  Paper Title:
The major focus of this paper is on the changing role of umbrella organisations in Australia during a period in which we are seeing the strengthening of market policies and the imposition of neo-liberal notions which challenge welfare state intervention on behalf of disadvantaged groups.
Organised labour and the establishment of a centralised federal industrial conciliation and arbitration system, with parallel systems operating at state government level, enabled this to happen.

All these organisations are still in their early stages, and the umbrella organisation set up at Base Agip beach in Pointe-Noire is a federation of all these groups and associations.
Our organisation therefore went into dialogue with the authorities and we were able to show that when we catch sharks, the rest of the body parts is consumed locally or processed (salted or dried) and sent to markets upcountry.

 Class War : The lessons of organisation
In fact some variants of this even suggest that to be organised in the here and now is actually counter-revolutionary as any form of organisation today will be inevitably corrupted by bourgeois thinking.
The sad fact is that most groups (including, in the end, Class War) do things not because they believe it will affect the world, but to defend their own integrity and maintain their sense of identity (this is the 'group patriotism' that we're determined to destroy).
Maybe it's time for us to turn the question of organisation on its head: it's not a problem to be solved by adopting this or that platform or this or that structure.
