The announcement of a Senate inquiry into the loss of landholder rights without compensation was a successful outcome of the Canberra rally on February 2.

Peter Spencer who was instrumental in bringing the issue of unjust native vegetation laws into the spotlight will speak at the Sydney rally.

The spokesperson for the Commonwealth Property Protection Association farmer Alastair McRobert will also speak at the public meeting.

Australian radio and TV personality Grant Goldman will be master of ceremonies at the rally.

Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries will speak at the protest.

He said the aim of the rally in Sydney was to raise the profile of property rights.

“Property rights are certainly not just a rural issue but a broader community based issue.

“It impends on people’s rights and also the value of their property and assets,” he said.

Mr Humphries said there were three important examples in the Barwon electorate where governments override business, individuals and community property rights.

One was the reduction in resources where water is taken away from irrigators with no compensation paid, he said.

“Landholders have had their land locked up and in town inappropriate public housing developments in Boston Street where the community have had no say,” he said.

Moree Property Rights Reclaimers chairman John Atkins said its important to protest to the State Government as they control property laws in NSW and have excluded landholders from compensation.

“The State Government laws have excluded compensation from landholders for some time,” he said.

“They are unjust terms for compensation; that we object to,” he said.

Mr Atkins said the state government having the right not to give adequate compensation was what needsed to change.

“The rights are with the government not the people,” he said.

Mr Atkins said it’s important to maintain ongoing pressure on the state government as they control the act that relates to landholder rights.
