Ann votes no to freedom. Jack says freedom for all

Sunbury patriots and freedom lovers. I am the bearer of sad tidings. Last week our brave freedom fighting operatives contacted our elected municipal representatives in Councillors Ann Potter and Jack Ogilvie via our top secret encrypted e-mail system seeking indications of support for our righteous cause. Mayor Ogilvie replied that he believes in democracy and if people want to participate in a plebiscite then that's democracy at work. A true patriot.

Councillor Potter replied, asking that we ring her to discuss the matter further. ( Some in our movement suspect that this was a ploy designed to identify our covert hideout so the Hume Council fleet of black helicopters, teeming with Swat operatives or at the very least 3 Hume parking officers and the local dog catcher could be dispatched from their base at Melbourne Airport to capture our glorious leader. ) But many in our movement are prepared to give her a go and suspect that behind her party line she is a true Sunbury patriot.

What can be revealed now freedom lovers is that at around the same time as the sending of Councillor Potters email, someone voted no on our website poll that asked the question "Do you support our freedom fighters in their righteous battle to free Sunbury from the shackles of the imperialist Hume City Council?". Comparison of Councillor Potters email IP number and that of the person who responded No suggest that they are one and the same. The SLF now asks. What is Councillor Potters view on our quest to have Sunbury out of Hume and into the light of freedom and emancipation? Surely this proud daughter of Sunbury would not betray her own kin.

Councillor Potter, do our our cries of "freedom, freedom" fall on deaf ears? Open your eyes and see the dystopia that our fair land has become under the jackboot of our Hume oppressors. Does not liberty flow through your veins as sure as Jacksons and Blind creek flow through our fair lands? Do you not pine for our merry village way of life and reflect on how things once were? Whilst spending all that time sitting still in your car on Sunbury Road each morning and evening peak hour gridlock do you not think that there has to be a better way? Does not your chest swell with pride as you stroll down the broad boulevard named after my illustrious fore-father? Do you not sink into deep contemplation and ponder what it would be like to breathe free air during the many hours you spend trying to find a park within 2 km’s of the town centre? Search your heart my sister and join us in our struggle for liberation.

Put aside petty rivalries between yourself and men with large amounts of facial hair on their upper lip and a ham sandwich fetish and unite with us in a noble and just quest. History will judge us righteous. Join us. Become the Boadicea of Sunbury. I and all of Sunbury beseech you
