A very helpful read. i just stumbled upon your stack and this gave me much thought that escaping to the rural areas will just bring more of the same.

I noticed that you quite rightly were saying you will have time off to reflect on what direction you will head in terms of putting your energy.

if i can make a suggestion that i would like to read is any activities that you are personally engaging in outside of fighting the beast system which is inevitably going to be rolled out. Locally we are seeing a coming together of people who do wish to forge a path outside of IDs etc and we are always hopeful to hear what other people are doing throughout our once great country.

Thanks for such a thought provoking read !

Thanks Rob,

Yes, I agree that the focus is local and practical now, because we are getting to the pointy end indeed! Possibly past time allowances for some strategies.

However, "locally" is not the only solution, as the talent and commitment requirements go deep, and they are not necessarily found locally.

Action, intelligence, organization skills, community-mindedness and courage are rarer qualities than I had thought.

Successful strategies become more visible to those who are already sticking their heads up, and failing a lot! It's a new kind of "seeing", where others find you too.

So if you're not already visible in the school of hard knocks, I'd get yourself there!

Good luck, and I'd still rather be in the bush!

Community Engagement appears to be happening now.

After we have been told that the Smart Agenda has been approved.

Perhaps they are feeling the heat!

They've even got those little postcard things at the pool!

I certainly can't fit my opinion on a postcard.

Well, not a polite one.

Welcome to the WEF Smart City, right under your nose, and most people think those added security cameras all over town are a security thing.

Marketing.

Think Marketing.

Then get a geeser over at the WEF website, just put Smart City into the search bar.

And bingo, you'll be a brilliant conspiracy theorist too.

Elizabeth!!! You are AMAZING!!

Another great share from you. Thanks 🙏🏻

Wow it’s Mudgee Eye’s 2 year anniversary!! Congratulations!! Thank you Freedom Sister for your keen eye, your constant research, lobbying and support of our freedoms & future.

Mudgee a smart city without community consultation- what a joke! Of course we the people do not consent or want that!

Wifi in the parks !?!?!?!? This makes my blood boil.

Sounds similar to Global giant Korea Zinc (Ark Energy’s) community consultation re the Burrendong Wind farm = that didn’t exist! Massive land grab.

Thank you for being such a Warrior fighting for our rights.

Shelley xx

Warm hugs for you and your tireless efforts, Elizabeth. Soon, I'll be by water again and be able to share more soothing frequencies... right now I'm in the heart of Toronto for the solar eclipse and this mornings clear blue sky has been bombarded with dare I say what. Light blast onward we go...

Love's harmony 🩵🩵🩵 xx

That looks like the IAP2 Delphi strategy.. Did they or do they plan to go past the "Have Your Say" stage which is supposef to be Empower and Involve stages? The last two stages are when Council has decided the people it can count on to do what they want and endorse the plan.

Because Councils have no legal status in the constitution that is the only way they can justify thdir decisions via the Local Government Act. Sorry if you know all this. It might be of interest to others.

Yes, further investigation is required.

I'm guessing it has all been hidden behind 2025?? strategy, so as not to make the Smart word too public.

We now have a few new councillors, they have no idea what they have lined up for.

I am behind in my research, it is hard to keep up, and you have several posts I have not focused on, and Kate is a bombshell just by herself.

Hmmm... !

Best regards to you and your great work.
