Cycle for clean energy or Cycle Against the Nuclear Cycle (CANC) - Anne Goddard added an entry about Stop the nuclear industry:
Today we (Nat and I) asked our boss if we could take some time off work to join the peace convergence 22, 23, 24th June, Qld, Australia

We had committed to going before getting the jobs.
Further, I asked if I could take extra time off to do the Rockhampton to Bundaberg leg of the CANC ride (some further 2 weeks).

Unfortunately, I cannot go all the way to Canberra again, as i am casual, no work, no pay. I am eager to return to the job as I like it and all of the team in the packing shed are wonderful people.
On the other hand, we do not want to lose our jobs … and as the recent rains have really slowed the season, i hope they will give us a favourable decision on Wednesday, when we return to work.
My family, friends, neighbours and I are attending the peace convergence to draw attention to the facts that;
1. we need safe sustainable, renewable and reliable energy supplies … with the aim of “benign” output.
2. we do not need nuclear ships in our harbours.
3. we must not allow our troops to be exposed and unmonitored in the vicinty of Depleted Uranium weapons either on the battle field, or anywhere else.
4. we do not need nuclear energy
5. we do not need nuclear waste.[Stop the nuclear industry]
I hope you will consider joining us.
Warm regards
Anne

Letter 3
Dear Dr Nelson
I write to you today to express my deep concerns about the US/Australian "Military Games".
Of course, I understand that our Aussie troops need to undergo adequate and thorough training to equip them with the skills needed to defend our country against any form of aggressive invasion. Of course, our troops need training before being placed in harms way.
However, I do not agree that my taxes and the taxes of other Australians should be "splashed about" to further advance the US's military build up in the Pacific.
Climate change is happening because of our global overuse of our precious resources. We (our "civilised" societies, our governments, our private businesses) have been using, selling, exploiting and wasting our finite resources for way too long, in a selfish and uncaring way with little to no thought for future generations or the state in which we/they leave our planet, a place who's resources we all must share, EQUALLY and FAIRLY.
