06 Nov 2007 Recipient:6123Ob11 REF:AACMCAQ1 Y/R: EP/227 TO: The Mayor and Councillors cc Mosman Parents MOSMAN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL Interested Parties Madam Mayor & Councillors DRAFT QUESTION IN COUNCIL RE EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME My name is Peter AXTENS. I am a Lawyer who has lived in Mosman much of my life. I am the Voluntary Legal Compliance Officer for the "Kids Safe-at-Sport Network [KSAS-Au]". I have been following the NSW Greenhouse Gas Reduction Scheme [GGAS (sic)] since it was released as a Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Trading (including Carbon-Offsets) Scheme from 01 Jan 2003. I have reviewed a substantial amount of material including 1 the GGAS Web-site and affiliated web-sites {A} 2 the "Clean Energy for Eternity" information material {B} distributed on the Thu 25 Oct 2007 and 3 numerous newspaper articles including the "Carbon {C} Planet" Carbon Footprint analysis of the RFL Grand Final in the Daily Telegraph on 01 Oct 2007 The article states that event produced 2,081 Tonnes of Carbon that requires Carbon-Offsets Whilst I am fully supportive of the CEFE-Mosman initiative "50/50 by 2020", I am currently of the opinion that there is a gross Fraudulent Misrepresentation taking place on Australian Citizens to further the interests of International Business and not the Mosman Community. Here is a link to the "Climate Friendly" web site so you can calculate how many carbon offsets to purchase Here is the link on that web-site that confirms that "Climate Friendly" purchases "Gold Standard Credits" with your money in Switzerland These Gold Standard Credits can only by traded in London because only London has the only Emission Trading Scheme The "Gold Standard" is based in Basle Switzerland Switzerland is the only European Country that is not a member of the European Economic Community [EEC] and still has Swiss Francs not Euros The Banks have to make their Currency Exchange Margins don't they - Aus Dollar to Swiss Francs to Euro and back again !! My question to the Council is: Does this Council and Councillors want to be recorded in History as a Council that propelled its Citizens and Youth into the "Abyss of Perpetual Debt" Or does this Council want to be recorded for Eternity as the men and women who first threw off "The Yoke of Economic Servitude to the International Bankers" ?
