Reading the letters section of The Echo I came across the two councillor’s Martin [former Greens] and Ndiaye [Greens] and also Kate Coxall who is a Greens council candidate and their letters concerning the behaviour of John Anderson aka Fast Buck$ which led to an AVO being issued.
I’ve been in Council meetings at the same time as John, yes he is boystrous, and so was I at different times on different occasions.
I understand John’s frustrations of sitting there at meetings and having to put up with the tripe that goes on; to me it sounds like the old women’s club ganging up on a male who doesn’t (in their eyes) conduct himself to their satisfaction?
I have been a conservationist for 30 years and after the supposed green councillors voted for the Clayton’s bypass and destroyed 1.5hectares of Mitchell’s rainforest snail habitat – certainly no green credentials there.
These people have brought the Byron Greens into disrepute. How these people sit in the chambers and call themselves Greens is beyond me. As for Kate the candidate – I don’t recall knowing her name. Must be a new arrival.
