Letter Example 1(editor)
Dear Editor,
I write to express my disgust at the proposed agreement between the State Government of Victoria and Village Roadshow that the Werribee Park Precinct and surrounding crown land be used for a Theme Park.
The Government's gleeful endorsementof this proposal, is at best, misguided, and at worst, another inflammatory example of their deliberate strip mining of public assets.
The suppression of comment by key stakeholders, such as Zoos Victoria and Parks Victoria points squarely toward the latter. The secrecy surrounding this unholy alliance between Government and a private interest means misinformation is rife and the formation of public opinion and therefore action is stunted.
Essentially, the proposal is that Village Roadshow secures a 99 year lease on Crown land. The Government "gifts" the Werribee Park Precinct infrastructure (Mansion, Rose Garden, Zoo buildings), flora and fauna (Including the Zoo livestock) + contributes $100 Million to Village Roadshow's expenses. Village Roadshow then gives the Victorian Government a percentage of income derived from the box office.
I urge your readers to petition their local representative for a halt to brought to proceedings (due to be agreed upon on May 30th 2008) until a meaningful evaluation of the proposal be conducted.
Yours sincerely,
