A year later the Women of Eerwah Vale and Ridgewood’s concerns have increased
By Save Eumundi Team • Mar 12th, 2009 • Category: How are you affected?Today is International Women’s Day 2009 and this has been celebrated on March 8 for well over 100 years.
It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women. On March 8 2008, the women of Eerwah Vale and Ridgewood met together and discussed their concerns about the Powerlink proposal. As a result we composed and sent a letter on International Women’s Day which also included many signatures (see reference below). This letter was sent to every woman politician in the Queensland and Federal ALP.
We received less than a few responses all stating that they had referred the matter onto the Minister for Mines and Energy, Mr Geoff Wilson, who in turn directed our letter and many other letters, to Stuart Topp in Powerlink to respond to.
This just isn’t good enough – if we had wanted Powerlink to reply, we would have addressed the letter them directly.
Yours faithfully
The women of Ridgewood and EerwahVale and beyond.
