Ray Smith and Andrew Fraser both at Save Anzac Park picnic today




Ray Smith, Labor's Lord Mayoral candidate for the next Brisbane City Council election in March 2012 and Andrew Fraser MP, Labor State Member for Mt Coot-tha both attended the picnic today and were very generous with their time. Unlike the incumbent Liberal National Party who treat the locals with contempt, Andrew Fraser and Ray Smith actually listened to us and gave us their support. Obviously Cr Peter Matic and Lord Mayor Campbell Newman have not heard the saying ‘politics is a victory chased by defeat’.

Ray Smith was taken for a walk around the park by Friends of Anzac Park and shown the location for the car park. He was appalled by the proposal and said that a car park within Anzac Park will destroy the park.

Also attending were the Normanby Action Group and Save Ada Park-Mt Coot-tha Residents Group who have also been given the run around by Lord Mayor Campbell Newman and his henchmen with the Northern Link Road Tunnel Project. We all agreed that we just won’t stand for this sort of treatment anymore.

Friends of Anzac Park Toowong would like to say thank you very much to Andrew Fraser and Ray Smith who can be assured that we have very good memories in this neck of the woods around election time. Ray Smith will be the next Mayor of Brisbane. Even the staunch Liberals around here have their noses out of joint over this proposal. Thank you to everyone else who came along too.

The park is for the use of the community. Many of the locals who use the park give their time to the community with volunteer work and we use the park to relax and recharge. The park is essential for our health and happiness. It's a beautiful public park and everyone is welcome here.
