MEDIA: Channel TEN 6:30 4 March 2011 'Bring in the buses'


Another great story with CFMEU (Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union) Bud Neiland on Channel Ten tonight with Ten's News Reporter, Jonathan Lea. Thanks Channel Ten.

If the workforce car park is located in ANZAC Park using either the North ANZAC Park option or the Dog off leash option, the workers are still going to have to be bussed to the western worksite anyway, as it will be too far for the workers to walk - it will be at least 1km (NOT the 430 metres that BCC said it will be - very 'Quirky' arithmetic going on it seems). At the eastern end of the tunnel project BCC have a construction workforce car park and it is already confirmed by BCC that the workers will be bussed to the eastern worksite. If bussing can be done at the eastern end it can be done at the western end too. Save ANZAC Park and put the car park on Mt Coot-tha as suggested in the other options.

Give the workers a break, who wants to walk a long distance back to their car in the dark and rain after a long shift at work. If BCC think it might save a few bucks by descrating ANZAC Park they need to think again! The workers are the ones who will be building the tunnel so BCC might want to listen to their views on this car parking matter. There is no difference in cost between Anzac Park and the other sites - so SAVE ANZAC PARK.
