Steve Rollison, Lennox Head

I have just had a flick through this week’s Echo.

I was distracted by Paul Bibby’s ‘local news’ article about an idea hatched by a local bar owner regarding the creation of a ‘show’ done by ‘locals’.

This person is correct that many people living in Byron and nearby, are upset about the upcoming Netflix series. I suspect people would see any similarly created ‘show/series/program’ in the same light.

How about, rather than make another similar show, you continue to boycott or protest arrangements regarding this other monstrosity and NOT make another show, which will likely be taken by the vast majority as exactly the same.


Support The Echo

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
