Anti-corruption????

We know an election is coming when Brumby announces he will set up an anti-corruption committee (mind you not for 18 months) but he still won't let Peta Duke appear before the Upper House committee investigating the Windsor Hotel scandal.
What will the committee do now - have her arrested for contempt of Parliament?

A CHORUS of disapproval has met the destruction of Frankston bushland and its flora and fauna to make way for the controversial $760 million Peninsula Link freeway.

Bulldozers have cleared bushland between Skye and Robinsons roads, parallel to McClelland Drive, which is known as sectionC by Abigroup, the construction partner of road building consortium Southern Way.

News re the Supreme Court Judgement on Bastion Point versus Madden

The judgement of Friends of Mallacoota vs Minister for Planning and Anor was handed down on 27 May 2010 by Justice Osborn at the Supreme Court of Victoria.

Whilst the outcome was not in our favour, we feel we won a moral victory on numerous grounds. The Justice found that there was no evidence that the Panel's assessment was other than a careful, fair and balanced evaluation.
