Janet Rice wants you to know about the following
Rally this Thursday
Victoria should start exporting brown coal to the developing world.
If this statement drives you to despair,
then we need you!
Our Energy Minister, Peter Batchelor, wants to allow some ‘entrepreneurs’ to get their grubby mitts on some of Victoria’s dirty coal, so they can sell it to India and make big bucks. Never mind that it increases global emissions at a time they need to be cut.
A number of climate action and environment groups think this is just plain crazy. So crazy in fact, that we’re organising a lunchtime protest this Thursday to let the Premier know he needs to nip this one in the bud.
We need you to come along on Thursday to help us tell the Premier that exporting brown coal is…well, stupid, actually.
START: 12.30pm, Thursday 22nd October
WHERE: Steps of Parliament House, Spring St
FINISH: 1.10pm – plenty of time for lunch and getting back to work!
