Upcoming speakers at REG monthly meetings

We have two really excellent speakers at our next 2 monthly meetings.

June Meeting – Jobs, Growth and the Budget: What would a Green economy look like?

Ben Spies-Butcher will discuss what sort of jobs growth we are seeing, and what we could see in a shift to a ‘wellbeing’ rather than ‘growth’ orientated economy, and what role public spending plays in that.

Ben Spies-Butcher is  Co-convenor of the Australian Greens and lecturer in Economy and Society at Macquarie University.  He has a PhD in Economics and has worked in the non-government sector on issues of human rights. His research focuses on the economics and politics of social and environmental policy, and political participation.

Ryde Epping Greens – calling for community consultation

Shaun and Jill talking to residents in Cox's RoadOn Saturday May 11th Ryde Epping Greens held a stall at the Cox’s Road shopping center calling for more community consultation over the proposed Urban Activation Precinct at North Ryde. Local residents where really interested to see pictures of what the proposed towers would look like. Most were concerned about the impact of 31 storey high developments in this mainly single storey residential area. It was an interesting morning – so much so that we completely ran out of leaflets to give out.

Well done to Shaun and Jill pictured with residents and to Lindsay, Lynn, Jimmy and Jon who were also on the stall.
