Why aren’t we inviting the Opposition?
We get asked this a lot, so here’s the honest answer:
We haven’t formally invited the Opposition to our events. They already know what’s happening here. Many have walked these roads with us in the past and publicly stated they oppose this project.
Both Melissa Horne MP and Tim Watts MP have publicly declared their opposition to this project. That matters. It shows that even some within both state and federal government understand how wrong this is.
But the reality is—who actually has the power to stop it?
Right now, the Victorian Government holds that power. And the buck stops with Jacinta Allan, the Premier. She has the authority to step in and stop this project—but so far, the government has made it clear they plan to push ahead and complete it by 2026.
That’s why our focus is on those in government today. They’re the ones who can make the decision to stop it.
This isn’t about party politics. It’s about protecting our community, our history, and our future.
