Hundreds of cyclists gathered and rode through the city of Melbourne before forming '350' as a human sign to call on the Australian Government and politicians from other nation states for substantial CO2 emission reduction targets to reach the 350ppm CO2 level, regarded by many scientists as the safe level to avoid dangerous climate change.
This protest will coincided with BHP’s London annual general meeting, in solidarity with communities around the world affected by BHP’s mining activities, and to voice opposition to the proposed expansion of the Olympic Dam uranium mine

Come along with friends and family to Batman Park for some truthful discussion on Labor's push to expand the nuclear industry in Australia.
Martin Ferguson is the federal member for Batman and the Minister for Resources and Energy. Mr Ferguson is also responsible for radioactive waste management and in the near future he will announce plans to dump nuclear waste on Aboriginal land in the NT. He has failed to repeal the blatantly racist Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management Act as promised by the Labor Party before the 2007 election.
The festivities on the day will feature an array of live music, vegan food and information stalls, cooking demonstrations and raffles, as well as speed-dating sessions and talks from notable speakers such as Paul Crossley and Bruce Poon.
The worldwide event celebrates the growing awareness of more ethically, environmentally and health-conscious lifestyle choices.

Launch of a National campaign to establish a new People's Bank
midday Wednesday 11th November 2009
outside the office3 of the Federal Minister for Finance and Deregulation, the Federal members for Melbourne. Mr Lindsay Tanner,
280 King Street Melbourne
It is time the financial juggernaut was derailed by a mass campaign to establish a new People's bank whose ownership (unlike the old Commonwealth bank which was sold by the Hawke-Keating Labor governments) is incorporated in the Australian constitution, so only the people will have the power to sell the new People's bank.
On October 24, the International Day of Climate Action will cover almost every country on earth, the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history with rallies, stunts and community actions all aiming to highlight the number 350. 350 parts per million is the safe level of C02 in the atmosphere identified by scientists beyond which humans face disaster. There are already over 140 350.org actions planned for Australia.
