Last month a delegation of Redfern-Waterloo residents handed
a letter to the Premier inviting State Cabinet to visit our area. The occasion
was the State Cabinet’s meeting at the Ashfield Town Hall
to engage in a process of consultation with local people.
The South Sydney Herald strongly supports the right of Redfern
and Waterloo
residents to have the same level of consultation as our Ashfield neighbours.
A spokesperson for the Premier has provided us with the
following reply to our invitation:
“The NSW Cabinet is committed to visiting suburban, regional
and rural centres across NSW. The schedule for future suburban Cabinet meetings
has not been finalised and the invitation extended to the Premier and Cabinet
will remain under active consideration for future meetings.”
We will ensure we keep you informed about the outcome of this
invitation.
