Vatskalis Konsents

Kon Vatskalis, Minister for Primary Industry, has finally agreed to face Alice Springs residents on the issues of uranium exploration and mining. A public forum will be held next time he is in town. Unfortunately, we do not have a date yet. The only indication in the letter from Minister Vatskalis is that at least 2 weeks notice will be given before his next visit. We will publicise the forum date as soon as we lock it in. All residents of Alice Springs and the surrounding lands are encouraged to attend and hold the Territory government accountable for the decisions they make.
Keep an eye out for the meeting date!

DONATE

We now have the option for those who can afford to give regular tax deductible donations to ALEC. There are direct debit and recurring credit card options that allow you to give as much as you want to ALEC, all of which you can claim at tax time. Just visit www.egive.org.au ALEC can be found in the Environment Group section. All you have to do is register and organise with your bank to take out $10, $20, $50, $100 or whatever you want each month. These funds will help ALEC to maintain a strong voice in the community and allow us the opportunity to become less dependent on government funding.
