Northcote residents say No! to HRL coal-gas power station

Nothcote residents took their concerns about plans to build a new coal-gas power station in Victoria to the morning peak-hour in High Street on Wednesday 6 October. They was lots of encouragement from people going to work on foot, bike and car with their action outside the office of the local Labor MP.

Their message was:

Mr Brumby,

You want us to trust that you will take action on climate change this time. You hope we’ll be impressed by your offer to (maybe) close a
quarter of Hazelwood power station, Australia’s dirtiest.

But you are offering $50 million of taxpayers money to open a new fossil fuel power station that would cancel out all the emissions saved.

If you were genuine, you would replace ALL of Hazelwood and not support the building of a new, dirty, coal power station.
