** Occupy Brisbane would like to thank all those people who have supported us since our beginning a few months ago. We wish you a happy new year's, and hope to see many of you standing with us again in 2012. Thank you! **

Welcome to the official Occupy Brisbane General Assembly website!

We are peaceful citizens from all walks of life looking to occupy Brisbane until change occurs. Gaining our genesis from 'Occupy Wall St', we believe financial institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

We live in a world where the 1% that created the financial and environmental crises that we now face are bailed out and rewarded, while the 99% pay the price through their wages, their pensions and their social institutions.

We are part of a movement that aims to connect the important struggles now happening both here in Australia and around the world. We are creating a path towards a new society based on human need and the democratic participation of all.

We extend our hand, we invite you to join us, because another world is possible!
