There are 17 days left for you to make your submission to the NDT on the Northern Development Taskforce Site Evaluation Report
BY POST -It must be there by 5.00pm on the 11th November. Now we assume that means delivered, so anyone who lives on the Dampier Peninsula or Gourdon Bay will need to wait for the mail run or drive into Broome to post the submission at the Post Office, that could be up to 200km on a mostly dirt road. But that’s ok you do it all the time. Let’s say 4 days from Broome Post Office to the NDT in Perth. That means it has to be posted on Friday 7th November. You have thirteen days to write your submission. We also assume that submissions must be in the form of text on paper, it would be helpful if we could, fax, send disks or other forms of digital storage, film and so on. Please, if you know people who don’t have access to the internet, “bring them over and tell them what’s going on.” Quote Blu eye

ACTION OF THE DAY
A MAJOR national bank has been forced to remove more than 100 misleading out of order signs from its ATMs after being targeted by anti-coal activists.
A MAJOR national bank has been forced to remove more than 100 misleading out of order signs from its ATMs after being targeted by anti-coal activists.
A score of ANZ Banking Group machines sprawled across six capital cities were plastered with "out of order" signs on Sunday after campaigners launched their latest bid to draw attention to the bank's funding of the coal industry.

We are more than perturbed about the ridiculous 28 day timeframe for this period of public comment. The first day was taken up by the launch, press conference and Premier Barnett’s preference, from Perth. No consideration has been given to the people that this decision affects the most, that they might actually have an opinion. They may well have been consulted. But now they have an opportunity to comment on the proposal in their own way and for the public record. Perhaps Carol Martin and Colin Barnett don’t care about what people think. We do. So any effort made to assist people would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWe didn’t mention that the Report’s 12 appendices alone total approximately 1500 pages. How many months of research and people and money and meetings did it take to get to this point? And now we have public comment for a period of days?
ReplyDeleteIt is an outrageous timeframe but in good faith we must submit – can we afford not to?
