Tonight I attended the launch of The Greens No Dams campaign. Enjoyed a bit of music, a touching and inspiring film about Tassie’s legendary Franklin River campaign and – at the end of the evening – a speech from Senator Bob Brown.

Bob is spending the weekend visiting those who would be closely affected should the Logan River and Mary River be dammed and inspiring action from all those interested in preserving the natural environment.

It’s all about water, water, water – and there are other options aside from silly dams.

This is the start of a long debate – a debate that will be won Mr Beattie. Let’s not drag it out. I’ve got better things to do on my weekends.
