-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Melbourne & Ballarat Public Hearing on WTO Date: Sat, 4 Sep 1999 14:02:33 +1000 From: "Alan Griffiths" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Everyone, You can now register a placement on the DFAT site if you wish to attend the public hearing in Melbourne, concerning DFATs negotiations at the WTO Round on Australia's behalf. It is imperative that we get as many people along as possible to illustrate our opposition to these comprehensive talks that aim to exclude all Indigenous, Labour, Environmental and civic rights, among a whole gamut of other 'Non-Tariff-Barriers' as well. In fact anything which stands in the way of corporations from making money. Plus a similar MAI (Multilateral Agreement on Investment) has not been ruled out. If this does not concerned you yet, then how about an entire fire sale of all our services under GATS (General Agreement on Trade & Services), ie. what's left of our education, health, utilities, audiovisual sector, telecommunications etc, etc. Please get as many people along as possible. This may be your only chance to meet the people who are making decisions that directly effect your future and your children's. Thank you for you help, yours, AL www.nettrek.com.au/~brian/ ps, you can register at this site.... http://www.dfat.gov.au/trade/negotiations/hearings/ -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
