Labor’s Climate Crime
It’s no surprise to anyone that the Liberal Party has time and time again bailed out on the question of the environment, but what alternative does the Labor Party offer? The short answer is none.

Voting won’t save us. We have to save ourselves.
An Anarchist Perspective on the Federal Election Let me start out by being totally unambiguous on our position: Anarchists are not opposed to voting or democracy. In fact, we freaking love it. We believe that truly democratic control of all aspects of our lives must be essential if humanity is to save itself from certain […]

Consequences of Warfare
I remember learning about “collateral murder”: the unfortunate people killed by drones for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I imagine what it would be like if I were taken out in a drive-by shooting. Someone would care, but I would be dead. But the war machine doesn’t care. It doesn’t have […]

South Korean Election ’22: Aftermath
Yoon’s victory indicates that the conservative’s administration is back in power in 5 years after the imprisonment of the previous conservative President Park Geun Hye.

South Korean Presidential Election of 2022. Wednesday 9th of March
Currently, across the globe, South Korea has split into factions for the upcoming 20th Presidential Election. Since the Liberation of the Korean Peninsula (from the Japanese Empire 15/08/1945) and its catastrophic civil war caused by the clash of two world superpowers – marking the start of the Cold War, most of the South Korean history has been tainted by series of Military Dictatorships. Only from the 1990’s “democratic” elections were allowed (under strict military supervision), however through corruption and state-run media, only the dictatorship’s party were elected.

Student Y: Thoughts on Russia-Ukraine Conflict and its Consequences
I feel the pain of the Ukrainian people. They found themselves in the middle of a new conflict right after they had just recovered from a civil war raging there half a decade before.

Semper Floreat would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands which comprise so-called Australia.
Sovereignty was never ceded, and we are - each of us - responsible for the ongoing dispossession, violence, and segregation in Meanjinn (Brisbane), and everywhere else, as concerns the racism which is levelled against indigenous peoples.
We commit to platforming indigenous voices, stopping racism, and working towards meaningful reconciliation and tangible reparations.
