“I’m afraid its more of the same, business as usual, despite the terrible state of Victoria’s northern rivers, and increased threats from climate change” said Louis Delacretaz, Convenor of the Country Greens Victoria Network at their Annual General Meeting on Sunday 7th December at Mooroolbark Community Centre.

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss our submission with you,

I thought I would use my 20minutes to focus on the impact on flora and fauna.

although I would ask you to also note that we are also very concerned with social and economic impacts of the project, the production of greenhouse gases during construction and operation

In fact we would ask that energy for the operation of the pipeline be sourced solely from renewable sources (not offsets)

Dear Ms Mitchell, 

I write to express our grave concerns with the Sugarloaf Interconnector Pipeline project.

Thank you & congratulations.

In the last fortnight there has been  huge flurry of emails to the Liberal, National and DLP MPs expressing concern about the amendments proposed to Victoria's Freedom of Information legislation. 

Changes that would have allowed active citizens to be banned from making applications if they made "repeated applications" under FOI. 

Last Thursday in the Upper House, the Greens, Liberals and Nationals combined to vote against the bill and defeated it.
