The People in the Park rally and march in Ballina on Sunday gave voice to many people’s widespread concerns over Abbott government policies. Unpopular policies on the environment, education, pensions and asylum-children’s detention have sparked people of different ages and backgrounds to protest, many of them for the first time.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Packed lunch, packed up the kiddies and spent Sunday arvo in Ballina. C’mon people, get involved in our childrens future.
Great footage and a beautiful day for family & friends….
happy to see the community unite for a world that is more in tune with the basic needs
for all living beings and the earth that we stand on..
