Local southeastern Libertarian MP David Limbrick has spoken out in support of local Casey residents amidst the March council meeting.
Limbrick said that motoring enthusiasts of southeast Melbourne are ‘heroes’ after they “forced the City of Casey to suspend its draconian permit system while it reviews its local laws”.
“There’s still a lot of work to do and we will be watching this review carefully, but motoring enthusiasts such as Tavo Trav and Mike from Hampton Park have led the way in getting this to happen,” he said.
He further explained that it was only recently he told the parliament that councillors need to “take back control of the council”.
While acknowledging that there has been action towards this, considering the decision during the March meeting being an “important step” to “returning democracy”, more is left to be done.
“I hope we see a return to respect for property rights of people in Casey, and council meetings can go back to normal,” he said.
