How tight is the #RightToProtest?
From 418 arrests in 1977 to fresh clashes in Sydney: Debate over #Australia’s right to protest continues
"What many may not realise is that the right to protest in Australia is not protected by one simple law. It’s implied in the constitution under freedom of political communication and exists under international human rights law, which Australia has agreed to uphold. Only #Queensland, #Victoria and the #ACT explicitly protect the right to peaceful assembly, freedom of association and freedom of expression. And laws protecting the right to peaceful protest in Australia can be limited."
By Rhiannon Stevens
Sat 14 Feb, 2026" 'The day of the political street march is over,' Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared. 'Don’t bother to apply for a permit. You won’t get one. That’s government policy now.'
"A few weeks later, thousands of people defied then-Queensland premier Bjelke-Petersen’s proclamation and gathered in Brisbane for an #AntiUranium march.
"Ian Curr remembers an intense, unrelenting heat on that day nearly 50 years ago. It was 'boiling hot', the long-time #AntiNuclear activist says. So hot that when protesters sat on the road, arms linked in passive defiance, it was 'not very pleasant' because the tarmac was scorching. Other memories emerge from the haze: lines of police, three and four deep, surrounding protesters; a woman with tears streaming down her face who had just heard her partner was arrested.
"Fear swirled up spines and into the air. These were the years after the #Springbok tour #AntiApartheid protests had been violently suppressed.
"That afternoon in October 1977, 418 people were arrested and Queensland’s 'RightToMarch' movement quickly entered a new era. #CivilLiberties demonstrations continued until the ban — originally enacted to curb a growing anti-nuclear movement — was lifted two years later.
"Ross Gwyther was exhilarated seeing some 5,000 anti-nuclear marchers turn out that day. But the sensation was tempered by an 'intense fear because there’d already been many cases of #PoliceBrutality'.
"These were extraordinary times, as the Fitzgerald Inquiry would later attest. For Gwyther and many of the #ratbags, #activists and #CivilLibertarians of Queensland it was a defining moment. That era in Brisbane radicalised a lot of people, Gwyther says, who embarked on a lifetime of 'political activism, both through parliamentary politics or by grassroots politics'.
"These moments mark you, Curr says, turning to the events in Sydney this week. 'The people who saw that violence in Sydney, in 40 or 50 years, they will not forget it. In the same way I do not forget police brandishing batons and punching and throwing people into paddy wagons. It’s something you do not forget.'
"In the aftermath of last Monday’s protest against Israeli President #IsaacHerzog’s visit in #Sydney, shaky, chaotic videos began to emerge online. A man lies on tram tracks, restrained by officers who punch him 18 times. #Protesters are pushed, they struggle to their feet, crowds stumble around them. Men bowed in prayer are wrenched from their worship by police. A grandmother is in hospital with a spinal injury. She says she feared being suffocated in a stampede as she lay on the ground in agony. She alleges she was pushed over by police."

“Keep Hope Alive”: Remembering Rev. #JesseJackson, Civil Rights Icon Who Twice Ran for President
#DemocracyNow, February 17, 2026
"#CivilRights icon #ReverendJesseJackson died Tuesday at the age of 84. Jackson is known for working closely with Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr. and the #SouthernChristianLeadershipConference during the civil rights movement, and he later ran two groundbreaking presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, when he pushed to cut the Pentagon budget while increasing domestic spending on #education, #housing and #healthcare. Jackson was also involved in international campaigns from the #AntiApartheid struggle in #SouthAfrica to supporting #Palestinian self-determination. We remember his legacy and air interviews from his many appearances on Democracy Now! over the years."

First Hacktivist Protest? Oberlin College Anti-Apartheid Computer Shutdown in 1984
A Xerox Corp Sigma 9, similar to the one at Oberlin College, source: WikipediaPeople say there’s nothing new on Earth and certainly when it comes to hacking and hacktivism someone did whatever it is you are thinking of before you think anyone did.
To understand the background of this story we need to understand apartheid in South Africa, the system of racial segregation put in place and maintained by successive white governments from 1948 through to 1994.
