Recent leaks have revealed membership details of neo-fascist groups on both sides of the world - the British National Party (BNP) and the New Zealand National Front (NZNF).
In the UK, a huge list of details of BNP members has been made available. The list contains names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of over 10,000 people who are or were BNP members and donors. The list also includes other information about many of them.
Several websites have sprung up that make healthy use of this information. One, BNP Near Me, merges the information with Google Maps to show the strength (or weakness) of the BNP across the UK. The BNP member proximity search allows British users to enter their post code and then returns all BNP members in their area, with links to find their house on Google Maps.
Some high profile people are listed, including British Motorcross/Supercross star, William 'Billy' MacKenzie.
The list also includes a number of members (and former members) now living overseas, including some serving as mercenaries in Iraq, 16 people in Australia and four members in Aotearoa / New Zealand - in Auckland Central, Glenfield and Hunua in greater Auckland, and Whitby in Wellington.
Meanwhile, the New Zealand National Front had the email addresses for its 53 members/supporters leaked here on Aotearoa Indymedia.

Fascist leaks spread member's details in UK and Aotearoa

On Nov 13th the NZ Herald revealed that State Owned Enterprise Solid Energy, the coal mining company at the forefront of environmentalist's climate change campaigns, has decided to invite all of it's shareholders to a public annual meeting - all 4.3 million of us.
It is unheard of for a New Zealand SOE to make their meetings public and some would suggest it is an attempt to gain the moral high ground after heavy criticism from environmental groups, a high rate of work-related accidents recently, and bad publicity last year from hiring private investigators to spy on activists. [More]
The AGM will held on Monday 24 November at 11:15am at the Langham Hotel in Central Auckland. Solid Energy asks those wanting to attend to RSVP for catering purposes. [AGM Details]

This coming week Afridal Darmi, the director of the important human rights group LBH Aceh, will be speaking in Auckland and Wellington.

Between 1976 and 2005 the Indonesian Military raged a vicious counter-insurgency campaign against rebels fighting for independence, around 10,000 civilians were killed.
LBH Aceh is one of the leading human rights organisations in the province of Aceh and had a key play role to provide legal assistance to the community during the conflict when the central government deemed Aceh to be a military operation area in 1990s and imposed martial law in 2003. Mr Darmi's organisation also provided support to Acehenese victims of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.

"The struggle of people against power is the same struggle of remembering against forgetting."
The Labour History Project is a nationwide group of people keen to promote Aotearoa's vibrant and often militant working class roots. They do things like publish books, put on events and seminars (such as the recent Blackball '08 celebration), workshops, and other events.
Currently, the Trade Union History Project is going through some structural changes, including a name change (the 'Labour History Project') ? to take into account regional or thematic branches, womens movements, and the workers and communities not represented by Trade Unions.
This re-structure has opened the way towards forming a Christchurch based group.
A Christchurch based group could do a number of things ? from promoting our past and present radical histories (specifically Christchurch, such as the 1932 Tramways? Strike ? or nationwide events), raise class awareness, connect with workers and communities, put on local events such as book releases, film nights, stalls etc ? and basically celebrate everyday, working people.

The eight finalists for the 2008 Roger Award for the Worst Transnational Corporation Operating in Aotearoa/New Zealand are (in alphabetical order): ANZ, BAT (British American Tobacco NZ), Contact Energy, GlaxoSmithKline, Infratil, McDonalds, Rio Tinto Aluminium NZ (nominated under its former, better known, name of Comalco) and Telecom.
There is one, self-explanatory, finalist for the Accomplice Award ? Business New Zealand.
We?ve just had an election but all that establishes is which party gets to administer the economy for the next three years. These guys are the ones who actually own it ? and no New Zealanders get a vote for them. So the Roger Awards are a real election, whereby Kiwis get to say which of our owners has had the most negative impact on our country this year.
