On 16 March 2015 North Coast Voices posted The flood next time…. which looked at the issue of flood levees in the Clarence Valley that had sections that were in poor or very poor condition.
The post carried photographs of the Wilton Park, Waterview levee such as this:
This is the exchange on the subject which ended with Clarence Valley Council Mayor Richie Williamson blocking North Coast Voices’ tweets:
So I had a big grin on my face yesterday as I listened to this very same mayor (relying on the same facts as the North Coast Voices post) supporting a notice of motion that sought a report to councillors on the condition of its flood levees and, heard him admit the public safety issue and commit council to repair the damaged Waterview levee ahead of any NSW Government monetary compensation for this repair.
The grin grew even broader as I heard him address some of his remarks directly to local mainstream media.
UPDATE
Apparently
breakfast announcer with Radio 2GF Grafton, NSW Nationals party member (and campaign
manager for Nats MP for Clarence Chris
Gulaptis), Clarence Valley Mayor Richie
Williamson, who characterizes his Twitter account thus;
has
taken exception to North Coast Voices yet again;
Apparently official contributors to North Coast Voices (all of whom are Clarence Valley electors) are something to defecate on for this particular mayor.
For a local government councillor, who has been in office for ten years, it seems that à la Animal Farm some electors are definitely more equal than others.
An impressive own goal for a mayor hoping to be re-elected in around 541 days.

Excellent work!!!!
"I get my info from more balanced sources" - hmm, I could say the Mayor and myself finally have something in common but even this blog's info is probably better!
The header on this blog site says;
"This blog is open to any who wish to comment on Australian society, the state of the environment or political shenanigans at Federal, State and Local Government level."
If this is true, why are my comments never published. This site is a lefty joke. I think the Mayor is correct. Internet Trolls with nothing else to do. No balance, no right of reply. Rubbish.......

Haha, "hate speech, gratitudous insults, matters before the courts" - seems it is OK for Article writers to flaunt your rules but not commentators?
Sadly this blog isn't Moderated, it's Censored!
