The price of development at any cost is just too high

How will Coldstream change with the new reforms?

I'm amazed to read that we have so many Pseudo-intellectuals living in the past who consider progress to be too high a cost? As if they would be paying. These intellectuals were schooled during the Communist Party days and time has just stood still for them and they still believe that farms should be owned by the state and the peasants should not have any chance of owning anything. These are the policies which have lead to the sale of Cubbie Station to foreign interests because government would not permit subdivision. This very policy is now locking out hundreds of potential owners of 1 hetare lots for lifestyle rural residential living some of whom want to get into Eco Farming but they cant afford the prices of 40 Ha sites which only foreigners can afford...again locking out the scores of people I communicate with who want smaller sites for intensive farming persuits. That we must all ask for permission to extend our homes and barns to go cap in hand seeking favour of the commissariat in Councils and to create another step in the potential bribery chain to keep the peasants in line.....ever since Rupert Hamer came up with his grand plan to expropriate land use and values away from their owners during the 1970's

Even the proposed changes excludes OFFICE use on farmland whilst everyone has one in non-office use areas...with many people operating online businesses in their homes/farms-office... thats how much our society has moved forward and even the Liberals are not keeping up with the times and kept Victoria in a 40 year time warp with changes now long overdue and it will create new enterprises and work during a declining industrial era in this country.
