Thanks to Takver:

I have published the video of the principal speeches by climate activist David Spratt and Kelvin Thomson from last night's Climate debate organised by the Moreland Climate Group. View for yourself how Kelvin justifies (not) the Federal Government climate strategy. Low res video of 34 mins 6 secs http://www.engagemedia.org/Members/takver/videos/Moreland_climate_debate2_20090420.mpg/view

The hall was packed with probably 150 people. After the main speeches by David and Kelvin there were questions from the floor, mainly directed at Kelvin and what the Rudd Government is doing and should be doing. There were a few skeptics at the meeting, but largely people who were very concerned about climate change and global warming and actively interrogating their local Member of Parliament. Kelvin maintained caucus solidarity and refused to spill the beans on parliamentary colleagues supporting the vested interests of existing energy interests, particularly the coal lobby.

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)
