More than 400 people joined the rally on May 16 to show their serious concerns with the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. Despite the wind, early start and less than a week’s notice, over 400 people attended the rally to oppose the further weakening of the already inadequate Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. A broad mix of community members marched from Town Hall to the ALP Offices in Sussex St to oppose the influence of the fossil fuel lobby, and to demonstrate their support for a fast transition to renewable energy.

IT’S TIME to:

- Stop handouts to big polluters
- End the influence of the fossil fuel lobby
- Fast-track clean, renewable energy
- Create green jobs and protect the climate

Details: 10am-12noon, this Saturday 16th May, Sydney Town Hall. March to ALP Offices (377 Sussex St, Sydney).

Speakers: Cate Faehrmann (Nature Conservation Council of NSW), Senator Bob Brown (The Greens), Simon Sheikh (GetUp!), Graham Brown (ex-Hunter Vallay coal miner and climate change activist), Bev Smiles (Mudgee District Environment Group), Holly Creenaune (Friends of the Earth Sydney).

PLEASE BRING: Banners and placards to show your opposition to handouts to big polluters, and your support for strong climate action.

Join this peaceful community protest to oppose the Federal Government’s recent moves to weaken an already inadequate Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. Enough is Enough when it comes to the undue influence of big polluters over decisions being made on climate change.

Please contact Jonathan Boys on (02) 9279 2466 or jboys_at_nccnsw.org.au if you can help out on Saturday.
