Poor outcome for our friends at the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum Please contact your local members and make some noise. this collection will be lost for ever .....

We've met with Thales directors, who have confirmed they will not honour their promise to return the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum’s site to the people of Australia.
Instead, they plan to keep the site, potentially demolishing heritage buildings to expand their operations - despite having plenty of vacant land at the back, much closer to their existing facilities.
These historic buildings - and the museum they house - are at the heart of Lithgow’s identity and a crucial part of Australia’s industrial and military history. Destroying them would be an irreversible loss, wiping out an irreplaceable link to our past and a valuable research facility.
We need your help. Please sign our petitions to stand against this and protect our history:
For NSW residents (including children): www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/pages/epetition-details.aspx?q=iRYZVofsgPOgBsMVEG9Sag
For global supporters: www.change.org/savelithgowsafmuseum
And please share this post far and wide—Australia and the world need to know what’s at stake.
