Darren Smith, Mullumbimby
Is it time to bypass the ‘BS’ Council, form a new grassroots unified movement and ethos formed to prevent the destruction of towns and environments like ours. If the new leadership really are so soulless and callous it’s time to drain the swamp, or is this obstructionism part of a greater career plan?
What if Byron Shire Council became so swamped, dysfunctional, and indebted to the state govt that it had to merge with Tweed and / or Ballina? A blue-green re-branded as a ‘sustainable green super shire’?
How many senior BSC staff have worked or lived in these areas previously? Who would be the perfect blue-green mayor / GM combo then?
Then who better for the Nats to send to the senate than a couple of sellout ex-greenies, proven, untrustworthy, keen to serve.
Let’s remind the budding leaders that power comes best from the roots. Maybe let your neighbourhood networks prepare for en masse rates abeyance action in order to redirect the rates resource to where it is needed, not where Byron tourist industry businesses want it.
Well said, I have thought the same. it is all part of agretaer plan to toally take away any grass roots activisim and fortify rule from above by a poltiical class which seriously sees itself as born to rule, the LNP and Alp and now Greens cabal of scumbags. Anyone want to support me in my bid for mayor next election?? I have the credibilty, education and principles. I have stood up to forest destroyers and gone to court over my principles to be bludgeoned by these state run judges and courts. They need to be totlaly purged from their positions.We need to start taking back our rights and country now.
