On the 20th of January, a Federal Community Cabinet meeting will be held in Adelaide. So I’m organising a Murray protest to be held outside, to let all the Federal ministers know what we think of their inaction on this national emergency.  

An immediate Federal intervention can help save the Murray and get the floodwaters down to the Riverland and Lower Lakes.  Even if there is agreement to send some water down the Murray this will only be piecemeal - we need a permanent whole river solution instead of constant crisis management! 

Let’s take our demands for immediate action right to the Prime Minister. All South Australians who care: turn up to the Community Cabinet meeting and send Rudd a rocket on the Murray.   

When: 20th January 2010 at 4:30pm (assemble at 4pm)

Where: Norwood Morialta High School Oval, 505 The Parade Magill 

Please pass this event on to your other networks, it is vital that we get enough people to get the attention of Rudd and Rann, and don't forget to bring signs stating what suburb or town you are from and if you like bring a bucket  - some of those interstate Ministers might have brought some water.
