As it did with regime change in Libya and in Iraq the US decided to destabilise Venezuela and take the oil. Russia, China and Cuba oppose it. The US created a political crisis where Maduro is embattled. They fund the opposition groups. They created the humanitarian crisis by placing an embargo on US goods and medicines into the country. They waited for a huge tornado to hit Cuba. They made a call for the greater democracy and their allies including Australia support this. Then Trump anoints a new unelected President.
After all, the amount of oil country has is directly proportional to the amount of democracy that it needs and that the West can supply.

Call for truth and Reconciliation by Sam Watson Aboriginal leader calls for truth and reconciliation commission to hold white Australia to account.
“There is still a long way to go,” Sam Watson said.
“There are still issues that are unresolved.
“We still don’t have a treaty.”
He called for “basic honestly from white Australia” about the history of our nation.
“We didn’t give them our country, we didn’t sell our country, they stole this country by armed invasion,” Uncle Sam Watson told the rally.
“To this day, white Australia has never been held accountable…there should be a truth and reconciliation commission here in Australia…white Australia needs to be held to account for the crimes against humanity, perpetrated against our people.
“This blood, this land, this suffering that belongs to our mob, there has to be a reckoning…”
Guniwaya Ngigu (WE FIGHT) 1982
In 1971, two pieces of legislation were introduced into Queensland state law. The Queensland Aborigines Act, and the Torres Strait Islanders Act, which made the oppression of Black People in Queensland legal.
In a country that claims to be against apartheid in South Africa, we have a separate law governing Black People.
In 1982, the Queensland government brought down the Commonwealth Games Act in an attempt to prevent Black People from using the Brisbane-held Commonwealth Games to voice their opposition to white oppression.
It was in this atmosphere of state-generated terror and threatened violence from the Australian Army and the Queensland police that the following events took place…..

Shona and Craig present voices of resistance, defiance and truth-telling from some of the hundreds of sovereign nations across the continent of Australia. These stories are transmitted through song, through poetry, through music and through speaking up.
We pay our respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which
we broadcast from. We acknowledge their elders, past, present and
emerging. We acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded.
We acknowledge the hundreds of massacres that took place across this
country and the ongoing killing and oppression of First Nations people.
And we acknowledge our own place in this structure of violent
invasion and occupation. We look to the voices you’ll hear today not
only to understand the oppression of First Nations peoples, but because
we in invader culture have been deprived of the basic human knowledge of
what it means to live in a peaceful society.

Aunty Rosalie Kunoth-Monks
So this week we’ve had the horrifying news of the spate of suicide of
First Nations kids across the continent, with five dead. And it reminded
me of Robbie Thorpe’s discussion of the links between genocide,
homicide, ecocide and suicide and this is a piece Craig produced in the
lead up to Invasion Day last year.
Vicki Roach
Let’s Talk – hosted on Brisbane Indigenous Media Association’s 989
FM. Its hosted by Boe Spearim – a Gomeroi man and formidable activist in
Meanjin and nationally. All this week, Boe’s been talking to First
Nations activists about their views on Australia Day and Invasion Day;
including Gary Foley, Celeste Liddle, Luke Pearson from Indigenous X and
activists from Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance. So you can put
“Let’s Talk” into your podcast browser and find it all there.
On 20 and 21 November 2018 Let’s Talk broadcast parts 1 & 2 of
the ‘Challenging the Racist Carceral System’ panel discussion, which Boe
Spearim recorded at the 9th Sisters Inside International Conference
called Imagining Abolition A World Without Prisons. Chairing the panel
is Neta-Rie Mabo (Youth Worker from Sisters Inside), and joining
Neta-Rie is Latoya Hohepa (sister of Wayne Fella Morrison who died in
custody at Yatala prison South Australia), Julia Whaipooti
(Wellingtonian social justice warrior who wants to reshape the ‘pale,
male, stale’ world of law), Professor Tracey McIntosh (Professor of
Indigenous Studies and Co-Head of Te Wānanga o Waipapa at the University
of Auckland), Vickie Roach (Yuin woman and prison abolishonist), Amy
McQuire (Darumbal and South Sea Islander woman from Rockhampton.
We’re going to play three of the really powerful talks from that
panel, we’ve edited them down a bit for length but you can hear the full
panel at Lets Talk.
We’ll start with Yuin woman Vicki Roach. She’s a writer, poet and
prison abolitionist. In 2007 she lead and won, a High Court challenge to
the Howard Government’s ban on prisoners’ right to vote – again,
achieving this from a cell at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre women’s
prison.

