And your petitioners humbly pray ...

Kew Cottages (2003)

To the Honorable The Members of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria in Parliament Assembled

We are members of the silent majority speaking out for the silent majority who live at Kew Cottages.

We are their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, neices, nephews, cousins and friends.

We believe residents of Kew Cottages should be allowed to live in peace in cluster housing accommodation on the Kew Cottages land with thieir friends, peers and dedicated staff if that is their wish or need.

We reject the Governmnet's intention to close all Kew Cottages and scatter our sons and daughters to the four winds.

And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

Ordered to lie on the table
