I come from a land downunder.
Check this out. yes, its true, we have dipsticks in parliament and not only do we have dipsticks in parliament, they are S*#T Stirring dipsticks.

He says in his invitation,
"A wide range of skills are involved in campaigning for social change from how to plan and undertake direct action like protests, blockades and locking on,"
.

He purposely left out, "And how to seriously damage or destroy expensive earth moving machinery, mining conveyor belts and mining machinery, and BYO Marijuana."

And yes he gets voted in purely on the growing numbers of dole bludging drug taking hippies.

"Suggested contribution: $20 waged, $10 unwaged to cover the cost of lunch & room bookings"
.

Would one consider a dole bludging, waiting for their sit down money day, prospective activist trainee, a waged or an unwaged bludger!


"Calling all campaigners and activists!

We are running a training day for anyone who wants to become more involved in their community as a non-violent active campaigner.

What do you need to do to run a successful campaign? What kind of skills does your organisation need to make an impact?

A wide range of skills are involved in campaigning for social change from how to plan and undertake direct action like protests, blockades and locking on, through to social media, data collection, FOI requests, distribution lists and research.

Come along for a whole day of interactive panels and workshops to help you develop your campaign and skills.

Being a grassroots political party, developing and sharing these skills is very important for the Greens.

When: 29 March 2014, 9am-4.30pm
Where: University of Technology Sydney
Who: Campaigners from Lock the Gate, Better Planning Network, animal rights groups and more
Suggested contribution: $20 waged, $10 unwaged to cover the cost of lunch & room bookings
RSVP requested to: <,kym.chapple@parliament.nsw.gov.au>.

Whether you’ve had lots of experience in protests and non-violent direct action, or whether this is a whole new area of interest for you, come along! There’s going to be a lot to share and learn.

Please share this invitation with anyone you think might be interested.

Hope to see you there.

Regards
