'As I said in the cahoot to poets, this Issue is Intended to be a safe zone for poets to express their resistance to oppression in its many forms. Further, the publication of this issue is in immediate response to planetary environmental degradation verging on complete col-lapse, to issues of Injustice and unfairness In our various social spaces, and is a challenge to institutional bigotry, brutality, and indifference. Issues of injustice are not separate, but are In dialogue. I also stated the need for primary recognition and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural and land rights, for an intense advocacy for the natural environment, for the rights of refugees and the celebration of cultural diversity, as an enactment for any whose voice is suppressed, for a resistance to violence and the anus Industry. for animal and human rights.'
