Petition
in favour of public debate on the sale of the Snowy Hydro
To the Honourable President and Members of the Legislative Council of New South Wales and the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales

We the undersigned petition that the New South Wales Government immediately halt the sale process of Snowy Hydro Limited. We then ask that all interested parties - all governments, Snowy Hydro Ltd, the general public - immediately be allowed to engage in a free and open debate to determine whether the sale of Snowy Hydro is the fair and proper action for this asset.
We feel that this proposed sale has been rushed and has not allowed debate on whether the privatisation of Snowy Hydro is the proper action. We ask that all parties consider the historic, cultural, social and iconic status of the Snowy Hydro as well as the National Heritage importance in the debate and weigh up the benefits and drawbacks of such a sale.

We ask that the New South Wales Parliament accept this petition and seriously consider the ramifications of not stopping the sale of Snowy Hydro to the community, not just in the Monaro, but in New South Wales and Australia.
