Action in the Park - an event for single parents and their children living in the Redlands



In February, single parents and their supporters rallied around the country to say NO to Poverty and NO to Newstart.

On Saturday 13 April 2013, rallies will again be held in every major city across Australia in support of single parents and their children who have been affected by cuts to single parent support payments.

Penny and the Greens will be holding an event for single parents in the Redlands on Saturday 13 April 2013. Click on this link to read the flyer If you're a single parent living in the Redlands, we'd love to see you there.

Act now to help the Greens protect the Tarkine!


Minister Tony Burke has just announced that he'll allow open slather for mining in the Tarkine, in areas that even John Howard protected. We have won campaigns like this before, so we know that we need to make this a national issue. Write to your newspaper today by clicking here.
