Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: The Gift of Experience

This Christmas I have decided to buy my friends and family experiences.  Experiences also don’t require the purchasing of ‘stuff’. And you don’t have to wrap the stuff in more useless stuff. I’m really trying to reduce the Christmas stuffing. I’m on what I call a ‘de-stuff’ diet. It’s hard, because I am one of those people who has been addicted to stuff. Experiences, if well chosen, can have a low carbon footprint. They can be stuffless.

I was in Mullumbimby a week ago to attend a funeral and could not believe how dangerous your council has let the roads in this town become.

I grew up in this town. In my younger days when this town was under Mullumbimby Council the roads and the general appearance were wonderful.

Even driving around the town there was no evidence that there was any roadwork in progress. With all the income coming out of this town – eg rates, taxes etc – you would feel that this thriving town should expect better than this council is providing.

  1. Roads In Byron Shire are an embarrassment ! Visitors I have spoken with are amazed how a Shire that must collect substantial rates revenue can ignore the pot-holed roads.
