TWO residents who occupied the roof of a forcibly acquired home in Haberfield to protect it from WestCONnex destruction this morning have been arrested and charged with trespass.

RESIDENTS are now occupying the roof of a forcibly acquired home at 1 Wolseley St Haberfield after it was fenced off by WestCONnex contractors in preparation for demolition.

On 22 March 2016, Premier Mike Baird came to Haberfield to open a patisserie. Local residents were insulted that he’d come to their community to eat cake as he was preparing to send in the bulldozers to destroy it, so they decided to make their feelings known. Leo Sullivan filmed parts of the protest. 

After Graeme McKay's heartfelt email to every MP in NSW about WestCONnex's destruction of Haberfield went viral, 2SER invited him and WestCONnex Action Group's Pauline Lockie to speak to Razors Edge about the impact of the $16.8 billion toll road project.

PREMIER Mike Baird was confronted in Haberfield on Tuesday by dozens of local residents whose communities are set to be destroyed for WestCONnex as he attended the opening of a local patisserie.

WE received the following email from longtime Haberfield resident Graeme McKay, who sent it to every MP in NSW. It's a powerful and heartfelt account of what WestCONnex's destruction means - not just to residents of Haberfield, but for people across the toll road's destructive 33km route.

Pauline Lockie of WestCONnex Action Group speaks to 2UE's Mike Jeffries about WestCONnex: why the Baird Government isn't being honest or transparent about WestCONnex, compulsory acquisitions, short-sighted road building and what's next for the campaign.

WESTCONNEX Action Group has demanded an immediate halt to the $16.8 billion WestCONnex toll road after Fairfax Media revealed more homes and businesses are likely to be acquired and destroyed to make way for the planned Rozelle and Camperdown interchanges.

Pauline Lockie of WestCONnex Action Group speaks to 2UE's Bill Woods about WestCONnex: its tolls, cost blowouts and looming failure to ease congestion, and the likely impact of unfiltered stacks and forced acquisitions in Rozelle, Lilyfield and Camperdown.

Pauline Lockie had lived in St Peters less than 2 months before WestCONnex told her they planned to forcibly acquire her new home. She shares her reasons for being part of our campaign, and why she hopes you'll help stop WestCONnex by making a donation today.
