128+ Signatures Smashed! We have taken the fight straight to Federal Ministers and Council.

Dear Supporters,

Thank you all so much for your incredible support. In roughly 24 hours since launching, our community campaign has completely taken off, surging past 128+ verified signatures!
We are moving at an extreme pace and refuse to let the Federal Government quietly execute this property developer "fire sale."

Here is a major update on the massive actions we have taken on the ground over the last 24 hours:

Taking the Fight to the Top: We have formally dispatched an authoritative Executive Briefing directly to Richard Marles MP (Minister for Defence), Senator Katy Gallagher (Minister for Finance), and Pat Conroy MP (Minister for Defence Industry). We have put them on notice regarding the severe national security and youth welfare fallout unique to Dundas and surrounds.

Formal Senate Inquiry Submission: We have formally lodged our data-backed case as a formal submission to the Senate Standing Committee Inquiry into the Management of Defence Estate Assets. Our facts regarding the eviction of HQ 8th Brigade, 8 OSU, 5 CSSB, and our 200 youth cadets are now officially part of the parliamentary record.

The Council Blockade Activated: We have officially briefed all 15 City of Parramatta Councillors demanding a pre-emptive declaration to refuse any future residential re-zoning for the Timor Barracks land. If we strip the site's high-density developer value, the Commonwealth's financial profit incentive completely dies. A request to address the upcoming council public forum has been submitted.

The RSL and Mayoral Working Group: I have officially accepted an invitation to join the new regional working group spearheaded by North Ryde RSL Sub-Branch President Peter Colthorpe and Ryde Mayor Trenton Brown to coordinate a joint defense of our local cadets and reserve infrastructure.

Media Wheels Turning: Former NSW Police Minister and current Castle Hill RSL Board Director David Elliott has been fully briefed and is preparing to elevate this specific Cadet eviction crisis onto 2GB talkback radio to broadcast our message Sydney-wide.

How you can help right now: Our next goal is to hit 200 signatures by tonight. Please take 10 seconds to copy our petition link and email, text, or post it to your family, friends, and local community groups:

The young men and women of 322 Squadron, 204 Army Cadets, and our frontline Army Reservists have always stood ready when our community needed them. Now, it's our turn to stand up for them.

Thank you for standing with us.!

Warm regards,
