Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Behind the Velvet Rope

Some people get to experience life differently to the rest of us. We go out of our way to make sure things are better for them. These people tend to be super wealthy and privileged so they probably don’t need the extra curation. I wondered why we do this. I wondered what life must be like when it’s made slightly better than everyone else’s experience. When you belong to those eight seats at the front of the plane with champagne and clean toilets while the rest of us wait patiently for tea and water. Behind the velvet rope.

Food security workshop May 11

How can we as a community ensure that a steady supply of nutritious food is available to everyone after a natural disaster?

I would like to thank the adults of our community for taking a step to save Wallum, a housing development proposed on the last wallum wildflower heathland in our Shire.

It’s about time that the oldies realised that they needed to step up and do something instead of leaving a mess for us, the younger generations, to clean up.

I hope that the Clarence Property Group see this and realise how much they are hurting our future. Once this heathland is gone, it is gone forever.

Thank you to the grown-ups who are trying to save this beautiful ecosystem.

Luka Carnovale, BrunswickHeads

  1. Nimby’s, selfish little people. Where do you live, did anyone protest about your subdivision?. Do you think young people deserve a place to build and raise a family in the oh so green utopian Byron Shire?. Really, get a life.
