We decided that we did not have the energy required to continue the project and that therefore the collective had come to an end. We are however keen to help others take up the challenge of producing an activist based, participatory news site, whether that be a Melbourne Indymedia, an Australia Indymedia or something all together new. We feel such a space is very much needed. Several Melbourne Indymedia members expressed interest in mentoring such a project. If this interests you please contact us...

If you wish to get involved, please contact us, or subscribe to our mailing list....
