We have 20,000 leaflets avaialble for distribution.

We have 12000 posters available for distribution. 8000 of these are A3. 4000 are A2.

From Saturday July 7th significant quantities of posters and leaflets will be available for people to pick up themselves from 3 locations

1 Friends Of the Earth 312 Smith Street Collingwood. They will be in the upstairs meeting room call 94198700 if you cant find them
2 New International bookstore at Trades Hall
3 My home - by arrangement for people who live in the South East.

We ask that where possible people pick up stuff themselves.

We are going to need an enormous amount of assistance in publicising this rally if it is to be a success.

We ask you to consider doing any or all of the following

1 Promote the rally on your website
2 Promote the rally on any email lists you can
3 If you have a physical mailout before the rally put a flier in with your newsletter or and write and article about it for your newsletter.
4 Help us to publicly promote the rally

We need lots of people to put up posters and help us to hand out leaflets.

Postering is needed in all locations where people can put posters up. If you take posters and put them up please let us know roughly what areas you are doing. Please note that bill postering is against the Environmental Protection Act. We encourage people to only put posters up in legal spots.
During the week before the rally we intend have a leafletting blitz of inner city train stations. It would be great if a number of organisations had volunteers available for early morning train station leafletting. Please let us know if anyone can help with this

5 Help to promote the Nuclear Free Australia showing of a Hard Rain at Trades Hall on July 26th. We hope that this will create some good momentum to build the rally. We intend to use this film showing to encourage people to build the Hiroshima Day Rally.

David Bradbury - Questions & Answers
Hillel Freedman
Dual Academy Award (Front Line, 1980; Chile: Hasta Cuando?, 1986) nominee producer/director David Bradbury presents:

Twice Academy award nominee and five times AFI winner David Bradbury's latest contribution, A Hard Rain , explores the ‘other side' of the nuclear debate.
New findings show low level radiation may be major cancer cause - scientific papers here.

Governments and most mainstream media are promoting that nuclear is now an attractive alternative to fossil fuels – the magic fix that will save us all from global warming. Nuclear power has taken on a clean and green spin from the low point 20 years ago which saw the Chernobyl meltdown.

Traversing five countries – China, France, UK, Japan and Australia, and using what Bradbury learnt from his previous three nuclear documentaries (Public Enemy Number One, Jabiluka and Blowin' in the Wind), A Hard Rain takes a closer look at the global nuclear industry in its entirety – from the mining of uranium through to the nuclear power plant to the radioactive waste and weapons manufacturing. It exposes the hidden agendas behind this latest push for Australia to go nuclear.

Included are interviews with some of the world's top scientists and environmentalists on the subject such as Dr Rosalie Bertell from Canada, Dr Chris Busby from the UK, and from Australia, Dr Mark Deisendorf (Ex CSIRO) who heads up the Environmental Institute at the University of NSW, Dr Ian Lowe, President of the Australian Conservation Foundation, and Dr Gavin Mudd from the Monash University Engineering Department.

Interviews with traditional owners who have been locked out of genuine consultation with what is happening on their country is also included in this film.

By looking at the experience of countries overseas that have gone nuclear, A Hard Rain debunks some of the myths of the nuclear industry: that nuclear is safe, cheap, health and green with little chance of another Chernobyl happening.

If you want vital and factual information to debate the issue intelligently and overthrow the myths that the nuclear and pro uranium mining lobby has so successfully implanted in the media, in the government and the Labor Party, then this documentary is a must see.
