Locals joined in the G20 protests at our most easterly pointy bit on Saturday and intend to make a video of a rap, created by Francis Einstein and Ha Ha, which in part proclaims: ‘We will not be governed/ We will not be ruled/ By the pampered pimps of state/ We will not be fooled.’ Photo Jeff ‘I Thought Masquerade Was A Drink’ Dawson OPPOSITE THE CINEMA IN JONSON STREET, BYRON BAY

The long-serving Ballina MP Don Page made his final speech to parliament on Remembrance Day. You can read it at http://bit.ly/Pagespeech. He holds the line that there will be no CSG mining in the northern rivers but government policy leaked to the Daily Telegraph shows that new coal seam gas licences will be issued throughout the state with a compensation scheme introduced for affected farmers and communities. A bald-faced attempt at bribery in the best tradition of both major parties over the last 20 years. Apparently Metgasco’s CEO Peter Henderson will be addressing the Murwillumbah Nationals in the near future. Q Q Q Q
We’ve had a bitumen bandit on the loose in the Shire, says a local resident: ‘Bloke turns up, says their equipment broke down laying bitumen
on the highway and they have half a kilometre worth to get rid of. Can resurface our driveway for $20 per metre.’ You can report such scams to Fair Trading at www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ or to www. scamwatch.gov.au. Above all, don’t give them the work and instead use reputable local tradespeople.
drug overdose at a dance
party in Sydney highlights the dangers of both buying stuff you don’t have a clue about and of drug law approaches with a low emphasis on education. In addition, the media and the police keep banging on about ‘ecstasy’ when the drug could have been any kind of shit rather than the real MDMA – download fact sheet here: https://ndarc.med.unsw.edu. au/resource/ecstasy. A 2012 Australian report on illicit drugs – http://bit.ly/Oz21pdf – recommended that we ‘replace the current criminalisation and punishment of people who use drugs with the offer of health and treatment services to those who need them’ but little seems to have changed since then thanks to legislators high on lawandordernumb, a very addictive substance.

In their joint policy announcement America and China, unlike Australia, have set themselves bold targets in reductions in carbon pollution. As a dictatorship China will have an easier job of it while Obama will have to try to steer his plans past the braindead zombies who constitute the Republican leadership. Australia’s coal barons will be spitting chips and calling for further taxpayer subsidies. Q Q Q Q
