Justice has fled

Richard Torbay, NSW Parliamentary Member for Northern Tablelands, was unsuccessful in getting the 0’Farrell regime to compensate farmers for their lands acquired for environmental purposes or when land has been locked up under the Native Vegetation Act.
This comes as no surprise as it would cost the NSW Government billions if property rights were to be recognised.
Of course, the parties will say anything prior to an election, and once elected, quickly move to do the opposite.
We are used to their lies and they rely on the forgetfulness of the public when the next election comes and other rigged policies are dominating the minds of the gullible.
One wonders how property rights campaigner, Peter Spencer, will go in the High Court in his attempt to get compensation for his timber being hijacked under the Vegetation Act. Will he get justice or will he become another victim of institutionalised thievery?
We have “messiah” Newman stomping around Queensland campaigning hard but has he promised to right the wrongs that have been perpetrated on the people of Queensland over many decades? I have yet to hear him say anything worthwhile and of substance.
Justice has fled from the land and the people groan under the iniquity of it all.

Jay Nauss,
Glen Aplin
