Monday 18 October 2021 – Stop the privatisation of Callan Park Public Meeting

Hosted by Jamie Parker, MP for Balmain.
Before the Callan Park Act, successive Labor and Liberal governments tried to flog this site off for apartments , aged care facilities and any manner of development.
Dismantling the Act will mean a return to the bad old days of private corporations vying to carve off a slice of our park for themselves.
