Michael Stav, Mullumbimby
I would like to congratulate all who were responsible for putting up the Mullumbimby Gateway’s new totem pole.
It’s a great place to rest with a beautiful presentation respecting the origins of Mullumbimby and the spirit of the Aboriginal traditional custodians of this area.
I’d encourage everyone to pay it a visit. You will feel proud and lucky to be here.
I was then struck by how opposite the spirit is from what Telstra is trying to do to Mullum with its plans for 5G.
The totem should encourage all public servants to preserve the 5G-free aspects of Mullumbimby.
The shire is already a test case for a fluoride-free public water supply.
We should continue in that spirit as a 5G-free community, to see if we can survive, and indeed thrive, with the lack of both.
Please Telstra, visit the totem and pick on somebody else.
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.
