Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation 40th Anniversary

From ASF-IWA

In the late afternoon on the 27th of January in 1986, in the upstairs meeting room at (the original premises of) Jura Books in King St., Newtown, the Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation (ASF) was founded. Thus began the most significant, impactful and effective organisation in the history of anarchism in Australia.

John Englart, 1955-2025: A life of honesty, integrity and social conscience

From Brunswick Voice

Much of John’s life from 1975 to 1990 revolved around the Anarchist movement in Sydney.  His experience in the short-lived Federation of Australian Anarchists cemented in him a determination to do Anarchism differently.  Accordingly, in 1977 he was a founding member of Jura Books, now Sydney’s longest running Anarchist bookshop.  Differences within the collective led to a split in 1982, with John amongst those leaving to establish the Redfern Black Rose Anarchist Bookshop.  Out of those experiences, John learnt much about working with people in a collective and egalitarian way.

Brisbane has a long history of radical/punk zine culture going back decades. Arguably going back to the 1970s with The Saints, 4ZzZfm and that culture of DIY publishing. It is in this spirit that the Kurilpa Anarchist Bookfair was organised. That there has always been numerous zine events and DIY publishing in the city, but this being one of the first in a long time to be labelled “Anarchist”.
