In response to a call for international support from the Association of Shoreline Farmers (Paguyuban Petani Lahan Pantai – PPLP), the Melbourne Anarchist Club (MAC) organised a protest outside the Indonesian Consulate in Melbourne this morning.

Fantin Reading Group
The ‘Fantin Reading Group’ is an anarchist reading group based in Melbourne, Australia.
We meet regularly to discuss anarchist and other radical texts.
The group is named in memory of Francesco Fantin, an Italian anarchist murdered by fascists in Loveday Internment Camp in Barmera, South Australia, on November 16, 1942.
Just a clarification, Ex Spectators are off the bill, instead “Encircling Spectators’ is a (probably) once off combination of members of Ex Spectator and Encircling Seas playing an instrumental set.
Btw, it’s BYO and possibly a limited supply of booze available.
I like yr editing of the invite by the way @ndy.
