During the ALP national conference, I spent my time in costume, mask and a
URANIUM, LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND sign. Sadly the ALP delegates voted in favor
of uranium mining expansions.
Nuclear weapons proliferation is as serious as the climate crisis. A public
debate needs to surface on this issue connecting the dots from uranium
mining to DU and other weapons of mass destruction industry, that is wasting
away our water air and earth.
I suggest between now and the elections that we centre our protest on this
decisions by helping the GREENS gain control of the Senate.
Either Liberal and Labour will be the government that controls the House of
Representative.
We need green progressive representatives elected in the Senate to have
power to make sure whoever is the government does not get away with their
polluting agenda without a fight.
Here is an appeal by Bob Brown calling for your help with financial
donations to run TV advertisements on why vote Green for the Senate.

Yours Benny Zable

Subject: Bob Brown, the Greens and the Senate - please help restore the
balance

Dear Friend

In this year's federal election two important decisions will be made: one
will determine who will be Prime Minister and the other will determine
if the Coalition will continue to have complete control of the Senate.

Labor can win government in 2007 - the Greens can't. The Greens can rescue
the Senate - Labor can't.

There are 20 Coalition senators up for re-election this year. If just one of
them loses their seat, the Coalition will lose control of the Senate.
If two of them lose their seats, it's likely that the Greens would have the
balance of power in their own right. It's possible to achieve such a result
-
in 1988, the Coalition won only 17 of the 20 Senate seats.

Labor would need to win 25 of the 40 Senate seats at this years election to
gain balance of power in their own right. While they won't
be able to achieve control on their own, they will be able to share the
balance of power with other parties if the Greens can win just one
senate seat from the Coalition.

Unless Bob Brown and the Greens gain balance of power in the Senate , even a
Labor Government will not be able to
rip up the IR laws or introduce climate change policies

You can help ensure that Bob Brown and the Australian Greens achieve balance
of power in the Senate.

The announcement over the weekend that Labor supports massive expansions to
uranium mining and that the Coalition will pursue nuclear
power here in Australia demonstrates the importance of the Greens whoever
wins Government - We need your support to be a
strong nuclear-free voice in the parliament.

If just 40 people donate $1000 each we can run a national TV campaign.

If only 1000 people across Australia contributed $10 per week then we would
raise $300,000 before the election to ensure that all
voters know just how important this election is.

To make a fortnightly contribution to Bob's campaign please go to:

It doesn't matter if you can give a little or a lot - together, with the
help of other Australians, we can achieve something extraordinary.

Even if you can't help out financially, please help out by forwarding this
email to any friends or family members who you think might
be able to help.

Thanks for your support.
