摘要：In mid-November in Sydney Australia, after a thousands-strong rally that stretched between Town Hall and Martin Place, several hundred Occupy Sydney protestors attempted to re-Occupy Sydney in a new site in Hyde Park. The previous site of occupation had been Martin Place, Sydney. Like other occupations around the world, Occupy Sydney was concerned with corporate greed, the global financial system, and the corporatisation of public space. However, it also touched on many issues not specific to the City of Sydney, that had relevance to the local political context. In particular housing affordability, unused buildings, indigenous politics, and homelessness were issues that were part of the Occupy Sydney conversation. An earlier Occupation, which lasted eight days, had been broken up in a dawn raid on October the 23rd that involved arrests, some violence, and confiscation of property.
