Paul Brecht, Evans Head

I am calling on the four Greens (?) councillors to resign their positions as Byron Shire councillors now.

These four people haven’t represented the people of Byron Shire in its true sense as representatives. Why, you may ask.

If they were fair dinkum reps those who voted for destruction of flora and fauna wouldn’t have done so.

I can just imagine how Jesus felt when he made the whip and drove the corrupt money lenders out of the house of prayer; I wish I had been there to witness it.

Maybe I will witness something similar soon?
