Full Description
The Howard Government's attacks on students, crystallized in legislation introducing so-called Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU), were met with determined opposition from students across the spectrum, as well as from education unions and supporters in the community. Melbourne saw a series of public rallies, many of which were reported on Melbourne Indymedia, if largely ignored in the mainstream media. This video is a compilation from coverage of three of these protests; reports on these and others can be found on Melbourne Indymedia as follows: April; a further report here; May - protest at Casselden Place - no report found on Melbourne Indymedia; August 10 (not included in this video) - and here; August 25; September (this was also a protest at the arrest and deporting of US peace activist Scott Parkin).
