State of Emergency is a series of panels, seminars, workshops, forums and ad hoc events that will happen in Melbourne from May 21st to May 24th. It will be a space in which we can share tactics and skills for disruption. A space in which we can debate, talk, find connections, think, learn, engage, dance, make art, make out. We want to bring it all together for a few days of grace -- and we want you there.

We will be holding panel discussions, screenings, music, and other random events. But we want to make the time open for your participation and input. Run a workshop, make a puppet, make some art, show a film, give a performance, or hold a discussion. We want this to be an open space, a space created by the people who enter it.

The SOE collective has scheduled the following panels, seminars and workshops but there is plenty of space and time for anyone to organise their own stuff. Just rock up on the day and there will be space for you to do what you want!

Keep an eye on the website for programme updates…

[jump to Friday | Saturday | Sunday | Monday]

----10am----

LOCATION !! LOCATION !!
State of Emergency will reclaim a warehouse in the inner north of Melbourne area, squat it and make it public for four days. It will be meeting-place, bar, cafe, cinemas, music hall, accommodation and play-space. We do this as a declaration of our intent to reclaim our worlds and our lives. We squat to resist private property, to create an autonomous space, organised without bureaucracy.

The location of State of Emergency will be released on Friday, May 21 at 10am.
Call the info desk on 0400 655 014 or check out the website: http://stateofemergency.nomasters.org at around 10 am and make your way down to the venue as soon as possible after that.

In the event of the location not going ahead as planned a number of back-up options have been arranged - if all else fails head to Irene Warehouse (5 Pitt St, Brunswick. Catch tram 1 or 22 and get off at Stop 22). Irene Warehouse will be operating as a forum venue, childcare space and a chill out space and you’ll be able to find out more information there. Where events are not scheduled to happen at the State Of Emergency squat the location will be clearly marked on the program.

----2pm----

WELCOME TO COUNTRY
In addition to the "Welcome to Country," Annette Xiberus will discuss what it really stands for and means for indigenous people. How has the Welcome to Country changed over time, as it has become a more common practice or accepted protocol? How does this relate to the broader changes in the movement for land rights and other developments in the struggle for Aboriginal peoples' right to self-determination?
>> Annette Xiberus of the Wurundjeri People

----3.30pm - 5.30pm----

PANEL: WHAT ARE THE STATES OF EMERGENCY?
Alert but not alarmed. Beyond the lights and sirens of the latest round of crises - 9-11, Iraq, the Pacific Solution, etc. - is the permanent state of emergency where the poor, the different, the disenfranchised have long held squatters' rights. For capital, work, war, and the bloody wreckage of history are simply business as usual. But the occupation of everyday life faces its own guerrilla resistance. What are the prospects for a State of Emergency of our own?
>> Tony Birch speaking on Redfern
>> Camille Barbagallo on labour and neo-liberalism
>> Jude McCulloch on Terror Laws
>> Tahir Cambis (recently returned from Baghdad) on the situation in Iraq

----5pm----

SPECIAL MEETING: USERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE: SHOOT BACK IN THE WAR ON DRUG-USERS
Venue: Irene Community Warehouse, 5 Pitt St, Brunswick
A mass meeting of drug-users organised by drug-users, to discuss the realities of existence under the ‘war on drug-users’: prisons as cages in which governments dump impoverished drug-users; police routinely using the reality or fear of withdrawal in a cell to coerce confessions; drugs as the excuse for sexual assault-by-strip-searching, on the basis of appearance, age, ethnicity or previous encounters; by making drugs illegal and expensive, the state deliberately enforcing addiction to drugs such as methadone which are more addictive than heroin and physically destructive; the profitable exploitation of drug-users in sex work and the ‘second hand goods’ industry; and the proposals to legalise virtually all discrimination against drug-users. We need to begin to organise ourselves against the ever-increasing poverty, violence and exploitation imposed upon us, to seize some control over the conditions of our lives.

