Preston Reservoir Progress Assoc.

Our Association is made up of residents from the City of Darebin. At our last meeting the issue of the sacking of Robert Austin was raised. There was deep concern expressed at the way in which this academic was treated, and it sees indicative of the unprincipled attacks that are taking place around this country on decent citizens who are attending to their responsibilities in the most proper way as they see it.

There was a time when we considered places of education as standard bearers in our country, where debate and difference welcomed and enjoyed. Universities and other places of academic learning produced some of the finest minds in our country. No more, what we are now seeing is almost cloning, where different opinions are no longer welcomed, but simply a nuisance to be silenced.

We felt most strongly about this and there urgently request that Dr. Austin be re instated and that he also be provided with documented evidence of whatever misdemeanor with which he is being accused.

Yours sincerely

Marion Harper, Hon.Secretary. Preston Reservoir Progress Association.
