We certainly have been dished up some nonsense recently from dysfunctional Local Land Services to Local Government Council amalgamations and now this rubbish about banning greyhound racing completely by 2017. 

Just when you would think it can't get any more ridiculous - Councillors Alan Griffiths and Jan Parlett have lodged a ‘Notice of Motion’ to be discussed at the Thursday July 21 Council meeting, that will commence at 5pm in Council Chambers,  to change Main Street parking to nose in parking or a combination of centre parking and parallel parking.

 We have dealt with this issue in the past and it was proven then that the residents of the Grenfell community do not want nose in parking in the Main Street. 

The last time nose in parking was proposed a petition with hundreds of signatures objecting to the idea was presented to Council and it was eventually abandoned.   

The issue of damaged verandah posts can easily be addressed by steel and paint. 

Both have been available for thousands of years and modern technology can most definitely provide an appropriate aesthetic result.

My brave little mate the Ooomanakker bird told me the local feathered community is also up in wings. 

The poultry committee, led by a flock of old ducks who have their groceries delivered to the boot of their cars from the footpath,  issued a press release saying they believe the idea was completely and utterly quacked.
