    Property Rights

    Last Update: Monday, February 12, 2007. 1:22pm (AEDT)
    Farmers rally for property rights
    An estimated 100 farmers from western New South Wales have taken part in a property rights protest in Sydney.

    The Regional Community Survival Group, which is fighting for the right to clear invasive native scrub, joined 50 other community groups and 5,000 people at the rally in Hyde Park yesterday.

    Secretary Gabrielle Holmes says the group received overwhelming support from city organisations, which all have issues centred on property rights.

    "For too long the State Government and others, the Wilderness Society in particular, have been trying to divide the city from the country and we've talked to so many people who are going through this," she said.

    "While it's they're having planning issues, we're having native vegetation issues and it's exactly the same laws come straight in over the top of communities."

    She says representatives from each group have decided to join forces to fight for change.

    "To get representatives from each of those organisations together and form a task force and go forward with this property rights issue and really make a concerted effort for all of us to approach the Government and demand recognition of our property rights and the restoration of a fair go and get our property rights back," she said.
