Protest against brown coal exports
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!
RSVP: Let us know you’re coming by sending a quick email to exportingcoalisdumb
Organised by Climate Action Moreland, Yarra Climate Action Now, Darebin Climate Action Now, Local’s Into Victoria’s Environment, Friends of the Earth and Environment Victoria
