Campaign for the right to sell Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly
By Keara Courtney
SYDNEY — After weeks of harassment of Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly sellers by security guards in Town Hall tunnel, three sellers at the regular Friday Resistance stall at the corner of George and Park Streets were threatened with arrest on November 14. One seller was fined for a "commercial transactions infringement". She will appeal the decision.
The City of Sydney official who issued the notice said, "It's my street, not yours". He was backed up by two plain-clothes NSW police officers who threatened to impound the stall.
Simultaneously, another GLW seller was being forced by the police to leave State Rail property at Eddy Avenue.
Readers who support our right to distribute Â鶹´«Ã½ in public spaces should write saying so to the lord mayor, Frank Sartor, to State Rail and to the Queen Victoria Building manager. If you are able to do more to help the campaign, please contact Resistance on 9690 1977.
