Take a look at the list of speakers below.  Genia McCaffery(representing Local Councils) will be the only ‘rose’ amongst the ‘thorns’ yet again.  If those ‘thorns’ were serious about bottlenecks and congestion they would go in search of a sustainable national vision.  We are not going to get sustainability by overscaling the Sydney freight operation.

$5.8 billion will be spent on transport infrastructure in New South Wales over the next 4 years in a quest to reduce congestion, free bottlenecks and attract investment. (more…)

Join the Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance at Penrhyn Wharf (Penrhyn Road Port Botany) to protest the construction of the third container terminal.  Needless consumption, waste and related transportation of goods and waste is the biggest driver of climate change and biodiversity loss.  Spend the morning watching the shorebirds of Penrhyn – including Little Terns – instead of shopping at Westfields.
