ABC INTERVIEW

This morning John did an interview on local ABC radio. McCubbin gave a very long introduction to the issue, followed by John, who emphasized the unfairness of the shire's dealings with landowners over the years, of the poor consultation and of the likelihood that any compensation would only be a pitance, as it has been in the past. McCubbin made a long response which included the old chestnut 'we need to avoid the potentiality of a 14,000 allotment Surfer's Pardise type development'. It was very typical of our local consensus style media - very much slanted toward the establishment. Les at the Gippsland TImes is the closest we've come to balance, but unfortunately he's gone. Nevertheless I think we need to keep getting the message out - as John did - that the shire is not to be trusted on account of what's gone on in the past, including the corruption.

2008 FINAL DRAFT VICTORIAN COASTAL STRATEGY

This is the final draft of the Coastal Strategy now open to submission from the public, it talks about inappropriate subdivisions which is suppose to be us and defining boundaries. Once again a sign that the labour government has labelled our properties "inappropriate" I urge everyone to write an objection...
