Martindale Hall in Mintaro, South Australia, was a gift to the people from the Mortlock family.  The State Government is now promoting an 'unsolicited bid' to sell the Hall, out buildings and surrounding land to a private consortium.  Their proposal is to privatise what is now a publicly owned Conservation Park to create an exclusive luxury resort.  If this sale is allowed to occur the people of South Australia will lose the benefit of what was gifted to them for the private enjoyment of a few.  In public forums, online commentary and social media, the public have spoken out strongly against this proposal.  We call on the Government to reject the proposal now and keep Martindale Hall in public ownership.
