Protest the developed world’s dirtiest water guzzling power plant. See www.switchoffhazelwood.org

We have signed petitions, met with our political representatives, Walked Against Warming and shown how much we care about climate change at the polls. Yet our greenhouse emissions continue to escalate and our government is expanding it's support for the coal industry - with tax-payers dollars.

The time for talk has passed...It's time for Action. Join us on Sunday September 13, 2009 for a day of peaceful community protest and mass civil disobedience at the Hazelwood coal power station in Victoria's Latrobe Valley. In the spirit of the great global history of civil disobedience (Gandhi’s salt march, the American civil rights movement, the protection of Tasmania’s Franklin River), Switch off Hazelwood. Switch on Renewables is a chance, at this crucial moment in history, for ordinary people to stand up for a safe climate and for a transition to a renewable energy future!

Old King Coal was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he... Quarry Vision Part 457. OhMyGawd Plutocrats are back or maybe they never went away ?

"What ? State Police repression ordered by Politicians who serve Coal & Corporates Lobby ...(unbelieveable ?) never happen in Oz, okay except maybe the Loy Yang coal fired power plant before November 2007 Federal Election, the Newcastle Port Coal export site, logging of old growth Forests, North-South Pipe-Line, DeSal Plant, well apart from them we are with the grassroots....I'm telling you my dear that it can't happen here. etc" - Kelvin "astroturf" Thompson Wills MP (thinking aloud at last night's Climate Change meeting at Coburg Town Hall Monday April 20th)
