WTO ambassador in Hobart
Australia's ambassador to the WTO (chosen by the Howard government) will be
speaking in Hobart this coming Friday at Parliament House from 11.45pm. This
is the person designated to represent Australia at the WTO ministerial in
Qatar in November. Ostensibly, his purpose in Hobart is to find out what we
want him to take to the WTO meeting. The M1 Alliance has accepted an
invitation to attend this meeting. It seems that most other invitees are
representatives of business groups although apparently Unions Tasmania and
some other more community oriented groups will be there. The M1 Alliance has
called for a protest outside this meeting from 11.15am calling for the
Howard government to boycott the November ministerial in solidarity with the
global movement against corporate globalisation. If they insist on attending
the meeting, the Australian rep should move a motion calling for the
dissolution of the WTO as the most immediate move it can make to win global
justice.
Protest
11.15 am
Fri July 13
Parliament House, Hobart
