Protest puts positive spin on climate action
THOUSANDS turned out to support climate action at a family friendly gathering in Brisbane's King George Square yesterday.
Organised by activist group GetUp!, the rally featured face painting and music for children - a deliberate move to show the positive message behind climate change action, national director Simon Sheikh said.
GetUp! did not want ''to have a louder, angrier rally but to show the difference in both our numbers and message, the difference between fear and hope", he said.
"We can answer their angry slogans and misinformation with a positive, family friendly gathering to stand up for our vision for clean energy and preserving a safe climate for our kids."
...
"Let history record that when they tried to engineer a dangerous and angry Tea Party-like movement in Australia, ordinary families neutralised it with a larger and peaceful positive movement."

The ever phony happy face of Liberal Fascism is foisted upon us yet again.
