The Peter Spencer Story
Peter Spencer and his family have been farming in Australia for 180 years but their land and livelihood have been sacrificed on the Kyoto altar. Peter has been prevented from clearing vegetation or controlling woody weeds on his land, and his farm is no longer viable. Unable to get compensation in the courts, Peter is now into day 40 of a hunger strike. And unable to pay his mortgage, he is also about to lose his property. He needs the help of all fair minded Australians.
