WE NEED YOUR HELP

The Capital City Citizens' Committee is firmly of the view that the current City of Perth Act is fatally-flawed and a missed opportunity to create a great capital city for Western Australia. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Write, email, phone or lobby your local Member of the Legislative Assembly and Members of the Legislative Council. You can find their names and contact details at http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/parliament/memblist.nsf/WebCurrMembElectorate Just type the name of your suburb or your postcode into the 'search' box and click on the 'Search' button.

Feel free to use information on this blog to help you make the case.

Thank you all.

Bringing You Up To Date

Nationals Stick To Their Principles

To their credit, the National's have confirmed they will continue their principled opposition to forced amalgamations and oppose the current City of Perth Bill. http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/on-parliamentary-record.html; http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/bad-day-for-barnett.html













Liberal Fail

 Liberal MLC Mark Lewis tried to find 'reasons' why country people should support the City of Perth Bill - but, as Cecilia Brooke eloquently points out, he failed dismally.



















No Consultation

 As has been pointed out elsewhere (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/porkies-in-parliament.html; http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/simpson-nonsense-and-inconsistency-again.html), there has been no effective consultation with affected communities. 

 As Jane Boxall points out (West Australian, 6th July, 2015), this lack of consultation extends to the aboriginal community for whom much of the area affected by the City of Perth Bill has special significance.
