With the electorate steaming into the 2019 elections, there are dead fish everywhere. Is it a sign? Huge numbers of (allegedly) 100-year-old cod, having survived throughout drought after drought, cannot withstand the embedded corruption and incompetence of the LiberalNational parties. Do we need to change streams before we end up like that? Q Q Q Q
The Bureau of Meteorology on Thursday confirmed that 2018 was the third warmest year on record, with the lowest rainfall since 2005. Nine of Australia’s hottest years have occurred since 2005. Just saying.

Billionaire UK aristocrat Jonathan Harmsworth owns gossipy tabloid, the Daily Mail. Its online Australian division is the subject of continued complaints by other media outlets because it copies and pastes stories. The business model is essentially parasitic, as demonstrated last week when it lifted The Echo’s story regarding a mother’s concerns that her son was encouraged away by a religious group at the beach. True to form, the Daily Mail incorrectly named Burleigh Heads as the location instead of Brunswick Heads. Q Q Q Q

Another – yes another – public meeting on West Byron will be held by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) on February 4 to decide whether one of two massive DAs are inconsistent with planning laws and will irreparably damage unique ecology and increase traffic congestion. Endless meetings and submissions thrown at the
Fireworks in Brunswick Heads on Saturday night dazzled a big crowd, and it kicked off the 2019 woodchop competition. Events run from Wednesday, and the finals conclude on Saturday January 19. For more info visit www.bhwoodchop.com. Photo Jeff Dawson public by pro-development bureaucrats and the National party has failed to dampen the opposition (it usually does elsewhere). Back in December 2013, The Echo reported public submissions were open for the 108-hectare proposal, located opposite the Arts & Industry Estate. Then in 2014, The Echo reported that a more than 2,000-signature petition was given to then-local MP Don Page (Nationals). The latest community effort in April 2018 opposing the DAs was more than double that: 4,630 (three were in favour). Those wishing to speak at the February meeting must register with the JRPP by January 31 via enquiry@ planningpanels.nsw.gov.au. The meeting is planned for the Byron Community Centre from 4pm on February 4. Q Q Q Q
