JustAct - Just act for young Victorian workers
November 11, 2008
The Victorian Government can legislate to specifically protect young people (15-17) in Victorian workplaces. The Government is currently reviewing laws in this area and the Justice & International Mission Unit of the Uniting Church in Victoria and Tasmania has been positively liaising with the Government and other community groups about this issue. The Victorian Minister for Industrial Relations, the Hon. Rob Hulls has congratulated the church and community groups for their feedback so far. We are very hopeful for a good outcome.
Ensuring decent conditions for young workers should be a priority for Governments, employers and all others involved in the employment area. Many young people do not feel confident about negotiating their terms and conditions of employment.
There should be a set of standards for Victorian workplaces that are stronger than Commonwealth protections for workers 18 or above.

Kaiti Hill to kick off global Human Rights action
August 8, 2008
(From our Friends in NZ this morn - Great stuff guys) press link here
The lighting of a red flare at dawn on Titirangi (Kaiti Hill) will begin a worldwide action on Friday to
protest China’s human rights abuses within China and illegal occupation of Tibet.
Coinciding with the lighting of the Olympic torch in Beijing, red flares will burn from the highest
monuments and mountains around the world. Meeting at 6.30am at the top car park, organisers have invited Gisborne residents to show their concern for the plight of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who have been tortured, disappeared and killed by the Chinese government.
“Our own government prioritises profit for NZ companies above the lives of innocent people and
refuses to challenge the Chinese government on their appalling suppression of the Tibetan
people” said organiser Dave Tims. Mr Tims joined the global event through a contact in Melbourne and has connected with the global organisers in France who are rapt that the first flare will be lit in Gisborne as the first city to the greet the sun.
“We will remember Beijing housing activist Ye Guozhu and the thousands of other community
organisers and pro-democracy activists who have been killed or still languish in Chinese prisons
simply for speaking out and challenging the State.”
On a website promoting the call to action, international organisers made the following statement:
“We shall make these monuments talk the language of smoke, “the evanescent color of blood”, on the day on which the Olympic torch, a double-headed symbol of peace and hypocrisy, will light the Peking Olympics. At exactly sixty years from the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the repression of Tibet during an event of world-wide interest has become the symbol of failure and betrayal on behalf of international governments: the principles then ratified have been and are still, more or less diplomatically, denied. My friends and I in unison with other French activists, will move near, on sight, on top of, beneath, beside… the Eiffel Tower, in the heart of the city where UNESCO has it’s general headquarters, in a city that more than any other.”
