***ACTION ALERT FOR BRISBANE***ACTION ALERT FOR BRISBANE***

ON JULY 15TH A SHIP WILL BE ARRIVING IN BRISBANE FROM INDONESIA & 
MALAYSIA FULLY LOADED WITH RAINFOREST TIMBER.

Brisbane Rainforest Action Group (BRAG) are holding an action at the 
docks to protest the importing of rainforest timber and the destruction 
of rainforests.

The action will be held at around 6-6:30am and will consist of a water 
action (kyaks and motorboats intercepting ship to prevent or delay 
docking) and an onboard action (getting on ship to protest).

We have held two such actions in the past (1994/95) and both were very 
succesful and got great media coverage.  With the resolution to boycott 
unethical timber producers coming out of the recent Timber Certification 
Conference actions of this kind are very important.

They are very good fun, very effective and a great way to be introduced 
to environmental direct action.

For info ring Tom on 3875 7227 (work hours).
