The stretch of High Street outside the office of ALP State MP for Northcote Fiona Richardson was more than usually noisy this morning as peak-hour motorists – and several cyclists - responded to the call from members of Darebin Climate Action Now who were picketing the office with placards opposing the projected HRL coal-fired power station in the Latrobe valley and calling for real action on climate change.
This followed a successful action last week – see http://indymedia.org.au/2010/10/28/push-to-make-coal-history-northcote-2... – and will be repeated every Wednesday throughout November in the lead-up to the State Election on 27 November – see http://darebincan.wordpress.com/2010/10/02/rally-at-fiona-richardsons-of.... DCAN is also holding its own Q&A-style election forum on climate change next Monday – details on the DCAN website: http://darebincan.wordpress.com