Latoya
Next on the Sisters Inside panel is Latoya Hohepa – sister of Wayne Fella Morrison reading up a piece she’d written.
One of the reasons we’re playing Sisters Inside panel, is that
they’ve been fighting against the imprisonment of people for unpaid
fines in WA – and single Aboriginal mothers make up the majority of
those who go to jail under this policy. If you want to contribute to
that fundraiser: Go to “Go Fund Me” and type in “Sisters Inside” and
you’ll see it there. I’ve tipped in a couple of dollars. And please
share it on social media

Tribe woman whose totem is the Beuger (Fridget Bird). Through her
father’s bloodline, she is a Peidu (warrior) Tribe woman, whose totem is

panel. Amy is a Durumbal and South Sea Islander woman who grew up in
Rockhampton and Central Queensland. She’s also an award-winning
journalist, and her podcast Curtain which looks at the wrongful
conviction in a murder case in Rockhampton is one of the most stunning
pieces of investigative journalism to come out of this continent.

Victoria’s Eviction Vindictiveness Interview with Victoria Brazil who booted 4ZZZ off campus at UQ on 14 December 1988.
Playlist Jumping Fences – The Quiet of the Winter Moon & Distancia y latido*
*’Distancia y latido’ means distance and heartbeat (yearning) and was written by Cuban Frank Gonzalez whom Sue Monk and Lachlan Hurse met in Havanna during the 1990s. It is a contemporary bolero sung with beautiful intonation by Sue Monk.
Victoria’s Eviction Vindictiveness Interviewer: Can you please introduce yourself? Victoria Brazil: My name is Victoria Brazil. I am Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director of Simulation at Bond University.
INTERVIEWER: Where did you study?
Victoria Brazil: Havard and Stanford Universities.
INTERVIEWER: No, I mean before that.
Victoria Brazil: I did my Bachelors of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Queensland.
INTERVIEWER: When was that?
Victoria Brazil: That would have been in the late 1980s.
INTERVIEWER: Did you participate in any extra-curricula activities?
Victoria Brazil: Yes, I was President of the University of Queensland Student Union.
INTERVIEWER: Oh. How many members did the student union have in 1988?
Victoria Brazil: Not sure but off the top of my head; about 20,000 members, I’d say.
INTERVIEWER: That many?
Victoria Brazil: Student unions were compulsory back then.
INTERVIEWER:What sort of business did the student union run?
Victoria Brazil: You mean like the refectory? Well, it had Clubs and Societies, a Medical Centre, a Crèche, a bar and of course it organised parties for the students.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t it run an FM radio station called 4ZZZ?
Victoria Brazil: Oh yes, it did have that as well.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t it run a newspaper called Semper Floreat?
Victoria Brazil: Yes, that too.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t the student union run a cinema called the Schonell Theatre?
Victoria Brazil: I didn’t have much to do with the Schonell.
INTERVIEWER: But wasn’t the Schonell Theatre a big money spinner for the union putting on World Premiers like Woody Allen’s Annie Hall?
Victoria Brazil: Annie Hall was before my time; besides, I was too busy studying.
INTERVIEWER: What can you tell the listener about 4ZZZ?
Victoria Brazil: Not much.
INTERVIEWER: I’d like you to comment on this eviction notice you personally served on Darren a volunteer announcer doing the graveyard shift at 4ZZZ on 14th December 1988.
Victoria Brazil: I have no comment. That was 30 years ago, I’ve moved on.
INTERVIEWER: I’m wondering if you were in breach of the broadcasting act shutting down a radio station while it was operating.
Victoria Brazil: No comment.
INTERVIEWER: Wasn’t the eviction of the student radio station a cause célèbre at that time?
Victoria Brazil: There was a lot of fuss but, from memory, there was really not much to it.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t hundreds of people turn up to defend the station that very morning?
Victoria Brazil: I don’t think it was that many. From memory I received legal advice that the station owed the union money and to be quite frank, the station was a rathole with all kinds of illegal activities going on there.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t the station continue to broadcast from Mt Cootha after you locked them out of their premises and placed armed security guards at the entrance?
