Join a vigil to mourn the passing of Reconciliation Victoria
The Brumby Government has defunded Reconciliation Victoria forcing it to close its doors by June 30, 2009. I just wanted to pass on a message from this important organisation:
"Reconciliation Victoria are calling on all supporters to be part of a silent vigil outside the State ALP Conference on Saturday, 13 June at the Melbourne Town Hall, Cnr Swanston and Collins Streets, from 7.30am - 10am.
Please come wearing black and feel free to bring a poster as a measure of your concern. We want to do a dignified protest, particularly as ALP delegates arrive. "
It's important that the State Labor Party gets the message that Reconciliation Victoria should be allowed to continue its good work.
National Climate Emergency Rally - 1PM June 13th (tomorrow)
A rally to keep the heat on PM Rudd and Climate Change Minister Wong to withdraw their reckless CPRS legislation, green jobs and embrace 100% renewable energy.
Where: State Library. cnr La Trobe and Swanston Streets March to Treasury Gardens. Speakers include Peter Marshal, United Firefighters Union and David Spratt, co-author of "Climate Code Red : case for Climate Emergency".
Entertainment includes: Melbourne comedian Rod Quantock.

Save Reconciliation Victoria
The Brumby Government has defunded Reconciliation Victoria, without measures to build on its success. Reconciliation Victoria has created opportunities for indigenous and non Indigenous Australians to come together to share knowledge and experience in a spirit of mutual respect for a fairer Victoria.
Filming councils is in the picture
The media has the same rights to attend and film Local Government proceedings as it does to cover Federal and State Parliamentary proceedings. That’s the verdict from Victoria’s Minister for Local Government, Richard Wynne after requests from media outlets to film a meeting of the troubled Brimbank City Council.

Reconciliation Rocks at IramooReconciliation Rocks
Reconciliation Rocks is a joint collaborative event instigated by Western Region Councils covering Brimbank, Maribyrnong, Moonee Valley, Wyndham City Councils, Melton Shire Council and Victoria University. The event was held at Iramoo Sustainable Community Centre in St Albans.
The day attracted around 100 people who enjoyed a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, free indigenous themed barbeque, music and dancing. We got to wander amongst the grasslands and wetlands of Iramoo and learn about the work for local sustainability and biodiversity preservation by this important local institution.
