Stop G20 Rally
The 2006 G20 meeting of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and heads of the World Bank and IMF took place in Melbourne on November 17-19, 2006. This was the most significant gathering in Melbourne of people responsible for pushing corporate-led globalisation, neoliberalism and capitalism since the World Economic Forum in 2000.
Global corporate capitalism is a ruthless system - a system with scant regard for the interests of humans. It has co-opted and corrupted our political leadership, and the leadership of many other nations. Our actions were a vote of no confidence in this leadership, an act of defiance and resistance, and a demand that our democracy return to valuing the interests of humans and the environment above all else.
