Good news. Rice and Rumsfeld have postponed their Adelaide visit. Our
good city saved from the presence of their unholy sleazilinesses.
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 Rice's 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"
Yours in Solidarity