Victoria Brazil: I don’t recall what the station did.
INTERVIEWER: Didn’t student union members occupy your office in the UQ union complex until you withdrew your attempt to evict 4ZZZ.
Victoria Brazil: Yes, they climbed into my office through ceiling tiles. We entered into negotiations with the station for them to vacate their studios in a responsible manner.
INTERVIEWER: Who supported your attempt to evict the station.
Victoria Brazil: The Queensland government, Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and the University Senate.
INTERVIEWER: The University Senate is going to take a wrecking ball to where 4ZZZ studios once stood. They propose demolition of the whole UQ Union Complex: the forum area, the Schonell theatre, the refectory, and the union building. How do you feel about that?
Victoria Brazil: I can’t really comment, I work for a rival university … but remember this, if you are one of those horrid Triple Zed types, I won. Your precious station was booted out. You had no place there. I hope they leave no trace that you were ever there.
INTERVIEWER: I was one of the people who turned up to defend the station in December 1988. We were defending free speech and independent media. It is true, the station fell on hard times after it left UQ. Triple Zed was never perfect but at least we stand for something. We came out of the struggle against the Vietnam war and opposition to racist apartheid in South Africa. Before you were President the student union did support us and some time after the station left, so did the Communist Party by selling 4ZZZ its headquarters in Fortitude Valley at an affordable price. At least we are not at the mercy of a corporate University eager to turn its back on our heritage by demolishing a space that was theatre to democratic rights struggles against vile and reactionary governments.
Victoria Brazil: We left you nothing, you are nothing, you have no history, you can no longer rely upon the student union that squandered money on you for years. We stopped all that. [Hangs up].
Interviewer: That was one time President of the University of Queensland Student Union now Professor at Bond, a privately owned University on the Gold Coast. You are on 4ZZZ, still going strong in its 44th year as an independent radio broadcaster and 30 years after its eviction from the University of Queensland.

Paradigm Shift 4ZZZ fm 102.1 11 Jan 2019, Friday at Noon. On Thursday 10 Jan 2019 Nicholas Maduro was inaugurated as Venezuela’s President after closely fought elections with much violence on the streets. Leaders from Cuba, Bolivia and Georgia attended the swearing-in ceremony.
Ian talks with Eulalia Reyes de Whitney who is the convenor of the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network. Ian had fourteen issues he wished to address, they managed to cover five in a 40 minute live interview.
Presidential elections 2018
US Embargo
Violence on the streets
The legacy of Hugo Chavez
The parliamentary road
Elections in Venezuela Eulalia has recently returned from her native country after an extended visit of 5 months. During her stay, Eulalia participated as an international observer in Venezuelan Presidential and regional elections. Eulalia presents eye-witness accounts of the situation in Venezuela today. She speaks of the resilience of its people facing a political crisis and U.S. economic embargoes on that country.
Despite the crisis in Venezuela, there is near silence in the mainstream media in Australia about the 2018 elections and, what coverage there is, aligns itself with reports from the Organisation of American states.
Typical coverage of Venezuelan crisis by Murdoch Press in Australia.
Eulalia Reyes is keen to invite people in Brisbane to discuss ways of solidarity with the Venezuelan Bolivarian Revolution.
Future Action Eulalia made an open invitation to people to come to the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network at 1pm on Saturday 2 Feb 2019 at the Peace Centre in 102 McDonald Road Windsor. The meeting will discuss solidarity activities in 2019.

