MEDIA ALERT
DISTINGUISHED AUSTRALIANS SPEAK OUT AGAINST WAR ON IRAQ
A media conference series on the impending war
Presented by the Walk Against The War Coalition
The Howard government is sending further Australian troops to prepare to
invade Iraq, ignoring public opinion, the vital need for debate, and
without support from the Parliament or from the international community.
A broad spectrum of leading members of the Australian public are
speaking out against this war and on the humanitarian, social,
political, economic and international implications and future
consequences of such a war.
