Some Good News?

Finally we are hearing some good news about the Bogey Hole - the state government has offered to restore it rather than destroy it. Personally I think it only needed some minor maintenance like redirecting the water run-off on the stairs and some new chains on the oceanside fence but at least our community's treasure will be saved or will those with competing, hidden agendas find ways to claw back our hard won gains? It was about time the state government gave something back to Newcastle in return for the industrialisation of Kooragang Island which has turned our town into a coal dust-choked terminal at the mercy of multinational shareholders. But even the few crumbs from the table needed to save our Bogey Hole is begrudged by powerful voices within Newcastle's Chamber of Commerce.
