Read more on Jamie's record to save the Powerhouse
Dear Premier,
I am writing to strongly protest against the sale of the Powerhouse building in Ultimo to property developers. This building is an integral part of Sydney’s unique landscape and should be kept for the public to enjoy.
The Powerhouse Museum is an important part of the city’s cultural life, and to see the building converted into apartments and taken away from the community is a disaster for all Australians.
Nationally significant buildings should be kept in public hands to ensure their preservation and long-term public use, rather than sold off to the highest bidder.
Yours sincerely,

In fact, the powerhouse should be complimented with a second museum in Western Sydney, rather than as an alternative
It concerns me that the motivation for this is the desire to sell the current site for development, not the aim of increasing cultural outlets generally in the state and in Parramatta.
Once land has been sold to private interests, it is gone from the public. I oppose this.
Anyone seen Democracy lately? She appears severely battered and bruised.
Have our communities ever in the past been assaulted so mercilessly and relentlessly by those who are supposed to represent us?
