Freedom flotilla

Paradigm Shift 4zzz FM 102.1 Fridays at noon – 19 Oct 2018

Resistance
In recent years, resistance to occupation has taken many different forms: the Great March of Return in Palestine, West Papuan refugees rowing their canoes to Australia to escape Indonesian occupation and massacre and to set up community in Melbourne, and the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza, now in its 9th year.

In November 2018 a group called ‘Sail for Justice’ is sailing from Melbourne to Manus Island where the Australian government is breaching international covenants by incarcerating refugees in a hellhole.

This episode of the Paradigm Shift takes a detailed look at three Freedom flotilla’s and asks what are the benefits and what are the risks.

Freedom Flotillas

Chris Graham on the al Awda making its way to Gaza  in 2018.

Today’s show features an interview with Chris Graham (editor of New Matilda) who was on the ‘Freedom Flotilla to Gaza 2018‘ earlier this year and spoke at UQ Students for Justice in Palestine a month ago.

Andy interviews Izzy Brown (Combat Wombat) who is an organiser for ‘Sail for Justice‘ from Melbourne to Manus Island to challenge the Australian government’s violation of human rights by detaining refugees offshore on Manus.

Hear Danny, a West Papuan who was an eyewitness of the Biak massacre in 1998 and one of 43 West Papuan asylum seekers, give his account of a dramatic canoe journey to Australia in 2006.

Before we go to the interviews I’d like to capture, for those among you who may not be sailors, what it is like to be at sea at night under the power of wind looking up at Orion for guidance … here is a beautiful song by local band Jumping Fences called ‘Satellites’

“Climate change is the great moral challenge of our generation”

– Kevin Rudd, 31 March 2007 at the
National Climate Summit
at Parliament House,
in Canberra.

Paradigm Shift This week we talk climate change action. We speak with climate scientist Andrew King about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on reducing global warming to 1.5 degrees; and with Ruth Cobbold about blockading and partying for the climate.

Andrew King (University of Melbourne) says the Paris agreement was to keep the temperature to below 2 degrees rise above pre-industrial levels. Result could be bad even at 1.5 degrees, we would lose 70% of our coral reefs. Lose an whole eco-system. Hotter summer temperatures. 50 degree days in Melbourne and Sydney. we are on track for further global warming. By 2030 we should reduce emissions by 50% and completely by 2050. Those goals are not achieveable without change in the way we live. We are looking at 3 degrees the way we are going now. Bad storm surges, more tropical cyclones. 1.5 degree target very optimistic. To turn around we need to work out which countries need to reduce emissions.

Ruth Cobbold who grew up in Tasmania strikes an optimistic note, mentions the Dutch court action on its government. Is organising a BOZONE layer party, artists and musicians coming together to support carbon neutrality. P. Hunt and the vessels. What is the value of this way of organising. Turnstyles organised the Leard forest blockade. Camp Nuga at Bowen is run by front line action of coal (a grassroots group) and organised Act Up which stopped the world largest coal port for a day.

IPCC report – Climate Change report warnings
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released on 8 Oct 2018 predicts global warming of between 1.5°C and 2°C, which means death of coral reefs and melting of Arctic Ice.

Meanwhile, both Queensland and Australian governments say our future lies with coal. In graph form the prediction looks like this:

Tim Flannery immediately called on the Australian government to stop burning coal (ABCs Radio National LNL program).

Government Response
No renewable energy policy, the National Energy Guarantee is no longer supported by Australian government (ditched by Scott Morrison).

The Prime Minister says that the problem lies elsewhere.

The climate skeptics say Australia’s economy and therefore jobs are tied to coal. Graham Lloyd writing in The Australia claims: the ‘UN’s climate change panel inhabits a universe without parallel‘

The report highlights how climate change can effect poverty. Also scientific reports link drought brought…

Frontier wars – ‘whispering in our hearts’

This week we discuss the Frontier Wars which persisted in colonial Australia right up to Federation in 1901 and beyond. Andy interviews historians Henry Reynolds and Lyndall Ryan. You can listen to the podcast

Henry Reynolds talks about the whispering in our hearts and about the injustice of settlers stealing aboriginal land.
Lyndall Ryan and her team have constructed an interactive indigenous massacre map. Lyndall Ryan is a professor at Newcastle University. She has spent the last four years drawing up a digital map of massacres of first nations people in Australia. There are 250 massacre sites on the map so far.

