Labor backed Windsor Hotel sham – The Age, 28 April

ALP state government MPs and senior staff in the planning department discussed the initial strategy to refuse the Windsor re-development, the Age revealed today.  When the infamous leaked email first became public, the Premier and the Minister swore that the fake public consultation plan was just the concoction of a junior advisor. It’s a tragedy for democracy when neither the government nor the department can be trusted to deal fairly, transparently and accountably with the community.
