CARMEN LAWRENCE supports
March 5 Student Strike AGAINST WAR ON IRAQ!
[endorse the strike contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
A meeting of 850 people in Melbourne on Wednesday 29 discussed the
reasons for opposition to the war on Iraq.
Carmen Lawrence was one of the key note speakers, and spoke quite well.
Encouraging people to take to the streets rather than asking
Labor Premiers to write letters to John Howard.
In question time I passed on the news of the 20-30 national
organisations in the US who are organising a National Student Strike
against Bush's war on Iraq on March 5.
I mentioned the Youth and Students Coalition Against War plans for a
joint strike against the war here on March 5.
I asked Carmen Lawrence and Bishop Hilton Deakin if they would publicly
support students striking here on March 5 in union with
students in the US. They both expressed clear support for such an action.
Carmen Lawrence said she thought it was a great idea and strongly
supported students going on strike! The crowd at the meeting gave
a loud applause in response. She has offered to help publicise it.
