Friday morning. I have not blogged since Sunday. I have been so worn out that I am catching a cold, so I am trying to take it easy. I have to make sure I have a voice left for tomorrow, when I will address a public meeting on a street corner and take questions.
I expect to be in tomorrow's paper, but we had a change of Prime Minister yesterday, and my story may get squeezed out. My focus in trying to prevent a night club or a gambling venue in my suburb has switched from encouraging submissions to the Land Planning Authority, to engaging with politicians and the media. One of my group may approach the radio stations.
I had not wanted to make it political, but peculiarities in our legislation has made it necessary. I am gaining confidence that we may win this struggle. I was astonished to discover that 164 submissions were submitted to the Authority. I am assuming that most of these were supporting the position I have taken. I have spoken at length to one politician and another's advisor.
My group are trying to get an association formed. Even that is not straightforward.
