Greens announce national day of action tomorrow, amidst public outcry at
5% target 

Monday, 15 December 2008

Australian Greens Deputy Leader and climate change spokesperson, Senator
Christine Milne, said Prime Minister Rudd's dangerous 5% emissions
reduction target had sparked disbelief and outrage from the community.

"My office has been inundated with phone calls and emails from
Australians who are disappointed and angry at Prime Minister Rudd's 5%
target and want to know what they can do to fix it," Senator Milne said.

"I invite anyone who wants to send a message to the Rudd government that
Australians won't surrender to climate change, and that 5% isn't good
enough, to join me on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra
tomorrow, along with my ACT Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury," Senator Milne
said.

Senator Milne said Greens were organising protests across in most
capital cities and that details were available on the Greens website
