Roz Hansen, author of the Metro Strategy defending her position.
Most of us have made it crystal clear that we don't agree with her vision for Melbourne and now we have to make sure that we are listened to. We will get another chance to comment on the next round, but we want to make sure that the next document has changed according to our wishes.

THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS - 2009 NOT 1066
The Battle of Hastings continues with the State Government giving $20million of our taxpayers hard earned cash for yet another study by the Port of Hastings Authority, trying to justify building a giant container Port . Hard to believe really when you read reports of shipping companies falling on hard times with not enough work to keep them in the water. See Time Magazine January 12, 09 Page 40 ' IN THE DOLDRUMS . Falling trade and lack of credit are driving the world's shipping industry into desperate straits '.
Incidentally as could be expected the timing for this announcement was impeccable - just before Christmas.

Hastings: Haste makes waste !
Catherine Manning President of the Southern Victoria Community Action Group Inc.
One advantage of the global economic crisis is that it forces us to re-evaluate what is really important. The realisation that we can do without many of the imported, useless gadgets and 'plastic crap' is continuing to have a negative impact on our economy but at the same time, our planet can really do with a break from the impacts of rampant consumption.

July 6 - Moonee Ponds - ClockTower Hall
Planning Backlash meeting. Clocktower. Mooney Ponds
Melbourne 6 July 2008
I am most honoured to have been invited to be back in your beautiful city But I am very concerned regarding just how long it will remain beautiful. It appears that here, as in NSW there are politicians and bureaucrats who are doing their utmost to destroy our unique Australian way of life. In every society there seems to be a group of people who can be best described as dictatorial meddlers.
