I have never seen Newcastle and Hunter people so angry! 1269 people have signed this petition, 300 have attended a meeting Shine The Light in Newcastle Town Hall, almost 500 from combined groups went to a rainy day rally in Civic Park, and a Better Planning charter has been launched at Wesley Hall with 250 people and signed by the majority of candidates in the by-elections. Tonight at 7.30, ABC Statewide reports on ICAC, the by elections, and the twin related issues of the rail cut without a replacement plan for light rail on Dec 26, and the doubling of the heights on three blocks in the Old Town by the State on land recently bought by the State. Insider development. Premier Baird is ignoring by Newcastle's 2012 Local Environment Plan! Watch Stateline and then contact the Premier about your view on this paper bag led "policy transaction"! https://www.nsw.gov.au/your-government/contact-premier-new-south-wales
