Woolworths have just opened a new shop in Lithgow on a corner where a park used to be.

About 30 kilometers north of Lithgow another megawealthy corporate developer has just finished buying off the NSW government so it can build a 6-star "eco-resort" in the Wolgan Valley, which runs through the World Heritage listed Wollemi National Park.
We know they have just finished buying off the govt. because news of the project has just reached the public. Of course Lithgow (pop. 25,000) and the Blue Mountains (pop. 73,000) are to benefit from the development by the creation jobs. (How big is this resort going to be?)

Lawson, the oldest town in the Blue Mountains, is about to be completely bulldozed so the highway can be widened.

Hmmm.
I wonder if there's a link between the two?
Do I seem paranoid?
I am.
