OPINION: Can we have respectful debate around the environment? Opinion by News Of The Area - Modern Media - December 9, 2022 DEAR News Of The Area, I HAVE just received an abusive phone call from a man who didn’t like my letters to your newspaper about protecting our environment. I wonder why he is so angry and why he didn’t identify himself? It would be great to have a respectful debate about this issue based on science and proven facts. Hopefully the abusive man will read facts and study the science about the need to save our flora and fauna which might mean he would change his mind and work to stop damage to our environment. Local police have been informed. Regards, Lil GANLY, Nambucca Valley.
