PALMER FOREST NEEDS YOUR HELP! Palmer forest is situated near Collie in the state's South West. It is one of the last remaining high conservation value (HCV) forests containing significant numbers of large old growth jarrah trees. The area provides an important habitat for many native species including Black-Faced Wallabies, Red and White-tailed Black Cockatoos, Echidnas, Wedge-tailed Eagles, Brush-tailed Possums, Fairy Wrens, Dunnarts and Mardos.

Palmer forest was meant to be protected under the Gallop Government's previous election promises because of its high conservation value (HCV). This promise has been broken. Logging could begin in Palmer at any time.

Days after the recent WA State election the Forest Products Commission (FPC) began marking out 290 hectares of this HCV forest in preparation for logging. The FPC expects to get 12,100 m3 of 1st and 2nd grade saw logs, representing the highest volume per hectare of jarrah on this years logging plan at 42 m3/ha. These high volumes are because of the many large old growth jarrah trees that can be found in the Palmer forest block.

Most of the wood will go to sawmills owned by GUNNS; who are responsible for wood chipping Tasmania's ancient forests.

::International Day Against Homophobia and GENDERFUCK Day::



Discussion from Perth Indy Radical Radio [Weds 18 May 2005]. WA Queer activists, Rod Swift and Belinda Cooper talk about International Day Against Homophobia and National Day of GENDERFUCK! - MP3. Duration 24 Minutes. Size: 8MB

Perth Indymedia Radio 7-8pm WEDs RTRFM

INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA

GALEWA Says: "It's Homophobia That's Queer" - from the Perth IMC Newswire.

According to opinion widely held, homosexuality is said to be freer today than ever before. For the slightly more attentive observer, the situation is globally very different.

Tuesday 17th May is International Day Against Homophobia.
Wednesday 18th May is National GENDERFUCK DAY!

[ What is Homophobia? ] [ The Fear Behind The Hatred ] [ The Emotional Origin of Homophobia ] [ Sexual Prejudice - Understanding Homophobia and Heterosexism ]

Towards an international recognition of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Trans People: http://www.idahomophobia.org/

Despite homosexuality's apparent visibilty [in the street, in the newspapers, on television, at the movies, recent legislative advances made in many countries for the recognition of same sex couples], the more attentive observer notes that the situation is globally very different. Indeed the 20th century was the most violently homophobic period of history: deportation to concentration camps under the Nazi regime, Soviet gulags, blackmail and persecution in the United States in the McCarthy era...

Homosexuality is discriminated against everywhere: in at least 80 countries, homosexual acts are forbidden by law; in many countries, the punishment can exceed ten years in prison; sometimes, the law prescribes life imprisonment. And in a dozen countries, capital punishment may be actually carried out. In Africa, recently, several presidents have brutally acted on their will to combat personally this "scourge" which they consider "anti-African".

Even in other countries where homosexuality is not considered a crime, persecutions have multiplied. In Brazil, for example, death squads and skin heads spread terror: 1,960 homophobic murders have been officially reported between 1980 and 2000. In these conditions, it is difficult to think that "tolerance" is gaining ground. So, homophobia appears more violent today than ever before.

The International Day Against Homophobia "will articulate action and reflection in order to struggle against all physical, moral, or symbolic violence related to sexual orientation or to gender identity. It intends to inspire, support, and coordinate all initiatives contributing to the equality among citizens in right, as well as in fact, and to achieve this in all countries where action is possible."

National Day of Genderfuck!



The Queer Collaborations Collective www.qc05.com has organised a National Day of action on May the 18th called 'Genderf*#k Day'.

As the LGBTIQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) community, we are complex and diverse. Each generation battles with social and political issues of equality and human rights. We fight for our rights and then we have to battle to keep them. It is a struggle. We generally take for granted what we have won in the past, and some issues are only taken seriously when we have to face them in a crisis...

WHAT THE GENDERFUCK?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderfuck

The Queer Collaborations Collective http://www.qc05.com/

To Genderfuck is to deliberately send mixed messages about ones sex, usually through dress.

The QC 2005 theme for the queer student conference is '{Queer}ying Gender'. The purpose is to raise discussion and awareness surrounding Gender, Intersex and Trans issues.

Most importantly it is to educate individuals of the sheer complexity of what gender can mean from one person to the next.

http://www.qc05.com/genderfuck/genderfuck.html

'Genderf*#k Day May 18th', is an opportunity to involve more than just queer students. The aim is to involve entire Universities and the community nationally, even Internationally as National Union of Students have begun to inform others in the UK and US. It is a day of action that deal s with some tough, challenging and confronting concepts surrounding gender. When you add cultural implications of what gender can be and start deconstructing gender binaries, things start to get really interesting.
