March 16th @ 6:30 pm, Sydney Town Hall
Admission Free

Following the groundswell of public outrage over the Australian government's handling of the WikiLeaks cables, this public forum will ignite momentum to break official Australia's silence on its responsibilities on the right of free speech, and on the right of Australian citizens to be protected by their government.
It will also highlight citizens' responsibilities to call to account those who deceive and go to war in our name.

These rights are exemplified in the disclosures by Wikileaks, whose founder, Julian Assange, is Australian, and whose human rights are currently under grave threat.

The meeting will seek to identify the steps which an engaged public can take in promoting a new order of openness and justice in the conduct of politics and of journalism.
