Don't forget! This Saturday at 1pm.
This will be a huge rally uniting all of Sydney to send a big message: we don't want this pointless polluting toll road scam!
Confirmed Speakers include:
- Mehreen Faruqi: Greens MLC NSW
- Jamie Parker: NSW Member for Balmain & Rozelle Resident
- Mary Court: Penrith Valley Community Unions
- Davie MacDonald: Convenor of STOP Western Harbor Tunnel and Beaches Link
- Pauline Lockie: WAG Co-founder & Inner West Council Councillor
- John Lozano: Inner West Activist
(NSW Labor Leader Luke Foley and Inner West Council Mayor Darcy Byrne were invited but unable to attend)
The entire Balmain peninsula is under sustained attack from Berejiklian’s NSW Government. The Rozelle Interchange, the Iron Cove Tunnel and the Western Harbour Tunnel (WHT) means the compulsory acquisition and demolition of homes, businesses and parks including Yuralbin and part of King George Park, as well as the Balmain Leagues Club.
The WHT will release highly toxic sediments including PCBs throughout the harbour and much of the foreshore will be acquired for drying of the sludge. The Dawn Fraser Pool will become unsafe for swimming for years.
The round the clock dredging of toxic sludge will rob Balmain and Rozelle residents of sleep as will the 24/7 operation of the proposed Concrete Batching Plant.
Subsidence due to tunnelling will cause structural damage to homes in Leichhardt, Lilyfield, Rozelle, Annandale, Balmain and Birchgrove. Heavy trucks and trailers operating continuously in local streets removing tunnel spoil will make sleep impossible.
And for what?
Bero benefit to Sydney motorists! 40 years of tolls punishing Western Sydney. A huge windfall for the multinational toll companies, while the Anzac Bridge is still gridlocked, Victoria Road and the Iron Cove Bridge at a standstill. Premature deaths due to the tonnes of imported cancer-causing diesel exhaust pumped into Rozelle from the four unfiltered stacks. Thanks Gladys. Nice one.
And to top it off? A $45 billion bill and counting! Money just poured down the drain!
WHEN: April 14, 2018 at 1pm – 4pm
