Minns Government to throw more kids in prison?

The Greens say the Minns Labor Government is pushing through changes to bail and criminal laws that will result in more children being trapped in the criminal justice system and sent to jail. This is in defiance of the views of civil society, the International Convention on the Rights of the Child and almost all contemporary evidence that shows sending young people to prison results in worse outcomes for both the child and society.

The Love Byron Bay boutique has it all

The Love Byron Bay boutique has been specialising in unique cocoa encounters for nearly a decade now. In this time they have sourced an exquisite range of local, national, and international selections and brought them together in one place to make what they call, ‘a flavour destination like no other!’

According to the Love Byron Bay crew, ‘Easter is one of our favourite times of the year as we get to share our love of chocolate – and its history – with you. Have you ever wondered what came first? The rabbit or the egg? Well… the rabbit was first introduced (to American Easter celebrations) in the 1700s by German immigrants to Pennsylvania, who reportedly brought over their tradition of an egg-laying hare named ‘Osterhase’ or ‘Oschter Haws’ from the Old Country. Legend has it, the rabbit would lay colourful eggs as gifts to children who were good; so kids would make nests in which the bunny could leave the eggs and even sometimes set out carrots, in case the hare got hungry’.

‘Of course,’ they say, ‘in Australia we like to do things a little differently. So, along came the Easter Bilby. The Easter Bilby was first introduced to help raise awareness and increase conservation efforts of one of our native marsupials that have become endangered. The Easter Bilby has since become a tradition in many households across the country.’

When they say that they have an exquisite range from all around the globe, they really mean it! They say, ‘We have everything, from your favourite bunnies and bilbies to dinosaur and unicorn eggs, small and giant eggs, flavoured and coloured eggs and decadent, dark 80 per cent cocoa eggs. We have chocolate to suit all dietary preferences such as gluten free, sugar free, raw and vegan.’

Now is the time, as they say, for you to, ‘hop in-store or jump online and let us help you celebrate Easter this year.’

Love Byron Bay crêperie and chocolate boutique is in the heart of Byron, on Lawson Street next to Spar Supermarket. The are open seven days, 10am to 10pm, or you can visit their online shop at love-byronbay.com – use the code ECHOEASTER at the checkout to receive ten per cent off your order.
