Demolition company caught in middle as McDonald's protest heats up Tecoma protesters make their feelings known to McDonald's. Picture: Mike Keating Source: News Limited ANTI-McDONALD'S protesters have been urged to spam a demolition company with calls and texts to stop construction work starting Monday at the controversial Tecoma site. Speaking at a rally of about 1000 people on Sunday, No Macca's in Tecoma spokesman Garry Muratore read out the mobile number of Bernie Rafferty, owner of BR Demolition, who was contracted by McDonald's to remove asbestos before demolishing the site on Wednesday. Mr Muratore said he was not breaching Mr Rafferty's privacy because the number had been published on BR Demolition's website, which crashed as protesters flooded it. He said: "Bernie is waiting to take your call." Bernie's wife Lynda told the Herald Sun on Saturday protesters had even shown up at her family's home. "It's quite alarming we've got young children," Mrs Rafferty said. Mr Muratore said he hoped the fast-food giant would "see reason and back off" from its plan to build a 24-hour restaurant in Tecoma. But he promised protesters would blockade the site on Monday in a "non-violent" protest after one woman managed to scale the roof. The woman, who refused to give her name, said she was repulsed by the development and was "trying to inspire many, many people" to climb up and prevent the demolition. Victorian Trades Hall Council industrial and campaigns officer Luke Hilakari backed the campaign and said demolition works could be dangerous because of the "chaotic element" of the protest. Eight protesters who were slapped with a Supreme Court injunction by McDonald's led the rally and received a boost with legal firm Morris Blackburn offering pro bono representation. Morris Blackburn principal Malcolm Cumming said he was concerned by the draconian legal orders sought by an "enormous corporation with enormous resources" to limit community activism. Caroline Mackay, 73, who lives in a flat next door to the proposed development, said it was an "abhorrent" idea and she did not want to live in fear of "hoons and druggies" who would frequent the restaurant.
