A proposal by the NSW Government to sell off  140 farm lot is gainging momentum despite massive opposition by the school and the local community.

The Farm run by Staff and students of Hurlstone Agricultural High School,  is unique in NSW. There is nothing to compare it to as an educational resource.  It has been used to teach farming for over a century.

The NSW Government  want to carve it up and sell it off to developers.

I want to know why three out of four elected labor MP’s from this area are supporting the sale.  Why are these elected officials not representing the clear wishes of their constituency but serving the will of the party.

Mr Rees: this resource belongs to the people of NSW  .

If you want to get more information on getting behind the move to stop the sale., see the link(s) below.   Also  –  have your say. leave your comments here. link to this post from your blogs and  get the discussion going. time is running out.
