CLIMATE ACTION GROUP
Lobbying our Local Member
The Climate Action Group held a rally outside MHR Warren Snowdon's office on March 27th as part of a national Day of Action on Climate Change. The rally was a protest against the ludicrously low emissions target the Rudd government is proposing. CAG has submitted a list of questions via Warren's office and has been given an undertaking that these questions will be answered by April 14th.

Senate Inquiry
There is a Senate Select Committee on Climate Policy requesting input from organisations or individuals by this Wed 8 April. CAG is working on a submission, but anyone can put one in. See www.aph.gov.au/Senate/committee/climate_ctte/info.htm for where and how to send.

Action by Power and Water Corporation Jim Bamber, General Manager Retail has advised us that Power and Water expect to print comparative consumption data for electricity, water and greenhouse gas emissions on customer accounts from mid-April. Power and Water have also requested CAG's input into the design and format of a regular water consumption feature in local newspapers. (Electricity could follow.) We will be pleased to assist (and to keep nagging as necessary!)
