		<description><![CDATA[
PAST EVENT
FRIDAY 22nd January, 7.30pm, Wonthaggi Town Hall.

A GREAT time was had by around 250 people who attended the Watershed fundraiser show, &#8220;Bugger the Polar Bears - THIS IS SERIOUS&#8221;. As well as being hilariously funny, there was a fair bit of educational content as well.

		<title>Leafletting the banks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have now had a response of sorts from Westpac and NAB. As expected, they have not addressed many of our concerns, and they have relied on the State Government&#8217;s poorly scoped and inadequate EES. Stay tuned for more on this!
