W Crompton, Mullumbimby.

Could you please print the names of the committee that approved the latest art work that’s annoying everyone.

Who are they, who elected them and what qualifications do they have? I’d just like to know who is spending my money.

Are they the same people who are pulling down the hospital? Were any of the people involved in this latest rort involved in the roundhouse scam?

Why do we not only have to accept our roads are fucked but now we have a giant erection placed right in the middle of the busiest one in the shire?

Maybe even your friends, or someone in your family. Maybe you. It’s my deep shame. It’s why I will never be rich and successful. But probably why I am so deeply happy and why I am so full of love and care for other humans.
