Australia’s youth radio station, Triple J, has been following the campaign against the Patriotic Youth League, and covered it on the Hack current affairs program on Tuesday, 18 January. You can listen to an MP3 of the segment here.
The following day, the PYL had organised a rally, but we smashed them. “We” is a conglomeration of Greens, Labor left, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), the Labor Council (Unions NSW), the Socialist Alliance, Resistance and other assorted activist groups who today staged a massive counter-protest against the PYL in Sydney.
It was a clandestinely-organised affair, because we didn’t want the PYL to chicken out and waste our time. I was originally tipped off a few days back that the PYL were planning a Sydney rally by going through their message boards.
