Extinction Emergency RMIT Storey Hall

Extinction Emergency RMIT Storey Hall


     On the 29th of August 2013, Rose and I attended the Extinction Emergency presentation at RMITs Storey Hall in Melbourne. The hall was completely full. We were there to listen to Professor Tim Flannery, Dr Bob Brown (Bob Brown Foundation), and Professor David Lindenmayer speak about the plan for the Great Forest National Park, proposed for Victoria. The event was hosted by Adam Bandt (Greens).

     We met some very interesting people, including Sarah Rees, from My Environment, and the crew from Friends of Leadbeater's Possum. We had a delightful conversation with some of the Sea Shepherd crew (very interesting people!), who invited us to inspect the ships soon.

     The video quality is just barely acceptable - we'll be updating the video camera before the next event.

     The two professors gave us the facts.

     Bob Brown had some important messages. He asked us to stop the logging. He urged peaceful methods, but said we must stop the chainsaws. He suggested we group together with 5 or 6 people from our neighbourhoods to try to preserve Leadbeater's Possum from extinction. Sarah Rees urged us to stop the bulldozers.
