The next national organization meeting will be as follows:

Sunday 29th January 2012
Time: 6:00pm – 8:00pm EST
Location: Teamspeak – TZM Australia room

Please feel free to attend. Meetings are open to all for the sake of transparency (they are also recorded). Due to limited time generally only organizers/coordinators speak, although if there is limited traffic and/or you have something important to share then there may be an opportunity to do so during the meeting. Otherwise there will be an opportunity for general discussion once the business side of the meeting is over – all members are invited to participate in this. For agenda items please check this link to a google-doc.

The main focus of the next meeting will be plans for Z-day 2012 – planned for Saturday 17th March. Time is short and plans need work – so please chime in with your ideas as and when they come up!

Spirit of the Times issue 3 Is Out!

Happy New Year from the team at The Zeitgeist Movement Australia!

Our first offering of 2012 to the awakened community is the latest issue of our home-grown magazine, Spirit of the Times.

Issue 3 centres around contemporary economic issues and the concept and process of transition to a much-needed alternative economic zeitgeist. This issue is packed with analytical investigation of how we got to where we are now and solutions for moving forward to a more sustainable future.

We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

Here’s to a sustainable-solutions start to 2012 – may your year bring hope, inspiration and a sense of empowerment.

TZMau Organizers’ open Team Speak Meetup

David Zwolski — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 06:21:36 +0000

Hey there!

The next organizers’ meeting is coming up soon – details are:

Date: Sunday – 15th
Time: 6pm-8pm EST
Location: Teamspeak – Zeitgeist Australia room

This meeting will be open to the public, meaning that anyone can listen in. However, as is also the case with international meetings, only coordinators/representatives will be able to speak during the meeting due to time constraints (with 11,000 members it has the potential to get chaotic!), although if there is low traffic others will get a chance. Once the business part of the meeting is over (8pm) there will be ample opportunity for all present at the meeting to continue their discussion and chip in their 2-cents’ worth, so those who did not have a chance to speak before can do so then

For a look at the agenda please check: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1567jmCuRWU-KQuVrLsFN4DqxZAqbW2WsTuIg… As it’s a google-doc please feel free to add any suggestions for agenda items that you feel need to be discussed. These will be prioritised at the beginning of the meeting.

Cheers, and hope to seeyas (hearyas?) next week,

Buy Nothing Day

David Zwolski — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:43:39 +0000

Buy Nothing Day morphs into a Wildcat General Strike on November 28

There is one way you can do to avoid the collapse of this human experiment of ours on Planet Earth: we have to consume less. So this November 28 in Europe and overseas, Adbusters in kinship with Zeitgeist Australia is calling for a Wildcat General Strike. We’re asking tens of millions of people around the world to bring the capitalist consumption machine to a grinding – if only momentary – halt. We want you to shut off your lights, televisions and other nonessential appliances. We want you to park your car, turn off your phones and log off of your computer for the day. We’re calling for a Ramadan-like fast. From sunrise to sunset we’ll abstain en masse – not only from holiday shopping, but from all the temptations of our five-planet lifestyles.

Learn more about Buy Nothing Day and get involved: Take the plunge and plan or join an event. Let’s bring about the global mindshift our survival depends on!
