Antinuclear

Dinner 29 August: meet Mr Naoto Kan, former P.M. of Japan

The Australian Conservation Foundation and the Medical Association for the Prevention of War invite you to a very special evening with Mr Naoto Kan.

Mr Kan was Prime Minister of Japan when the Fukushima nuclear reactor crisis began in March 2011. He was forced to consider a full scale evacuation of Tokyo in response to the unfolding emergency and subsequently made the decision to shut down all of Japan’s nuclear reactors.

Since the meltdown Mr Kan has withdrawn his previous support for nuclear power and now strongly supports an energy future that is renewable, not radioactive.

In October 2011 it was formally confirmed that Australian uranium was fuelling the failed Fukushima reactor complex at the time of the accident.

We are pleased to have the unique opportunity to welcome Mr Kan in Melbourne for a just a few hours at the very end of his Australian tour.

Please join us to  hear Mr Kan speak on his experience of the Fukushima crisis and reflections on subsequent energy policy. There will be the opportunity for mingling and discussion surrounded by the beautiful Flagstaff Gardens.

Where: City of Melbourne Bowls Club Lounge, Flagstaff Gardens, Dudley St, West Melbourne
When: Friday 29^th August, 7pm-9.30pm. Mr Kan will speak at 8pm.
Cost: $60 per head includes finger food buffet. Drinks at bar prices.
All funds raised will be dedicated towards funding Mr Kan’s Australian speaking tour.
RSVP by Wednesday 27th August at www.acfonline.org.au/naotokan
