Paul Taylor, Murwillumbah

The mature male surfers present in the line-up when these serial germs go about bullying and assaulting others are themselves a part of the overall problem.

How can they turn a blind eye, paddle into another wave and pretend that it’s all cool in the tube?

Show some bloody ticker and confront these grubs!

Call them out in the water. Call them out in the street, or the pub, or the shops.

They are not welcome in the community – make that known. Stand up for yourselves, ya mates, their kids, and visitors alike.

It’s what we live with here – every day. We live in a community where there is nowhere to live and the whole world is watching what we do next, wondering if we will do what their super star tourist destinations did and regulate the housing market. People in places like Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Miami found out that tough regulations actually aren’t bad for business after all. That’s just property market profiteering propaganda.
