Dirty Australian Coal Party

http://www.vagmag.org - A day in the life of... THE POLITICIAN POLICE. A small but spirited demonstration greeted the 2010 Coal and Energy Conference outside Melbourne in Traralgon, Victoria on Tuesday 30th March. The meeting was a $3000 ahead networking opportunity for brown coal industry executives hoping to greenwash their deadly product. Two protestors were arrested and charged with Trespass after they gained entry to the Conference and interrupted State Energy Ministers Peter Batchelors speech.
Protestors arrived early in the morning to greet the executives and Peter Batchelor as they arrived. Calling for an end to the Australian Coal Industry and demanding answers from the Minister for Energy & Resources regarding his attendance at this event and his plans for a new coal fired power station to be built in the Latrobe Valley.

@mick4294 Haha! Go take photos of clouds and play Warcraft if you can't say anything constructive. IE: almost what you are already doing.

I believe this was just before the Vic government announced their plans to build another coal-fired power station in the Latrobe Valley. Here we have Coal CEOs meeting with politicians! Where were the papers on that one??
