Canberra Update
I am still waiting to talk to a pollie, but I am having fun.. Today I got to watch question time, I must say I wish labour would have a little more backbone and spend more of there time supporting there positions rather then attacking the government. The Liberal party seem so so much better at using question time to there advantage. Tonight I went to a climate change forum, which was quite interesting. I got the feeling that Peter Garrett wanted to offer more then he could as a Labour member. The Democrat’s and Green’s were very aware and good on the issue and the Liberal’s were entirely absent from the forum on Climate Change, which was not very suprising to anyone.
Tonight Micah Challenge put on a great cocktail evening which unfortunately few of the politician’s stayed long enough at to here a very inspirational figure from Rwanda speech about the Millennium Development Goal’s poverty, transparency and reconciliation speech. It certainly reminded me that my work on poverty reduction ain’t over.
