Sign the online petition against Repco Rally Australia

The comment begins with a number of rhetorical questions implying that little harm was done to the roads and wildlife. Even if piles of dead animal carcasses were not produced by opponents of the Rally --- and who knows how many animal deaths have been concealed by Rally organisers? --- there is still good reason to fear that the disruption to the breeding cycle of many animals in the region many well tip the balance that could lead to extinction. Certainly, given that proper assessments of the impact upon the environment have not been conducted in the indecent hast of the NSW Government to force the rally on the region, it may be hard to know the answer one way or the other until it is too late. However, there is already evidence, exactly as Rally opponents feared that a number of animals in the region, whilst not having been killed, have been severely traumatised by last weekend. If the roads were not badly damaged by the rally and the reckless driving of many rally supporters it will be a miracle. Certainly a pensioner has already described how the local council has caused him considerable expense in the past by failing to properly maintain the roads, firstly by causing the necessity of paying $3000 in car repairs and secondly by causing the necessity of spending $7000 on a new car. I have yet to see a Rally supporter acknowledge this pensioner's objection to the Rally. We will learn if Chris has any intention of responding when Rally opponents provide more complete documentation on these pages the damage caused to the area by last weekend's races. We have yet to see any documentary evidence of rocks claimed to be left on the road. Certainly the claims of rocks being thrown at cars have been admitted to be false by Rally organisers, yet we yet to see a single apology from any of the pro-Rally supporters who have repeated that malicious lie on this page. Chris's complaint of protestors not having also supplied their own toilet facilities confirms the small-minded mean spirit of many Rally suppporters. People who truly care for our endangered wildlife could hardly hold this against those courageous and determined protestors who tried, without the generous support of corporations and NSW taxpayers, to defend this rich bio-diverse region last weekend. Near the end 'Chris' makes an attempt to divert this discussion with his bigotted attack on people who hold 'doof' parties in the area. If I were living it the region l would personally not want to have the peace disrupted by too many 'doof' parties either as at least one anti-Rally campaigner has put to me, but the point that these parties are far less harmful and far less dangerous than the speeding Rally cars as well as the reckless and dangerous driving of rally spectators. I suggest that 'Chris' take his own advice and "stop the rot".