----6pm----

THE S.O.E ONE MINUTE OF INFAMY
One representative (others can come along) of each group, project or proposal will be given ' one (and we mean one minute!) minute in which to describe activities, recent history & current directions, needs, skills to offer, resources or lack of. To brief others and spark later discussion in the hope of encouraging mutual aid, building on strengths and creating new groupings and projects. There will be space and time to talk, organise and network over dinner after the gathering and before the first night’s film screening…

----7pm - 8pm----

Dinner

----8pm----

FILM SCREENINGS: ‘UNCLE KEVIN VS THE QUEEN’
A satirical 26min documentary following the controversial strategies of Arabunna Elder Kevin Buzzacott before he became Minister for Invasion Affairs! Who is the man who shook the foundations of this former colony? We follow Kevin Buzzacott’s unrelenting struggle against Genocide; for recognition of his people as the traditional owners of this country; and for the protection of his land at Lake Eyre. For Kevin Buzzacott, the new Minister for Invasion Affairs, it’s time to clean up the country. In a quirky and satirical way, ‘Uncle Kevin vs the Queen’ catapults us into an alternate Australian reconciliation debate and offers an unique insight into the past to build our future together.

FILM SCREENINGS: : EXCERPTS FROM ‘ANTHEM’ - A NEW FILM BY HELEN NEWMAN AND TAHIR CAMBIS
Film-makers Tahir Cambis (Exile in Sarajevo) and Helen Newman's brand-new documentary is a free-wheeling expansive study of democracy, western civilisation and the relationship between America and Australia. The film also analyses the intersecting of Australia's refugee policy and the war on terror. It poses a plethora of questions: 'What does it mean to be an Australian? Where is our global respect for humanity and human rights?' It looks at the relationship between the media and money, nationalism and government, and how fear was used to change election outcomes. Anthem spreads the parameters of its context around the globe--Afghanistan, America, Australia and finally Iraq. Anthem doesn't just shake the fence, it completely destroys it.

Saturday May 22nd 2004

----9am - 11am----

WORKSHOP: ON YER BIKE #1: MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP (ADAM)
Your mobility is important you know? And your bike needs a repair or just a tune so you can stop blowing money on PT or a car. So come and have some bike therapy, learn how to fix it, share a story, whatever. Bring yr bike and some tools if you can.

----10.30am - 12.30pm----

SEMINAR: THE ECLIPSE OF SOCIAL DEMOCRACY?
As the ALP tightens the link between neo-liberalism and social democracy, this seminar will discuss Latham’s Third Way policies and the difficulties for worker organising posed by enterprise bargaining. A third theme will be discussion of what new social and economic forms need to be developed to sustain us against these developments.
Speakers include:
>> Rob Watts on the coming dark era of Latham
>> Bruce Lindsay on enterprise bargaining

SEMINAR: WHAT HAPPENED TO RADICAL QUEER ACTIVISM?
In 2000 and 2001, another wave of radical queer activism appeared in Australia in the form of queer anti-capitalist groups such as Queers United to Eradicate Economic Rationalism (Q.U.E.E.R.). Since then, as queer images proliferate on our TV screens and homophobia is becoming SO last century (at least in some areas), a radical queer critique seems to have been silenced and little has sprung up in its place. Some questions arise - is there a future for queer activism? How should we organise as queer radicals? And what should we be organising around? This seminar will attempt to discuss some of these questions.
Speakers include:
>> Graham Willett on After equality – where to for queer activism?
>> Sally Goldner on Transgender Activism
>> Kate Davison on the State and Sexuality

WORKSHOP: CALLING ALL IT WORKERS!
A discussion space around issues facing workers organising in the IT industry

WORKSHOP: PEAK OIL PRIMER (ADAM/LIAM)
George Monbiot calls it our generation's taboo. Bush energy advisor Matt Simmons calls it the most serious problem the world faces. Author James Howard Kunstler sees it as part of a global clusterfuck which will destroy suburbia and probably the entire industrial system. Scientists and oil geologists refer to it as "Peak Oil," and amongst them a growing consensus suggest that before the end of this decade, the world's global oil production will enter a period of terminal decline. Adam and Liam will present a briefing on the facts and the profound implications of this event, including some challenges for autonomous organising.

WORKSHOP: GECO ACTIVISM - ACTION & REACTION IN THE FOREST (FIONA)
The bust of Australia's longest running forest blockade at Goolengook saw an unprecedented government crackdown on forest activists. This has implications for activists everywhere as tactics used become more and more repressive. As activists, are we confined to being reactive rather than proactive? How can we continue to be effective?

