About 60 people gathered in Shepparton, northern Victoria, just recently as part of a nationwide protest about the Queensland State Government's blindness to the science illustrating why it should stand behind the health and wellbeing of trans kids.

In just eight days, four people, Ren Slade, Georgina Poort, Jacq Kiss and Nicole Wells, went from little more than an idea to the reality of a rally of about 60 people.

Among the speakers were the parent of a trans person and a founding member of "Transcend Australia", Jo Foster; a trans young person and music performer, Sammi Louise, AKA Lou Baby; and a City of Greater Shepparton councillor, Cr Sam Spinks.

The master of ceremonies for the event was Ren Slade, a member of "AusPATH", and Ren encouraged people to support "Project 491".

She thanked Elizabeth Capp, the head of campus at Shepparton's "La Trobe University" for allowing the group to use the breezeway facing Shepparton's North St for the gathering.

Also, she thanked "Goulburn Valley Pride" for its logistical support and Brad from "Corton Audio".

The Research Director of the Melbourne-based National Centre for Climate Restoration (Breakthrough), David Spratt, has written the stunning and timely report: "Collision Course: 3-degrees of warming & humanity's future".

David has said: "We’re on track for a 3°C hotter world—unprecedented heat, rising seas drowning cities, food system collapse, and societal instability. This future is fast approaching, with catastrophic risks beyond anything humanity has faced".

Former Chair of the Australian Coal Association, Ian Dunlop, has said: "There is a chasm in outlook between the global climate policy-making elite with their focus on distant goals and slow, non-disruptive change, and activists and key researchers who see the world hurtling towards climate breakdown and social collapse.

The report is essential reading.
