Bob Brown: The Inconvenient Truth About Coal
What: Public Forum
When: 3.30-5pm, Sunday 11 March 2007
Who: Speakers: Senator Bob Brown, a farmer, a miner and NSW Greens
MP Lee Rhiannon. Chair: Greens candidate for Marrickville, Clr Fiona
Byrne.
Where: Marrickville Town Hall, 303 Marrickville Road, Marrickville
Greens Senator Bob Brown said:
"Unless greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced in the next
10 years, we Australians will experience punishing change to our
climate, our oceans and our capacity to produce food, and have secure
supplies of water.
"Here is the inconvenient truth for politicians: Australia cannot
address climate change without reducing its coal exports and
emissions. Australia must kick the coal habit.
"The beauty of Australia's natural resources is that we can go from
being a world loser with coal to a world leader with clean energy
production in rapid time. The better we plan a transition towards
renewable energy, the less disruptive it will be for the coal workers
and the Australian economy.
Greens candidate for Marrickville, Councillor Fiona Byrne said:
"Bob Brown will outline his plan for how we can build a renewable
energy sector to enable a phasing out of the NSW coal industry.
"Sharing the stage will be a fifth generation farmer fighting to save
his land from a proposed coal mine and a Hunter Valley miner whose
experience has made him question the 'profit before everything'
mentality of the industry.
"We're inviting residents to consider the powerful contradiction
between Labor's bid to appear environmentally responsible while
overseeing the biggest expansion of the coal industry in NSW's
history.
