It’s MardiGrass!

This year is Nimbins 32nd annual MardiGrass and you’d reckon by now ‘weed’ be left alone. The same helicopter raids, the disgusting, and completely unfair, saliva testing of drivers, and we’re still not allowed to grow our own plants. We can all access legal buds via a doctor, most of it imported from Canada, but we can’t grow our own. There’s something very wrong there.

Clinton Pryor. File photo

Local filmmaker Darius Devas is holding a fundraiser screening Thursday September 6 at Pighouse Flicks for his new documentary series called HeadOn.

Darius says the films tackle youth mental health, and the new documentary is called Spirit Walker – Clinton’s Walk For Justice.

He says, ‘It tracks the last stage of young Indigenous man Clinton Pryor’s 11-month protest walk from Perth to Canberra in the name of justice for his people, and the incredibly disrespectful reception he received from Turnbull.’

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

The Echo - 0
There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.
