WATCH 'marries off' money-hungry polluters

WATCH will be "marrying off" a mining
baroness and money-hungry politician.
You're invited to our wedding of the year!

Did you know that big polluters have handed $3.7 million to the major parties since the last election? And that our Government will give them $7.7 billion in subsidies this year? We must stop the flow of money that is propping up the fossil fuel industry.

So in nine days, Wodonga and Albury Towards Climate Health (WATCH) will join forces with 350.org to host a mock marriage between a mining baroness and a politician to highlight how wedded they are.

WATCH says: “We'll have an award winning local actress playing the bride and you may be surprised at who the other actors are.

“It’s shaping up to be a memorable and hilarious ceremony that will unfold out the front of The Hon Sussan Ley’s office.”

The “wedding on 12.30pm Friday, May 20 starts at 12:30pm in Kiewa St, Albury, and as the festivities will all over within 15 minute, those attending are urged not to be late.

WATCH welcomes everyone to join the ceremony, but asks people to not bring presents, confetti or political placards.

Should it be wet the “wedding” will be held under the eaves next door, but people are encouraged to being an umbrella.
