+=====Oil Refinery At Kurnell.=====
+(From the report submitted to the Club by Allen Strom, who represented the Wild Life Preservation Society, Federation of Bush Walking Clubs and S.B.W. on the deputation of protest to the Premier, October 23rd.)
+The deputation represented numerous bodies, including the Royal Australian Historical Society, National Trust, N.S.W. Teachers' Federation, Parks and Playgrounds Movement, Forestry Advisory Council, League of Oyster Fishermen, Local Councils (excluding Sutherland Shire), Cook's River Improvement League and the National Council of Women. It was organised and led by Mr. Guy Moore of the Forestry Advisory Council, and introduced by Colonel Bruxner, Leader of the Country Party who stressed four points:
+  - Preservation of places of early Australian history.
+  - Industrial usage and preservation of flora and fauna cannot go hand in hand.
+  - The desirability of decentralisation.
+  - The war time hazard of placing a vulnerable point at Kurnell.
+Mr. A. Halloran of the Historical Society placed emphasis on the fact that the Landing Place Reserve was already too small, and should not be despoiled. Mr. O.H. Wyndham of the National Trust made the point that increasing population made it more and more difficult to repossess places of National importance, and Mr. H. Heath (Teachers' Federation) said we could never develop a tradition without the places to enshrine.
+Mr. W.L. Hume (Parks & Playgrounds) summarised the history of Caltex's application to use Kurnell, and underlined the evidence of apparent coercion and shilly-shallying to procure Kurnell for industrial purposes. Allen Strom put forward the following points:
+  - The Landing Place Reserve had been "improved" thus reducing the picture of the true Kurnell when Cook landed.
+  - Establishment of the Refinery, and consequent development of the peninsula for housing would seal the fate of wild life in the Reserve.
+  - After having reserved land (largely at the prompting of Conservation Bodies) the Government was not to let all go to private enterprise.
+  - The Peninsula contained many plants largely peculiar to the kind of habitat. (Lists of plants and birds prepared by Mrs. T. Stead and Mr. J.A. Palmer were handed to the Premier.)
+  - Despite the vastness of our land, less than 1% has been dedicated to National Parks for preservation of wildlife and natural beauty.
+Mr. Guy Moore (Forestry Advisory Council) reiterated that the most important point for the Government was the accomplishment of its ideal of decentralisation. Speakers from the Oyster Fishermen, Councils, Progress Associations, etc. were perturbed about the oil discharge problem, dust haze and similar effluents common to these industries. Ill-effects upon the panorama and the recurrence of the Bunnerong nuisances were also mentioned.
+In his reply the Premier indicated that all natters brought forward by the deputation would be considered, but he felt that no new ground had been opened up and, in consequence, he could say that the Cabinet had concerned itself with all the evidence available, and had made its decision consequent upon such consideration.
