Activists from Quit Coal were able to get a message across this morning: with a banner drop over the main entrance of the Victorian State parliament house. The banner said "'Coal is the single greatest threat to civilisation and all life on our planet' Prof. James Hansen, NASA. Why is Baillieu funding coal?" At the same time activists in central NSW at Boggabri climbed a coal-crusher and dropped a banner which said "Stop the Coal Rush: Protect Health, Water, Climate"

Carbon Capture and Storage World Conference Protest in Melbourne

Submitted by Flowerpower on Tue, 29/06/2010 - 8:41pm

A small group of determined protestors crashed the party of the Carbon Capture and Storage World Conference in Melbourne on June 22nd. In addition to protesting at the entrance to Crown Casino, protestors managed to briefly enter the building and a few managed to sneak into the conference itself to heckle the Minister for Energy/Pollution Peter Batchelor. Climate criminals from International Power, TRU energy and even from Canada’s tar sands villains had gathered at the $5000 a head conference to spruik the dirty lie that coal can be “cleaned”.
