Let McDonalds Know! Parks Are For People: barbeque outside McDonalds near the university on NSW. 10 Barket Street Kingsford, Tuesday March 7, noon - 1pm.

Following numerous requests from local residents and members of the general public, the building wokrers union, the CFMEU has placed an interim green ban on the proposed construction of a McDonalds fast-food outler at an entrance to Centennial Park.

Sydney is chock-a-block with McDonalds outlets - there is no need for them to start encroaching on public space.

To raise public awareness of the issue a free lunch is being organised outside the closest McDonalds outlet to the propsed site.

Have a nice luncg, hear what it's all about and send tghe message loud and clear to McDonalds.
