Make Poverty History are holding an electoral forum in Geelong, to enable voters the chance to ask our political leaders their views and policies on:
- Tackling global poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals
- Increasing Australia’s overseas aid commitments
- Developing adaptation funding and a global agreement on climate change
80% of Australians support the government committing 0.7% of national income to aid. Yet Australia gives less than half this amount and lags behind most wealthy nations.
Venue:
Deakin University, Waterfront Campus
1 Gheringap St, Geelong
Time:
6-7:30pm
Tuesday 29th June 2010
Speakers:
Richard Marles MP (Australian Labor Party)
Don Gibson (Liberal Party)
Gavin Brown (Australian Greens)
Andrew Hewett (Make Poverty History)
