SHAME: Baird Government refuses heritage listing for Sirius building
G'Day to all our Supporters & Friends. Just when you thought that this State Liberal Government couldn't stoop any lower than when they announced without consultation of the public and social housing tenants in Millers Point, Dawes Point and The Rocks on the 19th March 2014 that all tenants would be forced out of their homes and made to live elsewhere.Well its deja vu for our frightened elderly and vulnerable tenants that are still residing in the Sirius Building in The Rocks!
This callous Liberal Premier, his Ministers and their bureaucrats put out a media release this morning, Sunday 31st July 2016 that the Sirius Building would not be "Heritage Listed"!!!
Worse was to greet these vulnerable tenants on this Sunday morning!
as if the media release, which they knew nothing about wasn't
enough, the dark shadow of fear and threat descended on their homes with
the Department of FACS "Relocation Officer/s" knocking persistently on their doors at 9:00am!
Those who opened their doors where informed unpolitely that the building will not be heritage listed and that they will have to "Get OUT".
It's the 19th March 2014 all over. Hasn't this government
indeed learnt anything from the mishandled fiasco that occurred back
then? These uncompassionate and dictatorial approaches can only lead to
suicides, deaths and hospitalisations.
IS THIS WHAT THIS GOVERNMENT WAS ELECTED TO DO! FOR THE PEOPLE? OF THE PEOPLE? BY THE PEOPLE?
SHAME!!!
Barney Gardner, on behalf of the Millers Point, Dawes Point & Rocks Public Housing Tenants Group
