Who do you trust to look after and safeguard this farm and green space in the future?

In considering the Hurlstone Inquiry Report, we ask members of the community to consider who they trust more to be the future custodian of this important farm, heritage and local green space - under a new, exciting and better resourced model that will require passion for agriculture and education to succeed.  Do you trust:

a. The education bureaucracy who have tried 3 times in 30 years to sell the very same land and who is criticised in the Report as not understanding agricultural education? Or,

b. The school that has been a proud custodian of that land and has managed to keep it going despite an estimated $14 milion under investment by the very DET that wants to grab direct control?

We urge your support for our response that takes all the elements of the Vision in the Report but has better integration, allows increased broader access and use and puts those who genuinely care about the land and agricultural education in charge. The proposal to split the farm from the school and put the bureaucracy in charge of running it, is a recipe for failure and the major blockage to getting agreement and getting on with the future.
