The Australian Parliament is running hearings about Australia's
relationship with the World Trade Organization. On day one (26th),
business and exporters will have their own round table discussion with
the government. Come to the rally outside and let them know that we
want "Fair Trade not Free Trade."
(All hearings will be conducted in the K room of the Victorian
Parliament House.)
On day two (27th), many non-government organisations which are calling
for Fair Trade will make their presentations in the afternoon session.
Come along, join the audience, and at 3:00pm everyone who wants can talk
to the committee.
Stand up for labour, environmental and human rights standards.
STAND UP FOR FAIR TRADE
