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.
“Ostrich politics”? Cr. Spooner, there are residents of Byron Shire who disagree with some of the decisions that you have made in the past. Remember the staff member at the Community Centre who received a settlement for underpayment of wages and being bullied this year.
