Friday 29/5/09 ... one day
after a very successful protest was held in Murwillumbah against
the proposed car rally the NSW Minister for State Development, Ian
Macdonald, announced that the NSW government, at the behest of the
Paris-based FIA was going to introduce special legislation to
ensure the event proceeded. Totally incapable of
winning over the local community to their abhorrent dreams, the
organisers have run to the state government to override local
wishes. Contrary to government and
organiser expectations this announcement only hardened the resolve
of local opponents of the rally. The fight will very
definitely go on.
