Hopefully you have seen this week’s copy of The Melbourne Times. There is a double page spread devoted to us and our campaign. It is worth hunting down a copy, as it is interesting to see the work we have been doing from ‘outside’.
Speaking about our work, things keep rolling along. Yesterday lunchtime we were part of a flash demonstration at the State Library to vent our disgust at the shape of the CPRS, the huge payouts it locks in for polluters, with promises of more to come.
Where is the money for individuals trying to reduce their carbon footprint by joining the micro-generation revolution? Where is the money for direct investment in large and small scale solar, wind and wave technology?
Last night GetUp! volunteers met at Donkeywheel to phone Senators, both Labour and Liberal, to tell them how we feel. The certainly got the message. To see Ailene in full flight, expressing her outrage clearly and forcefully, is a sight to behold!
Over the next week there are more events planned. Our campaign ends with the Walk on Warming on the 12th, so I am hoping that everyone gets involved in the last week or so, and helps send a strong message to our government and governments worldwide, that anything less than binding targets at Copenhagen is not acceptable.
