RADIO DEMOCRACY PLAYLIST FOR 17 SEPTEMBER 2008

On today's show we spoke with Dave from the Mexico-Australia Solidarity Network about this weekend's launch of BEYOND RESISTANCE, EVERYTHING, a book-length interview with Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in Chiapas, Mexico. The event is on 12 noon this Saturday at Ahimsa House - 26 Horan St West End. See www.masn.org.au for more info.

We heard excerpts from a public meeting with Lex Wotton, who is facing charges over the "riot" on Palm Island following the death in custody of his kinsmen Mulrunji Doomadgee, Lex and his solicitor Stuart Levitt gave us some insights into this case and broader issues of indigenous sovereignty and black deaths in custody. Stay tuned to Zed for more info on this case in anticipation of Lex's trial and check out the Aboriginal Rights Coalition site at http://aboriginalrightscoalition.wordpress.com/ for updates.

Vicki Bridgstock from Save the Regent gave us an update on the Regent Cinemas redevelopment , widely publicised in the mainstream media and by the state government as having been 'saved' by the latest Joh-esque development plan.The campaign continues. http://www.debritz.com/str/
