Reports are coming in of a ploughshares action in Australia on a Tiger attack helicopter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_Tiger
presently participating in "Operation Talisman Sabre" joint U.S./ Austraian military exercises taking place near Rockhampton, central Queensland.
Tiger helicopters have been used by French forces in the war on Afghanistan.
Australian Tiger helicopters are based at Robertson Barracks, near Darwin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson_Barracks
Australian forces continue to wage war in Afghanistan. Operation Talisman Sabre exercises are geared around interventionary warfare scenarios.

catholic peace activist Bryan Law, from Cairns cut the security fence, then made his way to the Australian army military helicopter by means of riding a large tricycle, he then used a garden mattock to begin the disarmament of the attack helicopter. Longtime peace activist Graeme Dunstan has also been arrested and charged following the action.

Law had previously been arrested a few weeks ago under the Aviation Act for "threteaning" to undertake this action. He has broken those bail conditions so is likely to remain in custody until trial.

We ask for your prayers that much good will come.

And above all, we hope that others will find ways of directly resisting this permanent state of war that Australia finds itself in.
