BRIEF
Forum sparks new anti-nuclear group

Garry Walters, Port Macquarie

2 June 2007

On May 12, 400 people from the NSW mid-north coast packed the Kempsey Anglican Hall for a public meeting organised by the Macleay Nuclear Free Alliance (MNFA). With the theme “Nuclear power — not the answer to climate change”, the afternoon forum had as its featured speakers anti-nuclear campaigner Dr Helen Caldicott and NSW Greens MP John Kaye.

Inspired by the forum, 20 residents of the Hastings area of the Port Macquarie-Hastings Shire met on May 26 at the Sea Acres Rainforest Centre, Port Macquarie, to initiate a Hastings Nuclear Free Alliance. It was decided to begin with monthly Saturday meetings.
