Subject: [TS-07] Livingstone Shire declared nuclear free
Dear Friends
Tonight my brother phoned me. Over a thousand emails were received by him, and
by other Livingstone Shire Councillors, from correspondents locally and around
Australia, from religious groups and peace activists, from people who are
unknown to him and to me, about the Nuclear Free Zone for Livingstone Shire.
The Council did pass the Nuclear Free resolution but in an amended form -
nuclear powered ships have been allowed but nothing else - no weapons and no
power stations on land. Brett says he didn't have the numbers if he didn't amend
the wording. So it is a victory of sorts - the land is won, though not yet the
sea.
Because of the volume of mail Brett received he said he was unable to thank
everyone in person.
Could you please thank all the people in your network without whom even this
symbolic victory could not have been won. And please keep up the pressure for a
full and abiding Nuclear Free and Peace-filled Australia.
Three Cheers!
Mark
