I refer to last week’s letter by Page O’Hara. I too pay rates and was also denied a parking permit.
We live in Byron Shire, however have a business over the border. Our two cars are registered to our business. We have Queensland drivers’ licences as our business requires us to deal with registration plates in Queensland as part of our business operations, so they remain as Queensland. We also pay rates in Queensland.
As we live so close to the border there must be many others in our situation. Surely common sense should prevail in these situations. I went into the Council offices in Mullum with a book of evidence but was flatly denied. Seems discriminative to me.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
