Media contacts - to have your say...
Reminder: Please send apologies if you can't make it tomorrow...
Dear CCBR Supporters,
Midday today Prime Minister Rudd announced that a target as low as 5% by 2020 is acceptable for our Government.
This is no less than a perverse response to catastrophic climate change!
Please have your say - phone the media, write a letter, say something. Let's show the politicians our disapproval of their decision to show such weak leadership - the media is looking for a community response, they want to know what you are thinking - tell them.
