Need for action

I ask my readers, especially those who live in NSW to copy and paste the following letter and send it onto our premier, minister Firth, your local member.

thepremier@www.nsw.gov.au
office@firth.minister.nsw.gov.au
LOP@parliament.nsw.gov.au
Murrumbidgee@parliament.nsw.gov.au


Dear Premier,


It is with extreme disappointment that I write to express my dissatisfaction and anger with the government's apparent backflip, or delay, in relation to the removal of unflued gas heaters in public schools throughout NSW.
Minister's Firth's announcement on Tuesday brought the government into line with existing scientific evidence and its own $2 million study. It is incomprehensible that a government can quickly find significant monies to,
for example, retain sporting events in Sydney, and yet not be able to convince treasury officials of the importance of protecting publc school children and teachers'  health.
It is equally incomprehensible that your Minister, a lawyer, would have made an announcement as she did without Cabinet approval. An endorsement of Tuesday's announcement of a change of heating policy and the funding for it must be announced immediately.


Yours...