Click Map to see detail

The results are pretty grizzly for example:

early hunting
Aboriginal hunters in ‘the greatest estate on Earth’

“Richard Frederick, master of the VDL Co sloop, Fanny, told Mrs Hare, wife of the captain of the Caroline, that he and four shepherds had surprised a party of Aborigines at Cape Grim, killing 12 before retreating to their ship. Mrs Hare recorded the incident in her diary on January 19. The manager of the Company in a report to his superiors in London on January 14 acknowledged the attack but claimed there were no casualties because “the guns mis-fired.””

Massacres like this were much more common than the professor thought.  Perhaps   because they were often covered up. On another occasion in the same district Edward Curr (my great, great,great,great grandfather) the local magistrate and manager of the Van Diemen’s Land (VDL) company assisted in another cover-up claiming that a war would break out if he took action against the culprits.

Four shepherds employed by the VDL Co, Charles Chamberlain, John Weavis, William Gunshannon and Richard Nicholson, crept up on a group of Aborigines hunting and shot 30 dead and then threw their bodies to the rocks below. The incident was reported by a VDL Company officer, Alexander Goldie to Lieutenant-governor Arthur in Hobart in November 1829. Arthur then ordered his agent, G.A. Robinson to investigate the incident during his visit to the area between June and September 1830. Robinson interviewed two of the four perpetrators who confirmed the number killed and the location of the incident but said that only one woman had been shot. He then interviewed an Aboriginal woman witness, who confirmed the number killed but insisted that many of the victims were women. However, Edward Curr, the superintendent of the VDL Company, in a despatch to his superiors in London on October 7 1830, reported that only six Aborigines were killed and several wounded and then revised down the number killed to three.

In 2014, Lyndall Ryan from Newcastle Uni applied for a grant to the Australian literature council.  One of the first problems she faced was what define a massacre.  Prof Ryan resolved that a massacre ‘was the killing of six undefended people in one operation’.

Massacre impacts on a whole community. Take 20 people living together on a riverbank. If six people are killed, it makes it very difficult for them to continue and survive – to hunt for food to reproduce and it makes them vulnerable to disease.

If there are a lot of massacres, that takes it into the realm of genocide. The professor said her findings were hard to come to grips with. There are 250 sites on the map so far (make a selection and click inside them and go in to see where the massacres occurred and what happened. They were everywhere. They show what a lying bastard John Howard and his cohort were. Keith Windshuttle woud have to take some responsibility also by applying legal sophistry. Windshuttle uses the false notion that an accused who is found by ‘not guilty’ where the test is ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ means that he did not commit the offence. Windshuttle spends his time casting doubt on well documented history of the massacres where ‘on the balance of probability’ they did occur.

Lyndall Ryan’s work was largely collating information that was already there. There were incidents as recent as the 1940s, or even the 1960s. Aboriginal people have always known this; they know that the past is a story of violence visited upon them, and it is a wake-up call for the settlers. For settlers to come to terms with our violent past. The professor said that on some days she just could not work on the project, it was too much, too sad.

The history wars of 15 years ago were an attempt to suppress the past. John Howard talking on the ABC’s Radio National is still trying to suppress our past (I think Howard should be banned from the ABC, he is a liar and a war monger [Iraq] but a cautious one).  But the digital map is visible proof to everybody. Professor Ryan thinks that there must be some attempt to memorialise what has happened. To acknowledge our pass in some way.

Henry Reynolds – ‘whispering in our hearts‘.
Whispering in our hearts.jpgDiscusses a book by the same name that Henry wrote 20 years ago and has just released as a second edition with two added chapters to bring it up-to-date.

The book is about the people who from the earliest days took political action to prevent the theft of aboriginal land, the massacres and genocide that occurred.

According to Henry Reynolds this is not a ‘white saviour narrative’. In 1967 there was a referendum about recognition of aboriginal people and this was a modern example of do-gooders trying to make a difference.

The organisation that brought on the referendum was called the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCATSI). In 1970 Aboriginal people left the organisation and set up their own to continue the struggles ahead e.g. land rights.

By the 1820s, a few people in the colony were protesting, writing letters to newspapers, to missionary organisations in England. They lost friends and were made very unpopular.

