A QUICK REPORT ON THE PETITION CAMPAIGN IN ADELAIDE:

WE HAVE COLLECTED ABOUT 360 SIGNATURES FROM THE PEOPLE OF ADELAIDE - NOT 
A BAD RESULT FOR  4 HOURS WORKS - AND SUBSEQUENTLY SENT TO THE UN

AND NOT SIGNED ON THAT DAY. BUT WE'LL KEEP ON TRYING TO GET AS MANY 
SIGNATURE AS POSSIBLE. FULL REPORT IN PREPARATION AND WOULD BE SEND 
TO THE NET LATER. - U NE OO.(GRASS-ROOTS CAMPAIGN IS  TEDIOUS)
