Stand up for Australian animals and activists against ‘ag-gag’ laws #NoAgGag [#geekgirl]
Australia info session:
Ag-gag laws are designed to deter activists and journalists from documenting the suffering of animals on factory farms. In June 2015, a Senate Committee recommended that WA Senator Chris Back’s Criminal Code Amendment (Animal Protection) Bill be passed with a minor change. If passed, it means that investigators of animal cruelty will be made criminals while the perpetrators of that cruelty will be protected. It will obscure consumers’ understanding of where their food comes from. Join us to learn more about ag-gag and oppose this backward Bill. A short Q&A session will follow the speeches. Saturday, August 8 at 11:00am – 12:30pm
Sydney Town Hall 483 George St, Sydney, Australia 2000 Guest speakers: 1. Emmanuel Giuffre, Voiceless Legal Counsel 2. Michael Walsh, member of Animal Justice Party 3. Dr Mehreen Faruqi, NSW Greens MP and Animal Welfare spokesperson
In the meantime sign the petition to stop AgGag Laws in Australia.
