IN REVIEW: The Inveresk Public Land Grab?

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE ONGOING REVIEW TO DATE

FROM LAUNCESTON PETITIONS: Launceston's Mayor Albert van Zetten, paraphrased, can it seems, "only remember one expression one expression of interest in this land' and it seems they wanted it for nothing. It seems that 'offer' was rejected. ..............  The CITIZEN'S PETITION [LINK] continues to build and awareness continues to grow..............  It's NOT that ratepayers object to the university moving from its current site  to Inveresk, its just the case that people object to subsidising the move in both the short term and into long term ..............  Its been revealed that airport need to make ex gratia payments for services received, so why not universities? ..............  Why should ratepayers bear the cost of income forgone? ..............  Where is/was the community consultation? ..............

There is an unfolding story here with signatures on a petition being collected for a CITY OF LAUNCESTON PUBLIC MEETING under the provisions of the Local Govt., Act 1993 .............. The petition collection is going well but as always with such things it would be good to see many many more signatories as when people hear about 'the petition' they seem very ready to sign. Now is the time to show up and especially so as its being counted upon that we [the people] "will not show up when push comes to shove".
