Karyn Brown, Waterloo public housing tenant and activist, saidΒ New South Wales Laborβs plan to push ahead with the demolition of the Waterloo estate is βridiculousβ. Isaac Nellist reports.
Police dragged local residents out of a Sydney Park protest camp at 3am on September 20 so WestConnex contractors working for the private Sydney Motorway Corporation (SMC) could set up a construction site and begin work destroying thousands of trees in the park.
WestCONnex Action Group spokesperson Colin Hesse said: βThe police had assured us numerous times that we were camping lawfully on public land, therefore they wouldnβt be taking any action to remove us from the site.