According to Henry Reynolds it is a mythology that convicts escaped and fought, leading Aboriginal resistance. One such person was William Buckley (1780 – 30 January 1856). Buckley was an English convict who was transported to Australia, escaped, was given up for dead and lived in an Aboriginal community for many years. Another was Sean McDonaugh  who is the subject of the song by Paddy McHugh (see below).  Reynolds questions how effective convicts would’ve been as leaders, given the fact that they lacked the language and knowledge to lead aboriginal people. Aboriginal groups would not accept leadership from white people.

Reynolds gave the example of Richard Wendemeyer who came from a family dynasty in New South Wales and had been granted land up on the Hunter river. Wendemeyer felt justified in taking the land and explained his reasons but he then questions: ‘why aren’t we satisfied, what means this whispering in the bottom of our hearts’.

There was the other example of George Augustus Robinson in Tasmania who was deeply concerned when squatters were coming in and taking over large areas of land and that there was no place for aborigines. It was George Robinson who reported to local magistrate Edward Curr that there had been a massacre in his district in 1829. Curr had assisted in covering-up the massacre. Robinson could see that there was no transfer of land back to aboriginal people and impossible for them to survive. He reported to London that there was legally ‘no place for their feet’.

Officials in Sydney read his comments but put them aside, however in London and they went up the chain and it brought into being a concept of the pastoral lease which means land  could not be taken away from aboriginal use in customary life. This was ignored up until the Wik People vs Queenland case in 1996. In other words, Robinson’s complaint had no real effect until recently and formed the basis for indigenous land use agreements ILUAs in Native Title legislation.

Reynolds was in the thick of the history wars. It is important to remember that there will always people who complained about settlement on Aboriginal land.

No Gatton Women’s Prison

1 Comment

This week we talk about prisons – especially women and children in prison. Interviews with Meg Rodahan about the campaign against the new women’s prison at Gatton, and Belinda Lowe from Amnesty International about their campaign to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14.

Listen at http://www.4zzz.org.au/program/paradigm-shift/2018-09-28

There is and alarming increase in the number of women being incarcerated, particularly Aboriginal women.

Meg Rodahan (No Gatton Prison): Oppose the Gatton facility. Women are being taken from Wacol to to a new prison at Gatton to be run by SERCO which run prisons in Western Australian and detention centres for refugees.

Gatton will be a privately owned prison.

Gatton is a long way away from the city and there is no public transport so it is difficult for families to visit the women. 40% of the women imprisoned are on remand. That in for non-violent offences, like drugs and DVO orders taken out by police. No Gatton Prison is calling for a stop to prison expansion.

Has organised fundraising gig to go towards the bail program for women. No Gatton Prison has a petition before the Qld parliament. Their demands are:

  1. Call for Southern Queensland Correctional Centre to be returned to public operation immediately.
  2. Commit to a moratorium on prison expansion in Queensland (including a commitment to stop all current or planned construction of new cells and new prisons).
  3. Call on the Government to immediately implement and fund strategies to reduce the number of adults and children in Queensland prisons.

Click this link to open the E-Petition: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/petition-details?id=3013 . .

There are only a few days left to sign the petition!

Join us in calling on the Queensland Government to return Southern Queensland Correctional Centre to public operation and stop selling out vulnerable women to private companies like Serco.

If you’re a Qld resident, sign the petition here: http://bit.ly/2PQZFhE

__oOo__

Belinda Lowe (Amnesty) is calling on the Queensland government to increase the age of criminal responsibility from 10 years to 14 years. In 1976 the Queensland government raised the age from 8 to 10 years old. In 2016/17, 150 children in the 10 to 14 years  age group were locked up.

There are major health issues, many of the children are suffering from deafness (middle ear infections) and foetal alcohol syndrome (30%). The government is using a criminal-justice response rather than health response. Aboriginal children are over represented jails. Aboriginal kids at three times more likely to have an ear infection and resulting deafness makes it hard for them to understand when they are given instructions at school. They have far greater contact the police. Many of the injustices have been outlined in the NT Royal commission into give you some children at Dondale juvenile prison.

The best way to deal with kids is to have Aboriginal-led, culturally appropriate intervention. There are a number of successful models where Aboriginal elders have been given a direct responsibility for the children. The age of criminal responsibility in other countries is higher, for example in Russia it is 14 years. To get more information go to http:\\www.amnesty.org.au . There is currently has a petition before the Qld parliament.

