The Echo of July 11, 2018 included an ad from Justine Elliot, Labor member for Richmond, opposing the West Byron development and a letter from local Greens party member Ian Cohen.
The letter vented some sour grapes regarding Mrs Elliot’s opposition to the development.
I am assuming that Ian is also opposed to the development, in which case I would have expected an expression of solidarity with the views of Mrs Elliot.
If, on the other hand, he supported the development, his comments would be understandable.
Either way, such remarks tend to the petulant and do not contribute to the anti-West Byron cause.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
