Planning Democracy Report No.51 - MAY 20, 2025

The Greens and Legalise Cannabis supporting the Labor Government's distopian new planning is bad enough, but for Animal Justice to do it is just ridiculous.  How many dogs and other animals are going to be euthanised because the Victorian Government is going to displace hundreds of thousands of homes with yard space currently available to dogs.  It seems that the 'feel good' parties have harvested so many kindly members but are run by utterly cynical people who must laugh at the credulity of their supporters.  I know plenty of people who voted for Animal Justice out of a sincere belief in its public face.  They have been sadly betrayed.