People in South Africa were given racial classifications and their legal rights, ability to move freely, employment opportunities and education were all dependent on this classification.
Millions of Black Africans in South Africa were stripped of their South African citizenship and forced from their homes into what the South African governments called “tribal homelands”, with over 80% of the nation’s land set aside for the white minority to hold.
As time went on more and more people around the world began to protest against the inhumanity and cruelty of apartheid, and pursued boycotts and demands for economic divestment to pressure the South African government to abandon the apartheid system.
Anti-apartheid poster used during the November 1984 demonstration against South African investment, Oberlin CollegeI came across the story of the 1984 Oberlin anti-apartheid campus protests that took on a hacktivist element when I read through some back issues of Computerworld magazine, while doing some research on another topic.
First though I want to stress that the part of the wider protest that involved school computer resources was not the main protest, which revolved around traditional peaceful protest tactics.
In November of 1984 Oberlin College held a board of trustees meeting, around 300 students protesting against the college holding millions of dollars in stock in companies that were based in South Africa lined the entry ways to the Mudd Library where the meeting was being held.
A much smaller group of students decided that they would take their protest to the school’s computer systems.
“Demonstration against South African investment, Oberlin College”, Thursday November 22, 1984, Oberlin College ArchivesThe December 17th Computerworld magazine article “System used in protest” by Donna Raimondi states that Student Coalition Against Apartheid “activists here tried but failed to overload the campus computer system to bring attention to their demands that Oberlin College divest itself of stock in South African companies” and describes this as a “futile attempt”.
“Students try to overload computers”, Associated Press, 2nd of December, 1984John Harvith, Oberlin College’s public relations office representative is quoted as saying that “student organization got together to determine how to protest, and the organization as a whole decided not to use computers to do it” and that a smaller splinter group of activists numbering between 4 (his estimate) and 12 (as listed in the Rotunda article below) students tried to overload the college’s Sigma 9 computer system.
The group of students simultaneously sat at terminals and ran tasks that they believed would eat system resources, in this regard they were an early example of what I call a “voluntary human botnet”, people coordinating performing a manual denial of service attack. Some of the students also ran print job loops that caused college printers to keep “spewing out garbage printouts”, this is similar to so called “black fax” tactics used in the 90s to run through fax machine ink while also tying up the attached phone line.
The Associated Press covered the protest as well, and noted that “students also began checking out and returning armloads of books in an attempt to shut down a library computer.” Associated Press noted though that “although about 1,500 books were checked out, compared with a normal 200 to 300, the computer system was not affected”, once again according to John Harvith, from Oberlin College’s public relations office.
Longwood College’s The Rotunda newspaper, from January 22nd 1985, includes details of anti-apartheid student protests across the U.S. that ramped up in the winter of 1984 and it includes a mention of the Oberlin College computer tactics.
And in a somewhat more radical tactic, 12 members of Oberlin College’s Student Coalition Against Apartheid tried unsuccessfully to shut down the campus computer system and hold it hostage until the school sold off its $30 million in South African-tied companies.
Student Anti-Apartheid Groups Organize, David Gaede, The Rotunda, January 22nd, 1985
Regardless of how well planned or organized the hacktivist element of the wider protest might have been, people certainly paid attention.
While the attempt to shut down the Sigma 9 computer at Oberlin as part of the anti-apartheid protest in 1984 may have failed, Oberlin did eventually divest from South African investments in line with student activist demands after a sit in protest by hundreds of students that lasted 3 days in 1987.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu after his visit to Oberlin College, Toledo Blade, 26th of May, 1987One thing I noticed in all of the mainstream media coverage of the protest was that Oberlin College representatives were at great pains to point out that the protest had been entirely ineffective, that they were able to catch the activity happening and that they took swift action to prevent it impacting computing resources. The articles themselves use words like “futile”.
I wonder if this was as much to discourage other, potentially more technical students, replicating the tactics of the protest in a more successful fashion than it was to simply report that the goals of this particular protest had not been achieved.
If you know of similar protests that involved computers in the 80s I’d love to hear about them, I’m sure it will turn out that there were events that pre-date this one.
