UPPER LACHLAN SHIRE COUNCIL FACEBOOK PAGE IT HAS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CC FACEBOOK PAGE THAT THE UPPER LACHLAN SHIRE COUNCIL WILL NOT ENTERTAIN POSTINGS ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE ABOUT THE GULLEN RANGE WIND FARM. THIS APPARENTLY BY ORDER OF THE GENERAL MANAGER, MR JOHN BELL. THE EXPLANATION GIVEN IS THAT THE ULSC "IN NEITHER PARTIAL OR IMPARTIAL TO WIND FARMS". THE STANCE OF THE ULSC ON WIND FARMS SHOULD HAVE NO BEARING ON THE CITIZENRY EXPRESSING OPINIONS IN A PUBLIC FORUM ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT MATTER TO THE CROOKWELL AND DISTRICTS COMMUNITY. THE RIGHT OF THE POPULACE TO COMMENT ON VITAL POLITICAL ISSUES IN THE PUBLIC FORUM WHICH FACEBOOK HAS BECOME SHOULD BE A BASIC RIGHT IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. HOW CAN COUNCIL GLEAN OPINION OF THE RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS BY CENSORING FREE SPEECH? ULSC EITHER PERMIT LEGITIMATE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENT OR TAKE DOWN THE FACEBOOK PAGE.
