pitthen Another miserable protester turnout. 300,000 signed the petition. So i thought it might be tens of thousands. But even if 300,000 turned up that still is no big deal compared to a 8 million NSW population. What a complete protester fail, again.

Prepares bid to sell ad space on Sydney Harbour Bridge. GladysB Other sports (many of which attract a larger population of young gamblers) have been promoted and no one complained. Initial decision to block Everest was selective and started this. If it was taken to voters, would be like politics, about 50/50. GladysB ‘HER DECISION ‘ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂This bloke made the decision 💩
