New environmental organisation the AEF was launched today in Tenterfield. For more information see the website www.aefweb.info.
I was at the launch. While the official proceedings lasted perhaps 40 minutes the audience was so intrigued by the issues raised it more-or-less refused to move on to the next venue for food, tea and coffee. So the event dragged on for perhaps another hour as AEF spokesperson Kersten Gentle stood amongst a crowd in the same venue where Henry Parkes gave his famous federation speech and answered question after question mostly from local landholders.
I understand that Michael Duffy is interviewing Kersten on radio national at 4pm tomorrow, Monday 6th June 2005.
