DAY 50 - AUSTRALIA UNITES FOR PETER SPENCER

 

On Monday January 11, Peter Spencer marks DAY 50 of his hunger strike. Peter is perched on a wind tower 20 metres above his farm outside Cooma.

He’s seeking compensation and a royal commission into government restrictions on land clearing. Peter’s health is deteriorating as he enters the 7th week of his campaign.

Australians are invited to visit Peter at his farm outside of Cooma on Monday January 11 from 10am until 3pm. You’re invited to bring a packed lunch or picnic and say G’day to Peter.

“Australia Unites For Peter Spencer” has the support of his daughter, Sarah, and his close mate Alastair McRobert.

A 4WD vehicle is essential to access the part of the farm where Peter is located.

If you cannot make it in person, you’re invited to email Peter at the address below.

The idea is to show support for his cause and convince Peter to end his hunger strike on DAY 50.

FARM ADDRESS: “Saarahnlee” - Shannon’s Flat - via Cooma

EMAIL PETER SPENCER: ozpond@optusnet.com.au

EMAIL KEVIN RUDD: http://pm.gov.au/PM_Connect/contact_your_pm_form
