Swansea Climate Change Forum

A forum on global warming and climate change has been organised for tomorrow (Sunday) at the Swansea RSL club from 10.30am.

The forum is hosted by Jill Hall MP (ALP Federal member for Shortland) and Bob Phillips (Newcastle Greens) and include the following speakers:

* Anthony Albanese MP (ALP), Shadow Minister for Environment and Heritage
* Glenn Albrecht, Senior lecturer in environmental studies, University of Newcastle
* Dr Stewart Franks, Climatologist, University of Newcastle
* Dr John Kaye (Greens), Climate Action spokesperson, Lecturer University of NSW

The forum is expected to finish by 12.40pm.

Climate change is perhaps the defining challenge of our generation or "an inconvenient truth" for some.

The Sydney-appointed ALP candidate for Newcastle has not stated any policy position on climate change (though comments on public transport are related).

I would encourage all candidates for the State Election (or people considering whether they would run in local electorates or ones further away) to make the time on Sunday and come along to the forum.
