A forum, with Sally Moxham, who has long worked in the sustainability field, and who has just spent a year heading up the Energy Efficiency and Microgeneration Policy Unit in the Scottish Government.

All welcome,  Friday May 14.

In February 2010 Martin Ferguson announced his plans to dump nuclear waste at Muckaty Station in the NT despite being fully aware of the opposition of many Ngapa and other Traditional Owners.

There will be a protest outside his office, this friday April 30. 

Traditional Owners fighting Martin Ferguson's plan to dump nuclear waste on their land in the Northern Territory will be in Melbourne on April 21.

Please come to this public meeting to hear their story and to find out what we can do to support them.

Out beyond the Bogong High Plains, and about a 45 minute drive north of Omeo is the lovely valley of Glen Wills. This small community is increasingly gaining a reputation as a place where low impact eco tourism provides a reliable income for locals. From ski touring and walking on the High Plains to rafting on the Mitta Mitta and a range of other activities, Glen Valley is a real oasis.

We are currently working with some local land owners and tourism operators to get a number of logging coupes removed from the cutting schedule. This is partly because there will be considerable visual impacts along a section of the Alpine Walking Track (the major trail that goes from Walhalla to Canberra) and also because there are plans to harvest directly above the water supply of the Glen Wills Mountain Retreat.

Please check here for details on a letter you can send to the Minister for Climate Change and Environment, Gavin Jennings.

Many thanks.

Join us on Monday 12th April 11am at Parliament House in Melbourne for a walk to Federation Square, where there will be a creative, fun, theatrical announcement of the new radioactive waste dump site. Make it in Ferguson’s backyard, not Muckaty’s!