The Mess We’re In

Leave a comment

September 21, 2018

We speak with Bernard Keane, author of the new book “The  Mess We’re In – How politics went to hell and dragged us with it” about  neoliberalism, the internet and political disengagement. And about how we can try to work towards a better world. Listen @ http://4zzz.org.au/program/paradigm-shift/2018-09-21

Andy interviews Bernard Keane about the current world-wide malaise suffered in the economic, political and social spheres. This crisis is typified by such phenomena as the election of Trump in the U.S., Brexit in the UK, and racist populism in Europe. Keane notes that this is not new, that the Trump didn’t get that many votes and we’ve had versions of this political crisis before.

The Crisis
He says that there are three kinds of disruption that are causing the crisis that the like of which has not been felt since the 1930s: 1. Political disengagement 2. Neoliberalism 3. Internet Keane defined neoliberalism as the economic orthodoxy in place since the 1980s where there have been attempts to minimise government, introduce markets where they did not previously exist, reduce taxes and deregulate the economy. He said that wages have ‘marked time’ and this system has stopped working for the majority of people. This has resulted in social dislocation disengagement and disaffection. 

Neoliberalism
In his book Bernard Keane claims this has led to dissolution with the political system even though he says we are wealthier and enjoying better living conditions. Politics is less participatory. In the 1950s, 1 in 20 people were members of a political party now it is less than 1 in 100. This disengagement by voters has been accompanied by professionalised political parties. In the post war era politicians had some other career for example they were in business or were unionists. Now this has been outsourced to a political group who come from similar backgrounds and the politics is hollowed out and disengaged from the rest of the community. Right-wing populists have responded with slogans like ‘give back control to the people’. However Trump and other right-wing leaders are not offering greater control for the people.

De-politicisation
There are long-term forces at play. We have gone through a long period of growth in the post-war era. There has been a sectional contest over resources. Ideology has vanished with the fall of the Soviet Union. It is coming down to who manages the economy best. According to clean the biggest factor in this disengagement was the Iraq war in 2003. It was an illegal war without accountability and showed that the system served the powerful.

Internet
The Internet has had abroad impact causing disruption in a number of industries i.e. the media. Even though there has been automation over the past 200 years the Internet has a different form. It has had a dramatic effect on the way we communicate with the long-term social impacts. We became a different society with television but now the Internet has connected us up so that geography has been abolished. This has affected our brains. We do not remember as much – similar to the time when writing and print was introduced. The difference is the Internet has happened over the last 20 years whereas writing was developed over centuries. Humanity is moving online. Print had an edit economic political impact over a long period. Internet has a much shorter time frame.

How to fix it
Keane says it’s important to regain trust in the system, not a faux control. Whose book offers some positive policy alternatives. However Keane says we need greater transparency because we don’t see what is going on insider government what do they are discussing. He says we need an independent anti-corruption body and a taxation system that is fair. Everyone needs to pay their fair share. This system is not working for The average person neoliberalism is the fundamental issue in creating disequilibrium between workers and corporations e.g Aged Care. Keane says we need to get power back to people, participate more and voters can fix the system.

Comment
There are other currents in the political system other than populism, namely opportunism and idealism. Keane says that people are wealthier, this may be true of the middle class but is it true of workers and poor people – his book lacks a class analysis. His critique is eurocentric focusing on the West. He places faith in parliamentary democracy which has not delivered anything like worker control of production. On the other hand no one has come up with a solution for the current malaise. The former Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, describes the instability of parliamentary democracy this way: ‘Australia has become the coup capital of the world’. Whilst this is an exaggeration, no government has fallen, it shows failure of parliament to face environmental, social, economic and political crisis ahead.

Banks of Marble

Leave a comment
I’ve traveled around this country
From shore to shining shore
And it really makes me wonder
What the world is coming to
I see the weary farmer
Just plowing up the loam
And I see the auction hammer
A’selling off his home
                                         – Banks of Marble by Pete Seeger

We get an update on the banking royal commission from a coupl eof academics with different views on the banking sector – Andrew Grant and Evan Jones give us an overview and a critique of the investigation into banking malpractice.

Andy interviews
Andrew Grant gives factual account of Banking Royal Commission.

Evan Jones is very critical of the banks and the system that producpete seegered it.

The Lurkers – Rotten to the core is derivative of (and a reference to)  an old song The Banks of Marble by Pete Seeger. Both songs are deeply critical of capitalism.

Andrew Grant refers back to the sub-prime mortgage crisis in 2008. New complaints have been made against the banks for lending money which the borrower can’t repay.
