NSW Power Sell-off delayed!

The legislation to sell our power assets has been delayed again, giving us another chance to let our parliamentarians know how we feel about electricity privitisation. Blue Mountains local member, Phil Koperberg, has been quoted in a couple of media articles saying both that he will vote against the sale and that he has not yet decided. What is clear is that he is relaying our concerns and listening to the mountains community.

We have had a big impact with this campaign and with just one more concerted effort, this shocking plan to privatise our electricity can be stopped.

The Sun Herald: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/power-sale-delay-likely-in-face-of-defeat/2008/06/14/1213321682789.html.
The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23869287-5013945,00.html

So, now is our opportunity to talk to friends and family in the Blue Mountains about electricity privatisation and urge them to contact Mr Koperberg's office. It would also be great to thank Mr Koperberg for his efforts so far to raise our concerns with his colleagues in parliament and in the media.
