BRIEF
No to the nuclear agenda!

Sydney

25 August 2007

Fifty people gathered outside John Howard’s Sydney office on August 23, protesting against the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership agreement, which is on the agenda of the September 8-10 APEC meeting. Speakers included anti-nuclear campaigner Helen Caldicott, Aboriginal leader Jenny Munroe and Greens Senator Kerry Nettle. Placards read: “APEC: Nuking Australia”, “No to APEC: Nuclear no solution to climate change”, “Don’t Tampa with land rights” and “No dumps, uranium mines, on Aboriginal land”. Attendees pledged to demonstrate at the anti-APEC demonstration on September 8 despite massive police intimidation. The picket was organised by the Sydney Nuclear-Free Coalition.
