Biannca Pace took the role of Chairperson for the Department of Peace Australia (this term having a more universal
application than Ministry for Peace) in March 2005. She first heard of Congressman Kucinich in March of 2002 and
contacted him to congratulate him on his work for peace. He responded and when the Share the Spirit of Peace - Peace
Summit (held at the University of Sydney on 1 March 2003) was being planned in late 2002, suggested to the organisers
that he be invited. At this Sydney Summit co-hosted by the Australian Democrats, Australia's four major political parties
were invited to attend and "share a platform for Peace." |

Forty delegates from 12 countries attended and another step towards peace was taken. Australia was represented by two
