"The project's principal purpose is to allow more development in an area where it should never be allowed. It's not too late at all to stop this project."
“Western Sydney communities don't want to see an additional 134,000 extra people crowded into their community, and people don’t want to see a World Heritage site destroyed so developers can make a quick buck. We have to stop this dam."
"I love the Blue Mountains. It’s such a special place. Let’s not abuse it - there are better alternatives to protect people and their homes from flood events."
