PWF has received a message from David Winderlich, an independent South Aussie MLC with a website proclaiming ‘Community, compassion, courage’.
David is organising a Murray River protest on the 20 January, outside the Federal Community Cabinet meeting to be held in Adelaide,
“to let all the Federal ministers know what we think of their inaction on this national emergency”.
David says
“An immediate Federal intervention can help save the Murray and get the floodwaters down to the Riverland and Lower Lakes. Even if there is agreement to send some water down the Murray this will only be piecemeal – we need a permanent whole river solution instead of constant crisis management!
Let’s take our demands for immediate action right to the Prime Minister. All South Australians who care: turn up to the Community Cabinet meeting and send Rudd a rocket on the Murray. ”
When 20 January 2009 at 4:30pm (assemble at 4pm)
Where Norwood Morialta High School Oval, 505 The Parade Magill
What To Do
1. Please pass this event on to your other networks, it is vital that we get enough people to get the attention of Rudd and Rann.
2. Don’t forget to bring signs stating what suburb or town you are from and if you like bring a bucket – some of those interstate Ministers might have brought some water.
3. If you’re interested in being a part of this, or want to volunteer to help organise the protest, contact my office on 8237 9278 or through email benjamin.howieson@parliament.sa.gov.au.
Let’s know how it goes – Good Luck!