12pm Fri 28 Dec 2018: War of two worlds.
“War of Two Worlds” is about similarity between indigenous struggles in Chile, West Papua and Australia. This Paradigm Shift was about colonized people (mainly Mapuche & West Papuan) and their resistance, at least that is my aim. I mention in my introduction that I prepared the show because of recent (and ongoing) extra-judicial killings of Mapuche activists in the South of Chile. I make no mention of Palestine but Sam Watson did mention it at the rally for the Mapuche on 1 Dec 2018. Of course where do we begin in a topic as big as colonisation? Vietnam? Algeria? The Great Plains of North America? The list is very long.
Whether my coverage of the response to the killings in Chile & West Papua is adequate, others can judge. We live in this time and this place, with all our limitations.
I include a tribute to an aboriginal brother, Robert Wharton, who died prematurely at the age of 39.
The show includes an interview by Andy with Danny (from West Papua) who tells of his amazing escape from death at the hands of the Indonesian military. Danny was an eyewitness of the Biak massacre in 1998 and one of 43 West Papuan asylum seekers, gives his account of a dramatic canoe journey to seek asylum in Australia in 2006
The show has many other voices as well: Marcella (Chile Solidarity), Lili (chaired rally in solidarity with Mapuche people of Chile in Brisbane on 1 Dec 2018) , Pablo on horn (Mapuche), Kristy-Lee (Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance, Brisbane Aboriginal Sovereign Embassy & founder of ‘Voices of the 3%’ ) Sam Watson (Socialist Alternative) and Robert Wharton an aboriginal artist who died just a few weeks ago.
Pablo plays Mapuche horn while supporters hold up first nations flags – Mapuche, West Papuan & Aboriginal flags
On 1 December 2018 in Brisbane activists, musicians and supporters conducted a solidarity action for first nations people of Chile, West Papua and Australia, protesting the assassination of Camilo Catrillanca by Chilean Jungle Commandoes on 14 November 2018.
Lili gives history of Mapuche struggle. Photo – Lachlan Hurse.
Lili Sanchez introduced the rally and condemned the extrajudicial killings of Mapuche leaders. For example young Mapuche activist, Camilo Catrillanca, was shot multiple times on 14 November 2018, surrounded by Carabineros de Chile and passed away without medical assistance.
Pablo plays Mapuche horn Photo – Lachlan Hurse.
War between two different world views Lilli gave a brief history of the Mapuche 500 year resistance struggle. Mapuche are indigenous people from Chile on both sides of the Andes. In the 1970s the progressive Allende government set aside land for the Mapuche. The Pinochet dictatorship gave the land to wealthy landholders
I’m here to offer my heart Lilli introduces Jumping Fences and Sue Monk describes how important music is in this and other struggles.
Unconquered Mapuche – visit to Mapuche country Gamillaray woman, Kristy Lee, describes her visit to Mapuche land and the repression of the state that she visited first hand. Very difficult for Mapuche to sell what they grow. Assassinations in Mapuche autonomous territory are being carried out by the Jungle squad. Mapuche remain unconquered and Kristy Lee proud to stand alongside another first nations people. Kristy-Lee attended many Mapuche ceremonies preserving their culture.
Mapuche sell their agriculture in a large city in the south but have to pay higher tax in the market.
Kristy Lee offers solidarity to Mapuche. Photo – Lachlan Hurse.
Touch One, Touch All At the rally Sam Watson Jnr said that the struggles of the Mauche, West Papuan, and Aboriginal and those of the Palestinians – wherever there has been colonialism – the struggle is the same. As a socialist he said we must resist (Touch one, Touch all). Symbolically Sam Watson Jr and comrades from each struggle combined all the flags (pictured).
People from each struggle agreed to come together and co-operate like this in the future. This event may herald a new era of Latin American and first nations activists in Brisbane. I certainly hope so.
