Stop the war on the environment and the environment of war
THREAT OF PROTESTS FORCES POSTPONEMENT OF RICE VISIT TO AUSTRALIA
To all anti-war and environmental activists,
Since our national call to action in early September, the federal government has announced that Condoleezza Rices visit to Adelaide scheduled for November is postponed because of the threat of protests. The Rice Rumsfeld Reception Committee (RRRC) is continuing preparations for a national protest should the Rice visit go ahead in the next few months which is a possibility.
As we stated in our national call, Rice was to visit Adelaide in November for the inaugural meeting of the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate (APPCDC).
This newly formed 6 nation group of greenhouse polluters is a club of 2 of the worst environmental vandals in the world (Australia and the USA) with 4 lesser polluters (China, India, South Korea and Japan) that aims to destroy the Kyoto Protocol through an alternative proposal that contains no limitation on greenhouse pollution.
Apart from the threat to the environment posed by the APPCDC, Condoleezza Rice, previously US Security Advisor, played a pivotal role in developing the fabricated justification for the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Conflicting reports about postponement - Possible smoke screens?
You may have noticed that there have been a number of recent media items indicating that this event has been postponed, and may be held next year. This postponement has been variously attributed to fears of protest, security issues, unavailability of suitable venues and logistical problems.
Media reports have suggested that the APPCDC meeting may be held in 2006 in either Sydney or Canberra. Activists need to be alert for any confirmation about a meeting in the coming months.
The need to continue planning
The war in Iraq continues and the war on the environment will only get worse if the APPCDC is successful in destroying the Kyoto Protocol.
The national response to the proposed protest in November was very positive and makes it clear that a significant national protest is both possible and widely supported in principle.
Meanwhile, Adelaide activists have decided to hold a local protest on 17 November utilising the same theme as proposed for the national protest:
Stop the war on the environment and the environment of war
