ALERT fights Australian scheme to silence eco-debates

This is a plan that needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Hoping for an asteroid...

If the Tony Abbott government in Australia has its way, it will soon be illegal to organize a consumer boycott of corporations that destroy or degrade the environment.

ALERT is leading efforts to counter this ill-advised scheme.  Please see this brief article and our press release.

The government's move is being decried both by conservationists and free-speech advocates.

Suppressing debate and public discourse is never a good idea.  Let's hope this idea goes extinct quickly.
