Inside is the video of the Open Microphone session for members of the audience, including members of community groups for Must Melbourne keep growing. Motions passed calling for a national plebescite on population numbers and for a national conference on sustainable population taking into account State of the Environment reports.
We may replace this film with one taken from another angle which recorded the size of the audience, the applause and the show of hand on the motions. In the meantime this gives the content of the Open Microphone session.

People seem to be in denial.
At this meeting, and previous Vic First meetings, as well as any Resident Action Group meeting, story after story comes through on how the democratic process has been subverted, and how vested interests are able to bypass resident concerns.
It is clear from this therefore, that the system by which residents can have input into the development of their community is completely, and deliberately broken.
Yet people insist in using it, and hitting their heads up against brick wall. There seems to be some cognitive dissonance. Everyone tells each other how the game is rigged, but continue to play exactly the same game... The government is clearly working against us, so why continue to appeal to the government?
Why? Refusal to face facts? Denial? Are people just slow and silly? Are they uncomfortable thinking outside the box?
