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.

    Gloss is fast coming off like crap cheap Christmas decoration. Halo effect may end up choking him. Has Julia distanced herself from her bro yet?

    Total disregard of the wishes and informed advice of the people. Arrogant dictatorship replaces democratic service under every “entitled” Liberal government, the puppets of rich-men and the exploiting capitalist 1-5% of our population. Not jobs and growth but greed and graft is the Liberal manifesto.

    They may or may not have been my elected Councillors but regardless of that they were ‘elected’ by the community to represent us at a local level so who said Mr Mike Baird could come in and change it? I didn’t or wasn’t asked to vote on this change – who would agree to it???

    Democracy has been scrapped by Baird on so many issues. I wholly agree with this petition.

    I am fortunate as my Council has been spared – for now. But I strongly oppose forced mergers.
