Last week some crazy woman with a bunch of brainwashed kids protesting against a circus in Coffs. Animal enslavement they screeched. But what difference between a lion bred in captivity, and a farmer's dog, or those thousands of horses, broken and used for pleasure or work?

All those household pets enslaved just to provide pleasure or company for their human masters. All us human animals working as slaves to provide for all those with a hand-out. All you bleeding hearts, break out, practice what you preach, and shack up in a cave somewhere, and do the nature thing.
Now for the comments of the week.
Our Green mayor, Dominic King’s comment on the Blueberry industry: “The industry is lucrative and provides no benefit to the Shire”. The Blueberry industry is quite an intensive form of horticulture, which employs large numbers of workers and hopefully will earn the country some desperately needed export income.
More importantly the above comments provide an insight into what’s down the track for this shire. The Greens’ philosophy is that making money is a crime. Cutting it down, farming, mining, fishing, is environmental vandalism, which sounds great to me, until you realise we must import everything, with no money to pay for it.
As for the camphors in Church Street, I oppose their removal, particularly on the grounds of noxious weeds, and presenting a danger to the public. What about those big ones in the park, or down the street in front of Parliament House?
Millions of camphors throughout the Shire. To remove an established tree and expect to re-establish another in a busy area such as Church Street is like taking a ticket in Lotto. Already one of the three brush boxes recently established is gone and of course, what idiot would select brush box (a native of course) but a tree that can reach 50 metres in height.
Everything has its lifespan, but I reckon those old trees are sound and healthy and with a good prune every decade will serve a useful purpose for decades. The pressing issue for Hyde Street is access from North Bello.
