk about in this country because we live in a democratic society (Ha Ha Ha) we have to laugh, when we say that, don’t we? We can go to any protest we like, can’t we? (Ha Ha Ha) we can vote for whatever ruler we like, isn’t it wonderful. Yes the people can vote for their rulers, is that a free society, I doubt it. Alright, let’s move on. There is something that I’ve been thinking of for some time now which I’d like to discuss, and this concept - that Generation Y is a bunch of losers and the Baby Boomers are a bunch of bastards. Yes I don’t know if you’ve been hearing that lately but it is quite interesting because things have changed in the last 10-20 years and we’re finding that more and more adult children are living at home. And more and more parents or Baby Boomer parents are finding that they are having to fork our more and more money having to support their adult children living at home. And people kind of laugh this off as ‘oh well, you know, they are just Generation Y they are just lazy why don’t they pull a finger out and get out there and get a job?’ unfortunately Generation Y worked much harder than us Baby Boomers ever worked and continues to work much harder but what’s happened is the ball game has changed.

In the 60’s and 70’s (especially the 70’s), we had greater equality of opportunity in this country. And as far as wages were concerned, they were relatively greater for a greater percentage of the population than they are today, when one wage earner could bring enough in to pay the bills and pay the mortgage and keep the family ticking over. These days unless 2 breadwinners are working it’s very difficult to even access a mortgage. When people say Generation Y aren’t working, I remember that when I went to university, university education was free, tertiary education was free. These days, Generation Y are saddled with debt up to their neck before they even started earning. Most of them are forced to study as well as work part-time in boring poorly-paid jobs. Jobs that pay $10 per hour, $12 an hour if that, sometimes less. So what we have seen is change. What we have seen is the privatisation of young adulthood. In communities, where the state’s primary function is control, how families survive, to a large degree, is dependant on parents looking after children and children looking out for parents. In more sophisticated societies where the state has been forced, through work place action and community action, to provide public education, free public education, free health care, and provide support and ensure the division of profits doesn’t just continue to accumulate in the pockets of those who own the means of production, distribution and exchange. That what we see is that younger people have greater liberty and there is no necessity for them to be supported by their parents financially until they’re in their early 30’s. Because they could access work, they could access free education and they could access a lot of things that these days, people have to pay for.

So to think that Generation Y finds itself in some luxurious situation where their Baby Boomer parents are paying for everything, is a lie. It’s a lie. It does not reflect the reality that hundreds of thousands of young adults are finding themselves in, in this country as we speak. And tens of thousands are immigrating overseas in order to access meaningful, well-paying jobs which they can’t access in this country. Because even if you go to the trouble of going through tertiary education, when you are churned out at the end of the day it doesn’t mean that you have access to work or meaningful work. Because what we’ve seen is government after government over the past 2 decades decreasing the investment which is necessary so that young people, younger adults, have skills which they can use in order to accumulate wealth. So, we find ourselves in this situation for one very good reason. Because we have allowed public institutions and public assets to be privatised. We have fallen for the furphy, the user-pay furphy. We’ve fallen for the idea that if you let the private market have its head, then everything will be hunky-dory and competition will ensure everybody has white goods and everybody has a job etc, etc. so what we are seeing in this country as we are seeing in the agricultural sector is the creation of a two-tier society. A society where one group that has access to resources and money has opportunities because they can buy those opportunities. And another group that no longer has equality of opportunity, and I’m not even talking about equality, I’m talking about equality of opportunity. We are now facing a situation that people faced in this country before WW2 and in the 50’s and in the early 1960’s, where what opportunities you were able to access depended on the wealth your parents had accumulated. And all the gains that were made through the struggles of the 50’s and 60’s have now disappaited, have gone away. And that’s why so many young adults find themselves in such precarious positions financially. Not because they’re lazy, not because they don’t want to work, not because they expect their parents to look after them, because even if they do work and study, what beckons at the end of the tunnel isn’t a very good sight. So in many regards, we are now harvesting what was sown in the 80’s and 90’s. A society where opportunity depends upon the income of your family.
