Thankful for small mercies

When Nationals Luke Hartsuyker was voted onto the Federal Opposition benches and his compatriot Chris Gulaptis failed to find a seat, that threat to fund the installation of big brother CCTV monitoring in Grafton, South Grafton, Yamba, and possibly Maclean, thankfully went out the window.
Not a good look for a valley which prides itself on a family friendly atmosphere for the tourism trade.
Let's hope local government noticed the lack of enthusiasm for this idea reflected at the polling booths on 24 November.
More police numbers in the Clarence Valley - yes.
Having a filmed record of me surreptitiously adjusting my jeans as I walk down the street - no.
