Let the community decide

Join our Campaign to bring back our local councils!

Dear NSW Parliament,

We call on every NSW MP to commit to legislation that allows residents to vote in a binding de-merger plebiscite in any council that has been forced to merge by the Baird Government.

If a majority of residents support their council standing alone, then the law must provide for a council to be reinstated and a de-merger to occur at the soon as possible.

We make this demand because we believe that the community -- residents and local businesses-- not Mike Baird,  should decide the future of their local councils.

    The council mergers are just a grubby developer grab for unlimited power plus a way of neutering local government so Baird can slip WestConnex and rail metroisation through.

    Once again Mike Baird has shown his contempt for the people of NSW by forcing his will on them. Our rights are being eroded with the lockout laws, protest laws and now our most fundamental right, the right to choose our representatives. This benefits the miners and developers who are destroying our environment. I just hope I still have the right to vote at the next state election.
