Might getting media interest help? If the situation is covered perhaps it may attract public support for the museum and objection to its destruction.
It had some media attention, the blog mentioned Channel 7. But being the shit sensationalist channel that they are, of course the focus is on generating outrage.
They could've used it to generate outrage on the callous way the government is treating valuable and historically significant collections.. But noo. Too much work. Let's focus on some ugly rust instead.
Possible media routes to take,
I'm on the other side of the country so I don't know the media scene around Sydney very well, but i'm sure theres other local outlets that would be interested in this story, if those outlets suggested don't take it on.
Sorry, I missed the channel 7 bit. Have you tried the ABC? At least they are more interested in culture and patrimony. Just a thought.
