Walk Against Warming 2007

This was the third annual Walk Against Warming, although today was the unofficial Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) event. The official WAW 2007, which will be held in all major Australian centers is 2 weeks before the Federal Election. This hasn't been called yet so the date has not yet been determined.



There was approximately 3000 people participating in the walk. Most of them made it to the River Stage to listen to speakers and entertainment though didn't seem to stick around till the end.

It was a good day. The guest speakers included:

• Bob Brown - Greens Senator
  
• Andrew Bartlett - Democrats Senator
  
• Don Henry - Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) Executive Director
  
• Claire Moore - Federal Labor Senator
  
• Helen Abrahams - Brisbane City Council (Labor)
  

As expected, the Liberal / National parties (the Coalition) didn't turn up as they know they would have been heckled over the lies they'd have to tell to cover up that they don't have any policies to address climate change in any realistic way.
