SUBMISSION SNIP:
"...To subsidise coal is to subsidise
climate change.
Coal is the most carbon intensive
of fossil fuels and its use is a
major contributor to greenhouse
gas emissions both in Australia
and overseas.
Yet the coal industry was given a total
of $308 million in rebates for fuel excise in
2005/6,4 an amount greater than
all federal funding for renewables.
Over the life of the Coalition
Government, these grants
contributed $1.9 billion to the coal
industry(5) at a time when their
profits grew hugely; rising from a
$5 billion pre-tax profit in 2004/5
to $10 billion in 2005/06.6
The coal industry can afford to
have this subsidy removed; the
climate cannot afford to have it
continue...."

Dear friends :-)
... back in Bundy, safe and sound.
Considering we left on a wing and a prayer (with NO funds), we feel a great sense of accomplishment.
My kids (Scott 13, and Natalie, 18) had a wonderful time.
As did our dogs - Lady (a highly active and skittish female six month old rottie/border collie cross) and Chief (a 2 year old blue/border collie cross).
It was very "comfy" in Natalie's little 20 year old toyota hatchback.
It is not often that I promote donation requests, however, this request is unique.
When funding is needed to accomplish the right to fair and honest justice by our legal system, I am sure there are many who will feel as I do, and will give all they can spare. Time is well past allowing genocide to continue at the hands of our "protectors".
For more information and to donate to legal costs:
Log on to the Errol Wyles Justice Foundation at http://www.errolwylesjusticefoundation.org
All donations are Tax Deductible.
Please forward throughout your networks, anyone passing through tomorrow...
say hi :-)
