Remembrance Parks Central Victoria

Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (14:49): Last Thursday I attended a public meeting held by Remembrance Parks Central Victoria to report to the community the result of the trust’s own investigation into their recent heartless action of desecrating graves by stripping them of memorabilia. The meeting was by far the worst example of community engagement I have ever experienced. The report’s 12 recommendations were all about improving governance, communication and engagement with the community, but it was clear that the board had no intention of implementing these recommendations as the format of the meeting was very much about talking at the community, not listening to them.
