Time to stand out!


Where: Treasury Place, Melbourne.
When: This Saturday (March 12) at 11am

The fear campaign against a price on pollution has become so absurd that talkback radio hosts are claiming that a price on pollution means the end of our economy and life as we know it. Independent MPs are even receiving death threats. 

Now, these same radio hosts have joined with climate deniers and far-right politicians to organise anti-climate action rallies as part of Tony Abbott's "people's revolt". They start on Saturday outside Julia Gillard's electorate office in Melbourne. We must make sure that on the other side of town, our movement comes together to counter their campaign. 

A number of organisations - including Get Up!, Environment Victoria, Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Greenpeace, Climate Action Network Australia, Australian Conservation Foundation and others – have joined together to organise a rally to support a price on pollution this Saturday 12th March at Treasury Place Melbourne at 11am.
