WHERE: Mount Waverley Youth Centre, 45 Miller Cres, Mount Waverley, Victoria

WHEN: Sunday 12 January, 10:30am

WHAT: Concerned local community members will assemble outside opposition leader Peter Dutton’s rally in the Chisholm electorate (Melbourne) this weekend. They will deliver a message from their community calling for action on climate change and a commitment to cutting climate pollution and power power bills with renewable energy now, not a fantasy of nuclear reactors in decades time.

From the community statement:
“We support the continued roll out of renewable energy. The economic benefits of solar, wind, and storage is essential to maintain Australia’s prosperity.

“Strong action on climate was endorsed by Australians at the last election and is demonstrated by the strong uptake of rooftop solar in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. We urge Mr Dutton to respect the preferences of the electorate and the aspirations of our community."

ENDS
