COMMUNITY GROUPS HAVE ORGANISED A RALLY ON THE STEPS OF PARLIAMENT HOUSE ON WED 24TH AUG. SPEAKERS WILL BE ADDRESSING THE RALLY BETWEEN 11.00AM AND MIDDAY.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS RALLY IS TO RAISE AWARENESS TO THE FACT THAT THE ALUMINA INDUSTRY EXPANSIONS WILL AFFECT MORE COMMUNITIES THAN JUST THOSE LOCATED CLOSE TO REFINERIES.
Groups Include Yarloop and Districts Concerned Residents Committee, Community Alliance for Positive Solutions, Kwinana Progress Association, Alumina Widows and Workers Association, Alliance for a Clean Environment, Conservation Council WA, Conservation Of the Rockingham Environment.
THE RALLY IS ALSO TO HIGHLIGHT THE EXTREMELY INADEQUATE RESPONSE OF THE REGULTORS IN PROTECTING HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
At WESTRALIA.NET we never expect big business to be squeaky-clean, A-Grade corporate citizens.
Why should they, when the WA government actively encourages criminal behaviour by not enforcing regulations?
Why do the bureaucrats not protect our citizens' health as they are employed to do?
Why do they not protect the environment as they are employed to do?
Why does the Corruption & Crime Commission go out of its way to avoid these type of investigations?
...Indeed, what is the CCC good for?
