Interest in activist organisations surging.

Leftwing and Antiwar groups are reporting that Australian University students have been joining their organisations in record numbers. Some activist groups are reporting that the number of students seeking to join has risen by at least twenty five percent since last year.

The rising interest in leftist and antiwar groups is directly attributed to the length of the American led war in Iraq and the unacceptably high rate of civilian casualties in that region. The antiwar and leftist groups are actively encouraging students to express their outrage at the war and the capitalist system which underpins it. Students are responding eagerly top these calls. Recently in Sydney students were active in confronting US Vice-President Dick Cheney when he briefly visited the city.
