On the lower stage, Gracelands, the garish pink Presley mansion with its outrageous chandeliers, is portrayed. Here, on the last day of his life, is "The King", now ageing, bloated, pill-popping and wear ing a purple jumpsuit and sunglasses. He watches his old movies and fumes because one of his trusted "aides" is ex posing his secrets to a newspaperman. In a series of flashbacks, Elvis relives his earlier experiences, the death of the twin brother whom he believes was his alter ego and stronger half, the death of his mother while he was a GI in Ger many, and the adulation poured on him as the lean, sexy king of rock. HiS manager, Colonel Tom Parker, is por trayed as his manipulator, holding a Presley dummy and gloating over the Martin Shaw as the ageing Presley in ARE profits.

On learning that Matt Brown, Minister for Housing, was to tour Waterloo with members of the Redfern Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, the SSH approached the Minister’s department for information. The Department denied plans for the meeting, only to then concede it would take place. A request for a photo of the Minister and his hosts was met with resistance. Arriving at Waterloo Green at a time confirmed by the RWCC, the SSH learned that, at the Minister’s behest, the meeting had taken place some two hours earlier. In a briefing paper leaked to the SSH the RWCC said it was concerned to “minimise the negative impact of the area” that has resulted from the Government’s location of a large number of “high needs people in Redfern Waterloo public housing”. The brief details a need to improve administration of estates in the area and for the RWCC to take an active role in redevelopment plans. Local residents -
Legislative Assembly
4538 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 24 August 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. RESIDENTIAL PARKS AMENDMENT (REGISTER) BILL 2011 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 11 August 2011. Ms CHERIE BURTON (Kogarah) [10.00 a.m.]: I also welcome to the Parliament students from Aberdeen Public School. The objects of the Residential Parks Amendment (Register) Bill 2011 are as follows: (a) to provide for the establishment of a register of residential parks, which is to contain certain information about residential parks, and (b) to require park owners or park managers to provide information about residential parks for entry in the register. The Opposition does not oppose this bill which will establish and maintain a register of all residential parks in New South Wales. Much was done by the former Government to ensure that the rights of caravan park residents were not ignored. I have spoken to a few residential groups who welcome this bill and who are positive about the establishment of a register. They believe it will give them more certainty as permanent residents of caravan parks. However, we need to establish, first, that the residents are not tourists; residential parks and caravans are home to many people in our community. A report prepared by the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Social Issues established three categories of people who live in caravan parks. The first category, usually retirees, is people who live there by choice because it is a way of life for them. -
