We have been trying to get someone from the new NSW Government to attend this next meeting to talk about the wide range of issues that are up in the air in Redfern and Waterloo after the change of government. A couple of weeks back we emailed the Premier and copied in key ministers with relevance to Redfern and Waterloo. We followed this up this week and the only responses we have received was from the new Planning Minister (who acts as Minister for Redfern and Waterloo until the legislation is rescinded) Brad Hazzard and Minister for Family and Community Services, Pru Goward who have both put in an apology.
REDWatch supplied a list of question with our invitation relating to decisions facing the new government regarding Redfern and Waterloo – on the REDWatch website you can see these Questions for New NSW Government.
In the absence of someone attending from the new Government REDWatch will screen the new film “Saving Erko Estate” which is a recent film about the successful 2002 campaign to save Erskineville Housing Estate from a similar re-development to that now planned for Redfern and Waterloo. The cover says “With footage filmed at the time and afterwards, the video shows how and why the fight was won, and why it is important to keep organised. This is a celebration of the victory, and an inspiration to others facing the same issues. It is better to die on your feet than live on bended knees – La Pasionaria”. We are looking at the possibility of community showings of the films “Saving Erko Estate” and “Waterloo” maybe as part of Groundswell.
Copies of the 55 minute DVD are available for $15 from Russ Hermann
