9th November 2009. In order to hold a school fete in a public park adjacent to a school in Sydney , the organizers after wading through pages of legalistic Local Council claptrap had to then lodge a $4000 deposit, pay for an environmental impact statement, a traffic management assessment scheme and public liability insurance of $10 million dollars. The ANZACS would cringe if they had realized that this was the freedom they were fighting for.
