ESJC ended up being postponed, but Julian had two-cents worth on what MSA might want to say about current gov policy/legislation etc.<br>Maybe worth looking at and expanding on?<br><br>Tim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

<br>I think MSA's position should be that we do not support the package being put before parliament on the basis of:<br>
1 - Too low an overall emissions target<br>2 - Too many subsidies for emitters to "transition", which in reality means delaying change<br>3 - Weak solutions such as Australia's give the green light to countries such as the US endorsing even weaker targets such as Obama's 17.5% (of 2005 levels) by 2020 (which translates to a mere 3% of 1990 levels)<br>
<br>However I think it's a tight call on whether no ETS is better than the crap one we're getting.<br><br>J.<br clear="all"><br><br>--<br>Julian Dane Campbell<br><br>President<br><br>Monash Student Association<br>

Would like to have a short ESJC to tidy up the passing of some money. Thought that the end of the MEG meeting tomorrow/today (thursday) would be appropriate as a lot of people will already be around.<br><br>so...<br><b>3pm Thursday Nov 26th<br>
Activist Space</b><br><br>Anybody unable to make it but wishing to add comments will have a chance as soon as unconfirmed minutes are circulated after the meeting. They'll be confirmed next ESJC.<br><br><u>AGENDA</u><br>
- Amending old minutes to expand $50 expenditure for garden tools to a $65 expenditure.<br>-another money thing I can't remember at present<br>- ? official ESJC/MSA position statements re. ETS, Copenhagen, etc ?<br>- Anything else, bring it up with me before the meeting or raise it at the beginning of esjc.<br>