WORKSHOP: DIRECT ACTION IN PALESTINE (RODNEY)
The International Solidarity Movement (www.palsolidarity.org) assists internationals to work with Palestinians in non-violent direct actions against the Israeli occupation. ISM is organising a major 2004 Freedom Summer Campaign focusing on direct actions against the Apartheid Wall, and we need as many people as possible. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in ISM's work
either politically or personally, or in the practicalities of direct action in situations such as these.

----12.30pm - 1.30pm----

Lunch

----1pm----

FILM SCREENING: ‘THE UNORGANISABLES’

----1.30pm - 3.00pm----

SEMINAR: WORK/SLAVERY IN A NEO-LIBERAL WORLD
This seminar will discuss where workers find themselves after a decade of economic and political restructuring. We will look at the effect of casualisation and intensification of work levels and at the coercive methods needed to prepare workers for the labour market.
Speakers include:
>> Lyn Beaton on precarious work
>> Leigh Millward on Work for the Dole
>> Vaughan Sanderson on the modern workplace
>> Marcus Banks on welfare and neo-liberalism

SEMINAR: PRISON/CAMP
SPECIAL VENUE: Irene Warehouse, 5 Pitt Street, Brunswick
Mission, Reserve, Internment Camp, Prison: Since white invasion, the Australian nation has been constituted not simply through the exclusion of migrants who are denied the ability to cross the national border, but by the establishment of zones of exclusion within the geographical space of the ‘nation.’ These denationalised spaces, with their often ambiguous relationships to the legal system, the idealised notion of ‘Australia,’ and ideas of ‘human rights,’ continue to punctuate and define what we know today as the Australian nation. This seminar will address the relationship between these various spaces of exclusion, the role they have played in the racial construction of ‘Australia’ and the relationship of such spaces to state power and capitalist exploitation.
Speakers include:
>> A refugee speaker
>> A speaker on prisons and detention centres

WORKSHOP: THE ACTIVIST LEGAL RIGHTS GUIDE (ANTHONY)
A workshop about activists confronting the police and legal system, developing legal support structures, legal observer teams, how to access and distribute legal information and support. An overview of Fitzroy Legal Service’s new Activist Legal Rights website to be published later in 2004.

WORKSHOP: SCREEN PRINT YOUR SHIRT.. (ROZE E)
using screen printing to print statements on your clothing.....

WORKSHOP: SECRETS AND LIES - THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUSTRALIA'S FIRST NATIONAL NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP AND NEW NATIONAL NUCLEAR REACTOR (HILLEL, ALEX AND LORETTA)
The construction and operating licenses for the reactor require a waste disposal solution. A "solution" for nuclear waste does not exist. Since then, an Environmental Impact Statement has been completed - no great accomplishment since the EIS was written, reviewed and rubber-stamped by that same government. The real reason, the stated "National Interest", lies with the knowledge that having a reactor gives this country our seat on the International Atomic Energy Commission. It gives us the infrastructure and skills for our own nuclear power stations. It also gives us the knowledge to make our own nuclear weapons.

WORKSHOP: BETRAYING RACE: WHITENESS AND REVOLUTION (TANYA/DAVE)
Whole sections of the multitude remained chained to Capital through Whiteness. Whilst being granted certain privileges, the costs- submission to the state, the commodity, work etc- are horrendous. The purpose of this workshop is to raise a revolutionary critique of whiteness that engages with multiple threads of liberation and challenges the Leftist/Social Democratic nature of
traditional anti-racism and multiculturalism.

WORKSHOP : HOLDING A RECLAIM THE STREETS, MELBOURNE STYLE

WORKSHOP: RECLAIMING GLOBALISATION

We will specifically discuss examples in the region, including breaches of human rights and environmental laws by Newcrest mining company in North Maluku Indonesia.

PANEL: SOVEREIGNTY / BORDERS / CAMPS
In Australia today the 'defence of sovereignty', is used as permanent and self-evident justification for everything form desert internment camps to the deaths of hundreds of asylum seekers on the SIEV X. This panel begins from the assumption that national sovereignty is neither natural nor self evident, but contested, in both form and content. As the Australian state seeks to extend its military and economic dominance across the Pacific region, this panel will ask: is there more to sovereignty than the brutal re-assertion of the state's right to take life? Where do Indigenous struggles for land rights fit within (or against) this dominant picture of sovereignty? Is a humane sovereignty possible, or must we struggle against all sovereignty in order to genuinely contest its most brutal manifestations.
Speakers include:
>> Ahmad Raza on detention
>> Jess Whyte on the myth of a humane national sovereignty
>> Dave Eden on Sovereignty and the Pacific

