Peter Spencer went on a hunger strike for 52 days sitting 10 metres up a pole on his property in Shannon's Flat, New South Wales from 11/23/09 to the 1/13/10. He survived on water and supplements. He wants the Federal Government to compensate farmers for the land it had grabbed to create a "carbon sink", in order to fulfill its obligation to the Kyoto Protocol of carbon emissions reduction.
