Blasting Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It, Mr MacSmith drove through Dubbo's central business district in protest of the council amalgamations, particularly concerning rural councils.

"A Dubbo takeover of Wellington, that doesn't make sense," Mr MacSmith said.

"The only person who can stop it is Troy Grant. He's head of the Nationals and he's going to suffer severe backlash if this goes ahead."

Mr MacSmith said amalgamating city councils with rural would lead to a loss of democracy.

"We're not against amalgamation, some Sydney council's should be amalgamated, but putting a rural council together with a city council makes no sense. You never merge different cultures," he said.

"There's 10 kilometres of unsealed roads in Orange and 1200 in Cabonne. Who in Orange Council is going to fix the roads in Eugowra?"

As a Molong resident, Mr MacSmith said the signs started due to the proposed merger of Orange and Cabonne.

"Orange has lost Electrolux, Arcadia has had another 400 job cuts, the distribution centre at the hospital has closed. Now there's going to be a loss of jobs in Orange Council, because they've guaranteed there won't be a loss of jobs in the regions," Mr MacSmith said.

The public inquiry will be held at Molong on Friday at 9am and Mr MacSmith is hoping shop owners, employees and council workers all unite before it in protest.

"There'll be 1000 people at the demonstration. Everyone's had enough," he said.

In a poster urging people to attend, Mr MacSmith wrote: "we need everyone to close up all businesses small or large to show the NSW government that we are united. That rural people stand together. That rural towns do not want to be taken over by a city council".

At Dubbo, the inquiry will be held at Club Dubbo on Thursday, February 4, from 3pm to 5pm and 7pm to 10pm.

An additional inquiry will be held at Wellington on the same day at the Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club from 9am to 12pm.