----5.30pm - 7.30pm----

----10.30am - 12.30pm----

SEMINAR: GENDER WARS / WALLS
While our rulers begin to care about women's rights when they provide an excuse to bomb a country or jail Muslim men, the Blackshirts are left unhindered to threaten single mothers and lesbians, and football players are left free to rape. Bodies remain sites of contention, policing and violence, at the hands of both individuals and the state, and the male/female binary is reinforced through 'crises of masculinity' and the re-imposition of rigid gender roles. This seminar will investigate how we can resist oppression without resorting to exclusionary identity politics.
Speakers include:
>> Meryan Tozer on the campaign against the Blackshirts
>> Tanya Serisier on race, gender and rape
>> Lee Caldwell on gender multiplicities

SEMINAR: AUSTRALIA, IMPERALISM AND THE PACIFIC REGION
The Pacific is home to resistance by indigenous people, unauthorised migrants and other oppressed group fighting against the ecological and social destruction of capital, states, multinationals, the World Bank, foreign armies and religious fundamentalisms. Capital and the state have redrawn the borders of the Australian nation (excising islands) while occupying and plundering resources and often aiding or committing oppression and genocide in PNG, Bougainville, West Papua, East Timor, Solomons. This panel seeks to ask, "How does this reflect capital's ‘State of Emergency’ and the emergence of real states of emergency in opposition?"
Speakers include:
>> Dan Nicholson on Timor Sea Justice Campaign
>> Jason McLeod on West Papua
>> Susan Rankin

WORKSHOP: PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND PLAY (ELLEN)
What are the limitations placed on our sexual, political and friend-ish relationships by our world, and its economic and social structures? How can we transcend these limitations and relate in a more radical way?

WORKSHOP: CALL CENTRES: THE NEW HIGH TECH SWEATSHOPS (CAMILLE)

WORKSHOP: A POST-MORTEM FOR THE ANTI-CAPITALIST MOVEMENT? (ANDREW)
9/11 signalled a dramatic decline in Australia for the anti-capitalist direct action movement built around S11. Neo-liberalism has changed, but rolls on. At a time when direct action and radical initiatives seem more necessary than ever why has the movement become so dormant and fragmented? Don’t mention the war! The invasion of Iraq went largely unchallenged by any sustained level of radical action; older activists failed to make links with radicalised school kids; the US/Australia "free trade" agreement and occupation of Iraq hardly raise a spray can. The format will be an open facilitated discussion sparked by short interventions. Bring your ideas and ears.

WORKSHOP: NON-VIOLENT COMMUNITY SAFETY (ANTHONY)
Activist communities, actions and events face a range of safety issues. A workshop by Pt'chang covering non-violent, and co-operative approaches to creating safety ourselves, responding to sexual assault, bullying and aggressive behaviour within and amongst our movements.
Time: 3-hours

WORKSHOP: SEARCHING FOR THE SAND: THE PRACTICE OF PRACTICES (BONNIE)
What is to change through practice? How do we come to find or construct our desires and the desires of those around us so that practice of desire leads to political and social change that is lasting.

WORKSHOP: ZINE AND PLACARD WORKSHOP: REFLECTIONS ON AUSTRALIA, THE ALIEN NATION (CLARE AND CHARLOTTE)
This will be a creative workshop with plenty of potential for group-work, discussion, and future one-off or rolling actions according to participant’s wishes. We will display inspiring images from the Indigenous struggle for liberation as well as info on the current situation, especially photos and cartoons. We will provide images, scissors and other materials for your creative response. You can take home what you create on the day; or use it at a future action. Or make a page for a collaborative zine and we will mail you a copy of the whole thing later.

