This is quintessential Quantock. It's a rambling, shambling, hilarious look at . . . well, everything that's wrong with your world. If you find commercial current affairs too superficial and the ABC too cerebral then Quantock's blend of fact and funny is just what you need. Quantock works backwards from the blood and bombs of day-to-day life in Bush's Iraq, unravelling the threads of deceit and conceit, conspiracy and complicity, lies and lunacy that pass for politics today. WARNING: Baghdad Nights may contain some Andrew Bolt! 8pm - The New Council Chambers Tuesday - Saturday, Oct 7th until Nov 8th $15 ONLY PREVIEWS - Tues Oct 7th, Weds Oct 8th Thurs Oct 9th Season Tickets Tues to Thurs $25 Full/ $15 Conc, Fri Sat $30 Full/ $20 Conc + bf Ticketek Bookings Ph: 132 849 or visit www.ticketek.com.au REFUGITIVE presented by New Mercury Theatre A Melbourne Fringe Festival event Iranian refugee Shahin Shafaei's acclaimed one man show Refugitive, about the 22 months he spent incarcerated in the Curtin Detention Centre, has been touring nationally and now comes to Melbourne for the Fringe Festival. An acclaimed actor and playwright in Iran, 29 year old Shahin was forced to flee his country after a play he wrote was deemed anti-government. Shahin's journey took him to Australia via Malaysia and Indonesia where the boat he was travelling on was intercepted at Ashmore Reef. He was taken to the infamous Curtin Detention Centre near Port Hedland (WA) where a new struggle for survival began. 7pm - The Old Council Chambers Monday - Sunday, Sept 25th until Oct 12th Tickets $15 Full/ $12 Conc/ $8 Children Fringe Bookings Ph: 8412 8777 or visit www.melbournefringe.com.au - TRAGIC AT THEIR AGE presented by Smart Arts Productions A Melbourne Fringe Festival event - From chicks to chooks, and all the disasters in between! Tragic at their Age presents a show for the mature fringe dweller. A fun night of women behaving badly, struggling to hold back the ravages of time and gravity, but succeeding only in growing old disgracefully and resisting all attempts to embrace their inner chook. Tragic at their Age will leave the audience with an inner glow, knowing that their own lives are nowhere near as tragic as those of our three heroines. Tragic at their Age is a 'best of' the hugely popular shows by Maureen Sherlock, 'Molls' 'Housewives Playtime', which enjoyed two sell-out seasons each in Adelaide. 8:30pm - The Old Council Chambers Tuesday - Saturday, Sept 25th until Oct 11th Tickets $15 Full/ $10 Conc Fringe Bookings Ph: 8412 8777 or visit www.melbournefringe.com.au - UNDOMESTICATED presented by Baggage Productions A Melbourne Fringe Festival event - Using a minimum of props and costumes, these shows rely instead on the sharpness of the writing and skill of the performers to bring to life the array of characters and situations in the spotlight. This minimalism facilitates a cracking pace, constantly surprising and delighting audiences, and is a trademark of Baggage Productions. Undomesticated is no exception.

LL:DDV: Saving Point Nepean - Ring the Bell Rally 2pm Sun 5/10
-Original Message- From: Alison Rock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 2 October 2003 1:05 PM Subject: Saving Point Nepean E-letter No 5 One National Park for all of Point Nepean Ring the Bell Rally 25-Metre Range Point Nepean 5 October 2003 2.00pm On the eve of the closing of tenders for the lease of 90 hectares of Point Nepean, the Victorian National Parks Association, the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and many other groups and individuals will be gathering at Point Nepean. We will be ringing bells to celebrate the special natural and cultural heritage values of Point Nepean: 19th and 20th century heritage buildings of the Quarantine Station and breathtaking coast and seascapes. But we will also be ringing bells to send out a distress signal, a warning of the serious threat to Point Nepean from the proposal to lease to a developer/operator, the 90 hectares containing the Quarantine Station and threatened coastal moonah woodland. Disintegrated management threatens the integrity, fabric and spatial association of the Quarantine Station buildings, and the present proposal exempts developers from local and state planning and environment controls, and avoids the protection afforded by the new national heritage legislation that comes into force in 2004. There will be a big bell for all of us to ring, but please bring along your own as well! On a day when we are sounding the red alert for Point Nepean, please wear something red: a scarf, a jumper, a jacket, a hat, a skirt, some slacks? On Sunday 5 October please visit Point Nepean, absorb its wonder and majesty, hear informed speakers, and find out what is proposed and how your voice can be added to so many others. Please bring your friends and family, bring a picnic, bring a bell -- AND WEAR RED! How to get to the Ring the Bell Rally To get to the 25-metre Range (Melways Map 156 B2) follow the signs after the Visitor Centre (Melways Map 156 C2) at the Mornington Peninsula National Park entrance. The 25-metre range is approximately two kilometres from the Visitor Centre, with Gunners Cottage car park another kilometre on. Car parking is also available at the Visitor Centre. Please Note: Park Open Day The rally happens to coincide with a Parks Victoria Open Day for the Point Nepean section of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. This means that entrance to the park will be free, there will also be no charge for the trolley transporter to the tip of Point Nepean, and there will be ranger-led interpretive walks, rockpool rambles, face-painting, a sausage sizzle and roving entertainers between 10 and 2.00pm. So why not make a day of it, visit one of Victoria's very special places and at the same time help the campaign for its protection. NB: The rally and the Open Day do not include entry on to the Commonwealth land at the Quarantine Station. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Sub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When asked to take an oath to the Queen, Fox, much to the distress of the Speaker of the House, began singing his favourite anti-Monarchist song! The SCOTTISH SOCIALIST PARTY has succesfully united 95% of the socialist left in that country and in May this year won 6 seats in the Scottish Parliament (receiving up to 28% of the vote in some areas). Inside Parliament and on the streets the SSP has championed campaigns against the war, exploitation injustice. Fox was one of the Scottish Socialist Party activists to be elected to Parliament. Formerly the regional organiser of the SSP in the Lothians he co-organises the Edinburgh Mayday Festival and founded the Edinburgh People's Festival in 2002. Fox was a Labour Party Young Socialist, and went on to become a founder member of the SSP. Fox will give discuss successes, lessons and challenges in the the fight for socialism in Scotland and how his party is winning popular support for socialist solutions. - - - - - - more about HUMPHREY McQUEEN In the last thirty years Humphrey McQueen has become one of Australia's foremost radical commentators historians.
