CANDIDATES’ FORUM
Every election – national, state and local government – CANWin presents a Candidates’ Forum where each candidate is given the opportunity to present what they see as important election issues. They are also given notice of questions in advance, and are then asked to answer some of those questions. The forum is organised in a very orderly manner, and all candidates are assured equal time and opportunity.
Four Candidates have been invited to attend the forum: Alan Hay, Nationals; Stephen Jones, Labor; Peter Moran, Greens & Juliet Arkwright, Liberal. We are hoping they will all attend.
Your Questions to the candidates are invited, and need to be received by Sunday, 1st August – similar questions may be collated. Please email them to: Bob Thomas bobuc2@bigpond.net.au
Friday 6th August, 2010

WALK AGAINST WARMING
In past years, CANWin has organised a local Walk Against Warming. However, this year, with the issue having reached a critical point, we have chosen to join with other groups and individuals in Sydney to create a large gathering of solidarity on climate change action.
The Sydney event, organised by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, will be starting at 12 Midday in Belmore Park (next to Central Station). “Due to the significance of this year with the Federal election, we want the march to be the biggest yet, and to do this, we are asking for your help. Together, we will remind government that we’re doing our bit. We’re working hard to reduce greenhouse pollution. We’re saving water and energy. We’re buying greenpower. We’re forming Climate Action groups. Its time for the Government to do their bit.”
Those wishing to gather under the CANWin banner in Sydney should meet the train at Moss Vale, Bowral or Mittagong Stations. Train departs Moss Vale/Bowral/Mittagong at 9.22/9.30/9.34 and arrives Central at 11.25.
The return train departs Central at 4.07 and arrives Mittagong/Bowral/Moss Vale at 6.02/6.07/6.15.
Contact David Tranter: dh.tranter@bigpond.com to let him know you will be joining the group and to receive any updates.

Six CANWin Committee members have registered for this important forum and workshop,
which will set the foundation for our Shire’s future through to 2031. No doubt other CANWin
members and members of like-minded groups have also registered. Together, we hope to
ensure that principles such as action on climate change, protection of our environment,
building a resilient and sustainable and just community, will form the basis of all decisions.

The Empire Cinema in Bowral is showing Food Inc for a very short time.
From the cinema’s website:
The current method of raw food production is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since the 1950s. The production of food overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand years prior. Controlled primarily by a handful of multinational corporations, the global food production business – with an emphasis on the business – has as its unwritten goals production of large quantities of food at low direct inputs (most often subsidized) resulting in enormous profits, which in turn results in greater control of the global supply of food sources within these few companies. Health and safety (of the food itself, of the animals produced themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines, and of the consumers actually eating the food) are often overlooked by the companies, and are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences.
Main cast: Gary Hirshberg, Michael Pollan, Troy Roush, Joel Salatin
Official website: Visit the website (includes trailer)
Session times:
Thursday 1/7, Friday 2/7, Saturday 3/7, Sunday 4/7, Monday 5/7, Tuesday 6/7 & Wednesday 7/7 at 7.45pm
