MAY DAY, MAY DAY
ALL HANDS ON DECK PLEASE
WE ARE SINKING!
(1) Shocking News from Parliament
THE LABOR STACKED RESOLUTION COMMITTEE has put a gun at the Opposition's head
"FIND A COMPROMISE OR GO TO ELECTION"
It seems the Opposition are not ready for an election so have agreed to compromise (details will be provided when available).
PLEASE EMAIL THE LIBERAL AND NATIONAL MPs AND URGE THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THIS WHEN IT COMES TO PARLIAMENT AGAIN.
The Greens and DLP will vote against it.
Don't let the Government push through this terrible Bill - it takes away ours and councils power and gives it to the Minister.
The names and email addresses are on the MarvellousMelbourne website

* Development Assessment Committees take planning decisions away from Councils and communities, and are supported by the development industry
THE GOVERNMENT HAS RUSHED THROUGH THE DACs BILL YESTERDAY IN THE LOWER HOUSE, AND TODAY WILL BE THE UPPER HOUSE.
We thought this Bill would not come back until the next sitting of Parliament.
Madden and Brumby are so keen to push developers into the Activity Centres that it has been rushed through. Can't bear to think what they are going to do to our Centres. We will have no say at all.
THIS IS A BAD DAY FOR US ALL: DEMOCRACY GONE
