Does Someone You Know Deserve An Award?
Who reminds you of Paterson's Curse?
Find out on 7 August at the first annual "Paterson's Curse" Environment
and Human Rights Awards, organised by The Melbourne West branch of The
Australian Greens
We're so sick of corporate bullies and government stuff-ups, we've decided
to give locals a chance to speak out against them. And to make it fun, we
want to give the worst offenders "awards" named after Melbourne's worst
environmental weeds, like Paterson's Curse!
What campaigns are you or groups you are involved with working on? What do
you want to see changed in the west of Melbourne? Which villains are you
fighting?
And yes, the positives too. Who do you find inspirational? Who are running
the best campaigns in the region, fighting for social and environmental change?
We invite you to nominate some appropriate recipients for these awards and
to attend our fabulous awards night to be held on Tuesday 7 August 2001 in
Footscray.
I've attached a nomination form for you to nominate some worthy recipients.
Nominations must be received by 27 July. ( A plain text version of this
form follows).
Final judging of the winners will be done by the audience on the night.
The Greens Senate candidate for Victoria, Scott Kinnear, will be attending
to present the awards, so the evening will also be a good opportunity to
meet Scott and find out what The Greens priorities for this year's federal
election will be.
Please join us in being part of something that's fun, serious, important
and irreverent all at the same time!
