TAKE AFGHANISTAN DEBATE TO PARLIAMENT: VIGIL TO-MORROW TUES 14 SEPT


 Afghanistan War Vigil. 
 Elizabeth St Entrance to Melbourne Central Station
Tuesday 14 September, 4.30 – 6 pm:

Because of the unusual election result and the unfortunate deaths of more Australian soldiers, the Afghanistan war has been thrown into the centre stage of politics. 


In this context the Australian Greens have negotiated an agreement for a coalition with Labor, which included a commitment to "a full parliamentary debate on Afghanistan". 


Given the reluctance of both major parties to have any open discussion about the Afghanistan war, this is definitely a step forward which hopefully open the space for peace activists to call for troops to be withdrawn.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
