February 23, 2025, marks the 3rd anniversary of Russian imperialism’s illegal and unjust war of aggression against Ukraine.
On February 25, 2022, we issued a statement condemning Putin’s invasion, saying “Ukraine has become the battleground of the rival imperialist blocs of the US-NATO-EU and of the Russian Federation. A struggle over imperialist spheres of influence is at the heart of the crisis. It arises due to the uneven development of ...

In the economic crisis that stalks Australia, there is only one solution. The struggle of Australian workers and working people.
Struggle is against the multinationals and their collaborators, struggle for increased wages, for adequate social services, for easing workload burdens, for shorter hours, for secure jobs and for housing we can afford. The common thread is to throw foreign monopoly corporations and their collaborators off our backs and out of ...

High-level diplomacy between the Cook Islands and Beijing has sent alarm bells ringing inside the elite US-led Five Eyes intelligence-sharing organisation; a heightening of diplomatic tensions and hostilities has proved easy to observe.

The matter, however, is best assessed in the context of the wider Pacific region and the recent decision by the Trump administration to suspend all foreign aid for at least ninety days.

Australian culture has come under attack on several fronts lately. In the past six months, two big multinational publishers have taken over two independent Australian publishing houses. Simon & Schuster took over Affirm Press and Penguin Random House took over Text Publishing. The big five overseas publishing companies (Penguin Random House, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins and Pan Macmillan) now control a large chunk of the Australian publishing industry. 

Vanguard has previously said that the National Party serves the interests of fossil fuel companies, miners and big graziers. 

In December 2022, the United States Study Centre of the University of Sydney released the results of a survey of Australian attitudes towards the “US-Australia Alliance”.

The decision by the Trump administration to temporarily suspend its foreign aid program has proved controversial. It has done little to convey an enlightened, planned, balanced and well-implemented foreign policy and diplomatic position. In fact, when viewed in the context of present Cold War diplomatic rivalry with China, the decision, might, justifiably, be viewed as a spectacular own goal, with serious implications for all US allies, including Australia in the ...

A certain organisation has commented this week on what it calls “China’s socialist revolution”.
The comment is little more than a repeat of the revisionist CCP’s rewriting of its own history. 

It is often said these days that while America (USA) is still the biggest imperialist power, that it is in decline.
A recent article in the online news service, Pearls and Irritations, provides some facts about the American empire's decline, The article is by Les Macdonald and was posted in Pearls and Irritations on February 9, 2025.

Australian Tax Office whistle-blower Richard Boyle is in the South Australian District Court today for a call-over hearing.
Boyle lost his last chance to secure immunity from prosecution when the High Court refused his application for special leave to appeal last November, after two South Australian courts previously rejected his bid. 

On Tuesday 4 February, the ACTU held an online webinar for affiliated Unions to outline the ACTU's plan for the fast-approaching federal parliamentary elections. The webinar was run by ACTU Secretary Sally McManus and President Michelle O'Neill with support from State and Territory Secretaries.
Over 700 people joined the webinar from a diverse range of Unions covering workers from many different industries and backgrounds.

The Rojava Revolution is a fire of rebellion and a torch of hope for women in the Middle East, in the midst of the most aggressive, most slavish strongholds of patriarchy in the region based on oppressive, colonialist, fascist regimes and unbridled bourgeois patriarchal states. The Rojava Revolution, which also developed as a women's revolution, is the achievement of all the women of the world.

The Trump plan to deport the Palestinian people from Gaza and the West Bank cannot be viewed in the same way as his rhetoric about purchasing Greenland from Denmark, merging Canada with the United States, or controlling the Panama Canal and the Gulf of Mexico. The plan to deport Palestinians is presented with high seriousness, and preparations for it are taking place behind the scenes to move the residents of ...

Very little coverage is given to events in Burma (Myanmar) by the Australian mainstream media.
However, recent developments show the military regime is increasingly besieged by a coalition of anti-regime armed forces, and has to rely on Chinese interference to maintain itself in power.

The US has an obsession with the interoperability of its military equipment and that used by its allies. It is regarded as an important factor linking the Pentagon with far-flung countries in the Indo-Pacific region. Moves by Canberra, therefore, to assess the ability of various countries across the region to challenge China, if the situation arises, carry all the hallmarks of US-led fears about the threat to their traditional hegemonic ...

The Adelaide Survival Day march was a resounding success.
This was despite an attempt by SA Labor Premier to dismiss discussion of the appropriateness of January 26 as “Australia Day” as “becoming ‘tired’, and that Australians should have a chance ‘to reflect on how lucky we are to live here’”.

A militant rally in the heart of Melbourne brought together a huge crowd of First Peoples and their allies in the on-going struggle against imperialist domination with all its colonial laws and other relics, and its racist oppression.
It was led and organised by the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance (WAR) with the theme “End colonialism – Smash imperialism”.

Voices quiet and roaring, young and old, female and male, marked the January 26 Invasion Day speeches in Sydney. 
The younger generations are rising and organising They began threads echoed by others, that struggle must be every day of the year, not just one, that genocide continues. They spoke of intergenerational trauma, but say, ‘We’re still here!’

Today on the 26th January 2025, in Butchulla country as well as across all of Australia, Survival day celebrations and ceremonies were held by Indigenous Australians and their allies. 

2025 marks 25 years since a secretly developed Business Council of Australia (BCA) agenda was put into action. Noel Pearson – who rightly saw corporations as key drivers of Australia, but wrongly saw them as allies for First Peoples – was its spokesperson. 
Beyond capitalism’s state apparatus for suppression (its jails, police, military, courts) and deception (its parliaments, media, cultural and education systems) the BCA embodied ruling class organisation.