SEMINAR: FUCK THE DEGREE FACTORY - CLASS AND THE CLASSROOM
This seminar will discuss student debt and the imposition of work in the context of the Nelson reforms to higher education. How do we resist implementation while avoiding lame slogans? Is there space for fun in the factory? Can and should the student movement survive? The questions abound, the answers elude.
Speakers include:
>> Rjurik Davidson
>> Liz Thompson

SEMINAR: BIOMETRICS AND BORDERS: NEW TECHNOLOGIES OF THE HUMAN
Sci Fi is creeping up on us these days. When Tom Cruise’s Minority Report character, Chief John Anderton walks into a department store to be greeted by talking advertisements which personally identified him on the basis of his iris scans, we are faced less with a bizarre projection of a possible future, than an extension of an already existing technology that is changing the relationship between the human body, capital and state power. From biometric databases to internment camps typified by the ‘dehumanisation’ of those detained, the nature of the human is being redefined and life itself is increasingly entering into the calculations of power. This seminar will investigate the notion of human life, its manipulation by biopolitical technologies, and the role of biometrics in reshaping borders, whether national borders, geopolitical ones, or the borders of the human itself.
>> Boo Chapel on terrorism, biotechnology and the human
>> John Cleary on the history of biometrics
>> Shane McGrath on border control and biometrics
>> Marcus Banks on Centrelink, data surveillance and identity indicators

WORKSHOP: PLANT PROPAGATION AND GARDENING (ELEVEN)
There are as many reasons to produce your own food as there are reasons to avoid the horrors of Big Business biotechnology: the hyper production of waste in the food and horticulture industries: the ill-health associated with working with/consuming chemical residue on food: the cost of organic produce. There are as many reasons to create green areas as there are reasons to maintain physical, mental and emotional health: create fabulous design scapes: connect with your community: reuse household waste. The question is HOW? How can we garden for free? Save seeds for the next season? Treat pests and diseases safely and effectively.

WORKSHOP: OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AUTHORITY AND THE LAW (ELLEN)
Between moments of transgression, individual and collective, most of us settle into passivity and obeying the law, in the workplace and elsewhere. Why is this? Is it possible to live an actively disobedient life?

WORKSHOP: READING GROUP ON IRAQ (BEN)
The current conflict in Iraq raises important questions of how we understand the contemporary capitalist system, the nature of states, and the relation of war to what we used to call class struggle, to name only a few of the more obvious. Not that long ago the French group Theorie Communiste produced a text called 'A Fair Amount of Killing' as a supplement to their regular publication. The first part of a longer discussion of issues around the war in Iraq, it has been translated into English on their web-site. Because it is one of the more interesting texts I have read about the significance of the war, and because I find TC texts in general quite difficult, I think that a reading group on this text would be helpful. This text appears at: http://www.theoriecommuniste.org/TractAnglais.html.

WORKSHOP: STUDENTS FOR LAND JUSTICE AND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS (SHARNE)
Melbourne University students want to get the former group 'students for land justice and reconciliation' (slejer) running again. We want to hold a workshop to get educated on indigenous struggles, address where the indigenous campaign stands today, and strategies for action. Indigenous activist Gary Foley will be attending and offering guidance, along with other invited activists.

----3.30pm - 5.30pm----

PANEL: A STATE OF PERMANENT WAR
This panel explores current and emerging forms of systematic violence - different aspects of the general violence essential to the planetary system of exploitation and control. Areas discussed include: the directly military assault upon an insubordinate Iraqi population over the last fifteen years. The ever-developing efforts at social control and exclusion/incorporation undertaken in the name of a 'war on drugs'. The 'welfare state' as imposition of 'labour market participation' on the worst terms. Money and work as the limit of life and survival. Frozen peace, total war.
Speakers Include:
>> Tanya Serisier on race, rape, policing and class
>> Benjamin Rosenzweig on the War on Drug-Users

----5.30pm - 7.30pm----

Dinner

FILM SCREENING: SURPLUS – A FILM BY ERIK GANDINI
SURPLUS is an intense visual odyssey filmed for over three years in eight different countries. From the explosive riot days in Genoa 2001 to $7000 sex dolls in the US, SURPLUS explores the destructive nature of consumer culture. Stunning editing and breathtaking cinematography turns the notion that 20% of the world is gobbling up 80% of its resources from pure statistics into an overwhelming emotional experience.

PANEL: WHAT ARE THE STATES OF EMERGENCY? # 2
After four days of discussion, dancing and the sharing of food and ideas, we will come together again to leave behind the state of emergency imposed on us by states and capital, and discuss ways to create a real state of emergency through our creative resistance and shared hope and inspiration. With no pre-arranged speakers, this session aims to circulate sparks of resistance created over the previous few days, and give us space to share our visions and tactics for liberation.
