Green Left Weekly
Green Left Weekly is an Australian socialist newspaper, written by progressive activists to "present the views excluded by the big business media". It was initiated in 1990 as a proposal for a broad left publication from the Democratic Socialist Perspective (DSP) which ceased publication of its own party newspaper in order to support the project. Green Left Weekly's 20th anniversary issue was published in February 2011, and in March 2014, the 1,000th edition of Green Left Weekly was published.
Overview
It is an independent Australian source of local, national and international news, and provides left-wing analysis and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist and socialist movements. In an editorial in the first issue, Green Left Weekly stated:
Subjects of particular importance to Green Left Weekly include workers rights, refugees, women's rights, global warming, environmental destruction, Australian Aboriginal land rights, and foreign policy, especially Australia's military intervention in the Asia-Pacific region, the U.S. led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and other forms of U.S. political intervention overseas (such as in Latin America).
