00:00Thank you very much. To Troy and to all of the people we've met with this morning,

00:05this has really been a grassroots campaign, so thank you for your advocacy, thank you for being

00:10so clear in your advice as to what the community wants. This is not our first visit, we've certainly

00:16been out on the boat, we've looked at the area, the zone where these wind turbines were projected

00:23to go 260 metres above the water. This is going to be a scar on the landscape and Meryl Swanson

00:31and Anthony Albanese and Chris Bowen need to come here and explain to the local community why

00:37the views of the local community members here are worth nothing, why are people being ignored,

00:41why are people not being listened to and it's obvious that this project should not proceed.

00:47I call on the Prime Minister and Chris Bowen and Meryl Swanson to show some leadership and some

00:52empathy towards the local community and to stop this project from proceeding. If there is a change

00:57of government at the next election then we can give an assurance to this local community that

01:02this project will not proceed, this zone will not proceed and we will make sure that the environment

01:10and the local community comes first.
