Greens Senator Janet Rice speaks to a demonstration at Killarney Beach against use of Public Places being dominated by commerical interest

We open with a report on Peter Norman Day commerations at Human Rights Square Melbourne.

We speak to Shane Howard who with other locals blockaded Killlarney Beach down on the South West Coast of Victoria to stop the use of public spaces for commerical interests: in this case race horses being exercised - not a few but at some times over hundred on this small stretch of beach. They have formed the Belfast Coastal Reserve Action Group which is working to protect the Reserve between Warrnambool & Port Fairy from damage caused by Commercial Horse Training. Go to:
