  1. Feel free to ring this servant of the community...

    We turned up and went and bought a bag, put out black bag in it and added to the pile.

     

    There was this big flash sign and then a huge pile of rubbish dumped where the recycling bins were. I had to laugh at the $400 fine if you dump rubbish sign where the bins used to be.

    I sat there and ate my burger whilst the pile got bigger and bigger, half the folk coming in were not boaties but locals, some by car and they were not happy

    Every local I spoke to was seething at the fact a pencil pushing idiot in a windowless room back in the city had changed the system.

     

    Fitzroy in a blow is a dangerous place in my opinion.

     

    What a joke.

  2. We were one of those boats. We sailed no further in than we have in the last 20 years. We werent even hugging the wall at all as we were in a tacking duel with another boat. We tacked JUST inside Princess wharf where you enter the Viaduct after crossing from Stanely Point.

     

    A committee boat came near us and gave us a thumbs down but we couldnt hear what they were saying and only found out the next day we were under protest.

     

    Protest was withdrawn.

  3. That report was stacked with NorthPort hacks, cronies and people who stand to make bucket loads of cash. It was never not going to recommend anything other than moving North.

     

    It is a complete waste of time and money when the result was a foregone conclusion.

     

    If it moves great, I can retire, but this decision is political and is devoid an any economic reasoning and commonsense.

     

    Im not quite sure how it all fits in with labours  hatred of the holiday highway, as the two are barometrically opposed.

     

    This is politics at its absolute worst, actually the longer I take to type type, the more furious with these total f**king clowns I get.

  4. A family member who lives on the island told me that the council is making Great Barrier '0 rubbish', which means there will be no rubbish barge this summer, nor any bottle collection facilities.

     

    The locals have complained saying boaties will dump their rubbish, so they are looking at possibly a 1 morning a week collection service at Fitzroy....maybe.

     

    They are starting to organise the school kids to begin cleaning the beaches late Jan if this happens.

     

    I pointed out boaties are pretty good, she raised one eye brow and said Id be amazed at how much rubbish gets dumped up in the bushes which was disappointing to hear.

     

    I have another family member who runs the rubbish barge but I cant get hold of him at the mo for more info.

     

    This is basically the only council service I happy pay my rates for, the rest I pay through point of a gun.
