Australian based and one of the harder working members of the international community.

The home of the Network for Direct Democracy in Europe, part of the continuing Direct Democracy Forum begun in Prague, 1998.

Our technology promotes intelligent, diverse and deliberative discussions, both here and among a network of sites around the Internet. Based in America.

The home of the Participatory Direct Democracy Association, based in Canada. Well worth a visit

Australian roots n Blues Musician, John Butler's Site with active forums.

Resist Forum

Australian based discussion and activism site.

Site for Michael Franti and Spearhead, Spearits of the world forum, Personal musical favorite and hero.

Cultural jammers and entrepeneurs!

Cultural jammers, magazine publishers, NO TV day, Don't Buy a thing day... loads of lovely stuff that at times disappears up it's designer derriere.

As stated, a site that has / had links for budding activists

Utopia & Utopian Philosophy

A Utopian world competition? They offer a good $US prize for your utopian vision

A site devoted to the teachings of Libya's Mummar Quaddafi, his Green Book and other treatise on society and politics. He might be the US's oldest living nemisis, obsessed with horses and somewhat non PC but at least he tried to fashion something beyond the existing paradigm

The Good Citizen: An educational series developed and produced by ABC Radio in Australia, had a half hearted stab at realising the potential for DD but could quite mount the kerb and break free from their inate scepticism. A good resource for teachers seeking a basic politics resource.

The Public Record: ABC Australia's political connectivity point.

Late Night Live with Philip Adams: If you'd like to hear some sometimes interesting talk hosted by Australia's cuddly king of the Gladioli go here or find a radio and tune in. Tends to spend too much time seeking the opinion of overseas social theorists which can either be provocative and not good for sleep or is as boring as bat shit, which is extremely good for sleep. I swear by it on a good / bad night. lollal

This is the voice of the Australian people (who listen to Radio National, part of the great Australian treasure that is our ABC.) hosted by the well respected and thoroughly nice Sandy McCucheon. Talk back radio as it should be, can be and is. This is so DD!!

Independent media reportage and activism from around the world

New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network, US based radio show exploring the outer reaches of society, spirituality and personality // life.
