Federal Election Campaign 2004 – put Howard last!
There are three components to our federal election campaign.

1. The website www.fart.fm

We have produced a we site that alerts visitors to the inadequacies with John Howard’s energy and climate change policies.

It highlights the Howard Government’s

Encouragement of the use of polluting fossil fuels like coal
Failure to set long term targets on greenhouse gas reduction
Failure to increase the renewable energy target
Failure to set a target for energy efficiency
Encourage continued coal use through geosequestration – a risky, unproven and expensive technology

FART stands for “Friends All of Renewable Technology”.

2. The “Who Farted video”

We a produced a video that highlights the failure of the Howard energy policy.

The video is base around the concept of greenhouse gas emissions being silent but deadly.

The video is pretty funny and worth a look at.

It is about 2 meg so is best used using broadband or if you are prepared to wait a few minute on a slow connection.

If you like please tell your friends to visit the site and have a look.

3. The “Silent but deadly” cards

Thousand’s of “Silent but Deadly” cards for distribution in marginal electorates that urge voters to put Howard last on their ballot papers.
