In a Shire like ours you don’t have to look hard to see the great work our volunteers and community groups do, so it’s one of our smaller budget items that probably does some of the greater good in our community. We’ve allocated $22,900 for five not-for-profit organisations to help them with the work they do in our Shire – the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter, Brunswick Valley Rescue, Brunswick Volunteer Marine Rescue, North Coast Academy of Sport, and Tweed- Byron Life Education. Yes it’s a small donation, but it’s recognition of the immense benefit these organisations bring to the community in terms of emergency help, education and sporting opportunities for young people.

In the previous border closure earlier this year I knew of www.bys.org.au people who were able to get border passes for a day trip to IKEA. Just a few months ago we could print a pass and return home with a flat pack. Now we have to beg for chemo. That’s nuts. We don’t even have COVID here. In Northern NSW we’ve become refugees in our own country. We are standing at the border knocking, ‘Hey Queensland, you’ve been coming down here every weekend for years now, clogging up our roads, swimming at our beaches, enjoying our kooky hippyesque charm… we don’t want to come in for a holiday, we would like to go to hospital.’ Until COVID, borders were something that only meant something in the State of Origin. Or if someone cut you off on the highway and had a Queensland numberplate you mused it was because of their statewide merging disorder. For over half the year they’re an hour behind us because of their silly reluctance to take on daylight savings. But now the Queensland border has been sealed shut. They’re sailing into the distance. Who knows how far behind they may be once the border reopens? Will we need passports to enter? COVID has carved Australia into a quarantine pie, it has made us separate people. It has made Queenslanders distrustful of us. And here in NSW, it has made us suspicious of Victorians. Every time we see a VIC numberplate we hit down hard on the hand sanitiser. State premiers who previously seemed a tad irrelevant in the big game of politics have become the major players. They get to play Big Daddy or Big Mummy to Hunnybee – one of the young music keep their state safe. I’m not sure what’s happened to Scott acts from BYS livestreaming at 2pm Morrison – he appears to have gone to sleep.

He has to bring the COVID-19 outbreak under control, otherwise the rest of Australia will blame Victoria for their financial ruin. He does look very tired. The pandemic has ugly impacts. It has made us territorial. We are one country – at least we used to be. Our lockdown has sent us to our burrows – it has made us conspiratorial and suspicious. It is causing us to lose trust. When Annastacia created a travel bubble between Queensland and NSW, she cut Mullumbimby and Byron Bay out. I doubt that was an accident with the protractor in the planning department. ‘We ran out of arc’. It’s because people from Sydney come here. It’s because we’re perceived as loose – aft er all we’re famous for immunising with a turmeric poultice. CCommunityommunity RadioRadio BayBay FMFM 99.999.9 We Love Our So, farewell Queensland.

Another humpback whale was caught in a shark net in Queensland, this time tangled in a drumline. Calls to remove nets and drumlines during whale migration season have increased. This is the fift h whale to be caught in shark control equipment this year in Queensland. Q Q Q Q If this week you find yourself or your friends expressing something along the lines of ‘I never used to agree with Alan Jones but what he is saying makes a lot of sense’, then maybe it’s time to take a moment to reflect; has he changed, or have you? Q Q Q Q The Dish has been off icially recognised for its contribution to Australian astronomy and humankind’s understanding of the universe with its addition to the National Heritage List. We are referring to the iconic Parkes radio telescope that played a key role in receiving the television signals from the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon and sharing this technological feat with 600 million people around the world.

Q Q Q Q The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has welcomed its sixth Glossy Black Cockatoo chick – definitely an achievement considering the species only lay one egg every two years. They have also welcomed the arrival of a Brush-tailed Rock- wallaby joey to help bolster the population that is currently listed as vulnerable nationally. And last but not least, a baby koala joey has popped its head out to say hello for the first time since it was born six months ago. So perhaps there is hope aft er all!
