Mark Butler MP speaks at the Centre opening
Popular local band The Dudleys and visiting Irish gypsy fiddler and comedian Aindrias De Staic entertained the crowd at the opening of the new Semaphore Information Centre and Adelaide Eco Info Exchange on Saturday 6 March.
Kaurna Elder Auntie Josie Agius gave a traditional welcome to Kaurna land and Mark Butler MP praised Australia’s original inhabitants for their knowledge of sustainability and the way they cared for country.
“Indigenous Australians were well aware as so many of us are today of sustainability and the need to care for our planet.
“Every day I am bombarded by emails as part of a campaign being run by climate change deniers.
“This new centre, which will be run by volunteers, will provide information on sustainability, climate change, alternative energies, conservation and zero waste that will help to counter that campaign.
“It has been a long time coming and is a credit to the hard work of volunteers in setting it up and the great financial support they have got from businesses and residents.”
