The Hon. Peter Primrose MLC Shadow Minister for Local Government together with the Mayor of Ryde Jerome Laxale, addressed a community forum on the State Government’s proposed forced amalgamation of Lane Cove, Hunters Hill and Ryde Councils.

Is Joe Hockey going to be selfish and force local residents to a by-election twelve months out from a general Federal election? 

Lane Cove Labor is happy to announce that Peter Primrose MLC & Labor Shadow Minister for Local Government is to visit Lane Cove on Thursday 1st October for a public forum discussing the prospect of forced Council amalgamations.

Recent Letters to the Editor have suggested that the Labor party is in favour of forced amalgamations. This is not correct.

Labor Candidate for Lane Cove, Andrew Zbik has welcomed Labor’s plan to will reverse the Liberals’ retrospective cuts to compensation payments for victims of crime – and review the legislation altogether.
