When: Monday 3rd September 2007
Where: Hawthorn Town Hall, Burwood Road/Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn
Time: 7:30pm - Mon Sep 3 9:30pm
A coalition of climate change action groups across Kooyong is convening this forum to provide an opportunity to hear our House of Representatives candidates speak about what they would do to address climate change.
They are Petro Georgiou (Liberal), Ken Harvey (ALP), Peter Campbell (Greens) and possibly a Family First candidate.
The question convenor will be Michael Gorton, whose background includes being a founder of Greening Australia, a prime mover in United Nations Youth General Assemblies, an Equal Opportunities Commissioner, and chair of the Victorian Aboriginal Reconciliation Commission.
In addition, a speaker from Environment Victoria who will outline the major science findings and the immediate actions we can take. Questions will be taken from the floor. On display in the hall will be some local primary schools posters done by their children who have painted how they see reduction in greenhouse gas production, as well as some stalls with information about local climate change groups.
The Mayor of Boroondara will open this evening focused on assisting our community and our representatives to work together in playing a part to help to save our planet.

I'll be there for sure. I wrote Petro a letter and received a reply, written as if he really cares about the issue. Included with it was a document about carbon sequestration. Very interested to hear you all up against each other debating the issues!
I seemed to have received the same 'canned' response from Petro.
I intend to reply and let him know what I think of CCS, the carbon polluting indutries (oops, I mean the government's) chosen solution for continued personal enrichment (oops again, I mean global warming).
I highly recommend the recently released 'High and Dry' by Guy Pearce as the must read book on the Prime Minister's global warming strategies/policies (such as they are). Enlightening.
