Calling on The Hon. Natalie Hutchins MP to save our Festival

let it be!

please save this festival. Cancelling it at the last minute for such a trivial excuse is really poor form.

We can not be blind to the good that happens which can change lifes n be a celebration just because a few people are still making a journey towards positive transformation.. !! Like I said " Ban Gambling not Festivals!!!

Ban Gambling not Festivals!!!

Show some love

This festival brings roughly $100k into Charlton - a small country town that has struggled through drought and floods. It is so good for the town, let alone the thousands of people that come to enjoy the festival.

Thanks

Let go, move forward! Let the people experience this :)

Event is of great significance to the Australian music and cultural scene. This looks bad on Victoria..

Country Victoria needs people and Victoria needs festivals.

Please be aloud to go ahead!

its an Arty weekend that allow a lot of hard working people to relax, reconnect . its good and enriching for the local businesses and important for the city folks. To have those moments with the land and the music and art . A unique type of sharing , bonding and restrengthening of the individual spirit . we all need every once in a while an outlet from the daily pressure . Maitreya in a gentle way through the modem of music and dancing is just that. One of the greatest quality and advantage of Australia compared to the rest of the world is its unspoiled nature and the freedom accorded to its citizens , please do keep it this way!

Save the doof!

This festival is good for everybody. Please reconsider

Stop fighting us, start helping us

Please allow maitreya to be held it such good festival do good for the surrounding Bussiness

What why get rid of something fun!!!

Live and let to live

Festival by the people for the people

To whom it may concern As an Arts Educator I look towards festivals such as Maitreya as enabling and cultivating positive networks that enrich Victorias cultural Arts heritage. As national leader of 'the Arts', Victoria sends a strong message to international shores which attracts opportunities for industry growth in numerous sectors including tourism, higher education and music. The cascading effects of disabling alternative festivals such as Maitreya are phenomenal. This action will ultimately deliver a negative return for councils in the short term as local income and in the long term as multiple lost revenue streams. Please reconsider. Ellen Brogan.
