Fair Trade
I remember being struck by whole towns and cities in the UK and Europe declaring themselves as Fair Trade, with plenty of publicity. I don't think it was that long ago when Fair Trade was unpublicised and more expensive in Australia. Is that still the case? Are there any cities or towns in Australia that have taken a public Fair Trade stance?

Yes, Adelaide, South Australia. The energetic and beautiful justice-oriented activist and uni student, Deanna Howland, and her friend whose name I've forgotten (:-() gathered together a convincing argument and all their courage, and made a presentation to the City Council. Stephen Yarwood was particularly supportive.

I think Fremantle may be, as well.
