The legislation to enable the rally to proceed was introduced to Parliament last week and will be voted on Tuesday 23/6/09.
The legislation is appalling! It gives the rally organisers a free run to do whatever they want.
The rally legislation:
- provides inappropriate protection to the
organisers and state and local government authorities in relation to their
activities.
- removes protections under numerous state laws.
- overrides Plans of Management for Crown Reserves
- removes common law rights by excluding the
actions of the promoters and local authorities
- removes the opportunity for local residents to
have input into the approval process and conditions that might be attached
to the event.
- allows several occurrences of the event prior to
any review despite a reported assurance given by the Minister to local
Mayors that it would be reviewed after one event.
