On December 17, activists gathered in Perth鈥檚 city centre for a speakout as part of an international day of action for accused Wikileaks' whistleblower . The action defied attempts by the Perth City Council to close down stalls and take down banners for the action.
In May 2010, 24 year old Bradley Manning was arrested over suspicion of leaking secret US military and government documents to Wikileaks.

Members of various activist groups joined a roadside anti-privatisation protest in Booragoon, Western Australia on June 3.
The groups responded to the call by the 鈥淚n Public Hands鈥 campaign group to campaign for public ownership of the soon-to-be-built Fiona Stanley Hospital.
Protesters held placards reading 鈥淒on鈥檛 privatise our hospitals鈥 and 鈥淗onk if you support anti-privatisation鈥, which received plenty of responses from passers-by.
