Please kindly UNFUCK the world - Melbourne World Environment Day 2011
On World Environment Day, 5th June 2011, tens of thouands of people rallied around Australia to say Yes to a safe climate and in support of a carbon price. An Estimated 10,000 people crowded onto the lawns of the State Library in Melbourne to listen to speakers and music in a family friendly rally with lots of placards, banners and beanies on heads.
Under proposed laws to be introduced by the Baillieu Victorian State Government swearing in public places - such as this sign - could be deemed offensive by the police and an on the spot fine of $240 issued. The police are being given the duty of arbiters of public morality. More info see the Age Big fines for those who cry foul.
So who is the greater criminal, this young woman with her sign or the large companies that have been allowed to freely pollute with no regulation to date by the Government and argue against a carbon tax. Which is more offensive to public morality? A State Government that retreats on climate policy or a citizen exercising free speech to get a message across?
