AUST: Rising Tide Newcastle offer prize for biggest embarrassment to the government on climate
Categories:
Rising Tide Newcastle will be conducting a competition, awarding a prize to the person or persons who can most publicly and thoroughly embarrass the Federal Environment Minister, Ian Campbell, for his illogical and ridiculous statements on coal and climate change.
Criteria for entry will be minimal, primarily that the action draws
attention to and ridicules comments by the Minister on coal and climate change, such as:
*"If we think we're going to solve [climate change] by closing down
fossil fuel industries, we are actually going to destroy any chance of a solution."
** "What we need to do as a world is keep mining coal."*
The competition will run in the lead-up to next year's Federal election,
and be judged after the election.
Rising Tide are now calling for donations of cash or ethical prizes to
award the most successful entrants in the competition. If you can make a donation please contact risingtide@risingtide.org.au or call 4926 1641.
We would like to offer a first prize of $500 or more.
