ANDREW WILKIE SPEAKS OUT 7.30pm Wednesday June 9 at the Hutley Hall, North Sydney Council $10 entry payable at the door Involvement with the Iraq war is providing alarming insights into the wobbly health of the Australian democracy. The government is habitually dishonest, the public service is increasingly politicised, whistleblowers are vilified personally and the mainstream media is often reluctant to do what it can to turn events around. Andrew Wilkie will explore all of these issues with the benefit of first-hand observations gathered as a true government insider ˆ until his resignation on principle a year ago.

The new activist educator is an organiser, teacher, consultant and theorist. What methods are being used today to equip activists to build social movements? Does activist education reflect a democratic agenda or is it largely instrumental? How do we know if educational practices are working? Are new theories of learning be utilised? This is the second of a three forum series looking at different education, organising and activist strategies being used by movements and organizations pursuing social justice and change agendas. Union activists, environmental campaigners, community advocates, educators and grassroots campaigners are participating in the forums. The forum will actively engage participants in discussing and analysing different experiences.
