Paul Brecht, Evans Head
Replying to Paul Spooner’s letter (The Echo 4.9.19 ) concerning his take on what he calls ‘ostrich politics’; it made me laugh and write this.
Paul, I don’t consider myself an ostrich after 30 years of being a conservationist and activist, you insult the people who are very protective of the natural environment – past, present and future.
Now go and hang your head in shame, mate and please don’t write crap like that ever again.
PS Paul you are right about one thing, the community of Byron has been devoured by the white-shoe brigade from the north. The golden eggs from Mother Goose are just about all laid, and the weight of gold is getting too heavy a burden for the town to bear.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
