Dear Robyn
and others, you are quite right, names and wording are important in ensuring
the inclusiveness of people, in this case our
neighbours, in the naming of and invitations to APC9. Words say and mean
something. They make
important political statements that are psychologically embedded in people?s
minds and can affect attitudes and behavior.
I can
assure you there was no intention not to include our neighbours or exclude
anyone. It was an error on our part but
one we are able to easily rectify in our APC9 registration forms and other
documents, if we can get some consensus on the issue.
Instead, PN
should be best judged for what we have done on the ground to encourage
participation and inclusiveness of our neighbours and ?disadvantaged?. One
of
our members went to the recent Eco-show in NZ where she personally spoke to
permaculturalists and hand distributed many APC9 flyers of invitation. I
have
made several phone calls to NZ permaculture people, we have invited NZ guest
speakers and we continue to distribute news and information to our N Z
colleagues. We have heard that there will probably be the biggest contingent
of
New Zealanders coming to a national convergence to date. PN is also
sponsoring
two Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islanders to APC9 and we are always
looking
for ways to open doors, encourage participation, be inclusive and enable
access. We are able to put our money where our mouth is and do some of these
things
for three reasons, one, because we have a strong permaculture group
structure,
two, because we have the will and three, because we fund raise. What are
other
Permaculture Groups doing?
We have
checked the proceedings of IPC7 and find no reference of using ?Australasia?
instead
or Australia
at all. Perhaps it was another event?
Until we get a common agreement on this issue, I think we will continue
to call it Australian as others have done in the past and for the reasons
Graeme has pointed out that NZ and others have their own National
convergences. I would particularly like to know the views of our NZ and
pacific
island neighbours before assuming it is ok with them to be included in the
title or if they don?t care or are happy to continue to have their own. To
date no-one has complained.
So what?s
it to be Australia,
Australia-Pacific, Australasia,
Australasia-Pacific? What does everyone else think????? Perhaps this issue
could be re-visited and go on the agenda for a vote at APC9?Penny
PS. If
there is anything else you think we should know about could the elders of
Permaculture
with the movement?s memory please advise us (before hand if possible).

Hi all on the Oceania permaculture list,
As there was such a strong and lengthy discussion earlier in the year
about the idea of a PPP - Permaculture Peoples Party, I'm informing
everyone that there's at least one permie with many years of
experience and dedication standing for election in 3 days time.
Colin Endean is the CCC - Climate Change Coalition candidate for the
Senate in SA.
Look for CCC in your state and here's some links below to explore
what we're offering.
Colin
Hi from Colin Endean of the Climate Change Coalition.
To save paper, trees and GHG emissions this is an email ?how-to-vote?
card to give you an opportunity to find out what we are about and to
invite you to look further into the issues, policies and concerns
before you cast your vote on November 24th.
Our Policies are strong and clear about necessary and urgent Climate
Action. We have the strongest emissions target of 40% by 2020 and
mandatory renewable energy target of 30% by 2020. Our Campaign Launch
speech declares our sincerity and determination. Inaction on Climate
Change is an act of abuse against future generations
We have an opportunity at this 2007 Senate election to make a clear
statement that we believe that Climate Change is the most important
single issue facing our nation. I am excited to be standing for
election on this issue and hope that with your support we?ll create
the tipping point from which the Climate Crisis becomes our
opportunity and hope.
Visit the Australia?s National Forum if you want to see about me or
any other candidate in this election. Also my Media release to the
local media in the Mid North SA.
Why Vote for such a new political Party as the Climate Change
Coalition? Why not the Greens or Democrats?
Firstly we have the chance to name our outright concern about Climate
Change and declare that we want action.
Secondly our intent and our reason for being is as a Coalition. The
Climate Change Coalition. We know that success can only happen when
we all work together, gain support and focus on the enormity of the
tasks with collaboration and acknowledgement for all those who?ve
been working, active and contributing to the cause for many years.
Finally, the Climate Change Coalition in SA is pleased to be giving
preferences to those other parties with good Climate Change Policy
and record. We?re preferencing the Greens and then Democrats before
Labor. If you want the full official preference list from the AEC
it?s here.
A few things that I have written for our campaign on a 5 Star Rating
for negotiating a global agreement on emissions targets and what does
the $100 per barrel oil price have to do with climate change?
Please consider this election as crucial for climate change action.
Vote 1 for the Climate Change Coalition in the Senate from SA.
